First Line Treatment

Intrathecal drug delivery (ITDD) allows drugs to be placed near to central receptors Drug side-effects may be reduced as small doses are required compared to with systemic administration External or internal ITDD systems are available ITDD requires careful patient selection and preparation Opioids, local anaesthetics, and clonidine are the most commonly used intrathecal drugs; ziconotide can be used as first line treatment...

Surface Changes

Despite careful patient selection, decalcification still remains a problem during fixed orthodontic treatment. The advantages of a method of delivering fluoride to the area of the tooth most at risk, which does not rely on patient compliance, makes a fluoride releasing bonding adhesive desirable. The aims of this study were to investigate the potential of a fluoride releasing bonding material for preventing decalcification and to monitor its efficacy at retaining orthodontic brackets. In order to carry out the first part of the study it was necessary to devise a reproducible and sensitive method of recording the extent and severity of any decalcification. A photographic technique which fulfils these criteria is described.
