Objectives: Translation, reliability analysis and validation of a German version of the Geriatric/General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) was the aim of this study.
Methods: Translation was performed by a forward-backward process. Validity was assessed as convergent validity in comparison with another self-perceived assessment of oral health (OHIP-14) and as group validity (n = 218; mean age 73 years).
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of institutionalized elderly in Germany.
Material And Methods: One-hundred-and-fifty-eight subjects from old people's homes were selected (mean 82.8 years).
Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe the oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) of institutionalized elderly.
Material: 159 elderly were randomly selected for this, study ranging in age from 61 to 98 (mean age 82.8; 19.
Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate whether a systematically arranged shade guide system (Vita 3D-Master) allows clinicians to achieve a better shade match of a restoration, as compared to a conventional shade guide with a design based on empirical values (Vita Classical).
Materials And Methods: Fifty-nine restorations in 42 patients being treated by student clinicians were assessed. Using 1 of the 2 shade systems assigned randomly, each student independently determined the tooth shade.
Mismatch occurring during the fabrication of implant-supported dentures may induce stress to the peri-implant bone. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of two different alloys and the fabrication method on the marginal accuracy of cast partial dentures. Two laboratory implants were bonded into an aluminium block so that the distance between their longitudinal axes was 21 mm.
