General Medicine
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is the primary hormone that regulates calcium homeostasis in the body. It is secreted by the parathyroid glands and acts on the kidneys, bones, and intestines to maintain serum calcium levels within a narrow range. While vitamin D and calcitonin also play roles in calcium metabolism, PTH is the major player in this regulatory process.

Conservative DentistryEmery is a polishing agent that can be used to polish amalgam restorations. It is a natural abrasive material that is relatively safe for metal surfaces and does not cause significant wear on the amalgam. Garnet, silex, and alumina are also abrasive materials, but they are less commonly used for polishing amalgam due to potential issues with scratching or wearing down the restoration.

The bacteria P.gingivalis, P.denticola,
and P.forsythus are all part of the "red complex," a specific
group of periodontopathogenic bacteria strongly associated with
severe forms of periodontal disease. Aggregatibacter
actinomycetemcomitans (1) actinomycetemcomitans or A.Acetemcomitans)
is typically associated with localized aggressive periodontitis and
is part of the "green complex," not the red complex.
