The purpose of this study was to investigate swallowing function older adults with lowered hyoid bone position. A total 60 (23 males and 37 females, mean age: 70.1 years) no diagnosed dysphagia participated in the study. Participants were divided into two groups (High Low group) based on anterior point (H) respect line connecting most inferior corpus third cervical vertebra (C3) Menton (Me). Swallowing measured using Repetitive Saliva Swallow Test (RSST), Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10),...
Recently, a novel magnetic attachment with extremely low cost and high performance was developed. This article aims to introduce evaluate its basic eligibility for denture retention in clinical practice. The system used this study the direct-bonding root-keeper-type Magteeth™ MT800 (MagneDesign, Nagoya, Japan). retentive force without displacement (position 0) after horizontal positions 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 mm were measured. values relative gradually decreased 82.7 ± 16.3%, 68.8 17.1%,...
We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of photoreactive 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) in inhibiting Candida albicans biofilm formation on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and assess its mechanism need for re-application by evaluating interaction with salivary mucin durability during temperature changes.PMMA discs were used as specimens. The MPC coating was applied using spray cure technique treatment groups, whereas no control. (MT) groups further differentiated based number...
This in vitro study aimed to confirm the effect of additional features Kirei Keep Light (KKL), a commercial UV-C irradiation system that was originally created for coating surface removable dentures with photoreactive 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), on antimicrobial efficacy aspect against Candida albicans biofilm denture base material (PMMA) and SARS-CoV-2. Materials Methods: The C. evaluated through quantitative (CFU) qualitative (SEM images) analysis three groups: no...
