Oral and periodontal assessment at the first trimester of pregnancy: The PERISCOPE longitudinal study.

Introduction: Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are chronic non-communicable inflammatory diseases. The risk of developing gingivitis and periodontitis increases during pregnancy. Also, periodontitis increases the risk of developing adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth and preeclampsia.

Factors and Mechanisms Involved in Acquired Developmental Defects of Enamel: A Scoping Review.

Background: Developmental Defects of Enamel (DDE) is a pathology of the teeth that can greatly alter the quality of life of patients (hypersensitivity, esthetic issues, loss of function, etc.). The acquired DDE may occur as a result of a wide range of acquired etiological factors and his prevalence of this pathology may reach up to 89.

Changes in tooth brushing frequency and its associated factors from 2006 to 2014 among French adolescents: Results from three repeated cross sectional HBSC studies.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate in the changes in the percentage of adolescents who brush their teeth twice a day and the association with socio-economic status and health behaviors between 2006, 2010 and 2014 among adolescents from the French cross-sectional studies of the Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey.

Methods: Our sample included 18727 adolescents aged 11, 13 or 15 years old (y/o). The relationship between toothbrushing frequency (TBF) and eating habits, health and socio-economic status markers, family status, school perception, substance use, sedentary lifestyle and physical activity, together with their evolution over the 3 studies, were investigated using multivariate logistic regression.

The effect of periodontal treatment on patients with rheumatoid arthritis: The ESPERA randomised controlled trial.

Objectives: To assess the effect of periodontal treatment on clinical and biochemical parameters of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and quality of life (QoL) in patients with moderately active RA who were diagnosed with periodontitis.

Methods: In this open-label randomised controlled trial, RA subjects (n = 22) were allocated to "immediate" or "delayed" periodontal treatment (full-mouth non-surgical scaling and root planing, systemic antibiotics, and oral hygiene instructions).

Methods: In this open-labelled randomized controlled trial, diabetic subjects (n = 91) were given "immediate" or "delayed" periodontal treatment (full-mouth non-surgical scaling and root planing, systemic antibiotics, and oral health instructions). The main outcome was the effect on glycated haemoglobin (HbA ) and fructosamine levels.

Socioeconomic and behavioral determinants of tooth brushing frequency: results from the representative French 2010 HBSC cross-sectional study.

Objectives: To describe tooth brushing frequency and its association with a wide range of socioeconomic and behavioral characteristics, using a nationally representative sample of school-aged children in France.

Methods: Our sample included 11,337 students aged from 10 to 16 years, who answered the HBSC questionnaire. Some variables were grouped into composite variables, thus generating scores for: eating habits, health and body, relationships with parents, socioeconomic status (SES) of family, and school life.

Discrete Distribution Based on Compound Sum to Model Dental Caries Count Data.

Methods for analysing dental caries and associated risk indicators have evolved considerably in recent decades. The use of zero-inflated or hurdle models is increasing so as to take account of the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) distribution, which is positively skewed and has a high proportion of zero scores. However, there is a need to develop new statistical models that involve pragmatic biological considerations on dental caries in epidemiological surveys.

Early risk factors for posterior crossbite and anterior open bite in the primary dentition.

Objective: To investigate risk factors specific to posterior crossbite and anterior open bite at the age of 3 years.

Materials And Methods: The study included 422 children of the French EDEN mother-child cohort. The main outcomes were the presence of posterior crossbite and anterior open bite assessed by dentists at 3 years.

Clinical research activity in periodontal medicine: a systematic mapping of trial registers.

Aim: The primary aim of the study was to systematically map registration records on periodontal medicine in clinical trial registers. The secondary aim was to assess the evolution of periodontal medicine in clinical periodontal research as a whole.

Material And Methods: We searched all registration records related to periodontology in the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform.

Concise review: mesenchymal stromal cells used for periodontal regeneration: a systematic review.

Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease of the soft and hard tissues supporting the teeth. Recent advances in regenerative medicine and stem cell biology have paved the way for periodontal tissue engineering. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) delivered in situ to periodontal defects may exert their effects at multiple levels, including neovascularization, immunomodulation, and tissue regeneration.

