Objectives: The COHQoL is a set of questionnaires used to evaluate the impact of oral health on children's quality of life. Although the CPQ8-10 and the P-CPQ have been translated and validated in French, the CPQ11-14 14 has not yet been validated. The aim was to develop a French version of the CPQ11-14 16-items.

Materials And Methods: An electronic search was done in July 2022 in five databases following PICOTS elements. The quality of the reports was established using the modified Pierson, Bradford Hills, and Ottawa Newcastle scale.
A 39-year-old woman who had undergone fibular flap reconstruction and simultaneous implant placement after the surgical removal of a cemento-ossifying fibroma was experiencing mild discomfort 3 years later and requested an implant-supported prosthesis to restore her edentulous left maxillary quadrant. Initially, an interim removable partial denture was provided and later duplicated with clear resin. The interim prosthesis identified the excessive thickness of the grafted cutaneous soft tissue and the inadequate emergence angle of the nonfunctioning implants.

Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive design including semi-structured interviews using guiding themes.
In medical research, the traditional way to collect data, i.e. browsing patient files, has been proven to induce bias, errors, human labor and costs.

In the context of individual vulnerability and more specifically the one induced by rare diseases, ensuring oral health is a particularly important issue. The objective of the study is to evaluate the pattern of oral health care course for patients with any rare genetic disease.

In the oral cavity, spontaneous abscesses can often occur without any clinical signs of alteration of the causal tooth. The objective of our study was to evaluate the oral care pathway and the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients following in an expert oral medicine department located within a Parisian hospital and working in close collaboration with an endocrinology department expert in this pathology.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDental anomalies occur frequently in a number of genetic disorders and act as major signs in diagnosing these disorders. We present definitions of the most common dental signs and propose a classification usable as a diagnostic tool by dentists, clinical geneticists, and other health care providers. The definitions are part of the series Elements of Morphology and have been established after careful discussions within an international group of experienced dentists and geneticists.

This report describes an innovative technique to remove post-and-core restorations. The WAM'X Super Quick post removal device permits a secure mechanical traction technique that can adapt to variable root angulations. Pivoting prongs mounted on forceps allow post removal while preserving the ferrule effect to improve resistance to fractures.

The aim was to contribute to the development and evaluation of health strategies to improve the management of patients with rare diseases. The objective of this study has been to provide the first national-level data concerning rare diseases of the head, neck and teeth and to assess the balance between demand and supply of care in France.
