SUMMARYAn approach to providing dental care for patients with handicapping conditions is described using lessons learned from four patients. A review of the current literature regarding attitudes generally held by dentists regarding patients with handicapping conditions is included to help relate the reasons that these concepts apply.

摘要:

SUMMARYThe importance of nutrition during the treatment of head and neck cancers has been discussed in relation to oral health. The side effects of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy are described as well as their effects on nutrition. Common presentations of therapy‐induced malnutrition are presented. Parameters for nutritional assessment are listed and an instrument is proposed to assist with the monitoring of nutritional status and to aid in organizing interventions that support adequate nutrition. The practitioner who is capable of recognizing and helps to prevent nutritional deficiencies in patients with head and neck cancers provides a valuable service that increases the comfort of the patient and improves the prognosis for successful therap

摘要:

SUMMARYThe present study examined the interrelationships of personality traits and six periodontal health status measures in 550 adult males, aged 29 to 74, who are participants in an ongoing longitudinal study of oral health and aging. Personality characteristics were assessed using Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, and periodontal health status was evaluated through the measurement of the following variables: plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation, calculus deposition, periodontal pocket depth, alveolar bone loss, and tooth mobility. A series of multiple regression analyses indicated that the personality traits of anxiety and extroversion had minimal associations with these periodontal disease indexes. Intelligence was weakly associated (inversely) with periodontal disease status. The best predictors of periodontal status were age and education, but these demographic variables accounted for, at most, only 12% of the variance in disease status. Other factors, such as hormonal imbalance, nutritional status, and cigarette smoking habits need to be included in multivariate models to develop a better understanding of interrelationships among factors related to periodontal disease.
