Introduction: Changing health behaviours is an important and difficult task.

This study aims to test the explanatory power of the dominant psychological theories, develop theory-derived intervention and evaluate its effectiveness in improving oral health of older adults.

Article Synopsis
  • Rodent models serve as a potential alternative to larger animal models for studying peri-implantitis, but their validity is debated due to unclear morphological and biochemical characteristics.
  • A systematic review assessed research on marginal bone loss (MBL) in rodents after peri-implantitis was induced using various methods, with 23 studies included after analyzing 1,014 records.
  • The meta-analysis found MBL estimates of 0.25 mm in mice and 0.26 mm in rats, highlighting pronounced circumferential bone loss associated with experimental peri-implantitis.
