Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Dutch Adults With Osteogenesis Imperfecta.

Objective: To explore the oral health-related quality of life and its possible risk factors among adults with Osteogenesis Imperfecta using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP)-49 questionnaire. Secondary objectives were to investigate the impact of self-reported Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Dentinogenesis Imperfecta, and age on various dental parameters.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire was distributed online to 417 Dutch adults with Osteogenesis Imperfecta at three national referral centers.

[Time wears on everyone, but not equally quickly].

In 30 patients (average age 38 ± 8 years, 77% male, 23% female) with intra-oral scans made at intake and after 3 years, tooth wear progression was measured. With the aid of GeoMagic to superimpose the scans, the maximum difference in height of 64 surfaces was measured per surface. A large variation was found in progression rates between patients, between various teeth in a single mouth, and between surfaces on a single tooth.

Tooth wear and bruxism: A scoping review.

Objective: This study presents a scoping review to determine the association between tooth wear and bruxism.

Data: A protocol was developed a priori (Open Science Framework (DOI 10.17605/OSF.

Natural History of Mandibular Function in Spinal Muscular Atrophy Types 2 and 3.

Background: Hereditary proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is characterized by abnormal alpha motor neuron function in brainstem and spinal cord. Bulbar dysfunction, including limited mouth opening, is present in the majority of patients with SMA but it is unknown if and how these problems change during disease course.

Objective: In this prospective, observational, longitudinal natural history study we aimed to study bulbar dysfunction in patients with SMA types 2 and 3.

Inter- and intra-variability in tooth wear progression at surface-, tooth- and patient-level over a period of three years: A cohort study: Inter- and intra-variation in tooth wear progression.

Objective: To explore the variability of tooth wear progression at the surface-, tooth- and patient-level over a period of three years three years using in vivo 3D-measurements of full dentitions amongst patients with moderate to severe tooth wear and without demand for restorative rehabilitation.

Methods: Fifty-five eligible patients with moderate to severe tooth wear had intra-oral scans taken using either the 3 M True Definition Intraoral Scanner or the 3 M Lava Chairside Oral Scanner. The maximum height loss (µm) per cusp/incisal/palatal surface at unrestored surfaces was measured using the 3D Wear Analysis (3DWA)-protocol with Geomagic Qualify, resulting in sixty-four measurements per dentition.
