Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Apical periodontitis (AP) is an endodontic infection that may persist asymptomatically and be reflected in systemic inflammatory status. This study aimed to evaluate the association between radiographic severity of AP and next‐generation systemic inflammatory biomarkers in systemically healthy adults.

Trace Element Patterns in Juvenile Wild Chimpanzee Dentitions
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Trace elements are used to infer mammalian early‐life diets, environmental toxins, dispersal patterns, stress histories, and weaning ages. Here, we employ laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) to reveal elemental patterns in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees.

Model‐Based Cost‐Effectiveness of Direct Restorations: Amalgam Dominates
Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives A phase‐down of dental amalgam use has been mandated and the feasibility of its phase‐out in England by 2030 is being explored. Amalgam use in English National Health Service (NHS) care still predominates for posterior restorations, though access to this care is increasingly limited.

Longitudinal Analysis of Fluoride Levels in Irish Water Supplies: A 52‐Year Review
Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background/Aim The Health (Fluoridation of Water Supplies) Act of 1960 in Ireland mandates monthly fluoride sampling in Public Water Supplies (PWS). In 2007, authorities adjusted the mandated fluoride concentration from 0.8–1.0 to 0.6–0.8 mg/L. Approximately 71% of the Irish population has access to fluoridated drinking water. This study aimed

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Due to inadequate access to regular, affordable dental care, many patients turn to emergency departments (EDs) for the treatment of nontraumatic dental conditions (NTDCs). NTDC ED visits are a large burden on the U.S. healthcare system, with over 1.3 million visits each year and over $1 billion in associated charges.
