A total of 333 dentists were identified, mostly of Caucasian origin (85%) and male (86%). 228 dentists depicted dental procedures, sometimes using gloves (41%), (splash) glasses (35%), and mouth masks (24%). The depicted dental procedures mainly consist of the use of pocket probes and mirrors (46%), drilling/filling (31%), and extractions (25%). Furthermore, dentists in films are relatively often involved in negative activities such as physical violence (29%) and sexual offences (18%). In 16 films (6%), dentists murdered people. Although there is no single stereotypical portrayal of dentists in films, the overall picture seems to need improvement as it is not contributing to the reputation of the dental profession.","PeriodicalId":74255,"journal":{"name":"Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde","volume":"209 14","pages":"167-173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140780347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This PhD research aimed to gain more insight into the long-term effects on oral health of childhood cancer therapy, 15 years or more after diagnosis. This study, which is part of the Dutch Childhood Cancer Survivor Study Late Effects 2 (DCCSS LATER 2 Study), showed that oral complications such as dental developmental disorders and hyposalivation occur frequently. Most important risk factors were head and neck radiotherapy of the salivary glands, (alkylating) cytostatic agents, and age at the time of the cancer diagnosis. Dentists should be aware of childhood cancer in the medical history of their patient and of the type of therapy received. Regular dental visits are an essential part of long-term follow-up care of childhood cancer survivors.","PeriodicalId":74255,"journal":{"name":"Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde","volume":"511 ","pages":"159-162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140763957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Salivary Alpha-Amylase seems to be a protector and was a strong indicator for caries experience. In cases where children were exposed to two different dental treatments, the level of salivary cortisol- and alpha-amylase increased, in which a distinction could be made between non-invasive and invasive treatment.
