Each subject underwent an oral examination, performed by single calibrated examiner, to index and other clinical variables. Questionnaires used collect on hygiene habits, diet, smoking alcohol habits education level. A regression analysis outcome variable (no/yes) was...

Abstract Background As the world population ages, requirement for cost‐effective methods of treating chronic disease conditions increases. In terms oral health, there is a rapidly increasing number dentate elderly with high burden maintenance. Population surveys indicate that older individuals are keeping their teeth longer and higher caries risk group. Atraumatic Restorative Treatment ( ART ) could be suitable patients in nursing homes or house‐bound elderly, but very little research has...
doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2011.00579.x Impact of tooth replacement strategies on the nutritional status partially‐dentate elders Objective: To investigate impact partially dentate older patients, and, to compare two different strategies; conventional treatment using removable partial dentures and functionally orientated based shortened dental arch. Background: Amongst diet plays a key role in disease prevention, as poor diets have been linked numerous illnesses. Poor oral health loss teeth...
Abstract Objective To conduct a cost‐effectiveness analysis comparing two different tooth replacement strategies for partially dentate older patients, namely partial removable dental prostheses ( RDP ) and functionally orientated treatment based on the shortened arch concept SDA ). Methods Ninety‐two patients completed randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients were randomly allocated to groups: group group. Treatment effect was measured using impact oral health–related quality of life...
Across the European Union costs for treatment of oral disease is expected to rise €93 Billion by 2020 and be higher than those stroke dementia combined. A significant proportion these will relate provision care older people. Dental caries severity experience now a major public health issue in people periodontal disproportionately affects adults. Poor impacts on people’s quality life, their self-esteem, general diet. Oral service often unavailable or poor, as standard knowledge amongst formal...
Objective This randomised clinical trial aimed to compare the impact of two different tooth replacement strategies for partially dentate older patients namely; removable partial dentures (RPDs) and functionally orientated treatment based on shortened dental arch (SDA) concept, Oral Health-related Quality Life (OHrQOL). Methods 89 completed a trial. Patients were recruited in centres: Cork University Dental Hospital (CUDH) Geriatric Day (SFDH). 44 randomly allocated RPD group 45 SDA where...
Abstract Objective To assess the oral‐health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) in a cohort Irish older patients and explore associations with overall health status. Background The impact oral conditions on individuals’ may be influenced by patients’ general Materials Methods This paper reports cross‐sectional study, which analysed baseline data from aged over 60 years. Patients were recruited two different environments, namely Cork University Dental Hospital St. Finbarr's Hospital, to take...
To achieve consensus amongst an expert panel of prosthodontics/restorative dentistry academics on the best undergraduate teaching and assessments, to develop recommendations regarding assessment prosthodontics.Semi-structured electronic questionnaires were used collect data from senior clinical involved in prosthodontics three consecutive occasions (Delphi method). The asked experts' opinion methods curriculum. Invitation emails, with a hyperlink Round 1 questionnaire, sent 36 international...
doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2012.00665.x A preliminary report of the cost‐effectiveness tooth replacement strategies for partially dentate elders Objective: To compare conventional treatment using partial dentures with functionally orientated to replace missing teeth a randomised controlled clinical trial. Background: In many countries, including Republic Ireland, only publically funded option offered older patients is removable denture. However, evidence suggests that these prostheses are...
As described in the first paper of this two part series, expansion our older population and concomitant reduction levels edentulism will result an increase number patients presenting general practice with complex restorative challenges. The application concepts minimal intervention dentistry minimally invasive operative techniques may offer a powerful armamentarium to dentist provide ethical conservative treatment patients.When it is unavoidable, should be as practicable preserve longevity...
Ageing of the population, together with prolonged retention teeth, has brought new challenges to dentistry. Whereas in past oral care for elderly was restricted provision dentures, older patients are now presenting dental caries and failed restorations. These problems may have an impact on their general health quality life. Poor hygiene, xerostomia diet among risk factors need be addressed order achieve control disease. Carious lesions can treated conservatively many cases or surgical...
Ten million people in the UK today are aged over 65. The latest projections estimate that there will be 5 1/2 more 65 and older next 20 years. This projected pattern of population ageing have profound consequences for dentistry. Minimal intervention dentistry (MID) is a modern evidence-based approach to caries management dentate patients uses 'medical model' whereby disease controlled by 'oral physician'. offers considerable benefits conventional patients. It encourages responsible their...
