In the most recent issue of the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, editor Leon Assael discusses the surgeon’s willingness, or unwillingness to address research for guidance with patient care. Assael suggests that surgery is an art which needs to be melded with science. His solution is the use of “POEMS” an acronym which stands for “Patient-Oriented Evidence that Matters.”
POEMS are summaries of clinically relevant research studies and are accessible by searching Essential Evidence Plus, an evidence-based medical information system brought to University of Rochester affiliates by Miner library.
In addition to the use of POEMS at the point of care, email delivery provides the surgeon with an easy and quick method of keeping up to date. UR faculty, staff and students are invited to sign up for e-mail delivery of the daily POEM.
For additional information on evidence based and point of care resources provided by your libraries, please contact us.

How fitting that President Barack Obama declared the month of October to be National Information Literacy Awareness Month. Why? Because October has long been delegated to celebrate National Medical Librarians Month!
Obama calls for all Americans to effectively navigate the vast amounts of information available, in its many formats. He also points out the issue of authenticity and the need to effectively evaluate the information presented.
So how does one go about increasing their information literacy? Why not ask your librarian? Librarians are trained to:
- identify appropriate resources
- effectively navigate resources in all formats
- apply search techniques that will provide relevant results
- help you stay up-to-date in your field
- save you time
- inform and advise patrons of the latest information technologies
- evaluate resources for validity, applicability and authenticity
- provide information literacy training for our patrons
- and much much more
So, please take the time to consider your information needs and feel free to contact us to work with you.
Finally, in celebration of National Medical Librarians Month, we’ll try to keep our candy supply well stocked!

The National Center for Biotechnology Information and the National Library of Medicine have been busy redesigning the PubMed search interface. The current interface provides a link to preview the new design. Full implementation is expected to take place within the month.
Many of the changes are significant; however, the process of linking to the full text of the University’s subscribed resources remains the same.
Miner library will be providing hands-on training sessions throughout the month of October. In addition, Bibby library staff are available to meet with EIOH faculty, staff and students to provide training and demonstrations. If you would like additional information, please contact Elizabeth Kettell at 585.275.3247 or elizabeth_kettell@urmc.rochester.edu.

Every year on September 21, Alzheimer’s Disease associations across the globe recognize World Alzheimer’s Day. This year’s theme for World Alzheimer’s Day is ‘Diagnosing Dementia: See It Sooner’.
Across the globe scientists are aiming to establish a link between oral health and Alzheimers. For example, the British Dental Health Foundation received a grant to study the links between memory and oral health.
Other studies have examined a possible connection between dental fillings and Alzheimers.
For additional information on the role of oral health in Alzheimer’s disease, Bibby library has compiled a list of articles , indexed in Pubmed, that pertain to dentistry’s role in diagnosing and caring for these patients.

Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol found in some food products and used as a sugar substitute. Studies strongly suggest that xylitol is non-cariogenic. That is, xylitol decreases streptococcus mutans levels in plaque and saliva, thus reducing the incidence of dental caries.
Despite these findings, there is little information on the amount of xylitol needed in food products to be effective. In addition, xylitol is not a clearly labeled ingredient on food packages.
According to the HealthPartners Dental Group and Clinics caries guideline, “xylitol can significantly reduce caries progression if used for five minutes 3-4 times a day after meals and snacks.” The guideline also states that at least 4 grams of xylitol should be consumed daily.”
In its revised Policy on the use of Xlyitol in Caries Prevention, The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry stated that they support preventive strategies that use sugar substitutes. However, the academy recommends further research and encourages clear labeling of products which contain xylitol.

Bibby Library Launches New Archival Exhibit
We are pleased to bring you a collection of images depicting George Eastman’s establishment of dental clinics in London, Paris, Rome, Brussels and Stockholm during the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Similar in architecture and purpose, the clinics illustrate Eastman’s desire for indigent children to have access to dental treatment and to be taught preventive care.
Eastman’s representative and the first director of the Rochester Dental Dispensary, Dr. Harvey Burkhart, and his family traveled to Europe frequently during this time and often met with royalty and other foreign dignitaries.
The collection may be viewed at the Bibby library website. Print images are stored in the Bibby archives for preservation.

The use of multiple medications presents the risk of dangerous drug interactions. In a recent survey**, 950 clinicians were asked to correctly identify drug pairs with potential dangerous interactions. Results of the study indicated that only 43% of the respondents correctly identified the dangerous pairs.
Miner library subscribes to and makes available to University of Rochester affiliates Micromedex, a collection of drug databases. Micromedex includes a tool that allows you to check for drug interactions.
To access, select Micromedex from the Miner library homepage. Then, enter the names of the drugs and select “check interactions”. The results display includes categories for Drug-Drug, Drug-Allergy, Drug-Food, Drug-Ethanol, Drug-Lab, Drug-Tobacco, Drug-Pregnancy , and Drug-Lactation. A summary and documentation are provided as well as a rating regarding the severity of the interaction.
If you are a PDA user, you may want to look at the list of PDA resources provided by Miner library. The list includes links to free and paid resources, many with pharmacological information.

