001). After acid attack, the percentage reduction was placebo < 1100 ppm F < 1100 TMPnano < 1100 TMPmicro (p < 0.001). The toothpastes containing TMP showed the highest obliteration of dentinal tubules. The addition of TMPmicro to fluoride toothpaste produced a greater reduction in hydraulic conductance when compared with 1100 ppm F toothpaste. The increased capacity of toothpastes containing TMP to reduce hydraulic conductance indicates their potential to reduce symptoms of dentinal hypersensitivity. The increased capacity of toothpastes containing TMP to reduce hydraulic conductance indicates their potential to reduce symptoms of dentinal hypersensitivity. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to assess and compare the prevalence of MIH among 6-12-year-old school children living either in a rural area of Central Hesse (Germany) or in the city of Frankfurt on the Main (Germany). A possible association between hypomineralised second primary molars (HSPM) and MIH was investigated. Furthermore, the MIH prevalence data of the rural area were compared with those of a previous study conducted in this area in the school year 2002/2003. In the school year 2014/2015, 2103 children (6-12 years of age) were examined during the annual school-based dental examinations prescribed by law at nine schools in the rural area of Central Hesse (LDK) and five schools in the city of Frankfurt on the Main (Ffm). Eight previously calibrated dentists working for the public healthcare authorities assessed the prevalence of HSPM/MIH (EAPD criteria/severity scale by Wetzel and Reckel) and the caries experience (dmft/DMFT). The prevalence of HSPM/MIH amounted 3.2%/9.4% in LDrural-urban comparison). The presence of HSPM is of predictive value for MIH. The increasing number of hypomineralised first permanent molars over 12 years of time in the rural area indicates a need for further investigation on the aetiology of MIH. To evaluate cardiovascular response in patients on warfarin and hypertensive patients not on warfarin during dental extraction. This retrospective study included 53 patients who had undergone dental extraction while on warfarin (mean age 78.8 ± 6.3 years, 26 men) and 66 with hypertension who had undergone dental extraction but were not on warfarin (mean age 77.4 ± 6.8 years, 22 men). Vital signs were monitored in both groups during extraction. The highest systolic blood pressure (SBP) values (mean 150.1 ± 21.1 mmHg) were observed in patients on warfarin before (9.0%) and after (10.3%) administration of local anesthesia (LA), during extraction (39.7%), and during (33.3%) and after (7.7%) suturing (n = 78; p < 0.01), and in hypertensive patients not receiving warfarin (160.6 ± 24.8 mmHg) before (19.2%) and after (27.3%) administration of LA, during extraction (29.3%), and during (18.2%) and after (6.1%) suturing (n = 99; p < 0.01). The highest SBP was linearly correlated with SBP before administration of LA in patients on warfarin (highest SBP = 0.9415 × SBP before LA + 23.243, R = 0.75481) and in hypertensive patients not on warfarin (highest SBP = 1.0027 × SBP before LA + 15.789, R = 0.60341). The highest SBP was not distributed evenly between patients on warfarin and hypertensive patients not on warfarin during dental extraction and was strongly associated with SBP before LA regardless of anticoagulant status. Thorough management of SBP is required in patients on warfarin to avoid thromboembolism and major hemorrhagic complications. Knowing the SBP value before dental treatment would help predict the risk of cardiovascular complications.
