Many successful dentists and doctors enjoy a wide variety of hobbies, including music. Some are avid listeners; others play instruments as amateurs or even professionals; sometimes they sing. A few are recording artists. Their interests might be classical or modern, including jazz. This paper examines the musical lives of a few general practitioners, hospital dentists and academics in the United Kingdom. Clearly striving for success in one's profession leaves room for other activities.

Review
has gone through 70 years of ups and downs, witnessing the development of periodontics in China from a faltering start to twists and turns, and finally innovative development. This article aims to review the periodontology-related papers published in the . Based on the characteristics of the times, they are summarized into five stages: staggering start, forced stagnation, vigorous development, standardized innovation, and disciplinary integration. Researches on periodontal diseases in China initially focused on learning and reference, gradually caught up with the international level, and finally created in-depth insights and innovations. Eventually, Chinese periodontology has formed a research system with Chinese characteristics and achieved substantial achievements in clinical diagnosis and treatment, basic research, periodontal medicine, and disciplinary integration. Although the current status of Chinese periodontology still lags behind that of developed countries, these representative studies demonstrate the unremitting efforts and hard work of periodontists for generations, laying a solid foundation for the innovation and development of periodontology in our country.

Observational Study
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and aspects of the clinical practice of orthodontists and periodontists, regarding lower fixed orthodontic retainers.
METHODS
The orthodontists (n=502) and periodontists (n=269) who participated in this cross-sectional observational study received, via e-mail, questions related to the type of lower fixed retainer, dental biofilm accumulation, oral hygiene, and potential periodontal changes. The data were subjected to chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, at 5% significance level.
RESULTS
Both orthodontists (72.3%) and periodontists (58.7%) reported that hygienic retainers accumulate more dental biofilm (p< 0.05), and 64.1% of orthodontists and 58.7% of periodontists considered that modified retainers may lead to periodontal changes (p< 0.05). There was no significant difference between the dental specialties, regarding the type of lower fixed retainer considered the easiest for the patient to perform hygiene (p> 0.05), whereas 48.6% of professionals chose the modified type.
CONCLUSION
The modified retainer accumulates a greater amount of dental biofilm and, in the perception of orthodontists and periodontists, it may cause periodontal changes.

Review
OBJECTIVES
Dentists in Australia are the second largest prescriber group, and are generally not formally taught how to prescribe. The objective of this review is to describe the Prescribing Competencies Framework and its relevance to dentistry.
DATA
The four-model stage of prescribing by Coombes and colleagues, and the seven competencies within the Prescribing Competencies Framework devised by the Australian National Prescribing Service MedicineWise, are discussed and applied to dentistry.
SOURCES AND STUDY SELECTION
Each of the seven competencies are analysed and detailed in the context of clinical dental practice. Competencies 1-5 describe the skillset and tasks required by dentists to safely prescribe, whereas Competencies 6 and 7 describe the clinical environment and recommended resources to support dentists to prescribe safely and effectively.
CONCLUSIONS
The Prescribing Competencies Framework provides an overview of safe and effective prescribing. Prescribing is a process, and a separate skillset to clinical dentistry. The process involves information gathering, clinical assessment, effective communication and review of the patient. Access to timely and appropriate resources and relevant electronic sources of health information for clinicians are important to provide the support required for better informed prescribing decisions. The framework describes a patient-centered prescribing process, and ultimately prescribing should be a shared decision between the dentist and the patient.
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Safe and effective prescribing is an integral part of dentistry and dentists are the second largest prescriber group. However, dentists display high rates of inappropriate and unnecessary prescribing, and to minimise errors, the Prescribing Competencies Framework has been established. This article details how the Framework applies to clinical practice dentistry.
