Background: Residual ridge resorption presents obstacles in prosthodontic treatment, affecting denture stability and the success of dental implants. Genetic elements, specifically the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 1772C>T variant within the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF-1α) gene, are hypothesized to contribute to residual ridge resorption progression. Nevertheless, its impact remains insufficiently investigated, especially within the context of South Indian populations.

Article Synopsis
  • The study highlights the importance of oral health as a public health issue and explores the development of silicone-based materials infused with vitamins A, B1, and B6 for use in prosthodontics to potentially enhance oral cavity treatments.
  • Various testing methods, including FT-IR spectroscopy and SEM, confirmed the successful integration of vitamins into the silicone materials, along with their biocompatibility and appropriate mechanical properties for oral applications.
  • Results showed that while the addition of vitamins improved some characteristics, it also led to decreased mechanical strength and hydrophobicity of the materials, indicating a balance needed between therapeutic benefits and material performance.

What is the food like that people choke on? A study on food bolus physical properties under different in vitro oral capacities.

People with oral impairments, such as poor denture status, poor muscle strength, and poor salivary secretion, have more difficulties performing oral processes, which results in the risk of choking. In this study, we aimed to understand, in vitro, how different oral impairments can affect the oral processing of food reported as a choking hazard. Six foods that frequently cause choking were selected and studied, varying three in vitro factors at two levels-saliva incorporation amount, cutting activity, and compression action.
