One-Piece Mini Dental Implant-Retained Mandibular Overdentures: 10-Year Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of a Non-Comparative Longitudinal Observational Study.

This study presents the first 10-year follow-up investigation of the implant survival and peri-implant outcomes of one-piece mini dental implants (MDIs) retaining mandibular implant overdentures (IODs), including marginal bone level alterations (ΔMBLs), clinical peri-implant parameters, and complications. Twenty participants with horizontally atrophied mandibles received complete dentures and four MDIs (diameter 1.8 mm) at baseline.

Dental status and its correlation with polypharmacy and multimorbidity in a Swiss nursing home population: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: To assess the correlation between oral health status in terms of present teeth, implants, removable prostheses, and polypharmacy and/or multimorbidity in three Swiss nursing homes with affiliated or integrated dental care.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in three Swiss geriatric nursing homes with integrated dental care. Dental information consisted of the number of teeth, root remnants, implants, and presence of removable dental prostheses.

Oral diadochokinesis and associated oro-facial function in young and old German mother-tongue speakers: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to compare oral diadochokinesis and to test associations with oro-facial functional parameters in healthy young and old German speakers.

Background: Oral diadochokinesis is a key component in the concept of oro-facial hypofunction and relates to tongue and lip motor function but may depend on the linguistic background.

Materials And Methods: Healthy German speakers with a minimum of 20 teeth were recruited to form a young (<60 years) and an older group (≥60 years).
