Community DentistryFluoride is absorbed into the bloodstream and is primarily eliminated from the body through the kidneys. The kidneys filter the blood and excrete fluoride in the urine. While small amounts of fluoride can also be excreted through saliva and sweat, the kidneys are the main route of elimination.

Dental Materials
Etching of tooth surface with 37% phosphoric acid creates microporosities in the enamel and dentin. This is the main method of adhesion of composite resin to tooth surface.
After etching the surface energy of the enamel will increase. This will make it very sticky to any kind of contaminants. If salivary contamination will occur, the salivary proteins will precipitate in the microporosities. This will prevent the adequate penetration of the bonding agent, therby reducing the micotag formation. Hence, complete isolation is essential.

General MicrobiologyProteus bacilli are known for their characteristic swarming motility on agar and a distinctive odor, which is often described as fishy or seminal. This is due to the production of ammonia and indole as metabolic byproducts.

Physiology
GIP is released from the K cells of the duodenum and jejunum in response to the presence of nutrients, particularly glucose and fat. Its primary function is to stimulate insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cells, which helps regulate postprandial blood glucose levels. It also inhibits gastric acid secretion and gastric emptying.

Phosphoric acid concentrations between 20% and 30% are commonly used for acid etching of enamel to create a roughened surface for mechanical bonding of restorative materials.

Pharmacology
Ipratropium (as ipratropium bromide, trade name Atrovent) is an anticholinergic drug administered by inhalation for the treatment of obstructive lung diseases. It acts by blocking muscarinic receptors in the lung, inhibiting bronchoconstriction and mucus secretion. It is a non-selective muscarinic antagonist, and does not diffuse into the blood, which prevents systemic side effects.
Ipratropium is a derivative of atropine[1] but is a quaternary amine and therefore does not cross the blood-brain barrier
