STOP THE GUMMY SMILE

 The popular gummy smile or gummy smile appears as a consequence of what we call altered passive eruption . This problem is generally recognized when the margin of the gum covering is part of the tooth, so that when the patient shows no smile the entire tooth.

As if we observe that the gummy teach or our teeth are very square , we should consult a periodontist. Although the appearance is sometimes not sufficient to detect altered passive eruption so long as the gum is inflamed and blood after performing dental hygienes, and if the dentist does not find a solution, we should also see a periodontist to assess whether there is a altered passive eruption problem.

Beyond aesthetics

Know that altered passive eruption involves not only an aesthetic but also means that the gum is supporting the tooth, but not attached to it as it only adheres to the cementum. That is, in these cases we will create a space that in the future will be colonized by bacteria , causing decay on the tooth enamel or gums inflamed and consequent destruction of the bone, known as periodontitis , or pyorrhea .

In most cases the treatment for altered passive eruption is very simple. With outpatient surgery to remove the excess gum and, in many cases, excess bone the patient can enjoy a much nicer smile and above all avoid problems in the future.

COUPLES THERAPY

One of the most requested treatments in our clinic is couples therapy , might even say that in the last 10 years is the most requested treatments, along with individual therapy breakthroughs related to couples or couples difficulties in achieving and guidelines for parents.

We believe that social change continuously moving emotions cause instabilities . Eric Fromm knew define magnificently and on "The Fear of Freedom" in 1940, and applicable to today's society: Advocacy for a world where freedom spontaneous provides independence and rationality to men and women, but also isolated. Emotional communication, by trial and error, take your mind maps paths emotional, sometimes only leads them to the starting point, although in various ways, which repeat more abrupt and steep return.

Sometimes we do not ask for help because we do not know exactly what's wrong with our relationship. When we decided to make an appointment for our therapy, it is interesting to agree with our partners at:

- What are the points we want to expose the therapist and prioritize what is generating hierarchically greatest crisis in the relationship .

- The couple has to accept each other's problems to deal with in psychotherapy.

- The first working sessions are held on specific topics, so that this will encourage the couple to follow, as it will change and improve the self-esteem among both.

Therapy

On the part of the therapist is important to identify problems and unambiguously define and clarify the problem or given crisis are the problem, not the person . Improve dialogue between partners, even when this does not exist create it is the therapeutic priority. Sometimes, if blocking communication is deeply rooted, we recommend a single previous sessions for each of the partners.By this treatment prior relationships and communication significantly improve joint therapyand emotional dialogue becomes much more fluid.

Our methodology is emotional dialogue from one's partner, to use the same language, avoiding discrepancies and "misunderstandings and suspicions" that often occur in couples therapy. The clinical experience and maturity is an added factor in these types of therapy, in which a master professional background added.

Discussions and disagreements regarding the children often invade the relationship itself and in most cases, are usually some of the main reasons, which over time have distorted relational databases of the couple, but the bond exists, the successful therapy will be safe.

A STEP IN THE FIGHT AGAINST AIDS WRITING THE DOCTORS

The AIDS vaccine now seems a little closer. Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in the United States have discovered a vaccine against AIDS healing, but so far has not been tested in humans, its success in monkeys draws a hopeful scenario for this vaccine, which is tested in humans soon.

The associate director of the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute of the University, Louis Picker, said that "with this strategy, we" teach "the body of monkeys have better prepared his defenses and fight disease." It could be a revolution in the treatment of AIDS , since as explained Picker: "always thought that infections with HIV and SIV, its equivalent in apes, are permanent and that the best one could monitor the response to the virus, but this is the first time that a research shows that one could clean virus that causes AIDS . "

This research could be a vital breakthrough for the AIDS from a chronic disease to a curable disease.Remember that over 34 million people suffer from AIDS worldwide.

The study in monkeys

The investigation of this AIDS vaccine was performed with macaque monkeys and is based on combining cytomegalovirus (CMV) with SIV. The discovery was made ​​when they found that CMV helps generate genetically modified T cells, which in turn are responsible to find and destroy cells infected by SIV .

The study was initiated with a group of monkeys that were infected with SIV, more deadly than the virus that affect humans. After two months they got the vaccine in question and three years later half of them no longer had the virus .

Now is investigate why only achieved a positive result in half of the monkeys that were infected and, of course, remains to be seen to what extent this study will help the fight against AIDS in humans. In any case is an important step against AIDS which have echoed prestigious scientific journals such asNature .