Previous research has suggested a link between periodontal disease and premature birth. Consequently, pregnant woman have been encouraged to undergo periodontal treatment to reduce these risks.
However, recent studies conducted at the Univeristy of North Carolina’s School of Dentistry revealed no significant differences in pregnancy outcomes when study participants received treatment, as compared to those participants who did not.
As a result of these findings, the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) released a statement calling for additional research to “clarify the potential impact that periodontal disease has on the risk of preterm births“. The AAP also continues to encourage pregnant women to care for their oral health.
You may also wish to read what the ADA has to say about this topic.

The Cochrane Collaboration recently published a review evaluating the effectiveness of systemic acyclovir for primary herpetic gingivostomatitis.
Preparation of the review involved searching selected databases for randomized controlled trials which compared acyclovir to placebo in children and young adults under 25 years of age with a diagnosis of primary herpetic gingivostomatitis with or without herpes labialis. Selected databases included: Cochrane Oral Health Group’s Trials Register, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, and EMBASE.
The authors concluded that there is some weak evidence that acyclovir can be an effective treatment in decreasing some of the symptoms caused by primary herpetic gingivostomatitis.
The full review may be read here.

Three resolutions were adopted by the ADA house of delegates at the annual meeting in October. These resolutions recognize the importance of Oral Health Literacy and support the goal of ensuring that dental patients receive “clear, accurate and effective communication”.
Health Literacy is defined as “the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions” (HRSA).
- Patients with limited health literacy are less knowledgeable about preventive care, disease signs, symptoms and management
- A large-scale national and representative study found that only 12 percent of U.S. adults have proficient health literacy
- Research indicates a connection between health literacy and health outcomes
The resolutions adopted by the ADA:
- Affirm that clear, accurate and effective communication is an essential skill for effective dental practice
- Directs the ADA to “urge the National Institutes of Health, including the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research to continue or expand its funding of health literacy research” through the NIH’s multi-institute health literacy program announcement
- Directs the Council on Access, Prevention and Interprofessional Relations (CAPIR), in cooperation with other agencies, to “prepare a five-year strategic action plan to improve the oral health literacy of the public and report to the 2009 House of Delegates.”
The library has selected a variety of resources that may be used to help your patients understand their oral health needs and conditions. These resources include handouts, videos, podcasts, websites and multi-lingual resources. See the full list here.

The March of Dimes is celebrating Prematurity Awareness throughout the month of November. The goal of this event is to draw attention to premature birth, which affects more than 530,000 babies each year in the United States.
In the first of what will be an annual Premature Birth Report Card, the nation received a D and not a single state earned an A when the March of Dimes compared actual preterm birth rates to the national Healthy People 2010 objective.
Recent studies have linked maternal periodontal disease to preterm birth. Furthermore, studies have indicated that the treatment of periodontitis in pregnant mothers can reduce the risk of preterm birth.
For additional information on premature birth and oral health, see this list of internet resources.

The 2007 National Healthcare Quality Report and National Healthcare Disparities Report indicate disparities in oral health care quality, access, and utilization for children.
Since 2003, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has produced an annual National Healthcare Quality Report and National Healthcare Disparities Report. These studies are a “report card” on the Nation’s health. Several measures featured in recent reports pertain to the oral health of children.
Key findings include:
- The percentage of children ages 2-17 with a dental visit in the past year has increased and is now over 50 percent.
- From 1999-2004, the proportion of children with untreated dental caries was higher for Blacks (24.4%) and Mexican Americans (31.2%) than for Whites (17%).
- The percentage of children with a dental visit in the past year was lower for poor, near poor, and middle income children compared with high income children
The fact sheet, with links to the full report and detailed data tables may be viewed online.

In June of 2008, the ADA’s Council on Access, Prevention and Interprofessional Relations (CAPIR) conducted a one-day Medicaid symposium at it’s headquarters in Chicago. The purpose of the symposium was to provide background information for attendees of the Access to Dental Care Summit, which is scheduled for March 2009.
The primary goal of the Symposium was to gain an understanding of the challenges in providing care to
Medicaid recipients, and discuss strategies to integrate Medicaid patients into private practice
settings. Participants included representatives from each trustee district, who had at least 1,000 Medicaid or State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) patient visits in the last calendar year.

