Abstract:

<p>Chronic dental disease is acknowledged to be the most prevalent preventable chronic disease in children and is disproportionately higher for Hispanic children who are part of the nation's largest minority group (Crall & Edelstein, 2001; Flores et al., 2002; Barker & Horton, 2008). In spite of efforts to provide access to dental services, parents make the ultimate decision if and when to take their child to the dentist. Management of this chronic condition lessens pain, improves attendance at school, improves concentration, and improves grades (Dental Health Foundation, 2006; Percy,

The purpose of this study was to examine the use of dental services for young children following a preventive oral health intervention in a pediatric medical clinic. Over a 3 year period (2005-2008), children 0-36 months of age, enrolled in Medicaid, were provided preventive oral health services in a medical setting. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression were used to determine the effect receiving the preventive oral health services in a medical setting with the outcomes of dental utilization. 15% were determined to have dental caries at the intervention and 42% found t

Abstract:

Many dental devices combine acrylic (i.e. poly-methyl methacrylate or bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate) and metallic parts (i.e. titanium or stainless steel) that are bonded together. These devices often present catastrophic mechanical failures due to weak bonding between their acrylic and metallic components. These devices include dental prostheses, combining metallic frameworks (i.e. titanium) and wrought wires with acrylic resin; and orthodontic appliances, combining acrylic resin with stainless steel wrought wires or composite with stainless steel brackets.

Abstract:

Studies show that people with disabilities, including people using a wheelchair, have more untreated dental problems and tend to use dental services less than the rest of the population. Despite this discrepancy, the nature of these difficulties and the shape of their dental care pathways have not been studied. Consequently, this study was undertaken to address this gap, with the goal of better understanding the difficulties that people using a wheelchair experience in accessing dental services and to identify solutions to facilitate their access to quality dental services.

Abstract:

Goal and Objectives: The goal of this study is to assess parental knowledge and experience regarding children's dental insurance, following enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA emphasizes the importance of oral health, making pediatric dental services one of ten essential health benefits. With this major change in health care reform, parents should be equipped to make informed decisions regarding their children's dental care and insurance. Data from the first open enrollment period show lack of true mandate and subsequent lack of compliance to this pediatric dental objective. On

Abstract:

Virtual surgical planning (VSP) has the potential to make the work process of oral and maxillofacial surgery more efficient both in terms of performance and cost. This study aims to investigate how VSP is used among oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics in Sweden, and to analyse VSP with regard to accuracy, healing, patient communication, and overall operative time. A questionnaire was sent to all (n = 34) oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics in Sweden, concerning their knowledge and practice of VSP. A literature review was also carried out to compare the results from clinics in Sweden wi

Coca cola och sportdrycker är båda drycker som idag konsumeras i stora mängder världen över. Erosionskador på tänderna är vanligare än vad många tror eller ens vet om. Både vuxna och tonåringar dricker stora mängder erosiva drycker utan att veta om dess skador på tänderna. Dessa drycker börjar oftast drickas i tonåren men konsumtionen fortsätter sedan långt upp i åldrarna. Tandslitage är tandsubstansförlust som inte är av kariogen påverkan.
