Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Sami: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am currently doing your 21 day detox. I am loving every second of it. For one of my meals I decided to have red beats as my carb/veggie. I had this for two dinner meals in a row and noticed the redness in my stool showed up the next morning after my second meal and then 48 hours after my second meal. I read online that eating red beats can help display gut transit time. I know red beats normally turn your stool a red/pink color in general. Are red beats a good natural/home remedy to decide gut transit time? Or would something like the blue poop test work best? Larissa: Hello! My patient recently tested positive for EBV VCA IgM antibodies with positive EBV IgG antibodies but negative early EBV antigen and EBNA levels. She is experiencing fatigue. Would you consider this an acute or reactivated infection? Could it be a false positive? Would you treat this? Thank you in advance! Katrina: As I explore your protocol options and tests, how would having gastric bypass, 22 years ago affect the results to achieve optimal health. Will the products be effective due to potential absorption issues? Ateba: Hello Dr.Cabral, I've had some bony growth behind my teeth over the last decade. I believe it's called Mandibular Tori. It seems to have grown quite a bit the last few years. My dentist says it's from jaw clenching, which I had during sleep for quite some time, but I've also heard other things (nutrition deficiencies/toxicity's etc). Don't have parasites according to my stool test, just excessive stress. Wondering if you have any recommendations for this condition. God Bless. Lisa: Hi Dr Cabral! I listen to you daily, thank you for your knowledge and swear by your functional detox a few times a year! I have been waking up recently (about the last year now) with a mouth full of saliva and I'm forced to get up to spit. I sleep really well - straight through the night, yet this is a bit concerning to me. Any ideas?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Dionna: Hi, Dr. Cabral. After completing the Big 5, my coach advised that I was absent of Vitamin B's, I needed Balanced Zinc, Magnesium, Omega 3's, 5,000 iu's of Vitamin D, and a Thyroid Support (for 3 months). I am currently using the DNS each morning & it was my understanding that would cover my B's and Zinc. I get the DNS and all the remaining necessary supplements on a monthly subscription with Equilife, plus Digestive Enzymes. Because I need two jars of the DNS to get through a month, I'm wondering what benefits I lose if I switch to the Daily Activated Multi-Vitamin. Do you recommend one over the other, or are they the same? Also, do I really need a Collagen supplement if I'm using either one of those products? As always, I appreciate you so much and all that you do! Dionna Jennifer: Hi Dr Cabral! I've listened to all your podcasts on UTI and am wondering what your thoughts are on UTIs in relation to hormones? Could low estrogen be a cause of recurring UTI. I'm asking especially since d mannose, GSE and Vitamin C seem to not be working? I had 9 UTIs in 2022 and then zero for an entire 9 month stretch during pregnancy. Wondering what can be done if indeed it's a hormone issue. I had my levels tested pre-pregnancy through equilife and my progesterone was low, but estrogen seemed fine. I've had UTI issues ever since I can remember. But only in recent years has it gotten this frequent! Any insight helps!!Thank you!! Nathalie: I allowed for moderate v**c of my first three children. Other than your heavy metal detox protocol, what other protocols do you recommend for me to give them so I can offset any potential future effects they will have from having been v**c as toddlers? Thank you Lynda: Hi Dr Cabral, As you are a fountain of knowledge on all subjects, I was wondering if you have any thoughts on the possibility of reversing mandibular tori. I was recently told I have them at a dentist appointment, and now I'm obsessed with getting rid of them as I suspect they have made my teeth progressively crooked. Do you think proteolytic enzymes could reduce them? Any other thoughts? You're the best. :) Abby: Hi Dr. Cabral, I workout in the morning before my 12 hr fast is up. Since working out raises my blood sugar, am I technically breaking my fast? And If so, is holding off on eating until the 12 hr mark still benefiting me if my fast is broken with raised blood sugar? Also am I preserving muscle in a fasted state?

Join me for a summary of direct to print aligners. This lecture explores the application of a relatively new resin material which can be used for aligner fabrication, without the need of a 3D printed model. The lecture was given by Simon Graf who expertly compared the differences between conventional and direct to print aligners, as well as the clinical application of specific features of direct to print aligners. Limitations of current aligner material: 1. Only small undercuts 2. Limited aligner thickness to sheet thickness / no selective thickness 3. During the manufacturing process material can get thinner or thicker depending on heat distribution and stretch, 54% change in thickness of the aligner Lee 2022 4. Plastic and resin waste, (122 million aligners and models in 2022 Slaymaker 2024) Advantages of direct to print aligners · Select thickness, 0.5-0.7mm, conventional aligners 0.75mm+ · Gingival margin · Dentist in charge of design, not company Manufacturing steps of Direct to Print aligners (Tera Harz ‘Graphy') 1. 3D printing of resin aligner 2. Centrifuge: Spin remove excess resin 3. UV Light cure in Nitrogen chamber 4. Washed twice, hot distilled water Characteristics of Direct to print aligners · Greater accuracy: (Zendura, Essix Ace and DTP were compared and DTP were 20-30% more accurate Koenig 2022) · Less with DTP (Hertan 2022) o DTP 50% less still (2.59 Vs 5.26 N) o DTP Less force as strain increases Shape memory effect · DTP Polymer chains crosslinked, not case in conventional aligners o The shape recovers in DTP when strain is removed, which does not occur to the same degree in conventional aligners Lee 2022 o Accelerated by placing in water Unknowns · How effective shape memory is remains unclear · Cytotoxicity – not enough data, although manufacturer protocols, lack of studies · Changing thickness, unclear how much of a difference in force it makes Clinical points Teeth extrusion Lateral incisors · Difficult to do with conventional aligners, · Create ‘wedging' gingival pressure columns to squeeze the teeth to cause an extrusive force. Elastic Hooks without loss of force delivery on single tooth · Hook printed into aligner with DTP, instead of cut out which alters the force of the aligner instantly, maintain tooth control · Tip aligners and elastics: Still add attachment to tooth to prevent aligner displacing Mandibular advancement · Problem of mandibular advancement with aligners o Wings soft and not maintaining the AP position o Hard block many breakages · DTP choice of thickness of block Bite ramps Conventional bite ramps: limited length and often too short DTP no limit to size and thickness, and can be designed to not contact upper palatal surfaces, maintaining full tooth control In the Transverse o Palatal coverage can be added as feature, similar to a TPA o Still being researched how much force can be delivered with palatal coverage Concluding statement Enjoy the variability of direct printed aligners.

