Does a pretreatment with a dentine hypersensitivity mouth-rinse compensate the pain caused by professional mechanical plaque removal? A single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial
ConclusionThe 1-week use of DHM failed to show a predictable effect on discomfort during PMPR overall. Around 20% of the patients showed a quantifiable benefit from both test mouth-rinses, whereas more than 50% reported a subjective pain reduction. Focusing patients undergoing supportive periodontal therapy, quantifiable effects were found for both test groups. From a patient ’s point of view, DHM might be a suitable adjunct to enhance procedural comfort, especially in patients with a history of periodontitis.Clinical relevanceThe 1-week use of the dentinal-hypersensitivity-reducing mouth-rinses prior to professional-mec...

New method offers insights into tension-sensitivity of potassium channels
(University of Fukui) Ion channel activity varies according to the mechanical stresses acting on ion channels within the cell membrane, but directly measuring such changes within a complex cell membrane is difficult. Now, researchers at the University of Fukui have developed a simplified model system that allows experimenters to measure both membrane tension and the associated variability in ion channel activity. Their experiments have already yielded evidence for hysteresis in a potassium channel's responses to membrane tension. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)