Chocolate season has arrived! This treat helps us celebrate from Halloween through Christmas. Nonetheless, concerns about overindulging include weight gain, lower bone density,a rise in serum triglyceride levels, migraine headaches, and increased esophageal acid. On the other hand, research shows that eating chocolate may improve vascular health, blood pressure, cognitive health, blood flow, and skin health.
Chocolate may also be beneficial to the teeth!
For example, a study out of the College of Dental Sciences in Davangere, India aimed to evaluate the effect of cocoa bean husk extract on plaque accumulation and mutans streptococcus count when used as a mouth rinse by children. Results indicated a 20.9% decrease in mutans streptococci and a 49.6% decrease in plaque scores and concluded that cocoa bean husk extract is highly effective in reducing mutans streptococci and plaque when used as a mouth rinse by children.
Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry (2008):26, 2 : 67-70RK Srikanth, ND Shashikiran, VV Subba Reddy. Chocolate mouth rinse: Effect on plaque accumulation and mutans streptococci counts when used by children.
Similarly, a study out of the University of Osaka Graduate School of Dentistry in Osaka, Japan found that after four days of rinsing with a cocoa flavanol extract without other oral hygiene methods, participants had decreased bacteria and plaque on their teeth.
Matsumoto M, Tsuji M, Okuda J, Sasaki H, Nakano K, Osawa K, Shimura S, Ooshima T. European journal of oral sciences. 2004 Jun;112(3):249-52. Inhibitory effects of cacao bean husk extract on plaque formation in vitro and in vivo.
We at the library beleive in the power of chocolate, in moderation, and will do our best to keep our candy dish full – - so please stop in during the holiday season and have some chocolate for your health!

The American Dental Association, in collaboration with Crest and Oral-,B conducted a national public opinion survey on oral health care. The survey represented 1,000 Americans ages 18 and older, living in the continental United States. The survey focused on the following areas:
- The public’s perceptions of their oral health care, with a special focus on African Americans, Hispanics and lower-income Americans
- Americans’ knowledge of effective and essential oral health care habits
- Oral health habits among the nation’s youth
- The psychological benefits of a healthy smile
Key findings include:
- Eight out of ten Americans say taking care of one’s mouth, teeth and gums is “absolutely needed; however, only one-third of them say they do an “excellent” job taking care of them
- One out of four parents describe their children’s job of taking care of their oral health as fair” or “poor”
More than one in three Americans say:
- They think a little bleeding from brushing is normal (33%)
- They are unaware that periodontal disease needs to be treated and cannot be left alone (33%)
- They don’t know that poor oral health has been associated with serious health conditions such as stroke, heart disease and diabetes (37%)
The full report and related documents are available on the ADA site.

Wednesday, October 15th is the second annual Blog Action Day. This event aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters and videocasters to post about the same issue on the same day with the goal of raising awareness, triggering global discussion, and making a difference.
This year’s theme is POVERTY.
Blog Action Day calls for all bloggers to examine the issue of poverty from their own unique viewpoints and perspectives.
Poverty has long been a concern for Eastman dentistry. In 1916, George Eastman established the Rochester Dental Dispensary so that indigent children could receive preventive dental care. Today we offer a variety of services to the impoverished through our Community Dentistry and SMILEmobile programs. Moreover, we look forward to increasing access to Rochester’s underserved residents with the help of our recent HEAL NY grant award.
For more information on oral health and poverty, check out these resources:

Have you ever googled the title of an article and found you were able to get the full-text? Conversely, have you ever googled the title of an article only to find the publisher of the journal asking for your credit card?
Most likely, the free article came from an open-access journal or repository.
Not to be confused with subscription-based journals and databases, open access calls for publicly funded research to be made freely accessible online, immediately after publication.
October 14, 2008 is the first ever open access day. The celebration serves to broaden awareness and understanding of the Open Access movement.
A list of some open access publishers and publications specific to dentistry follows:
BMC Oral Health: an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis and management of disorders of the mouth, teeth and gums, as well as related molecular genetics, pathophysiology, and epidemiology.

BMC Oral Health recently published results from a study aimed at identifying systematic reviews that compared temporomandibular joint disorder surgical and non-surgical treatment. The study, conducted by Bessa-Nogueira et. al, evaluated the quality and evidence grade of these reviews.
The authors conclude that little attention has been given to systematically implementing clinical trial methodology that would improve validity and reliability of outcome measures.
The complete article may be read here.

On September 22, the Government Accountability Office released a report stating that more than 6.5 million children who are currently enrolled in Medicaid have problems with tooth decay. Furthermore, children in Medicaid remain at higher risk of dental disease compared to children with private health insurance. In fact, children in Medicaid were almost twice as likely to have untreated tooth decay.
A summary, with links to the full report, may be found here.
A list of recent articles on Medicaid and Oral Health may be found in PubMed.

