Five years of sleep apnea treatment with a mandibular advancement device.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Five-year oral appliance treatment does not affect TMD prevalence but is associated with permanent occlusal changes in most sleep apnea patients during the first 2 years. Patients seek several unscheduled visits, mainly because of technical complications.

Fixed orthodontic appliance therapy and its impact on oral health-related quality of life in chinese patients.Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Fixed orthodontic appliance therapy did affect Chinese patients' OHRQoL. Patients were considerably compromised in terms of their overall OHRQoL until approximately 1 month after insertion. The severity of the compromised condition in terms of overall OHRQoL was greatest at 1 week with the reported impact on physical pain, psychological discomfort, and physical disability. Patients' OHRQoL was better after they completed the orthodontic treatment than before or during treatment.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The growth interval corresponding to the pubertal growth spurt (CS3-CS4) was longer in Class III subjects than in subjects with normal skeletal relationships; the larger increases in mandibular length during the pubertal peak reported in the literature for Class III subjects may be related to the longer duration of the pubertal peak.

Resistance to immediate orthodontic loading of surface-treated mini-implants.Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The hypothesis was supported. Both SAE mini-implants and machined mini-implants can be loaded immediately and experience similar success rates. RTVs were higher for the SAE mini-implants than for the machined mini-implants. The latter finding suggests that, for immediate loading, SAE mini-implants may provide more stable retention than machined mini-implants.

Conclusions: There were statistically significant differences in the failure loads of elastomerics that had not be placed in the mouth and those that had been in the mouth for 6 weeks. There were no differences in the static frictional forces produced by conventional and Super Slick ligatures either before or after they had been placed in the mouth. There appears to be a direct proportional relationship between failure load and static friction of elastomeric ligatures.

Conclusions: The hypothesis is rejected. Light Bond yielded significantly higher pullout values compared with the flowables Filtek Supreme and FlowTain. However, flowable composites provided satisfactory SBS and wire pullout values, comparable to a standard orthodontic resin, and therefore can be used as an alternative for direct bonding of lingual retainers.

Summary The aim of the study was to explore partially edentulous patients' reasons for choosing or refusing prosthodontic treatment with removable partial dentures (RPD), fixed partial dentures (FPD) and implant partial dentures (IPD). Clinical and oral health-related quality of life measures were collected from 165 partially edentulous patients undergoing treatment. Patients' preferences were recorded and reasons for choosing or refusing treatments were measured with 32 questions using a five-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics, chi-square and multiple logistic regression were used to compare patients' preferences ...

Summary The purpose of this study was to clarify whether the reverse cycle during chewing is abnormal in children with primary dentition. Children with normal primary dentition (N = 23; 5·5 ± 0·8 years) and female adults (N = 25; 20·7 ± 1·9 years) participated in this study. Chewing movement was recorded using an opto-electronic analysis system with six degrees-of-freedom (TRI-MET, Tokyo-shizaisha; Tokyo, Japan). Each subject was given a stick of chewing gum (new TRIDENT, WARNER-LAMBERT CO., Morris Plains, NJ, USA) and instructed to chew it normally. Starting from the maximum intercuspal position, each chewing sequen...

Tracheoesophageal (TE) speech using a voice prosthesis and hands-free speaking valve with an intraluminal attachment is the gold standard for voice restoration after total laryngectomy. Modification of a standard self-retaining silicone cannula or laryngectomy button often aids in the attachment of a speaking valve within the tracheal lumen for hands-free TE speech production. An increased number of laryngectomized individuals are able to achieve hands-free TE speech when the standard length, flange, and diameter of a silicone button is customized to accommodate individual tracheostomal contours.

Discuss or comment on this article.
It has been reported that approximately one third of repairs of removable prostheses are related to the debonding or fracture of denture teeth. Most detachments occur in the anterior areas and may result from localized stress concentration. When repairing a debonded or fractured tooth, the occlusal relationship must be carefully evaluated to prevent heavy occlusal/excursive contacts on the repaired tooth. If a debonded tooth is intact and can be placed back in the denture, an index can be made to position the tooth for repair. Other techniques, such as arranging a tooth and securing it with a wax or stone index for repair,...
