Filter by:The aim of the study is to describe the oral health status of patients suffering from schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders in a psychiatric institute in France.
Background: Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a condition with an increased risk of oral cancer. Due to the current changes in the factors associated with these diseases (because of human papillomavirus), it is expected that those who have no history of smoking or alcohol, young (<50 years old), and white male would be commonly affected. Those individuals require a higher need for information, preferred a more active role in decision-making, and have a longer lifespan than older individuals. There remain no detailed studies of whether the informational needs delivered to patients with OED met their needs or indeed what information such patient may wish. A few tools are available to evaluate the IN of patients with head and neck disorders. However, the items of these instruments were dedicated to a particular disease (e.g. cancer) and hence are not applicable to be used for OED. Project aims: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Oral Epithelial Dysplasia Informational Needs Questionnaire (ODIN-Q), developed and revised in the preliminary work for the proposed study, in a cohort of patients with OED. Timescale: 19 months. Clinical significance: This questionnaire can be useful in clinical practice. It could help to meet the patient's information needs and plan educational interventions for those showing unmet needs.
Autogenous bone graft has been considered the gold standard in Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) technique used for bone augmentation. However, there are disadvantages associated with autograft use such as limited amount of available bone and increased morbidity for the patient at the sampling site. Several biomaterials have been used as a replacement of the autogenous bone. Viral-inactivated bone allograft powder is an alternative that has proven efficacy and tolerance. This study aims to assess the non-inferiority of viral-inactivated allogeneic bone paste compared to a viral-inactivated cortico-cancellous allogenic bone powder in achieving the ideal bone volume.
The investigators performed a randomized controlled trial with investigator-masked design enrolling subjects with acute myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study is to find a treatment strategy to reduce the risk of recurrence of myocardial infarction through oral hygiene improvement.
It has been suggested that the best medicine should include four principles (4P) - Medicine should be personalized, predictive, preventative and participatory. Technology has provided the tools to collect data in ways not previously possible. Individuals can now collect information on their genome (including their genetic predisposition to tolerate medications and to respond to healthy lifestyle programs) that will modify their lifestyle and therapeutic choices. Beyond spot checks of vital signs and weight, individuals can now collect information on body composition, continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, and even blood sugar. Data on food consumption at a caloric, macronutrient and even micronutrient level can be collected. Standard medical histories and detailed physical examination findings and laboratory biomarkers can be correlated with this data. Collections of individual patient data will need to be managed through computer programs and smart phone applications that provide direct feedback about the influence of lifestyle on health, wellness and biomarkers. To this end, Metagenics is designing and is launching a smart phone application, Personal Lifestyle Engine (PLX), for individual use by patients and their healthcare providers. The statistical analysis of these data is the primary objective of this study.
The LIFE-HOUSE research project is designed to evaluate the impact of a personalized lifestyle intervention program on functional capacity as an approach to quantitating health, and its relationship to well understood disease risk determinants. LIFE-HOUSE will utilize an innovative Tent-Umbrella-Bucket design. Participants will gather under the Tent of an all-inclusive 'N of 1' Case Series providing a shelter of Functional Medicine interventions against the storm of chronic disease. Under this Tent are a collection of Umbrellas where participants with similar clinical challenges are evaluated as clinically defined groups with loose guidelines for the planned interventions. Finally, participants standing under these Umbrellas may step into specific Buckets that gather individuals with nearly identical clinical presentations into more formally described prescriptive randomized arms for intervention. Individuals will be offered the opportunity to participate in all Umbrellas and Buckets for which they qualify. They may accept or reject participation in any Umbrella or Bucket and yet remain eligible for participation in the overall Tent.
Total amputation therapy; is a treatment method aimed at maintaining the vitality of the radicular pulp remaining as a result of complete removal of coronal pulp tissue. In cases where pulp is exposed due to caries or trauma, the pulp is vital, bleeding can be controlled during the procedure, no periapical pathology is seen and radicular pulp is healthy. Traditionally, acute pulp pain is thought to be a symptom of irreversible pulpitis, and it is thought that there is little chance of the pulp returning to its normal situation after removal of the irritants. Root canal treatment has been accepted as the gold standard for the treatment of these symptoms. In recent studies, spontaneous or severe pain before procedure has not always indicated that pulp has no repair capacity, and deep carious lesions are not necessarily associated with irreversible pulpal pathology. Histological studies showed that even when caries reach the pulp or degeneration and inflammation were seen in it, there was a healthy section still present in the pulp. Therefore, it is stated that the healthy pulp remaining as a result of total amputation performed by removal of degenerated pulp can be preserved. Furthermore, it is stated that for the healing potential of the remaining pulp tissue, the original signal should be that the bleeding can be controlled after the amputation of the infected pulp tissue. While the most popular method in the treatment of vital pulp is CaOH, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry has been reported to be more resistant to dissolution in the protocol in recent years. MTA is a more suitable material because it is more homogeneous, and forms a thicker dentin bridge. However, the MTA requires a long time to harden, it is difficult to manipulate and color. In recent years, researchers have focused on creating new MTA formulations to improve their physicochemical properties without affecting their biocompatibility and bioactivity. NeoMTA Plus is a new fine powder tricalcium silicate. It consists of a water-based gel and powder mixture and the powder-gel mixing ratio may vary depending on the area of use. It is a material similar to MTA Plus. However, in order to avoid tooth discoloration, tantalium oxide used instead of the bismuth oxide and required calcium hydroxide used to induce the formation of mineralized tissue.
Immediate implant placement with no graft , autogenous graft or xenograft with provisionalization.
Application of deep touch pressure (DTP) has been suggested to provide positive effects on anxiety modulation. However, empirical and theoretical evidence linked to the clinical effects of DTP is relatively rare in the behavioral and physiological aspects. The aim of this intervention trial study designs to investigate the effect of DTP in dental treatment by quantitative analysis of behavioral assessments and physiological measurements, including the electrodermal activity and heart rate variability, were conducted to understand the modulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the orchestration of sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic (PsNS) nervous systems.
Diseases of the heart and blood vessels, including raised blood pressure, are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Higher intakes of dietary nitrate, found abundantly in root vegetables such as beetroot, have been shown to have health benefits including lowering blood pressure and improving the elasticity of blood vessels. Bacteria which reside in the mouth and those in the gastrointestinal tract play an important role in converting dietary nitrate to nitrite and nitric oxide (a chemical which promotes the relaxation of blood vessels). In particular, removal of oral bacteria by using antiseptic mouthwash is accompanied by an increase in blood pressure in subjects with normal blood pressure, even after consuming nitrate-rich foods. To date, very little is known about the role of these oral bacteria in the control of blood pressure, and if there are any differences in bacterial composition between individuals.
