Aim Previous studies on the association between intraoral conditions and mortality in community‐dwelling older individuals reported that fewer present teeth (PT) are significant risk factors for mortality. However, how number of PT relative to functional (FT), including both rehabilitated teeth, influences has not been investigated fully. This study examined impact FT among Japanese adults. Methods was a retrospective, observational population‐based follow‐up study, which 1188 who...
To examine the relationship between number of present and functional teeth at baseline future incidence loss independence.Participants were community-dwelling older individuals who participated in a comprehensive geriatric health examination conducted Kusatsu town, Japan, 2009 2015. The primary endpoint was independence among participants, defined as first certification long-term care insurance Japan. numbers determined via an oral examination. Demographics, clinical variables (e.g., history...
Maintenance and improvement of masticatory function in nursing care elderly persons (NC) is an important issue, it speculated that sarcopenia related to declining function.The decrease skeletal muscle index (SMI), a major diagnostic criterion for sarcopenia, has been reported be associated with swallowing NC.However, the relationship between SMI unknown.Therefore, we investigated masseter thickness(MMT)and SMI, aim examining specific decreased NC.MMT were measured by ultrasonography...
The relation between occlusal force and general motor ability induced by lower-limb musculature is unclear. To identify indicators of oral muscle weakness, this study examined the masticatory strength lower limb in 742 community-dwelling elderly adults (315 men 427 women, mean age 73.3 ± 5.5 years) living Itabashi ward, Tokyo. Multiple regression analysis knee extension torque, to sex, showed a significant correlation two variables (r = 0.348, P < 0.001), which indicates that determinant...
To fabricate optimum prostheses, the quality of working model, especially surface is critical. When impression taken by laminate alginate impression, property model crucial since itʼs amount water increases than that standard W/P ratios. This study examined quantitatively and qualitatively to identify their thickness secondary laminated impression. The was set 0.4mm (A0.4), 0.6mm (A0.6), 0.8mm (A0.8). roughness A0.4, A0.6, A0.8 andcontrol assessed scanning laser microscope, measuring Ra, Ry,...
