    Abstract Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) can be difficult to treat and causes significant morbidity, but is largely preventable. Published guidelines strongly recommend dental assessment and necessary remedial treatment before such drugs are commenced. Specific guidance on who should provide or arrange this care is lacking, and it may often be delegated to the patient arranging it with their own dentist. However, numerous factors can make this difficult.
    Aims: To review published strategies for organising timely and effective dental preventive care in patients due to be prescribed MRONJ-associated drugs.
    Results: 13 studies were identified giving some detail of formal dental assessment setup. Two comprised a primary care dentist-led service, one a hospital assessment with most treatment in primary care and the remainder a hospital-based service from dental staff with or without dental specialists and input from medical and allied professionals. Follow-up varied from none to the period of drug use. Most studies reported the effectiveness of the service in reducing MRONJ incidence.
    Discussion: Details of the organisation of dental assessment/treatment are incomplete in most studies. Direct comparison is difficult. However, promising strategies to prevent MRONJ have been demonstrated.
    Conclusion: There exists a large and growing group at risk of MRONJ who have significant amounts of oral disease. However, the risk of the condition is largely preventable. Promise is shown in several methods to organise timely dental care before treatment.

    Abstract Skin cancer is common and an increasing problem in the UK. It frequently occurs on the head and neck skin. A significant proportion of the adult population in the UK visits the dentist each year, thus making dental practitioners ideally placed to identify suspicious lesions, which could be skin cancer, as part of their routine extra-oral examination. These patients can then be referred on to hospital or their GP for further management. The dentist can also give advice on risk factors and self-monitoring to patients. This paper aims to describe the risk factors, pathology, presentation and treatments for the three most common forms of skin cancer - basal and squamous cell carcinomas, and malignant melanoma, to give the dental practitioner the knowledge and confidence to examine for and identify these skin cancers.

    Abstract Background: The involvement of community pharmacists in oral health promotion is being increasingly recognised and studied. However, a large proportion of interactions in community pharmacies take place with pharmacy counter assistants rather than the pharmacist, and the role of pharmacy counter assistants in oral health promotion has received little or no attention until now.
    Aims: To clarify the current state of affairs on pharmacy counter assistants' involvement with oral health promotion.
    Design and methods: A postal-questionnaire-based survey of pharmacy counter assistants across East Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and the Doncaster area. One hundred addresses were included and 35 responses were received.
    Results: Pharmacy counter assistants are infrequently approached by the public for advice on matters of oral health and advice is not often volunteered despite a reasonable knowledge of the subject. Respondents identified a role for themselves in educating patients/customers, which they are keen to expand.
    Conclusions: The expansion of the pharmacy counter assistant's role in oral health promotion would be of value to patients/customers. This should include increased opportunistic education and a more integrated position of pharmacy within a holistic health promotion strategy.

    Abstract This work incorporates an assessment of the potential of human hair to monitor ingestion of trace elements from the environment. Included is a report of a study of Zn levels in the facial hair of one of the authors, who was dosed with ZnSO4. Daily doses increasing from 100 to 300 mg Zn were taken for 57 days. Analysis was by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. No significant increase in beard Zn was found. Cd, Pb and Cu were measured simultaneously. Studies of dosing with other elements are reviewed and a generalized pool model for the deposition of ingested trace elements in hair is presented. It is suggested that the concept of hair as a monitor of endogenous elements is a simplistic one which is better modified by the pool model, the precise form of which varies with the element under consideration.
