Non-Biological and Biological Risk Indicators for Tooth Wear Outcomes in Adults.

This study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence and severity of tooth wear (TW), as well as to assess non-biological and biological risk indicators for TW outcomes in adults. A cross-sectional study, adhering to the reporting STROBE guidelines, was conducted and had a convenience sample of adults ≥18 years of age who had at least one bilateral posterior molar contact. A total of 570 participants, seeking consultation at the University Hospital in Brussels, Belgium, were allocated to three age groups: 18-34 years (n = 232), 35-54 years (n = 256), and ≥55 years old (n = 79).

Tooth wear and oral-health-related quality of life in dentate adults.

Objectives: This study estimated the extent to which tooth wear, adjusted for (oral) health risk indicators, impacts adversely on the Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of dentate adults.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted and had a convenience sample of 570 adults ≥18 years old with at least one bilateral molar occlusal contact. Participants answered a self-applied questionnaire (ICC=0.

Teaching Tooth Wear Diagnosis, Risk Assessment, and Treatment Decisions Applying Inverted Classroom Combined with Case Presentation Model.

This study explored the application of a model for teaching tooth wear diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment decisions to undergraduates at the UCLouvain, Belgium, based on an inverted classroom combined with case presentations. The aim was to explain its implementation and assess improvement in learning, engagement, and satisfaction. The hypothesis tested was that this model would enhance students' performance.

Diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment decisions for tooth wear in daily practice: a case presentation survey among Belgian dentists.

This survey assessed the use of current concepts for tooth wear diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment decisions in daily practice, and identified factors of significance for treatment decisions. A total of 104 dentists were presented with 10 cases representing varying degrees of tooth wear. The dentists were asked to answer six questions pertaining to the diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment of each case.
