Prosthodontics practice involves contact with restorative materials, auxiliary dental materials which are broadly of different composition. The leakage and transfer of the potent allergic components from these materials is the cause of hypersensitive reactions to patients, dental professionals and the lab technicians. The biological side-effects of the materials that are in dental practice are rare. All artificial materials release substances in the oral environment which are potent allergens that might cause side effects and adverse reactions. The current study gives a statically about the dental professional knowledge and also makes the aware of toxic biological side effects of these materials, also make them aware of the reporting of the cases. A cross sectional survey was conducted among 100 dental professionals about the Toxic Biological effects associated with materials used in prosthodontics. Questionnaires with 20 close ended questions were circulated among people. Results obtained analyzed using SPSS software. In this Study, almost 80% of them were aware that some components of the dental materials might cause a hypersensitivity reaction. 57% of the participants have not experienced any allergic resin, latex, gloves etc. The prevalence of allergic reaction among Dental staff is low and most reported are due to latex, acrylate & formaldehyde. The present study shows that there is a lack of knowledge on the toxic biological effects of dental material used in prosthodontics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PEEK stands for Poly Ether Ether Ketone.. It is a semi crystalline polycyclic aromatic linear polymer. It is a white and a radiolucent material that is rigid in nature. PEEK is the latest invention in the field of dentistry. It is known that this material can prove as a substitute for the existing dental materials. It is claimed that this has better properties than other materials. PEEK has been the center of attention for a lot of scientists looking for better alternatives to the existing materials. Various researches and reviews have been carried out in detail to study this material. The role of Poly Ether Ether Ketone in dentistry by itself has been a majorly studied topic. A literature review was carried out using a systematic search strategy and articles were found using keywords. Literature was taken from databases like PubMed and Google Scholar. Articles that discussed the properties of PEEK and its applications were included. Other articles which had data regarding the structure and its advantages were also included. This review summarized the properties of Poly Ether Ether Ketone. Its structure, and other applications in different dental materials were also discussed in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Food is just fortified into nutraceuticals and functional food. Nutraceuticals or bioceutical is a pharmaceutical alternative which claims nutritional sources. Functional foods are modified food which improve health by providing benefits beyond those provided by traditional nutrients. Eating habits and trends in food production and consumption have healthy environmental and social impacts. Blood pressure effects from different nutraceutical products have been studied with the specific food rich in minerals, lipids, whole protein and amino acid. Nutraceuticals range from isolated nutrients, specific diets to genetically engineered designer food herbal products and processed food such as cereals, soup and beverages. Recent experiment has shown that it may also inhibit plaque formation by bacteria in the mouth by the basic mechanism of inhibiting biofilm formation. Plaque is the primary cause of gingivitis.When there is an increased plaque accumulation, there is also an elevation of microbial count in the saliva and biofilm. The plaque deposition around the gingival margin constituting bacteria that are anaerobic and aerobic is capable of initiating periodontal disease and destruction. Fruits and vegetables contain thousands of biologically active phytochemicals some of which likely interact in a number of ways to prevent disease and promote health. Rapid changes in diet and lifestyle may enhance the expression of the harmful genes, which manifests in a sequence. There is an emergence of chronic disease in developing countries. Both pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals compounds might be used to cure or prevent diseases. Therapeutic injections like lipotropic injection are also shown to improve the result of diet and exercise.Compounds not suspected of having any antibacterial properties such as pesticide were shown to increase the minimum inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics against a strain of staphylococcus aureus both alone and in conjunction with antibiotics where Carbapenem are often considered to have a broad spectrum of activity.

Through agriculture, industry, and everyday life, harmful chemicals have been discharged into the world's air, soil, and water. Depending on their fixations, these substances can have ruinous outcomes on environments, just as cause serious harm to people and different living beings close by. This chemical has been removed by the process of bioremediation,it is a biological mechanism of recycling wastes into another form that can be used and reused by other organisms.Nowadays, the world is confronting the issue of various natural contamination. Bioremediation has been viewed as a domain of well disposed, modest and effective methods for natural reclamation. Since microorganisms comprise a key factor of this innovation, information on the nature and molecular components of their resistance to expanded overwhelming metal fixations is essential. Microorganisms are basic for a key alternative for conquer challenges.Microorganisms survive in all places in the biosphere because their metabolic activity is astonishing; then come into existence in all over a range of environmental conditions.The nutritional capacity of microorganisms is totally changed, so it is utilized as bioremediation of natural pollutants.Bioremediation is profoundly associated with corruption, eradication, immobilization, or detoxification of chemical waste and physical hazardous materials from the including through the exhaustive and movement of microorganisms. Microorganisms are the significant players in checking such burdens and reusing components by mineralizing or parceling poisons, even in situations poor in supplements or lacking accessibility of significant electron contributors and acceptor.The aim of this review article to discuss the importance of microorganisms in bioremediation.
