Over the years, it is close to the teeth. This study demonstrates an unusual Swedish dentists. Using a small group of dentists, they were able to track more than four decades, as the jaws contracted and how the teeth arranged with the shrinking space.

In some people this change is so strong that they noticed a marked change in their bite, Lars Bonde, Mark explains the University of Malmo. "It's good to know that this is quite normal," said the researcher. Dentists should consider this process in the treatment planning.

 

The Swedish study began in 1949. At that time, was taken in 30 young dentists and dentists a denture impression. The procedure was repeated every ten years, most recently in 1989 with at least another 18 participants. None of them had temporarily lost teeth or had been treated orthodontically. Regardless of the movement, there was – particularly in the lower jaw.

 

Over the decades, the length of the arch took a corner from the rearmost molar and incisors to the molars on the other side by up to 0.9 millimeters, the researchers estimated. By the jaw was narrow, revolved mainly the front teeth or moved forward or backward out of the ideal range.

 

The change was manifested irrespective of the presence of wisdom teeth, Bonde, Mark continues. Probably it is determined by a variety of factors. For dentists stems from the fact a real challenge, going around when it comes to dentures. "We are working against nature. Therefore, it is difficult to design something completely stable. "

 

 

For over a half years, almost every day we wake up with a new piece of bad news on – Monday will talk about the EFSF leverage, Tuesdays through contract changes. As soon lose track of lost, what actually already been decided and what is just another days notice. A similar distinction is precisely therefore essential, it highlights the achievement of important milestones and shows that we are on the right path towards a sound financial culture of the euro area countries – not least through the reform of the Stability Pact of the European Parliament and of the so-called " European semester ".

 

We may in perhaps the greatest crisis of the EU, the root causes of today's problems do not forget – there was just no way joint action of the European Union, which has caused the problems, but irresponsible policies of individual Member States. The public debt was there so out of hand, that its solvency was in question and sometimes still is. The freedom of all Member States of the euro zone to make their own national budgets was not associated with the responsibility for the stability of the single currency in line. For liberals, however, clear that freedom and responsibility go together. Therefore, in addition to the sometimes inscrutable short-term crisis management measures, especially in the foreground, making the European Union into a genuine stability. Only way to ensure that the crisis does not repeat itself!

 

It has escaped many that we are on the path to sound fiscal culture has a whole have made significant progress. Thus, the FDP in the European Parliament has played a leading role because of the stability pact finally gets teeth. Although agreement between the Chancellor and President Sarkozy different, there are thanks to our work and perseverance but now automatic sanctions, which will ensure that no household sinners escape the consequences of political agreements. The resolution states that sanctions can only be avoided if a simple majority express dissent. Individual Member States can no longer block sanctions. It's a godsend that have SPD and the Greens rather than its rejection of the package enforced – because of all the parties that have softened the Stability Pact in 2003 and Greece recorded in the euro zone will want to know from the mistakes of the past, nothing more. This is irresponsible and reveals the true motives of Socialists and Greens. Instead of opposing national debt finally decided to proceed, both prefer to bet on one cozies with deficit sinners. Since it may also surprise no one left to speak out that both parties for € bonds which mean nothing else than the unlimited liability for the debts of others. This ultimately shows: It depends on who is in Brussels and Berlin has the final say – because with a red-green federal government would have already reached Europe in the middle of a transfer union.

 

But not only the stability pact has been strengthened. With our support, the European semester was created – now the members of the euro-zone their budgets for the coming year already present in Brussels for review. If they fuse with the stability of the euro are not compatible, also face sanctions. All these are the first important steps towards a real union stability in Europe. Of course we are therefore not at the end of our efforts, but it makes one thing very clearly: if we only focus on collective and constructive action, Europe will continue to play a central role in global competition!

 

 

Two independent studies support the role of dental health for the health of heart and blood vessels

 

Orlando (USA) – Well-maintained teeth are good for overall health: If you clean your teeth at least once a year and tartar can be removed, has a significantly lower risk for heart failure and stroke than someone who never does this. Even healthy gums has a positive effect on cardiovascular health. These assumptions are confirmed now, two studies by researchers from Taiwan and from Sweden to date with the "Scientific Sessions 2011" will present in Orlando, the annual meeting of the American Heart Association.

 

"Protection against heart disease and stroke was more pronounced in participants, which could remove at least once a year the Tartar," Emily said to Yin Chen of the Taipei Veterans General Hospital. They hypothesized that a professional tooth cleaning appears to inhibit the growth of those bacteria that cause inflammation and lead to cardiovascular disease and stroke can. The doctors had analyzed health data from more than 100,000 adults over a period of approximately seven years. About half of the subjects had received at least one complete or partial removal of tartar. None had suffered at the beginning of the survey on cardiovascular diseases. It showed: Who had to clean the teeth was compared with those who had never done that, a 24 percent reduction in heart attack and a 13 percent lower risk of stroke.

 

Another study from Sweden with nearly 8,000 volunteers confirmed, moreover, that the health of the gums as some fail-over and the risk of heart attacks and strokes revealed. So had participants with fewer than 21 teeth, compared with those with the most teeth, a greater risk of heart attack by 69 percent reported by Anders Holmlund Centre for Research and Development of the County Council of Västerbotten. A higher number deepened periodontal pockets and associated infections at the base of the teeth increased the risk compared to subjects with the fewest bags by 53 percent.
