Diet, nutrition and oral health are closely linked. Nutrition is an essential for the growth, development, and maintenance of structures and tissues in the mouth. During periods of rapid cell growth, there can be an irreversible effect on the developing oral tissues if any nutrition deficiency is present. Prior to tooth eruption in the mouth, nutritional status can influence tooth enamel maturation and chemical composition as well as tooth shape and size. Early malnutrition increases a child’s risk to tooth decay in the baby teeth.Throughout life, nutritional deficiencies or toxicities can affect host resistance, healing, oral function, and oral-tissue integrity.

Connective tissue graft allowed to reestablish the gingival contour and architecture
Grafting has been used in Periodontal therapy and implants as a mean to reestablish the loss periodontal apparatus (alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, and cementum). Connective tissue graft also allowed to reestablish the gingival contour and architecture for the harmony and esthetic of the smile. In the past, these procedures can be enhanced by the use of membrane as the physical barrier to prevent epithelial and tissue migration in the graft site which may lead to contact inhibition of bone cell migration. Today, another breakthrough in the surgical procedure is the use of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) to improve surgical outcomes by accelerating the body’s natural healing process.

Illness during a flight may lead to an unscheduled landing
Illness during a flight may lead to an unscheduled landing. This is expensive for the airline and extremely inconvenient for other passengers. There are relatively few situations where travel by flight is not allowed, and having a tooth abscess is one of them. Although the pain might not be so severe to the stage where the aircraft would have to do a force landing, however, different people have different level for tolerance of pain. So it is generally unwise to deliberately fly with a known tooth abscess in the mouth.
Most people are aware that the air gets thinner, providing less oxygen the higher you go. To help deal with this, commercial aircraft are pressurised to the equivalent of an altitude of 1500-2000m. This still results in a relatively small fall in oxygen saturation of the order of 3-5%, which may be significant for travellers whose oxygenation is already compromised by severe cardiac/respiratory disease. In practical terms, people with severe heart or lung disease who can walk 50m on level ground or ascend a flight of 12 domestic stairs are probably fit to fly. Continue reading
