RESUMO
This research examined the effects of both episodic memory and episodic future thinking (EFT) on snack food intake. In Study 1, female participants (n = 158) were asked to recall their lunch from earlier in the day, to think about the dinner they planned to have later in the day, or to think about a non-food activity before taking part in a cookie taste test. Participants who recalled their lunch or who thought about their dinner ate less than did participants who thought about non-food activities. These effects were not explained by group differences in the hedonic value of the food. Study 2 examined whether the suppression effect observed in Study 1 was driven by a general health consciousness. Female participants (n = 74) were asked to think about their past or future exercise (or a non-exercise activity), but thinking about exercise had no impact on participants' cookie consumption. Overall, both thinking about past food intake and imagining future food intake had the same suppression effect on participants' current food intake, but further research is needed to determine the underlying mechanism.

BACKGROUND: In January 2002, the Food and Drug Administration approved the Er,Cr, YSGG laser for complete endodontic therapy. CASE DESCRIPTION: The author presents a case of a 45-year-old male requiring interceptive endodontic therapy of tooth #21 for the fabrication of an overdenture. The YSGG laser was used for access, debridement, and shaping of the canal. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The YSGG laser is the first-ever approved by the FDA for complete endodontic therapy. Laser therapy may provide clinical improvements in pain control and disinfection during endodontic therapy.
