A new independent, international dental journal, Dental Hypotheses, will soon hit the web and the press. Like many dentistry publications, this journal will provide peer-reviewed articles for the professional dental community. However, Editors-In-Chief Edward F. Rossomando (Director of the Biodontics® Program at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine., United States) and Jafar Kolahi (Torabinejad Research Center, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences,Isfahan, Iran, Islamic Republic)and their editorial team seek submissions about controversial and out-of-the-ordinary issues. For example, nano-dentistry, biodontics, dental specialties, community dental health, and the economy of dentistry are ideal topics for submission.
Dental Hypotheses is not supported by any institution, commercial company, or advertisers, and authors are not charged for publication. The magazine supports academic freedom for presentation and criticism of challenging, thought-provoking ideas in the dental field.

Researchers at Howard University in Washington College of Dentistry believe that tooth enamel stores important data about a person’s exposure to radiation. The team is developing Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) to determine the level of free radicals in substances, including tooth enamel.
What will this information be used for? The hope is that EPR can assist medical workers in triaging patients or dividing victims of radiation exposure into classes by the amount of radiation received. The new technology is minimally-invasive and would provide data useful in treating people exposed to radiation in an accident or by a “dirty bomb,” which refers to a radiation dispersal device.

Dentalblogs has covered OraVerse in previous posts. The drug is intended to reverse the effects of local anesthesia quickly so that patients promptly regain feeling in areas made numb during dental procedures.
On February 26th, xconomy San Diego published an article that tells us the FDA is not pleased with a marketing brochure published by Novalar. The FDA instructed Novalar, maker of OraVerse, to amend the drug brochure. Read the letter here. The FDA claims that the brochure minimizes and omits risks and overstates benefits of OraVerse. Issues such as pain at the injection site, headache, and pain following a dental procedure are not mentioned in the brochure. In addition, the brochure states that OraVerse can be administered to children as young as four years old, while it is actually cleared for children six and older.
The Novalar CEO, Donna Jansen, says that the brochure in question is no longer in use. If you’re concerned that you may still have copies of the brochure in question, visit xconomy to download a PDF.
