Factors influencing postoperative bleeding after dental extraction in older adult patients receiving anticoagulation therapy.

Objectives: To investigate factors influencing postoperative bleeding occurrence after dental extraction in older patients receiving anticoagulation therapy.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included patients aged ≥ 65 years receiving one of the following anticoagulants: apixaban, edoxaban, rivaroxaban, and warfarin. Patients who underwent one to multiple tooth extractions in the geriatric dentistry clinic at Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital between August 1, 2016, and November 30, 2020, were included.

Postoperative bleeding after dental extraction among elderly patients under anticoagulant therapy.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess and compare postoperative bleeding occurrence after dental extraction in medically compromised elderly patients under anticoagulant therapy.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included medically compromised elderly patients aged ≥ 65 years who were taking apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, rivaroxaban, or warfarin and had undergone single or multiple dental extractions. The primary outcome measure was postoperative bleeding occurrence, which was defined as oozing or marked hemorrhage from 24 h to 7 days after dental extraction.

Comparison of cardiovascular response between patients on warfarin and hypertensive patients not on warfarin during dental extraction.

Objective: To evaluate cardiovascular response in patients on warfarin and hypertensive patients not on warfarin during dental extraction.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 53 patients who had undergone dental extraction while on warfarin (mean age 78.8 ± 6.

Relationship Between Oral Health-Related Quality of Life and Usage Period of Complete Dentures.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and usage period of complete dentures.

Materials And Methods: Data were obtained from 432 edentulous patients who required complete dentures as part of an investigation registered in the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) Center (UMINCTR clinical trial, unique trial number: 000028711). Mandibular ridge form, denture quality, and usage period of the dentures were recorded and incorporated into a multiple linear regression analysis.

Structural equation modeling of the impact of mandibular ridge form and denture quality on oral health-related quality of life in complete denture wearers.

Purpose: To examine the effect of mandibular ridge form and denture quality on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in complete denture wearers by using structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis of data before and after new complete denture insertion.

Methods: Four hundred thirty-two edentulous patients who visited the Dental Hospital of Tokyo Medical and Dental University for new complete dentures were recruited. An intervention study design was conducted, including complete denture fabrication with SEM analysis.

An intervention study to test Locker's conceptual framework of oral health in edentulous elders.

Objective: To test a previously described conceptual framework of oral health in edentulous elders using an intervention study that included complete denture replacement. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was also conducted to substantiate construct validity.

Background Data: To date, the model proposed by Locker has been tested on edentulous elders using structural equation model (SEM) analysis.

A structural equation model to test a conceptual framework of oral health in Japanese edentulous patients with an item weighting method using factor score weights: a cross-sectional study.

Background: To investigate Locker's multidimensional model of oral health in Japanese edentulous patients with an item weighting method using factor score weights, which is more accurate than the sum scoring method. A previous study tested Locker's model in edentulous elders in the UK, using empirical evidence from the Short-Form Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). Investigating the model using the OHIP for edentulous subjects (OHIP-EDENT), which contains 19 items suitable for these patients, may complement that study.

A structural equation model to assess the influence of neuroticism on oral health-related quality of life in complete denture wearers.

Objective: To investigate the influence of patient neuroticism on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in complete denture wearers.

Background: There are some indicators of complete denture prognosis. The relationship between personality traits, mainly neuroticism and OHRQoL in complete denture wearers remains unclear.

A structural equation model relating oral condition, denture quality, chewing ability, satisfaction, and oral health-related quality of life in complete denture wearers.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between mandibular ridge form, stability and retention of mandibular complete denture, accuracy of jaw relation recording, patients' perception of chewing ability, satisfaction with dentures and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in complete denture wearers.

Methods: A total of 183 edentulous patients, who visited the Dental Hospital of Tokyo Medical and Dental University for new complete dentures, were recruited. Oral examination was performed.

Reliability and validity of a Japanese version of the Oral Health Impact Profile for edentulous subjects.

Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the Oral Health Impact Profile for edentulous (OHIP-EDENT-J) patients.

Background: Oral Health Impact Profile for edentulous is an appropriate instrument for assessing the Quality of life (QOL) in edentulous patients. However, the reliability and validity of the Japanese version had not been evaluated.
