Objectives: To conduct critical assessment of the literature on the effects of cochlear implantation on adults' cognitive abilities.
Design: PubMed, Scopus, Lilacs, Web of Science, Livivo, Cochrane, Embase, PsycInfo, and grey literature were searched. Eligibility criteria: age 18 or over with severe-to-profound bilateral hearing loss, cochlear implantation, cognitive test before and after implantation.
Article Synopsis
- * The analysis included 11 studies and found that root-filled teeth exhibited slightly less root resorption compared to vital teeth; however, the level of certainty for this finding was very low due to various confounding factors.
- * The conclusion suggests that while there may be a difference in root resorption levels, the effect is small and uncertain, implying that this difference may not be clinically meaningful.
Background: Many factors can influence chewing, including age. The ageing process causes morphophysiological changes in the body, including in the performance of the stomatognathic system, which directly affect chewing and swallowing.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of chewing difficulty in older people in long-term care.
Objective: This systematic review aims to answer the following question: What is the psychological impact of orthognathic surgery on patients with dentofacial deformities undergoing orthodontic-surgical treatment?
Material And Methods: The search was adapted for each of the following databases: American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences (LILACS), Cochrane Library, Embase, Psychinfo, PubMed/Medline, Scopus and Web of Science, and gray literature using Google Scholar, OpenGrey, and ProQuest. The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Assessment Checklist. This study performed estimates of interest, random-effects meta-analyses, and calculated heterogeneity using Higgins inconsistency index (I).
Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to assess the risk factors associated with the stability of mini-implants and mini-plates in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment using temporary anchorage devices.