Oral health status in outpatients with rheumatoid arthritis: the OSARA study.

Background: Observational studies and clinical trials are increasingly highlighting significant associations between periodontitis (chronic, infectious, inflammatory disease affecting tooth supporting tissues) and rheumatoid arthritis (chronic systemic autoimmune disease).

Objective: The aim of the study was to describe the dental, periodontal and oral prosthetic status of outpatients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

Material And Methods: The study was conducted from June 2010 to March 2011 in the Rheumatology Day Care Department of the University Teaching Hospital, Toulouse.

[Perceived oral health and use of dental services during pregnancy: the MaterniDent study].

Introduction: The main objective of the MaterniDent study was to determine the nature and frequency of dental problems experienced by pregnant women and their associated factors. The secondary objective was to determine the frequency of dental visits during pregnancy and to identify associated factors.

Methods: The MaterniDent study was a multicenter cross-sectional study conducted among 904 postpartum women in three French maternity wards.

Efficacy of composite versus ceramic inlays and onlays: study protocol for the CECOIA randomized controlled trial.

Background: Dental caries is a common disease and affects many adults worldwide. Inlay or onlay restoration is widely used to treat the resulting tooth substance loss. Two esthetic materials can be used to manufacture an inlay/onlay restoration of the tooth: ceramic or composite.

Effect of periodontal treatment on the clinical parameters of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: study protocol of the randomized, controlled ESPERA trial.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that leads to joint damage, deformity, and pain. It affects approximately 1% of adults in developed countries. Periodontitis is a chronic oral infection, caused by inflammatory reactions to gram-negative anaerobic bacteria, and affecting about 35 to 50% of adults.

Oral health-related quality of life among outpatients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Objectives: The aims of the Oral Status And Rheumatoid Arthritis (OSARA) cross-sectional study were to study the oral health-related quality of life and to assess the associated factors in a population of outpatients with rheumatoid arthritis in France.

Methods: The data were collected by five trained and standardised dentists who asked each subject the questions of a socio-demographic, behavioural and medical questionnaire, which was completed with the medical records, and performed the dental examination. Each subject filled out two self-assessment questionnaires: the Health Assessment Questionnaire and the General Oral Health Assessment Index.

Frequency and risk indicators of tooth decay among pregnant women in France: a cross-sectional analysis.

Introduction: Little is known on the prevalence of tooth decay among pregnant women. Better knowledge of tooth decay risk indicators during pregnancy could help to develop follow-up protocols for women at risk, along with better prevention strategies. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of tooth decay and the number of decayed teeth per woman in a large sample of pregnant women in France, and to study associated risk indicators.

Neonatal factors associated with alteration of palatal morphology in very preterm children: the EPIPAGE cohort study.

Background: Altered palatal morphology has been observed among some preterm children, with possible consequences on chewing, speaking and esthetics, but determinants remain unknown.

Aim: To explore the role of neonatal characteristics and neuromotor dysfunction in alteration of palatal morphology at 5 years of age in very preterm children.

Study Design: Prospective population-based cohort study.

Maternal dental caries and pre-term birth: results from the EPIPAP study.

OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study was to analyse the association between maternal dental caries and pre-term birth (PTB), with a particular focus on the infection-suspected causes of pre-term births. MATERIALS AND METHODS.

Ethics in systematic reviews.

Since its introduction by the Nuremberg Code and the Declaration of Helsinki, the place held by ethics in biomedical research has been continuously increasing in importance. The past 30 years have also seen exponential growth in the number of biomedical articles published. A systematic review of the literature is the scientific way of synthesising a plethora of information, by exhaustively searching out and objectively analysing the studies dealing with a given issue.

Periodontal treatment to improve glycaemic control in diabetic patients: study protocol of the randomized, controlled DIAPERIO trial.

Background: Periodontitis is a common, chronic inflammatory disease caused by gram-negative bacteria leading to destruction of tissues supporting the teeth. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown increased frequency, extent and severity of periodontitis among diabetic adults. More recently, some controlled clinical trials have also suggested that periodontal treatment could improve glycaemic control in diabetic patients.