The Center for Studying Health System Change recently published an issue brief exploring the oral health of low-income people. The brief identifies key barriers and attempts that are being made to provide dental services to these individuals.
The report includes sections on:
- State Medicaid and SCHIP Policy Affects Dental Access
- Significant Gaps in the Dental Safety Net
- Community Efforts to Expand Dental Services
- Implications
The authors conclude that low-income people will continue to lack access unless there is more involvement from the dental community and state and federal policy makers.

Do antibiotics before invasive dental procedures prevent infections in patients who have had arthroplasties of the hip or knee?
This was a question posed by researchers at the University of Geneva Hospital, in Geneva, Switzerland.
These authors systematically reviewed the PubMed database, for articles related to the development of infection following invasive dental procedures in patients who have had arthroplasties of the hip or knee. They hand-searched the bibliographies of relevant references and did not limit their search to clinical trials. They found 24 case reports, 3 small case series, and 34 review articles; 23 papers that prospectively assessed the rate of asymptomatic bacteremia; and no controlled studies.
The authors concluded that it is possible that prophylactic antibiotics prevent infections in patients with previous arthroplasty undergoing invasive dental procedures. However, there was no reliable data on the subject.

Health Science Libraries Subscribe to Micromedex

All URMC libraries have subscription access to Micromedex, a drug resource which contains information on some 9,000 drugs. Unlike the Physician’s Desk Reference, which is compiled by drug companies, Micromedex is written by independent reviewers.
This resource includes drug summary information, evaluations, dosage, adverse effects, theraputic uses and comparison and identification tools. Micromedex also provides educational materials that can easily be printed and given to the patient.
Recently, Micromedex introduced a module that helps pharmacists, physicians and nurses make accurate IV compatibility decisons at the point of care.
For those URMC affiliates with PDA’s, Micromedix offers a download of Thomason Clinical Xpert. This version of Micromedix covers approximately 4,000 drugs.
Access to Micromedix is available onsite, or offsite with your library account. Micromedex may be found under Quick Links on the Bibby Library website.

Found in library: students using Wikipedia
Born in 2001, Wikipedia, a web-based encyclopedia, has grown to contain over 2million articles and attracts nearly 700 million visitors per year.
Despite its heavy use, this tool has not been without controversy. This is largely due to the fact that anyone can contribute to Wikipedia and no specialized qualifications are necessary. Users may edit the content of an existing story, or write an entirely new piece. Thus, the accuracy of the information is often questioned.
Nonetheless, the creators of Wikipedia have established editing policies and standards. Anyone can dispute the content of an article, and that disputed information is then subject to removal.
Although Wikipedia may be a great site to find background information or a summary on a specific topic, and its accessibility is appealing, we encourage you to use it carefully, always considering your source. As always, feel free to contact us with any of your information needs.

Evidence of the link between periodontal disease and diabetes continues to grow, as indicated in a recent article by Robert Finn of Elsevier’s Global Medical News. Diabetes appears to induce periodontal disease or cause it to worsen in some patients, but periodontal disease seems to worsen glycemic control.
Evidence to support this conclusion stems in part from the “Scottsdale Project”. The project consisted of 18 physicians, dentists, and other independent experts who met in Scottsdale, Arizona in April 2007 to review the strength of evidence for associations among periodontitis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Participants conducted a systematic review of 118 published articles in an attempt to answer eight focused questions.
Other data comes from analyses of the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Read the full article, which contains additional resources, here.
Information on the connection between periodontits and systemic diseases was also discussed in an earlier post on this blog.

Update: The FDA has set a deadline for its reclassification of dental amalgam. See the ADA News Press Release.
Ongoing concern over the use of mercury amalgam as a dental filling centers around possible long-term health effects which may be associated with constant mercury exposure.
In 2002, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) called for a reclassification of dental amalgam and its components. A final ruling will be issued in July 2008 on the basis of empirical data and scientific evidence.
In a recent press release, the American Dental Association (ADA) stated that “dental amalgam remains a safe, affordable and durable cavity filling choice for dental patients“.
The following is a list of links to resources and research pertaining to this issue:

On March 27, 2008 the ADA conducted an evidence based dentistry (EBD) workshop to teach critical summary skills. Participants learned to write critical summaries of systematic reviews. These summaries will be a key feature of a new website focusing specifically on EBD. An additional workshop will be held in June.
The ADA has created a temporary web page as they work to develop an enhanced EBD website. This new content area features a searchable directory of systematic reviews, a glossary of terms, and additional resources on evidence-based dentistry. The project is supported with a grant from the National Library of Medicine.
Read more about the workshop here.
If you are interested in learning more about EBD or using EBD resources, please contact us.
