Design and statistical analysis of oral medicine studies: common pitfallsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In this study, we briefly review some of the most common pitfalls that our team of epidemiologists and statisticians has identified during the review of submitted or published manuscripts and research grant applications. We use practical examples from the oral medicine and dental literature to illustrate potential shortcomings in the design and analysis of research studies, and how these deficiencies may affect the results and their interpretation. A good study design is essential, because errors in the analysis can be corrected if the design was sound, but flaws in study design can lead to data that are not salvageable. W...

Conclusion: Although salivary carriage of T. denticola may be a risk indicator for CP, its pathogenicity should not be exclusively endorsed to its detection in saliva, but it might be associated with the synergistic biological interaction of the bacterium with some demographic characteristics of the susceptible host.

Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome after highly active antiretroviral therapy: a reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Oral Diseases (2009) The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in the management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) restores immune responses against pathogens and has greatly decreased mortality. However, in about 25% to 35% of patients receiving HAART, the reconstituted immune system leads to a pathological inflammatory response, commonly known as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), which causes substantial short-term morbidity or even mortality. Although we have gleaned some knowledge on IRIS in the past few years, a number of unanswered questions remain. In this review, we discuss the d...

Therefore, a regular program for dental prophylaxis is also important for the maintenance of periodontal health in patients with FPD. (Source: Oral Diseases)

Olfaction in dentistryEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Practitioners of oral medicine frequently encounter patients with complaints of taste disturbance. While some such complaints represent pathological processes specific to the gustatory system, per se, this is rarely the case. Unless taste-bud mediated qualities such as sweet, sour, bitter, salty, umami, chalky, or metallic are involved, 'taste' dysfunction inevitably reflects damage to the sense of smell. Such 'taste' sensations as chicken, chocolate, coffee, raspberry, steak sauce, pizza, and hamburger are dependent upon stimulation of the olfactory receptors via the nasopharynx during deglutition. In this paper, we brief...

Oral Diseases (2009) doi: 10.1111/j.1601-0825.2009.01615.x Many patients with osteoporosis go undiagnosed because typically no symptoms are present before a fracture. Triage screening to refer patients to appropriate medical professionals for further investigation would be useful to address the increase in the incidence of osteoporotic fractures. Dental clinics may offer a new triage screening pathway because dentists frequently take radiographs of bones in the course of dental treatment. A major premise for such triage screening in dental clinics is that dentists can readily use a screening tool in their dental practice. ...

In this study, we would like to call attention to a different application of a special group of adult stem cells, the stromal cells in the bone marrow (also called mesenchymal stem cells or MSCs). These cells have been discovered to modulate immune function. They can easily be expanded in culture and surprisingly, they also seem not to be immunogenic. Thus, they can be removed from donors, expanded, stored in freezers, and used as allogeneic transplants in a variety of diseases in everyday medicine. (Source: Oral Diseases)

The impact of orofacial clefts on quality of life and healthcare use and costsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Orofacial clefts are common birth defects that may impose a large burden on the health, quality of life, and socioeconomic well-being of affected individuals and families. They also result in significant healthcare use and costs. Understanding the impact of orofacial clefts on these outcomes is important for identifying unmet needs and developing public policies to reduce the burden of orofacial clefts at the individual, family and societal levels. This paper reviews and summarizes the main findings of recent studies that have evaluated the impact of orofacial clefts on these outcomes, with a focus on quality of life, soci...

Orofacial clefts are the most common craniofacial birth defects and one of the most common congenital malformations in humans.

Perturbations impacting on the genesis or growth of these primordia may interfere with the proper morphogenesis of facial structures, resulting in clefting of the lip, the primary or secondary palate, or a c...

Cytokines play a central role in the regulation of immunity and are often found to be deregulated in autoimmune diseases.

siRNA-mediated gene silencing in the salivary gland using in vivo microbubble-enhanced sonoporationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The results indicate that microbubble-enhanced sonoporation can yield in vivo siRNA gene silencing in the rat parotid gland. This technique could be applied to provide gene knockdown organs for functional genomic analyses and to develop siRNA-based gene therapy. (Source: Oral Diseases)
