Objectives: To evaluate the ability of different esthetic archwires to retain oral biofilms in vitro.
Materials And Methods: Seven different brands of coated orthodontic archwires were tested: two epoxy coated, two polytetrafluoroethylene coated, two rhodium coated, and one silver plus polymer coated. Conventional uncoated metallic archwires were used as controls.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate dental status (ie, number of teeth and presence of removable dental prostheses) as a predictor of all-cause mortality among nursing facility residents.
Background: Edentulism has been associated with poorer health outcomes in geriatric populations.
Materials And Methods: Between March 2006 and June 2008, oral health screening examinations were completed for 584 residents of 10 nursing facilities in four eastern Iowa counties.
Purpose: Little is known about use or acceptance of minimally invasive dentistry (MID) in the USA, particularly in public health settings. The purpose of this study was to assess opinions concerning MID among dentists in public-health practices.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the views of dentists in public-health practices concerning MID using an online survey instrument among National Network for Oral Health Access (NNOHA) and American Association of Community Dental Programs (AACDP) members.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate dental students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards evidence-based practice (EBP) across diverse institutions.
- A survey conducted among 138 fourth-year dental students revealed that while most had a positive attitude towards EBP, they lacked confidence in their critical appraisal abilities.
- The findings highlighted varied resource access habits among students, indicating a need for enhancements in EBP education to better prepare future practitioners.
