Utility of intraoral scanner imaging for dental plaque detection
Conclusion: When employing IOS with dental plaque staining, the impact of color was minimal, suggesting that the traditional red stain remains suitable for plaque detection.

What Experts Really Think About Diet Soda
Growing up, Olivia Dreizen Howell, 39, “lived on” diet soda. So did her family. At a family reunion in 1996, everyone sported T-shirts with their shared surname in Diet Coke-can font. “We drank Diet Coke, Diet ginger ale, and Diet Sprite like water—there was no difference in our household,” she says.
Like many, Howell believed that sugar-free soda was a benign choice. But the latest research casts doubt on that assumption, linking diet drinks to mood disorders, fatty liver development, autoimmune diseases, and cancer, to name a few.

Sports Diet and Oral Health in Athletes: A Comprehensive Review
Medicina (Kaunas).2024 Feb 13;60(2):319.
doi: 10.3390/medicina60020319.
Abstract
Food and fluid supply is fundamental for optimal athletic
performance but can also be a risk factor for caries, dental erosion,
and periodontal diseases, which in turn can impair athletic performance.
Many studies have reported a high prevalence of oral diseases in elite
athletes, notably dental caries 20-84%, dental erosion 42-59%,
gingivitis 58-77%, and periodontal disease 15-41%, caused by frequent
consumption of sugars/carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fats, or deficient
protein intake. There are three possible...
