Filter by:The primary aim of this cross-sectional survey in Zurich is to assess the oral health status (OHS), Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL), and the nutritional status (NS) of community-dwelling elders dependent for care. The secondary objective of this study evaluates whether the OHS, OHRQoL and NS are influenced by cognitive status, level of dependency, socio-economic status and level of education. The tertiary objective is to assess whether the quality of nutritional uptake (refrigerator content) by the community-dwelling elders dependent for care is influenced by OHS/function, level of dependency, cognitive impairment, socio-economic status or level of education and the proximity and/or access to food sources (supermarkets).
In 2019, it was reported that there were 27.9 million smart phone users and 93.7 million phone subscribers in Egypt. This means that mHealth (which is the use of mobile phones in delivering health-care and public health services) could be a major asset to delivering oral health education to the secluded rural areas or the more under privileged remote areas in the future. However, in order to employ mHealth effectively, it's essential to estimate the percentage of users who, not only have access to mobile technology, but are also willing to utilize mHealth interventions. It is also of great importance to understand the patients' preferences regarding its use. This is in order to tailor an intervention that satisfies their needs for oral health related services. Therefore the aim of this study is to determine the access of Egyptian women to mobile phones, as well as their willingness to utilize mHealth interventions for oral health promotion.
Based on the poor situation of residents in German nursing homes with regard to oral health, a cluster-randomized Trial will be carried out in Rhineland-Palatindate, Germany. Dentists investigated residents to identify dental or oral hygiene problems. In the invention group, dentists' recommendations will be reinstructed to the nursing staff by dental assistance.
The assessment of a daily oral care lozenge (PTx800) will be compared to a placebo control in a cohort of older adults who visit adult senior centers and who also have mild to moderate gingivitis. The comparison of the pre-to post change in gum health and pathogen burdens will be measured over a 6 week period. In addition, the feasibility and acceptability of using the lozenges will be assessed in this older adult population.
Oral infections can trigger the production of pro-inflammatory mediators that may be risk factors for miscarriage. The investigators investigated whether oral health care patterns that may promote or alleviate oral inflammation were associated with the history of miscarriage in Turkish women.
The purpose of this blind randomized clinical trial is to evaluate different frequencies in self-mechanical control of plaque in individuals with historic of periodontitis and in periodic and preventive maintenance in order to assess which frequencies are compatible with maintaining gingival health.
In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth should be extracted. Surgical extraction of these impacted third molars may provide special complication as pain, swelling, and trismus. In previous studies, some techniques as sutureless flap closure, modified flap designing, antibiotic usage, and injection of corticosteroids were presented. These methods are reducing post operative complications to moderate level. In this study, pain, swelling, trismus, general patients' satisfaction, and associated quality of life after the surgical removal of third mandibular impacted molars will be compared while injection of dexamethasone (8mg) does not need excessive time, effort, and equipments and it will be injected in numbness area into medial pterygoid muscle and pterygomandibular space to current corticosteroid injecting non-corticosteroid methods. To achieve this aim, 75 non pregnant participants have single impacted mandibular third molar in healthy and without pericoronitis manner, after provision of written informed consent will be entered to the study. During the study, unwilling participants to continue the study and those with abnormality of wound healing process will be excluded. The included participants will be assigned into three 25-people groups. The surgeries were done by 3 same instructed experienced oral and maxillofacial residents. After the surgery pain, swelling, trismus, general patients' satisfaction, and associated quality of life were evaluated using interview of questionnaire in 48 hour, 96 hour, and one week period of time. The comparison was done between these three groups.
Purpose/Objective of the study: The main objective of the study is to investigate oral health awareness and attitudes towards oral health among Norwegian pregnant women and assess the impact of information about oral hygiene on the risk of dental caries during pregnancy. The hypothesis of the study are: 1. The state of oral health during pregnancy depends on pregnant woman's preventive oral hygiene behaviour and practice. 2. Pregnant women with high level of oral health awareness and positive attitude towards oral health are more likely to visit their dentists regularly and have better oral hygiene compared to those with less awareness. 3. Proper information and guidance on oral hygiene care provided during pregnancy can help to improve oral bacteriological milieu and reduce the dental caries risk among pregnant women.
