"I work with people who arent generally in the loop about whats happening outside the 4 walls of the practice in dentistry. This forum has proved invaluable as a source of keeping up to date, and I often find now that when I get the Dental journals I already know a lot of the news ! Ive got clinical support, social support, personal support from here."

I`ve just had a `phone call from a company conducting a survey on behalf of the BDA. The survey was particularly interested in my use of the internet and what way I get my "dentistry intelligence" (new ideas, training ideas etc). When asked about the "most important source of dental information" I gave GDPUK as my answer; to be honest, I didn`t expect the response from the lady that I got: "Oh I hear that so much".

This Cochrane review of the effectiveness of lasers in the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity included 23 RCTs. The findings suggest that lasers may reduce pain intensity at short, medium, or long term when compared to placebo/no treatment. However the evidence is limited and of low to very low certainty.
