Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a brief version of the behavioral intervention Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on reducing gingivitis and plaque levels after 18 weeks.
Materials And Methods: One hundred thirty-five caries-active young adults (18-25 years of age), recruited from two public dental clinics, participated in this parallel group randomized control trial (RCT). Participants in the intervention (n = 67) received two ACT sessions in combination with standard information on oral health, and participants allocated to the control group (n = 68) received standard information only.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze the relationship between oral health, behaviors, and quality of life in young adults with active caries disease.
- - Researchers examined various factors like gingivitis, dental habits, and sugary drink consumption in a group of 135 young adults to assess their impact on caries severity.
- - Results indicated that poor oral health-related quality of life and irregular dental care were linked to higher caries severity, pointing to the need for targeted health behavior interventions.
Background: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the assessment of trabecular bone patterns in dental radiographs, for fracture risk prediction, compared with the current diagnostic methods.
Methods: The PRISMA guidelines were followed. According to predefined inclusion criteria (PICO), literature searches were focussed on published studies with analyses of trabecular bone patterns on intraoral and/or in panoramic radiographs, compared with Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) and/or Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX), with the outcomes; fracture and/or sensitivity and specificity for osteoporosis prediction.
