Abstract Background Over the last two decades, progress in prevention and treatment of caries periodontal diseases has been translated to better oral health improved tooth retention adult population. The ageing population increasing expectations good health‐related quality life older age pose formidable challenges clinical care healthcare systems. Aims objective this workshop was critically review scientific evidence develop specific recommendations to: (i) prevent loss retain function...
Summary Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate different assessment methods a two‐colour chewing gum test for masticatory efficiency determine its validity research and clinical purposes. Materials methods: Twenty adult volunteers, eleven women nine men (mean age 27·5 years), participated in study. All participants perceived their as normal. task chew five samples 5, 10, 20, 30 50 cycles respectively. Maximum bite force measured. were assessed twice by two independent operators...
Replication of bovine papilloma virus (BPV) DNA requires two virus-encoded proteins, E1 and E2, while all other proteins are supplied by the host cell. Here, we describe isolation protein show that it is a multifunctional protein. Purified was required for in vitro replication BPV origin-containing extracts mouse cells, as reported [Yang, L., Li, R., Mohr, I. J., Clark, R. & Botchan, M. (1991) Nature (London) 353, 628-632]. In addition, cosedimented with number activities including (i)...
Abstract Objectives: Edentulous patients may be restored with conventional dentures (C/C), implant‐supported overdentures (IOD) or fixed dental prostheses (IFDP). Null‐hypotheses: chewing efficiency, maximum voluntary bite force (MBF) and masseter muscle thickness (MMT) are lower in C/IOD compared the bimaxillary IFDPs. Both groups perform better than C/C inferior to fully dentate controls. Material methods: Ethical approval was obtained. For this multicenter cross‐sectional study, 80 were...
ABSTRACT Background: The use of endosseous dental implants has become common practice for the rehabilitation edentulous patients, and a two‐implant overdenture been recommended as standard care. small‐diameter may extend treatment options reduce necessity bone augmentation. However, mechanical strength titanium is limited, so alloys with greater tensile fatigue be preferable. Purpose: This randomized, controlled, double‐blind, multicenter study investigated in split‐mouth model whether made...
The purpose of this study was (1) to investigate denture satisfaction following the conversion existing mandibular complete dentures implant overdentures (IOD) in very old edentulous patients who depend on help for activities daily living and (2) evaluate secondary end points, such as functional, structural, nutritional, patient-centered aspects. For randomized clinical trial, 2 interforaminal short implants were placed intervention group (n = 16, 85.0 ± 6.19 yrs) retain IODs; control 18,...
Chewing efficiency may be evaluated using cohesive specimen, especially in elderly or dysphagic patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate three two-coloured chewing gums for a colour-mixing ability test and validate new purpose built software (ViewGum©).Dentate participants (dentate-group) edentulous patients with mandibular two-implant overdentures (IOD-group) were recruited. First, the dentate-group chewed different types gum (gum1-gum3) 5, 10, 20, 30 50 cycles. Subsequently number...
This study compared the biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and surface roughness of a pre-polymerized polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin for CAD/CAM complete removable dental prostheses (CRDPs) traditional heat-polymerized PMMA resin. Two groups substrates [Control (RC): conventional PMMA; Test (RA): PMMA] were fabricated. Human primary osteoblasts mouse embryonic-fibroblasts cultured biocompatibility assays. Mechanical properties compared. ANOVA revealed no difference between in RA...
Background Patients with dementia have poorer oral health and fewer teeth than their peers without cognitive impairment. Objective The hypothesis of this study is that the number natural chewing efficiency are associated functioning. Methods This cross‐sectional included 29 patients diagnosed aged 75 years or older 22 controls who were either cognitively normal ( n = 19) mild impairment 3). Neuropsychological, nutritional dental assessments performed. was evaluated a two‐colour mixing test....
This is an expert opinion paper on oral health policy recommendations for older adults in Europe, with particular focus frail and care-dependent persons, that the European College of Gerodontology (ECG) Geriatric Medicine Society (EUGMS) Task Finish Group has developed. Oral often poor. Common diseases such as caries, periodontal disease, denture-related conditions, hyposalivation, pre- cancerous conditions may lead to tooth loss, pain, local systemic infection, impaired function, poor...
