Article Synopsis
- Oral health indicators can indicate oral frailty, which is the gradual loss of oral function linked to declining cognitive and physical abilities in older adults.
- A systematic review analyzed the relationship between oral frailty indicators and various cardiovascular diseases, including coronary heart disease and stroke, using data from over 226,000 older adults.
- Key findings suggest that the number of teeth and periodontal disease are significantly associated with multiple cardiovascular conditions, highlighting the importance of maintaining oral health in preventing such diseases.
Aims: To systematically review the literature assessing associations between TMDs and primary headaches.
Methods: Using validated clinical criteria, studies on TMDs and primary headaches published up to January 10, 2023 were identified using six electronic databases. This review adhered to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and 27-item checklist and is registered on PROSPERO (CRD42021256391).
Zirconia and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) are two biomaterials widely investigated as substitute for metals in oral prosthetic rehabilitation. To achieve a proper biomechanical behavior, the prosthetic biomaterials must ensure a good resistance to loads, as this is a crucial characteristic enabling their use in dental applications. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in the fracture resistance of different biomaterials in an experimental environment: fixed partial dentures (FPDs) screwed in a prototype of biomimetic mandible.
