摘要:

Day‐stay general anesthesia is indicated for a number of dental reasons, not least for those patients who are unable to accept routine dental care. Since 1979, the Dental Hospital of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, has provided a weekly day‐stay service for the dental care of such patients. Reviews of this service were undertaken in 1983 and again in 1993. The latter study Investigated the provision of care for 265 patients and compared this with that for the 96 patients reviewed in the earlier study. This paper presents the results of the review and underlines the need for a very aggressive approach to preventive dental care for patients treated by this modal

摘要:

Successful treatment of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type III (MEN III) syndrome requires early diagnosis. It is highly possible that the patient's dentist may be the first practitioner with the opportunity to diagnose this potentially fatal syndrome. Additionally, patients with this syndrome having a pheochromocytoma and needing invasive dental treatment pose a life‐threatening dental management risk. This article presents a review of the MEN III syndrome and a case report on the surgical management of a MEN III patient with a pheochromocytom

摘要:

Developmental vascular anomalies of the head and neck may give rise to profound esthetic problems that are a challenge to treat. These vascular anomalies may also be of significance in dentistry, particularly where extractions have to be carried out This brief report describes a number of children who presented with different variations of these anomalies.

摘要:

Questionnaires and oral examinations were completed on 50 clients of a social service agency which provides home‐based services to functionally dependent elderly. Nearly 61% of all respondents classified their oral health as frail/poor, and 82% reported a perceived need for some oral health care. When asked if they considered themselves home‐bound, 60% reported being home‐bound from 1–10 years (mean = 4.7 years). Two or more home services were received by 80% of the home‐bound group compared with just 45% of the not‐homebound group. Paying for dental care, transportation difficulties, and poor health were the most frequently identified barriers that limited access to oral

摘要:

The purposes of this study were to compare the acceptance of pediatric dental behavioral management techniques by 40 parents of children with disabilities with that of 40 parents whose children were not disabled and to determine the effect of prior information on the level of acceptance for both groups of parents. An instrument containing a demographic questionnaire and using a visual analog scale asked parents to indicate acceptance level of hand‐over‐mouth, sedation, restraint using Papoose board, and general anesthesia for either a check‐up/cleaning, dental filling, or treatment of a toothache. One half of each parent group received a written description and rationale for the behavior management technique prior to rating acceptance, and the other half did not. Although differences were found between parents of the disabled and non‐disabled and between those informed and not informed, only one technique and procedure (restraint for checkup/cleaning) was significantly different for acceptability (p ≤ 0.05), and that was between uninformed parents of non‐disabled children and informed parents of disabled children. We conclude that having a disabled child or receiving a prior rationale for pediatric behavior management techniques was not significantly related to differences in acceptance of the techniques for the procedure

摘要:

The asymptomatic progression of osteoporosis, in conjunction with the possibility of catastrophic disability, makes this disorder a major public health priority.Various body sites, including the mandible, have shown susceptibility to decreasing bone density. In 1986, Benson et al. proposed a radiomor‐phometric technique called the Panoramic Mandibular Index (PMI) as an inexpensive, noninvasive dental technique for osteoporosis screening, although no osteoporotic subjects were included in their study.The purpose of our study was to determine whether osteoporotic postmenopausal women would show a decrease in mandibular cortical bone height, as measured by the PMI Index, when compared with nonosteoporotic postmenopausal women.Seventy‐two Caucasian females (33 cases/39 controls), aged 54–71 years old, were selected through records and screening via a dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry scan (LUNAR‐DEXATM).ANOVA analysis Indicated no differences in the mean PMI between case and control groups (0.37 ± 0.15 and 0.38 ± 0.13, respectively; p = 0.69). Other techniques, such as computer digitized radiography, should be explored to test the validi
