AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the effect of tooth loss and evaluates current treatment options for edentulism.
- Removable prostheses often lead to dissatisfaction, especially in Western countries, due to the rise of oral implants that significantly enhance rehabilitation outcomes.
- Quality-of-life improvements from implants include better function and aesthetics, although some reduction in jaw motor control occurs post tooth loss; still, rehabilitation supports overall psychosocial and cognitive well-being.
Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to review the impact of loss of teeth and the current state of treatment options available for oral rehabilitation of edentulism. Function with complete dental prostheses varies based on a patient's ability to adapt to removable prostheses and their psychologic acceptance of the treatment. There is varying dissatisfaction with removable prostheses, particularly in Western economies. This is driven in part by the availability of oral implants, which have transformed the treatment options for oral rehabilitation in general and for edentulous rehabilitation in particular. Quality-of-life studies have confirmed the advantages of implants for the retention and support of dental prostheses, as they improve function and esthetic measures to nearly those of the dentate state. Osseoperception, the concept of feedback to the sensorimotor system from tissues surrounding osseointegrated implants, contributes to enhanced function with implant treatment. It is recognized that tooth loss resulting in the loss of periodontal mechanoreceptors has a detrimental effect on jaw motor control even after implant treatment. However, despite this limitation, oral rehabilitation with or without implants, which improves function and esthetics, helps maintain psychosocial and cognitive health.

Background: Osteosarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome associated with an increased risk of frailty, falls, fractures, disability, and death. Calf circumference (CC) has been used as a simple and practical skeletal muscle marker to diagnose sarcopenia. This study aimed to explore the relationship of calf circumference and osteoporosis (OP) and hip fractures (HF) in middle-aged and older adults.

Objectives: Our study aimed to identify the complex interplay between self-efficacy, self-care practice, and glycaemic control among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (PWDs) to inform the design of more targeted and effective behavioural interventions in primary care.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed with 294 PWDs managed in primary care. The Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES) and Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire measured patients' self-efficacy and self-care practice.
