Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed dental health trends in Dalarna, Sweden over 25 years, focusing on the number of teeth, dental decay, removable dentures, and periodontal disease.
- In 1983, the research included 1012 participants, while in 2008, 1440 individuals participated, showing improvements in oral health.
- Key findings revealed a drop in edentulous individuals from 15% to 3%, an increase in average teeth from 22.7 to 24.2, and a significant reduction in periodontal disease, highlighting progress in dental care but a potential rise in demand for dental services due to an aging population.
Objective: To investigate if oral health parameters were impaired in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and if there was an association with serum antibody levels against the periodontal pathogens Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa).
Methods: A case-control study consisting of 100 patients with MI and 100 age- and sex-matched controls from the same geographic area was investigated regarding oral health.
Results: The MI group had significantly more periodontal bone loss (PBL), number of deepened pockets (NDP), and bleeding on probing (BOP), and lower number of teeth (NT) than the controls.
Objectives: The overall aim was to compare the clinical outcomes of early and delayed implant loading in the totally edentulous maxilla during 5 years of function.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients with edentulous maxillae were randomized in two groups and subjected to early (test, n=16) or delayed (control, n=8) loading. A total of 142 implants were placed and 139 implants (Straumann AG) were loaded with full-arch bridges and followed for 5 years.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine retrospectively the outcome of wide-diameter dental implants used to retain fixed restorations in the posterior segments of the maxilla and mandible.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-two patients were consecutively treated between 1997 and 2000 with 78 Wide-Platform (WP) Mk II implants in the posterior regions of the maxilla and/or mandible. All treated patients were called for a retrospective examination between September and November 2001.
Purpose: The purposes of this study were 1) to evaluate the survival rate of implants placed in maxillary sinuses augmented with bovine hydroxyapatite and autogenous bone 6 months before implant surgery and 2) to estimate dimensional changes of the bone graft with time using a new radiographic method.
Patients And Methods: Thirty maxillary sinuses in 20 consecutive patients with severe resorption (mean, 3.8 mm of remaining alveolar bone) were augmented with a mixture of 80% bovine hydroxyapatite and 20% autogenous bone mixed with fibrin glue to enable the placement of screw-shaped dental implants.
