AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores how oral health issues relate to Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, identifying significant correlations between specific oral problems and the infection.
- Out of 54,036 participants, 46.97% tested positive for Hp, with factors like age, gender, BMI, smoking, and alcohol intake showing significant associations with the infection.
- Only dental calculus and loose teeth were notably linked to Hp infection, indicating that maintaining good oral hygiene may help prevent or reduce Hp-related issues.
Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between oral problems and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, and to reveal which oral problems are significantly related with Hp infection.
Methods: Participants undergoing healthy medical examination were examined for 12 kinds of oral problems: dental calculus, oral mucosal disease, periodontal disease, decayed tooth, tooth defect, disuse tooth, residual crown and root, devital tooth, loose tooth, fistula, ill-fitting fixed denture and ectopic tooth. Hp infection was confirmed by (13)C-urea breath test. Participant information including age, educational level, smoking habits, drinking habits, height, weight and body mass index (BMI) were collected using a standard questionnaire.
Results: Hp infection was 46.97% of the 54,036 cases. Age (P<0.01), gender (P<0.001) and BMI (P<0.01) were significantly associated with Hp infection. Smoking (P<0.001) and regular drinking (P<0.001) were showed to be associated with Hp infection. After adjustments for other associated factors, in all of the 12 oral problems, only dental calculus [n=35,559, OR (95% CI)=1.05 (1.01-1.09), P=0.012] and loose tooth [n=2411, OR (95% CI)=1.22 (1.03-1.22), P=0.007] were related with Hp infection.
Conclusion: In a cross-sectional analysis, the prevalence of Hp infection was strongly related with several social problems, including age, gender, BMI, smoking and regular drinking. In addition, oral problems, particularly dental calculus and loose tooth, were found to be associated with Hp infection, possibly due to the dental plaque. The study suggested that to prevent or eradicate Hp infection, we need to focus on oral hygiene and prevention of oral problems, especially dental calculus and loose tooth.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a combination of immediate implant placement with maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) solely using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on guided bone regeneration.
Materials And Methods: An interventional before-after (pre-post) study design was used with 30 dental patients (≥18 years of age; 14 males and 16 females) with initial bone heights ranging between 4 and 6 mm. Following the general check-up and the creation of a study model, the planned implant location demonstrated an external right maxilla diameter of more than 5 mm, thereby validating the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiograph.

Manipulating flexible and underactuated objects, such as a whip, remains a significant challenge in robotics. Remarkably, humans can skillfully manipulate such objects to achieve tasks, ranging from hitting distant targets to extinguishing a cigarette's in someone's mouth with the tip of a whip. This study explored this problem by constructing and modeling a 25-degree-of-freedom whip.

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) accounts for 85% of all reported tuberculosis cases globally. Extrapulmonary involvement can occur in isolation or along with a pulmonary focus as in the case of patients with disseminated tuberculosis (TB). EPTB can occur through hematogenous, lymphatic, or localized bacillary dissemination from a primary source, such as PTB and affects the brain, eye, mouth, tongue, lymph nodes of neck, spine, bones, muscles, skin, pleura, pericardium, gastrointestinal, peritoneum and the genitourinary system as primary and/or disseminated disease.