Join me for a summary looking at gingival recession in orthodontics, and whether it is detrimental or beneficial. This lecture was given by James Andrews, he explored the effect of orthodontics on the periodontium, an area under increasing interest within aesthetics to achieve the ideal ‘pink aesthetics' with the increasing adult population receiving orthodontic treatment. His lecture was based on, is orthodontics good or bad for the gingiva? What is the starting point ? Increase in adult orthodontics from 1970 by 800% 50% of adults have some element of periodontal disease Untreated adult population 51% dehiscence 37% areas of fenestration Evangelista 2010 Facial type and bone morphology Tunis 2021 Dolichocephalic = narrow alveolus and elongated to compensate for vertical growth Brachycephalic = larger alveolus Dolichocephalic - Red flag patients Tooth movement: What happens when teeth move buccally? facial tooth movement Wennström 1996 Reduced bucco lingual width Therefore, reduced free gingiva Increased risk only if tooth is moved out of the alveolar housing What type of movement Tipping (uncontrolled) increase likelihood of recession Condo 2017 Proclination causes recession, but inconclusive Thickness more relevant than final inclination Yared 2006 How to decide what to do? WALA line – Will Andrews Larry Andrews ridge Andrews 2000 Limit of labial bone – shape is coincident with the mucogingival junction, coincident with centre of resistance Upper incisors – located anterior 1/3 of alveolus Mandibular incisors – cantered within the alveolus Gingival recession did not increase in treatment orthodontic population with segmental mechanics Melsen 2005 Aligners any different? Association between non-extraction clear aligner therapy and alveolar bone deficiency and fenestration Presence of both fenestration and dehiscence What do we do to correct extra-alveolar teeth? If teeth pushed outside of cortical plate then retracted, what happens Monkey – moved teeth outside of bone for 8 months, then reposition within bone with appliances = repair bony dehiscence and fenestration Morten Laursen and Melsen 12 consecutive patients 2020 Teeth moved towards the centre of the cortical plate = improvement in gingival height of depth decrease of 23%, the width with 38% Intrusion Use of intrusion arch increases the thickness of the periodontal fibres 0.7 to 2.3 mm Melsen 1988 Gingival graft when to move teeth Free gingival graft – 6 weeks Connective tissue graft – 12 weeks “Diagnose and treat each tooth no miracles shortcuts for good orthodontics” Peck 2017
In the past 12 to 18 months, there has been an abundance of dental surgery innovations that are bound to be the new base of learning and understanding to carry us forward. One such case is the innovation in dental implant placement on mandibular fibula reconstruction.

Contributor: Travis Barlock MD Educational Pearls: When might you need to apply a painful stimulus in a medical setting? The main reason is to assess the patient's level of consciousness, such as when they are waking up from anesthesia or have potentially suffered a brain injury. It can be part of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) if patients are not responding to auditory stimuli. Possible levels of consciousness include Alert, Lethargic, Obtunded, and Comatose (ALOC) What are the approved ways to apply a painful stimulus to assess central nervous system function? Trapezius squeeze. Grab the trapezius muscle and twist (contraindicated in clavicle fractures). Supraorbital rim pressure. Find the notch in the supraorbital rim of the patient and push hard with your thumb (contraindicated in facial fractures). Mandibular pressure (not mentioned). Press hard at the angle of the jaw on the mandibular nerve (contraindicated in mandible fractures). Sternal rub. Push down with your knuckles into the patient's sternum and rub vigorously (contraindicated in chest injury/surgery). Each technique should be done for between 15 and 30 seconds. If skin damage is observed in one location, move to a different location. This is especially true of the sternal rub. Important note: Peripheral techniques such as nail tip pressure should only be used to evaluate spinal nerve reflexes and not as a method of assessing the level of consciousness. References Lower J.

This episode will cover the class traits, arch trait, and specific tooth type traits associated with the permanent mandibular molars. Emphasis will be placed on unique features that clinicians can use to identify specific tooth types in the clinical setting. We will review tooth morphology that relates to periodontal and caries risk associated with these teeth. This information should be well understood when applying instrumentation techniques in the clinical setting. Major character traits and clinical considerations will be reviewed.
