To describe the status of implants in periodontally compromised patients who regularly receive supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) and to determine factors associated peri-implant inflammatory disease those patients.Clinical radiographic data who, after being treated included a SPT programme, wore implant prostheses for at least 6 months were recorded. The classified according criteria 6th European Workshop on Periodontology health, mucositis peri-implantitis. Logistic regression analysis...
Background : Dementia is a multi‐etiologic syndrome characterized by multiple cognitive deficits but not always the presence of impairment. Cognitive impairment associated with non‐modifiable risk factors few modifiable factors. Epidemiologic studies have shown an association between periodontitis, potentially factor, and The objective this study to determine whether clinical periodontitis diagnosis impairment/dementia after controlling for known factors, including age, sex, education level....
To evaluate the prevalence of peri-implant diseases in Spain, as well associated risk indicators.This is a cross-sectional study using network sentinel dentists, who randomly selected 10 patients with implants (placed, at least, 5 years before), which were clinically and radiographically evaluated. Case definitions established for mucositis [bleeding on probing (BOP) no bone level ≥2 mm] peri-implantitis (BOP plus mm). Potential predictor variables, univariate multivariate levels, explored...
The control of bacterial dental plaque through daily oral hygiene is essential to prevent diseases such as caries or periodontal disease, especially in at-risk populations, including the elderly with mild cognitive impairment and dementia. aim this study was determine association between different levels dementia an population their capacity maintain adequate hygiene. A case-control (elderly versus without dementia) performed Granada, Spain. Outcome variables were tooth/prosthesis-brushing...
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is gaining importance as a valuable outcome measure in oral cancer area. The aim this study was to assess the general and HRQoL oropharyngeal patients 6 or more months after treatment compare them with population free from disease. A cross-sectional carried out treated for at least post-treatment gender age group matched control group. measured 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12); (OHRQoL) evaluated using Oral Impact Profile (OHIP-14) Impacts on...
The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the prevalence presentations developmental defects enamel (DDE) in primary permanent dentitions a group healthy schoolchildren residing Granada (Spain).A total 1,414 were examined using modified DDE criteria for recording defects.The any type 40.2% dentition 52% (p<0.033). Of 31,820 teeth study, 699 (4.1%) 1,232 (8.3%) had some form DDE. Diffuse opacity most common observed teeth, demarcated teeth. Enamel hypoplasia least prevalent...
Oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL) is conceived as a multidimensional construct. Here our aim was to investigate the dimensional structure OHQoL measured by Spanish versions Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP) and Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaires applied simultaneously. We recruited consecutive sample 270 healthy workers visiting Employment Risk Prevention Centre for routine medical check-up. OHIP-14 self-completed participants but OIDP completed in face-to-face...
This study examined whether oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is associated with nutritional status in patients treated for cancer.A cross-sectional was carried out on cancer at least 6 months after treatment. OHRQoL measured using two questionnaires: Oral Impacts Daily Performances (OIDP) and Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14); malnutrition risk assessed through the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Multivariable regression models association between outcomes (OIDP OHIP-14)...
To assess the prevalence and severity of periodontal conditions among a representative sample employed adults in Spain.A national cross-sectional study was conducted during 2008-2011. Periodontal status 5130 workers, stratified by gender, age occupation, assessed based on Community Index (CPI) Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), following WHO criteria.The percentage subjects with pockets (CPI codes 3-4) 38.4%, [95% Confidence Interval (CI): 36.4-40.5] increasing significantly ≥45 years; 13.7%...
Clinical research on herbal-based dentifrice +/− mouth rinse products is very limited compared with the plethora of conventional oral care under normal hygiene conditions. The aim this study was to determine anti-inflammatory effects a novel plant Carica papaya leaf extract (CPLE) interdental bleeding in healthy subjects. In randomized, single-blind parallel-design study, eligible subjects were generally non-smokers, aged 18–26, who exhibited periodontal conditions upon entry. participants...
(1) Background: Dental treatments often cause pain and anxiety in patients. Virtual reality (VR) is a novel procedure that can provide distraction during dental procedures or prepare patients to receive such type of treatments. This meta-analysis the first gather evidence on effectiveness VR reduction (P) (DA) undergoing treatment, regardless age. (2) Methods: MEDLINE, CENTRAL, PubMed, EMBASE, Wiley Library Web Science were searched for scientific articles November 2019. The keywords used...
Objective: The present study was designed to determine, in a case‐control of Spanish population, whether periodontitis is risk factor for acute myocardial infarction. Background: Although part cardiovascular could be explained by periodontal disease, available meta‐analyses find significant heterogeneity and recommend the need further observational intervention studies. Methods: A conducted 149 patients aged between 40 75 years, with 72 cases (acute infarction) 77 controls (trauma patients)....
Little is known about the effect of discontinuation sealant or fluoride varnish. The purpose this study was to compare with varnish in prevention occlusal caries permanent first molars children over a nine-year period: 4 yrs for program evaluation plus 5 discontinuation. A clinical trial conducted on three groups six- eight-year-old schoolchildren: control group (n = 45); 37) which applied and reapplied up 36 mos; 38) re-applied 42 mos. Percent reduction studied these initially healthy...
Oral health-related quality of life can be assessed positively, by measuring satisfaction with mouth, or negatively, oral impact on the performance daily activities. The study objective was to validate two complementary indicators, i.e., OIDP (Oral Impacts Daily Performances) and Satisfaction 0-10 Scale (OSS), in qualitatively different socio-demographic samples Spanish adult population, analyse factors affecting both perspectives well-being.A cross-sectional performed, recruiting a...
