Biological interaction, esthetics, handling, and loss rate of temporary luting cements - a clinical single-blind randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To evaluate three temporary luting cements in terms of their restoration loss rates, biological interactions, esthetic properties, and handling characteristics.

Materials And Methods: 75 adults requiring fixed prosthodontics voluntarily participated in a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. After preparation, temporary restorations were luted with a randomly selected temporary luting cement (either Provicol QM Plus (PQP), Bifix Temp (BT), or Provicol QM Aesthetic (PQA)).

Sex hormones associated with temporomandibular pain on palpation in male adolescents-Results of the epidemiologic LIFE child study.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether the sex steroid precursor hormone dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and testosterone (TT) are associated with temporomandibular (TM) pain on palpation in male adolescents.

Methods: Out of the LIFE Child study dataset containing 1022 children and adolescents aged 10-18 years (496 males, 48.5%), we used a subsample of 273 male adolescents (mean age: 13.

The Influence of Coordinative Skills on the Oral Health of Children and Adolescents in Permanent Dentition.

Removing dental plaque by using a toothbrush is the most important measure for oral hygiene. The aim of the present study was to estimate the impact of the coordination skills of children and adolescents on their oral health (plaque level, DMF/T: decayed, missing, filled teeth). Within a prospective cohort study, 996 children (10 to 18 years) were examined.

What Counts for the Old and Oldest Old?-An Analysis of Patient Criteria for Choosing a Dentist-Part II: Personal Characteristics and Soft Skills.

Soft skills include communication skills and personality traits that are important when choosing a dentist, but other factors within the dental office also seem to be important for patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate factors that are important to people in a dentist as well as characteristics of the ideal dentist and to evaluate possible age-, gender-, and residence of living specific differences. A telephone survey with participants aged 35 years or older (ag—age group: ag 1: 35−50 years, ag 2: 70−84 years, ag 3: >85 years) in three German cities was conducted.

Material preferences for tooth-supported 3-unit fixed dental prostheses: A survey of German dentists.

Statement Of Problem: Different material options are available for fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), but valid data on the favored materials of German dentists for 3-unit FDPs are lacking. It is unclear whether preferences depend on the individual characteristics of the dentists or their dental practices.

Purpose: The purpose of this survey was to identify the preferred material selection of German dentists for the fabrication of tooth-supported 3-unit FDPs depending on the location of the abutment teeth and the individual characteristics of the dentist or the dental practice.

Cementation of Tooth-colored Restorations - A Survey among Dentists in Germany.

Purpose: To survey dentists in Germany regarding their preferred cementation regimen for fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) fabricated from various restorative materials. Materials and Methods: An online survey was developed for completion by dentists in Germany between 08/2019 and 02/2020. The questionnaire gathered information about the cementation regimen (conventional, including the acid-base cements zinc-oxide phosphate or any glass-ionomer cement; self-adhesive; adhesive; don’t know) that the participant would preferably select for the insertion of single- or multi-unit FDPs fabricated from various restorative materials.

Material selection for tooth-supported single crowns-a survey among dentists in Germany.

Objectives: This study aimed to survey dentists in Germany to identify their favored materials for the fabrication of tooth-supported single crowns (SCs) depending on the location of the abutment teeth and the preparation margin.

Materials And Methods: The survey included questions regarding demographic characteristics of dentists/their dental practice and preferred restorative materials for the fabrication of SCs for abutment teeth 16, 11, 34, and 36 with either supra- or subgingival preparation margins.

Results: Between August 2019 and February 2020, 721 dentists participated in the survey; responses from 33 dentists were excluded from data analysis because the dentists did not work in Germany or provided less than one fixed dental prosthesis/month.

Relationship between deciduous molar hypomineralisation and parameters of bone metabolism in preschool children.

Background: The aetiology of deciduous molar hypomineralisation (DMH) is still largely unknown.

Aim: The aim of the study was to elucidate the occurrence of DMH as a function of the parameters of bone metabolism, as it is suspected that abnormalities in these parameters may affect the mineralisation of teeth.

Design: In a prospective cohort study, 958 children aged 1-6 years were examined.

Influence of overweight/obesity, socioeconomic status, and oral hygiene on caries in primary dentition.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate possible influences of overweight (OW)/obesity on caries in primary dentition. Socioeconomic status (SES) and quality of oral hygiene were also considered.

Methods: In the present study, 1628 children between the ages of 6 months and 9 years were included.

[Oral health in dementia: Results of a telephone helpline].

Background: The complexity of dental care and oral hygiene for people with dementia increases with increasing numbers of residual teeth.

Aim: This study was carried out to determine whether the offer of a telephone helpline on oral health and dementia would be utilized.

Material And Methods: Over a period of 1 year contacts received by a telephone helpline manned by three oral healthcare staff were collected and analyzed.
