Do you want to see Journal of Periodontology (JOP) manuscripts come to life? That option is now available through supplementary videos in the online Journal. Visit the online Journal Web site to view our first video by Dr. Dan Holtzclaw, based on the case report “Alternative Anesthetic Technique for Maxillary Periodontal Surgery,” published in the September 2008 issue.
Select authors will be invited to produce 3- to 5- minute videos to supplement material published in their peer-reviewed manuscripts. Videos will be linked to the published paper and can be viewed by selecting the hyperlink “supplementary material” located under the article title in the online Table of Contents. Manuscripts featuring a video will be indicated by an icon within the Table of Contents.
Visit joponline.org often to see exciting new additions! Launching soon: supplementary PowerPoint presentations with audio.
You can also access the video through the Library Catalog by looking up Journal of Periodontology and displaying the full text of the journal.

In Chicago you can find a statue that will interest you dental librarians with a taste for history. Inventor of the foot-powered dental drill, and the first to use nitrous oxide in dental anesthesia, Dr. Greene Black holds office hours in Lincoln Park now.
Presented in time for Children’s Dental Health Month, the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center (OHRC) released a new edition of its knowledge path about oral health and pregnant women, infants, children, and adolescents.
This electronic resource guide points to resources that analyze data, describe programs, and report on policy and research aimed at improving access to and the quality of oral health care. Separate sections identify resources on specific aspects of oral health including child care and Head Start, dental sealants, early childhood caries, fluoride varnish, K-12 education, pregnancy, and school-based care. A separate section lists oral health resources for consumers. This was produced in collaboration with the Maternal and Child Health Library at Georgetown University.
The knowledge path is available at http://www.mchlibrary.info/KnowledgePaths/kp_oralhealth.html
Other topics are also available: http://mchlibrary.info/KnowledgePaths/index.html.
February is Children’s Dental Health Month.
In recognition of this annual event, Julie Schiavo, Reference Librarian at the LSUHSC Dental School, and the Pediatric Dentistry Department worked together to create a brochure on good dental habits for children. The pediatric dentistry department will be distributing this to their patients and it will also be going to the school nurses in the New Orleans Recovery School district.
