Economic aspects of mandibular third molar surgery.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. The indirect costs were on average higher than the direct costs, i.e. the patient's loss of time caused higher costs than the intervention per se. Appropriate indications for mandibular third molar removal can minimize the risks of complications and individual or societal costs.

Chemical durability and microhardness of dental ceramics immersed in acidic agents.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. The acidic agents used in this study affected the microhardness and elemental dissolution of ceramics. The main elemental compositions of ceramics (silicon, aluminium and potassium) decreased after being immersed in acidic agents.

Cleft extension and risks of other birth defects in children with isolated cleft palate.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. The length of the iCP was found to influence the risk of having another birth defect as the total palatal clefts were more often combined with other birth defects compared to partial clefts. Careful medical check-ups are important for newborns with iCP since they have increased risks of other birth defects.

Oral health in children and adolescents with different socio-cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. Although almost all children and adolescents attend the prevention-oriented, free public dental service, a social gradient still exists for dental health. In addition, in all age groups, major inequalities in dental health were found when families with Danish and non-Danish backgrounds were compared. The findings indicate a need for social action by policymakers. Furthermore, a change in the oral health preventive strategy is proposed to meet the needs of children in risk of caries, and appropriate oral health-promotion programmes should be organized in collaboration with leaders from different ethnic minoriti...

Relationship between periodontitis and hepatic abnormalities in young adults.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. Elevated ALT could be a potential risk indicator for periodontitis among young males. Monitoring hepatic abnormalities to prevent periodontitis must be better understood, even in the young adult population.

Structural influence from calcium phosphate coatings and its possible effect on enhanced bone integration.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. A significantly improved healing capacity associated with CaP-coated implants is often reported, but individual importance of the several modes of surface changes introduced, deliberately or not, is usually very difficult to interpret. Several studies claim this difference to be due to altered chemistry, but in many the result may equally well be dependent on the surface topography. The few studies that have been published indicate that nanometer structures have an impact on early bone healing. However, the optimal size and distribution of nanometer-sized particles or pores applied on implant surfaces is still...

Epithelial and PGP9.5-immunoreactive cells of Malassez epithelium in the periodontal ligament of cats: a transmission electron microscopic study.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. The findings of the study suggest endocytotic capabilities of the epithelial cells and neuroendocrine functions of the IR cells. It is possible that the two different cell types react to extrinsic stimuli and interact with cells comprising the clusters and cords in the PDL. These ultrastructural evidences may imply functional heterogeneity of the ME in the PDL. PMID: 19707900 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Caries preventive effect of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP): a meta-analysis.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion. Within the limitations of this systematic review with meta-analysis, the results of the clinical in situ trials indicate a short-term remineralization effect of CPP-ACP. Additionally, the promising in vivo RCT results suggest a caries-preventing effect for long-term clinical CPP-ACP use. Further randomized control trials are needed in order to confirm these initial results in vivo. PMID: 19701818 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Immunohistochemical studies of the periodontal membrane in primary teeth.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion. In regions without resorption, spatial organization of the periodontal membrane of primary teeth was similar to that of permanent teeth, although the number and distribution of epithelial cells and fibers differed. In regions with repair of root resorption, the epithelial cells of Malassez, fibers, and innervation appeared as root surfaces without resorption.

Conclusions. Individuals with ED scored higher than a healthy reference sample in all NOT-S domains, especially in the chewing and swallowing, dryness of the mouth, and speech domains.

Inclination of the infraorbital canal studied on dry skulls expresses the maxillary growth pattern: a new contribution to the understanding of change in inclination of ectopic canines during puberty.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. The study indicates that the direction of the infraorbital canal in frontal view reflects the transversal growth of the maxilla. A wide maxilla posteriorly resulted in a small infraorbital transversal angle. These findings might explain the different inclination of ectopic canines.

Conclusion. The Swedish version of the OIDP was found useful for measuring impacts of general health and medication on OHRQoL. Dental care should pay special attention to patients with medical conditions or who are on medication, because these patients are more likely to experience oral impacts on daily performances.

Conclusions. The numbers of remaining teeth increased and the prevalence of caries decreased over the 20-year period. The incidence of caries over the follow-up period of 6 years was moderate. The results indicate that the prevalence of plaque, gingival bleeding, and a pocket depth of >/=4 mm are predictive factors for both prevalence and incidence of caries.

Analysis of masseter muscle oxygenation and mandibular movement during experimental gum chewing with different hardness.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. The results suggest that the harder texture of gum enlarges chewing motion and increases chewing velocity, with an increase in the contribution of anaerobic metabolism to energy yield in masseter muscle. Differences in the responses to gum hardness may indicate individual differences in muscle fatigue tendencies when chewing harder foods.

Response of human oral mucosa and skin to histamine provocation: laser Doppler perfusion imaging discloses differences in the nociceptive nervous system.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. Intra-oral flare could be induced by activating histamine-excitable nerve fibers. Both duration and intensity of the flare were considerably less pronounced than in the control skin site. Histamine application was not clearly associated with itch.
