Purpose: The prevalence of gingival recession in orthodontically treated patients and the relative impact of retainer type on its occurrence remain poorly understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between previous orthodontic treatment and retainer type on the long-term prevalence of gingival recession and to evaluate the role of other patient-related factors, such as gender, age, smoking and gingival phenotype.

Materials And Methods: We included subjects both with and without a history of previous orthodontics (at least 5 years post-treatment).

Three-dimensional organotypic models benefit from the ability to mimic physiological cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions and therefore offer superior models for studying pathological or physiological conditions compared to 2D cultures. Organotypic models consisting of keratinocytes supported by fibroblasts embedded in collagen matrices have been utilised for the study of oral conditions. However, the provision of a suitable model for investigating the pathogenesis of periodontitis has been more challenging.

Patients with existing or a history of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) are considered to be at a higher risk of further developing MRONJ, particularly if dental extractions are necessary. It is assumed that their underlying risk factors predispose them to developing MRONJ and they are allocated into an 'elevated risk group'. There is no evidence to quantify this risk level; however, it has led to an avoidance of dental extractions in this cohort.

Background: Diabetes poses a significant public health challenge, predominantly affecting low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), including in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The evolving landscape characterized by resource constraints, gaps in availability and functionality of healthcare system, and socio-demographic impediments has compounded these challenges. As an example, self-care interventions have played a crucial role in diabetes care.

Access to oral health care services for children with disabilities: a mixed methods systematic review.

BMC Oral Health

August 2024

NIHR Applied Research Collaborative Greater Manchester (NIHR ARC GM), University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom.

Background: Children with disabilities experience poorer oral health and frequently have complex needs. The accessibility of oral health care services for children with disabilities is crucial for promoting oral health and overall well-being. This study aimed to systematically review the literature to identify the barriers and facilitators to oral health care services for children with disabilities, and to propose priority research areas for the planning and provision of dental services to meet their needs.
