For many oral surgeries -- dentists need a tissue graft.
And now patients have a choice--whether they want to have skin taken from the roof of their mouth --which can be very painful -- or use cadaver tissue instead.
While the thought of using cadaver tissue might make you queasy -- it actually has many benefits.
[tape # 5 ]

The cadaver tissue --known as alloderm -- can cut back on recovery time --and helps the patient avoid multiple surgeries.
Doctor Barry Wolfe uses alloderm to treat patients who have receding gums.

A new product claims it can block 96 percent of the sun's rays from ever reaching your skin. [501-10, 12:20]
It's called Sun Guard. You just add it to your wash --and it gives your clothes U-V protection.
The reason: the product contains a UV protectant that acts as an invisible dye, blocking the sun's rays.
(///// SOT /////)
[SOT17:16:12]
[IN Q=Apparently it is a proven thing]
((APPARENTLY IT IS A PROVEN THING. STUDIES HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED THAT IT REALLY DOES DECREASE THE SUN PENETRATING THROUGH YOUR CLOTHES EVEN MORE THAN A TIGHTLY WOVEN SHIRT WOULD)) [RUNS12]
[OUT Q=shirt would]

The maker of Sun Guard says the product can give any piece of clothing an Ultraviolet Protection Factor equivalent to an SPF 30. [on-camera]
That's important because while sun screens do protect you from burning --they don't necessarily prevent skin from aging ... which can also lead to skin cancer. That's this week's health check. I'm Joy Sutton.))

A 19-th century Virginia law could force one woman to lose her business.
61 year-old Darlene Davis runs a day care in her home which she's shared with her boyfriend for the past 16 years.

But Davis' business license expires next month - so state licensing officials are checking to see whether she is in violation of an 1877 law that prohibits cohabitation... or living with a boyfriend or girlfriend.
If she is found to be in violation -- she may not get her license renewed.
Davis has managed to avoid the problem in previous years by listing her boyfriend as a boarder or roommate.

[OUT Q=died from cancer]

Sheriff Plaster was determined to battle and survive cancer.
It wasn't easy.
He suffered a collapse lung, an attack of the liver, hepatitis, and 6 chemotherapy sessions.
And although it made him physically weak, through it all he remained emotionally strong.

((DONNA EANES/OFFICE STAFF: JUST TO SEE HIM WALK IN HERE WAS A WONDERFUL FEELING BECAUSE WE NEVER THOUGH IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.)) [Runs 07]
[OUT Q=going to happen]

[IN Q=As far as him]
((DONNA EANES: AS FAR AS HIM HE'S NEVER CHANGED. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE GREAT PERSON. HE STILL IS.)) [Runs 06]
[OUT Q=he still is]

The Sheriff says what got him through this ordeal was his faith in God and these days he wears that faith like a badge of honor. ((SHOT OF HIS BADGE))

Some Indiana dads turned a local 'Bark Park' into a proving ground for the inaugural fetch-off.
While dads relaxed in recliners, their dogs raced to fetch a ball and bring it back. Some dogs returned balls thrown as far as 20 yards in just nine-point-three seconds.
So, what did the fastest dog get for the effort? A pet gift certificate and something every dad wants, a big screen TV just in time for Father's Day.
