Abstract:

Dental abrasion is most commonly seen at the cervical necks of teeth, but can occur in any area, even inter-dentally from vigorous and incorrect use of dental floss. Acid erosion has been implicated in the initiation and progress of the cervical lesion, while tooth-brush abrasion has long been held as the prime cause of cervical abrasion. Identification of the risk factors is clearly important in order to modify any habits and provide appropriate advice.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the association between tooth retention and health behaviors among Chinese older adults. Data was used from the Chinese 4th National Oral Health Survey, a national representative sample. The sample included 9054 older adults age 55-74. The control variables included age, gender, residence, region, education level, occupation, periodontal health, self-reported oral health, and self-reported general health. Logistic regression models shows that older adults who used tooth picks (OR=3.37, 95% CI: 2.94-3.85), dental floss (OR=1.93, 95%CI: 1.05-3.53), and to

SUMMARYIntroduction. In the last decade, the impact of oral health on overall health status in the elderly has attracted considerable attention. Elderly people are often not aware that oral diseases and tooth loss can be prevented. Oral health behaviour involves acquisition of individual habits for preservation and maintenance of oral health, such as regular brushing and brushing teeth, using fluoride-rich toothpastes and dental floss, reducing sugar in the diet and habit of regular visits to the dentist. The aim of this research was to assess knowledge and attitude toward maintenance and pres

Abstract:

After completing the active phase of periodontal therapy, supportive periodontal care is required to maintain periodontal health. Patient knowledge and awareness are key to periodontal therapy's success, and the study aims to provide baseline data among supportive periodontal care patients in Sarawak. Questionnaires were distributed among patients at two periodontal clinics. Out of 80 responses, 31.3% of respondents believed they had a good-excellent level of periodontal health. 41.3% felt satisfied with their current periodontal condition. 81.3% understood what dental plaque was, 92.5% knew i
