Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:06:17 +0100 Diabetes screening at the periodontal visit: patient and provider experiences with two screening approaches http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5638450&cid=s_28247_11_f&fid=28247&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1601-5037.2011.00542.x Conclusion: Periodontal patients and dental providers believe that the dental visit is an opportune site for diabetes screening and generally prefer GCB to FSB collection. HbA1c testing is well tolerated, convenient and acceptable to patients, and GCB testing reduces time and liability obstacles for dental providers to conduct diabetes screening.

Furthermore, the indicators for meaningful learning and increased self‐efficacy were high, and the students became more engaged by practising in a real situation, more aware of other health professions and reflected about tacit knowledge.

Further research is required to objectively examine whether controllable variables can be implemented as preventive strategies or interventions for MSD.

XyliMelts time‐release adhering discs for night‐time oral dryness.Abstract:Dry mouth can be caused by medication, CPAP use, radiation treatment and a variety of connective tissue diseases, with the prevalence increasing with age. In most individuals, daytime dryness is easily managed. However, except for a new product tested in this study, there is no product lasting longer than an hour that can be used at night to reduce the perception of oral dryness while sleeping.

To provide better oral health care, more knowledge needs to be made available to the pregnant women and the medical community.

Practical training in performing tobacco cessation interventions is important during the dental hygiene education; otherwise, tobacco cessation interventions will remain invisible in oral health promotion in the future.

It also illustrates that a patient’s effective OHB may play an important role in the reduction in halitosis and self‐perceived OH‐QoL. Finally, the retrospective version of the OHIP‐14‐NL may be an adequate method to assess self‐perceived OH‐QoL within a relative short period of time.

This is probably due to clot stabilization and prevention of bacterial colonization during wound healing.

A strong educator role was necessary to make improvements in the oral health delivery system.

However, there was a greater variety in the responses with the GOHAI questionnaire; it may hereby be more useful for patients with periodontal disease.

When conducting abrasivity studies, it is important to look at both the quantitative and qualitative aspect of abrasivity.

Also in the long term, piercing may be associated with gingival recession and tooth fracture. Therefore, oral and/or peri‐oral piercings are not without risks. Patients considering a piercing should be made aware of this. Those patients wearing a piercing should be screened by a dental professional for possible complications on a regular basis.

The relationships among child’s ability of mastication, dietary behaviour and physical fitness.Abstract: To investigate the relationships between the ability of mastication and physical fitness, and between the ability of mastication and dietary behaviour in children, I examined these parameters using the data of sugar elution rate, physical fitness and athletic ability survey and self‐administered questionnaire on dietary behaviour on 171 sixth grade children (88 boys and 83 girls). The sugar elution rate was the index of the ability of mastication and was evaluated by the chewing gum method. The results of self‐administered questionnaire on dietary behaviour were used as...

However, further randomized controlled trials are required to validate the use of ozone irrigation in orthodontic patients for plaque control measures.

When used as a long‐term adjunct to daily oral hygiene, the results of one study indicate that oxygenating mouthwashes reduce gingival redness.

This review provides insights into the evolution of dental hygiene education in Canada, briefly exploring the history and professional influences for diploma and baccalaureate education within the profession. The profession in Canada has yet to implement a national standardized entry‐to‐practice educational model, but the recent development of national educational competencies may prove to be a promising beginning.

Oral health-related quality of life among adults 68[ndash]77 years old in Nord-Trøndelag, Norway. Dental health has mostly been measured by dental staff disregarding patient's experiences. However, clinical conditions alone do not fully indicate how people feel affected by their oral status. The aim of this study was to investigate how clinical recorded dental health, self-rated dental health, satisfaction with dental health were related to oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) assessed by Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) in 68[ndash]77 years old.

This complication has therefore been informally linked to chlorhexidine. The present case report questions this hypothesis and suggests that parotid gland swelling may not be related to the type of mouthwash used, but may instead be a consequence of the rinsing action itself.

To achieve this, there is a need for a better collaboration between competent authorities including governments, universities and dental and dental hygienists' associations.

Patients with slight or moderate oral halitosis presented the highest correlation rate between self- and odour-judge assessment.

Orthodontic considerations for gingival health during pregnancy: a review. © 2009 The Authors. Journal compilation © 2009 Blackwell MunksgaardAbstract: Gingivitis is caused by several known systemic and local factors. Among systemic factors, the role of hormonal changes during pregnancy is well established. While presence of fixed orthodontic appliances alone may not cause gingivitis, factors such as pregnancy and poor oral hygiene combined together could precipitate acute gingival inflammation that may progress to a periodontal condition in a patient receiving orthodontic therapy. There has been an increase in the number of adult patients who are receiving orthodontic treatment. Orthodonti...

New methods and more specific immunohistochemical markers are needed to elucidate the origin of the Abrikossoff tumour.

Positive results were achieved with Perio.Kin® and Gengigel®.

Complications, if they occur, seem minor and transient in nature.
