Oral Breeze
- Periodontitis is a dental disorder that results from progression of
gingivitis, involving inflammation and infection of the ligaments and
bones that support the teeth.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
Periodontitis occurs when inflammation or infection of the gums
(gingivitis) is untreated or treatment is delayed. Infection and
inflammation spreads from the gums (gingiva) to the ligaments and bone
that support the teeth. Loss of support causes the teeth to become loose
and eventually fall out. Periodontitis is the primary cause of tooth
loss in adults. This disorder is uncommon in childhood but increases
during adolescence. (More) |
Crest History - In the early 1940s Procter & Gamble began a
research program to find ingredients that, when added to a toothpaste,
would reduce tooth decay. At that time, Americans developed an estimated
700 million cavities a year, making dental disease one of the most
prevalent U.S. health problems. In 1950, Procter & Gamble formed a joint
research project team headed by Dr. Joseph Muhler at Indiana University
to develop and test a new toothpaste with fluoride. Eventual exciting
results from a clinical study of this toothpaste indicated that children
ages six to 16 showed an average 49% reduction in cavities, and adults
showed tooth decay reduction to almost the same degree. Following the
success of this study, Crest with Fluoristan toothpaste launched into a
number of test markets in 1955, followed by national expansion in
January, 1956. (More) |
