This study aims determine extent this relationship Italian healthy adults 50 years age above. Materials Methods: Socioeconomic lifestyle characteristics, cardiovascular indicators, systemic indices were examined by contrasting dental adult people Northern Italy....

To evaluate the impact of herpesvirus type-1 and -2 on clinical outcomes periodontal regenerative procedures in isolated deep intrabony pockets, an experimental population with no detectable pathogens.Seventeen intraosseous defects 17 moderate-to-advanced periodontitis patients were treated therapy amelogenins. Microbiological evaluation was performed at baseline (after completion initial therapy) 1 year to exclude presence pathogens. Herpesviruses-1 DNA quantified pocket tissues associated...

This research aims to study the relationship between personality traits and periodontal clinical outcomes by taking into account level of anxiety depression, health oral hygiene behaviour patients affected with gingivitis or moderate periodontitis requiring therapy.The data 40 systemically healthy were collected at baseline 18 months later. The psychological variables, dental awareness adherence intent assessed through questionnaires, only those that exhibited a higher degree compliance...

The collection of teaching evaluation questionnaires in the traditional paper‐and‐pencil format is a costly and time‐consuming process yet it common assessment practice many university systems. web‐based data would reduce costs significantly increase efficiency overall numerous ways. Results for both types surveys are reported from two years progressive introduction survey by University Modena Reggio Emilia, Italy. In first year, faculties representing scientific humanistic fields were...

Estimating the level and distribution of tax evasion is a difficult task. One traditional, aggregate method consists comparison between income levels declared to fiscal authorities by taxpayers estimates taxable obtained processing national accounts. A more recent approach uses information derived from individual surveys instead The underlying hypothesis that some people may report their incomes truthfully survey interviewer than on an form. Even though former be underreported as well,...

It is reputed that periodontal indices remain unchanged over a 24-hour period, with great clinical significance. This preliminary study analyzes daily index changes. In 56 selected patients, full-mouth plaque score (FMPS), bleeding (FMBS), screening and recording (PSR) indices, risk assessment (PRA) were recorded at baseline three times per day (check-I: 08.30, check-II: 11.30, check-III: 14.30), after appropriate cause-related therapy. Correlation between variables was statistically...

The aim of this study was to analyse the processes through which job, career and research-related choices are determined in Italian cardiology, focusing on characteristics such as productivity, gender family.In June 1996, a questionnaire surveying individual career-related data mailed all members (8000) societies cardiology.

Immigrant prefer vocational schools shorter-term education. pattern these preferences remains constant across throughout Italy, even if Italy presents strong differences economic development its regions, with rich Northern poor Southern...

The handling of ordinal variables presents many difficulties in both the measurements phase and statistical data analysis. Many efforts have been made to overcome them. An alternative approach traditional methods used process has developed over last two decades. It is based on a fuzzy inference system presented, here, applied student evaluations teaching collected via Internet Modena, during academic year 2009/10, by questionnaire containing items with four-point Likert scale. scores...

Abstract Aim To evaluate outcomes and predictive factors for the long‐term stability of root coverage using a sub‐epithelial connective tissue graft. Materials Methods One‐hundred two healthy subjects (221 gingival recessions, GRs) were treated from 1987 to 1996. Keratinized width (KTW), GR depth (RD), (RW) area (RA) evaluated at baseline (M0) 1 month (M1), year (M2), 11 years (M3), 21 (M4) 27 (M5) after surgery. Primary consisted complete (cRC) relative dimensional changes in recession...

In the present study, clinical outcomes obtained using three different protocols of post-operative plaque control for 4 weeks after surgery were compared. Thirty healthy subjects, presenting at least one periodontal pocket requiring resective surgery, selected and randomly distributed to groups corresponding respective post-surgical protocols: (A) toothbrushes + chlorhexidine anti-discoloration system (ADS CHX); (B) (CHX); (C) only toothbrushes. The full-mouth score (FMPS), bleeding (FMBS),...
