Dental Update stands out as the top peer-reviewed clinical journal designed for general dental practitioners (GDPs). It provides GDPs with practical solutions to everyday challenges they encounter in their practice, while keeping them updated on the latest advancements and clinical techniques. This journal is not only popular among general and specialist dentists, but it is also increasingly read by dental students, hygienists, and hospital dentists, both in the UK and internationally. With a significant online readership, Dental Update aims to serve as a valuable resource for ongoing education and practical guidance. Each article published in the journal undergoes a thorough peer review process, usually by members of the Editorial Board or other experts in the relevant field of dentistry.

2 months ago | dental-update.co.uk | Sara Chapman |Mina Vaidyanathan |Bethan Thomas |Laura CU Ota

Dec 1, 2024 | dental-update.co.uk | Robert Smith |Christopher Stagles |Graeme Bryce

The dentition may incur injury, acutely via dental trauma, or chronically via the progression (or treatment) of diseases that include: dental caries, tooth wear (TW) and periodontitis.

Case report: non-surgical regeneration with adjunctive enamel matrix derivative - Dental Update

Nov 1, 2024 | dental-update.co.uk | Devan Raindi |Paul Weston |Iain Chapple

The ultimate goal of treating periodontitis is not only to resolve the inflammatory lesion and thus prevent progressive attachment loss, but also to regenerate all lost periodontal tissues, i.e. alveolar bone with periodontal ligament inserting into cementum. Traditionally, procedures aimed at regenerating lost periodontal tissues require a surgical approach to access the specific bony defect in question.

Amalgam, trams and Northern Ireland - Dental Update

Nov 1, 2024 | dental-update.co.uk | FJ Trevor Burke

Article Oh no, readers say, more of Burke's incomprehensible rubbish, just when they thought that they had been given an Editorial Director who could write sense! In that regard, even the most erudite readers of the UK's best-selling subscription journal, Dental Update, may not appreciate the thread running between the items in the title! On the other hand, older readers may (or probably may not!) recall, in 2004, the year in which the Hong Kong tram system, which runs from one end of the...
Dental Update - Who's to blame?

Oct 1, 2024 | dental-update.co.uk | Ewen McColl

Article We live in an ever increasing ‘blame culture’, which manifests in wider society and ever increasingly in the field of clinical dentistry. While patients may look to blame clinicians when things go wrong, increasingly clinicians look to blame each other. These ‘blue on blue’ disputes may be over not just clinical matters, but business and contractual disputes.
Dental Update - Dis-Integration

Sep 1, 2024 | dental-update.co.uk | Ewen McColl

Article I am often asked by undergraduates, what has been the biggest change in clinical dentistry since I qualified over 30 years ago. While there have been many, perhaps the increasing use of osseo-integrated implants during this time has been transformative for many patients and clinicians alike. While an essay on replacing missing teeth 30 years ago would have focused on dentures and destructive fixed bridges, the increasing use of osseo-integrated implants has transformed dentistry.
An apically positioned flap and free gingival graft around an implant - Dental Update

Jul 1, 2024 | dental-update.co.uk | Matthew Morris |Debora Matthews |Richard Price

Following the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions, peri-implant health, disease, conditions and deformities were reviewed.1 It has been reported that following tooth loss, hard and soft tissue deficiencies occur as result of normal healing of the alveolar ridge/process.2 This can compromise the aesthetics and long-term survival of implants, especially as maintenance is compromised.
A comprehensive guide to removable partial dentures. Part 1: patient selection, design principles and decision algorithms for component selection - Dental Update

Jul 1, 2024 | dental-update.co.uk | Prashanti Eachempati |Guy Lambourn |Himanshi Agarwal |Ewen McColl

Article Conventional removable partial dentures continue to be a viable treatment option, even in the current dental scenario dominated by dental implants. This choice is influenced by factors such as patient-related systemic considerations, intra-oral factors, or cost constraints that may deter patients from choosing implants or other fixed alternatives.
End of the Road for Dental Amalgam?

Jan 21, 2024 | dental-update.co.uk | Ewen McColl |FJ Trevor Burke

Article Readers will be aware of the Minamata Agreement, signed in 2013, in which 147 countries around the world agreed to minimize mercury use in a wide variety of fields, such as, lighting, fertilizers, and, of course, dental amalgam. This resulted in a ban, from 1 July 2018, on the use of amalgam in pregnant women and children under the age of 15 years.
