The properties, according to international specifications, of two dental silicate cements manufactured in Brazil, have been investigated. The products comply to the specifications, except as to compressive strenght valuse, which seemed particullarly low in one of the products. Dissemination of this type of information will not only assist tse dental profession in selecting proper materials, but will also encourage and stimulate the improvement in the manufacturing of dental materials.

Argumentative Competence

SUMMARY The topic of material tissue interaction has gained increasing interest over recent decades from both the dental profession and the public. The primary goal initially was to avoid adverse reactions after the application of dental materials. New laboratory test methods have been developed, and currently premarket testing programs, which attempt to guarantee a basic level of patient safety, are legally required worldwide. The dentist is responsible for selecting the correct indication as well as the proper handling of any newly emerging risk. Apart from this phenomenon-oriented “inert materials concept,” the “analytical concept” focuses primarily on analyzing the reasons for adverse reactions, and identifying their associated modifying factors, in order to prevent them or to develop new and more biocompatible materials. The “concept of bioactivity” involves addressing the possibility of positively influencing tissue by materials application, such as the generation of tertiary dentin or antibacterial effects. Finally, tissue regeneration may be supported and promoted by the use of various suitable materials (matrices/scaffolds) into which stem cells can migrate or be seeded, leading to cell differentiation and the generation of new tissue. These new dental materials must also fulfill additional requirements such as controlled degradability in order to be suitable for clinical use. Clearly, the field of material tissue interaction is complex and comprises a wide range of issues. To be successful as dentists in the future, practitioners should remain informed of these important new developments and have the argumentative competence to both properly advise and treat their patients.

The next issue of the Primary Dental Journal will focus on radiology and radiation protection. As a professional development journal for the whole dental team, we are keen to include all members of the dental profession, and are aware that this topic may not be as valuable for dental technicians. As a result, we would particularly like to hear from dental technicians who would be interested in contributing a piece for the January 2013 edition of the PDJ on dental materials.
