Results Disappearance of pain and/or swelling, gaining chewing ability, absence of complications, post-operative appearance, and tidiness and organisation of the clinic were found to be significantly associated with patients' assessment. None of the factors related to the treating dentist were significant.Conclusions Patients may share the same perception about their treatment outcome as their dentists. Absence of symptoms, and gaining normal appearance and function are the main factors that patients consider in their evaluation.There is a strong association between tobacco use and the development of oral mucosal lesions, often with malignant potential. Nicotine is the primary component of tobacco responsible for addiction. The use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) aims to replace nicotine from cigarettes, allowing smoother transition to complete smoking cessation and greatly reducing risks of tobacco-related disease. The role of nicotine as a potential carcinogen is unknown. Use of NRT is associated with development of oral disorders, although it is rarely published. We detail the development of oral hyperkeratotic lesions directly associated with chronic overuse of nicotine replacement products. We also consider the current state of knowledge regarding development of oral lesions associated with other similar products. It is important for dental practitioners to be aware of oral effects associated with recommended nicotine replacement products, especially when offering smoking cessation advice to patients. It is vital that dental practitioners are aware of other potential risk factors for development of potentially malignant oral disorders, in order to make timely referrals of suspected lesions for appropriate investigation and review.The COVID-19 disruption to 'business as usual' presents an opportunity for a profound change in oral healthcare experience for our patients and our profession. While the prospect of change has dominated professional dialogue for years, the post-COVID-19 era offers choices with respect to pace, proximity, preparedness, protection and equity. There is potential for a determined revision of the current activity-driven clinical approach, with the adoption of the minimally invasive oral care philosophy into routine practice and use of technology to remotely support our patients. T0901317 Throughout COVID-19, the whole of the dental profession has demonstrated adaptability in redeployment and compassion in delivering care in a variety of settings. These vital traits and bold clinical leadership, prepared to make timely choices and act fast, will underpin our successful transition towards the safe resumption of routine dental services. In making the right choices, we have at hand a future integrated dental team care model with time to concentrate on personalised prevention advice, as well as the provision of effective, highly skilled treatment.The world is in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and healthcare workers as well as dentists are having to make every difficult decision about their responsibilities in caring for their patients. Compounding this is the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE), which makes patient-centred care ethically more challenging. Our first response to these ethical challenges should be to start with ourselves to make sure we are safe before we think about the patients. This is not the approach we would normally adopt when treating our patients outside of a pandemic.The terms of the United Kingdom's (UK's) departure from the European Union (EU) are currently being negotiated. It is therefore uncertain exactly what effect they will have on planning the UK's oral healthcare workforce. Nevertheless, as 16% of dentists currently registered with the Genral Dental Council (GDC) have migrated to the UK from EU countries, this factor must be taken into consideration by workforce planners. However, it is far from being the only factor. This opinion piece therefore describes the current numbers of non-UK EU dentists and DCPs registered with the GDC and poses the question 'will they remain in the UK in the future'? It then comments on the current legislation on recognition of non-UK dental qualifications. It goes on to consider the Migration Advisory Committee's recommendation for dental practitioners, the oral healthcare needs of the population of the UK, who could address them and the implications for the Advancing Dental Care project.This research aimed to investigate the effect of dried garlic powder (DGP) and dried white pepper powder (DWPP) on physicochemical and sensory properties and to develop a garlic-pepper flavoured purple rice noodle (GPFRD). The garlic-pepper powder (GPP) aroma found to be comprised of pine, garlic, onion, citrus and woody characteristic. The 78 g of DGP and 20 g of DWPP provided high sensory rating score of pepper aroma (5.9 ± 0.1) and overall aroma (5.6 ± 0.2) with a high content of beta-caryophyllene (0.101 ± 0.04 mg/g powder), limonene (0.069 ± 0.02 mg/g powder), allicin (10.48 ± 0.18 mg/g powder) and piperine (0.71 ± 0.11 mg/g powder). The cooked GPFRD mixed with garlic-pepper at 2% possessed the good quality of physical and chemical properties with sensory rating score. The GPFRD using 2% of GPP provided preference rating score in the range of 6.0-6.7 with consumer acceptance at 82.0% and purchase intention at 74.0%. Consequently, the optimum ratio of DGP and DWPP provided a better spice mix for aroma, flavour, with some bioactive compound aspects. A suitable amount of GPP can provide the preferable properties of flavoured purple rice noodles.For the last decades, forensic microbiology became an emerging complementary tool in criminalistics. Although the insect-microbe interactions regarding pathogen transmission were extensively studied, only scarce information is available on bacterial transfer from necrophagous insects to host tissues. Our data provides the first report on the occurrence of Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica and Ignatzschineria indica in Lucilia illustris Meigen, 1826 (Diptera Calliphoridae), and the quantitative dynamics of the two bacterial species along the insect life-stages and transfer to beef and pork host tissues using qPCR gyrase b specific primers. The content of both bacterial species increased along the insect life stages. W. chitiniclastica was detected in all developmental stages independent of the feeding substrate. I. indica was measurable with 102 gene copies ng-1 DNA threshold starting from the third instar larvae when feeding on beef, and from the egg stage with a 102× higher representation when using the pork substrate.
