Super ficializzandosi the dentin color becomes opaque and yellowish.
Who brush your teeth regularly has no stains surface of the enamel to be eliminated, should not apply the intense action produced by abrasive toothpastes bleach, let alone for long periods of time. We dentists, on the basis of precise scientific evidence, recommend the use of toothpastes with a low index of abrasiveness.
So when you purchase toothpaste should be assessed on its index of abrasiveness. The acronym that represents the RDA, which stands for Relative Dentin Abrasivity. Above 100 this value is too high, and over time can cause damage to the enamel. …read the rest of this entry»
The researchers say that the products contain carbamide peroxide as a bleaching agent are biologically reliable, leaving the enamel (observed in scanning electron microscope) with intact and smooth surfaces.
Based on these data, the Food and Drug Administration has classified carbamide peroxide as “cosmetic agent”, by limiting the requests for testing and the use of a load of products containing it. This idea of the substantial safety of this substance for dental use. Under the supervision of an experienced dentist tooth bleaching gel with a basis of carbamide peroxide is safe and effective cosmetic treatment that can improve the aesthetics of the smile.

We spoke with Dr. Roberta Lovreglio, dermatologist, head of Ambulatory Oncologico League of Dermatological Tumori in Bari
WHY THE SUN IN WINTER, A High, is a particularly insidious?
For several reasons. First Mountain ultraviolet rays penetrate more easily in epidermis because they are more powerful and abundant. The intensity of solar radiation increases with increasing altitude, while the atmospheric pressure is reduced, thereby diminishing its power filter. To make things worse then it puts the glare of snow, which should be reflected radiation strikes the skin, not only from above but also from the bottom up, a little ‘like a boat where you reflect on the UV water’s surface. The damage of the sun is then the sum of the wind and cold, making the skin more sensitive and reduces the normal barrier hydrolipidic favoring irritation or cracking which in turn increases the vulnerability to sunlight. The temperatures are particularly hard because they also have harmful effects “anesthetic” and alter the perception of heat on the skin, exposing even more dangerous to the risk of burns. So, never exposed to the sun without adequate protection. …read the rest of this entry»
The skin of the child requires a lot of attention because the stratum corneum, particularly subtle, it is not yet able to play a protective action against external agents.

The photo protection of children should be adjusted so as to reduce the impact of sunlight on the skin. The ideal solar filter must leave intact as much as possible the natural radiation of the sun, however, lowering the intensity and allowing thus a gradual adaptation of cells photo exhibition the skin. A product of sun protection for children really effective must be made taking into account the specific characteristics of the skin infantile: …read the rest of this entry»

An aging population increases the risk of disease: 23 million Italians have visual defects
The sight of men of the third millennium has changed, in the functions and wears in. Eye more stimulated, but also seen at risk of time. Also because the years of use of the visual medium has been lengthened by about one third. In Italy 11 thousand centenarians living in good health but at least with glasses. A hundred years ago, the cataract did not exist, or almost. Not because it was not known, but it does not have to come to terms with what is today the most widespread expression of the lens (the natural lens of the eye). From a culture of candles, nightlife very low rate of vision and reflexes adapted to natural movements, we moved to the artificial light, a television and computer radiating light from within, at a speed appropriate to the media also very fast and they require deep space and reflexes of fractions of a second, more time for daily use and over an increasingly long life.
And the main eye diseases that can affect vision and limit the autonomy of those affected are typically associated with aging: cataracts, glaucoma, and degenerative maculopathy. In most progress has led to the first contact lenses (glasses, goodbye!) Then the defects of refractive surgery with the laser. And problems were also from abuse news: corneas damaged by contact lenses used without precaution and correct defects badly in the first years of introduction of the laser. In Italy more than 23 million people suffer from visual defects. Wearing glasses or contact lenses. The sight of the five senses can perceive more than 83% of the information coming from the outside world. Just then, a small flaw is not just to complicate his life. It put at risk when, for example, to drive the car, do not have all the visual skills. “The eye has no problem that is defined emmetrope-Piovella says Matthew, secretary of the Italian Society ophthalmologic (Soi) -.

They are: hyperopic, myopia, astigmatism, presbyopia. …read the rest of this entry»
