摘要:

Periodontal conditions were studied in 42 dentate elderly subjects (mean age, 84.1 ± 8.0 years). None of them had received recent dental care or was routinely seen by a dentist. Overall, they had 20.2 ± 7.1 teeth (range, 6–32). The CPITN was used to assess periodontal status. Twenty‐nine percent of all sextants were either edentulous or had only one remaining tooth. The overall oral hygiene was poor (Plaque Index, 1.8 ± 0.5) and gingival inflammation severe (Gingival Index, 1.9 ± 0.8). Significant correlations were found between: Gingival and Plaque Indices (r = 0.82, p<0.001), and pocket depth and Gingival Index (r = 0.38, p<0.05). Plaque Index was negatively correlated to the number of remaining teeth (r = 0.43, p<0.050). Age and remaining teeth were negatively correlated (r = 0.38, p<0.05). Thirty percent of the posterior sextants had a CPITN score of “4,” and 75% of the posterior sextants had at least one site with a pocket depth 4 mm. Only 2.9% of all sites demonstrated pocket depth 6 mm and these sites were distributed among 67% of the subjects. The CPITN index was correlated to the mean pocket depth for the various sextants, the correlation varying between r = 0.67, p<0.001 (upper right posterior) and 0.36, p<0.05 (upper left posterior) sextants. The total manpower estimated to complete initial therapy for 42 patients was approximately 63 hours by a dentist and 85 hours by a denta

摘要:

This study reports on factors related to acceptance of restorative, oral surgery, and prosthodontic dental treatment services by a population of nursing home residents. Lower cost treatment plans and eligibility for Medicaid benefits were associated with acceptance of all treatment, and for the categories of oral surgery and prosthodontic services. Acceptance of routine restorative procedures was more strongly associated with female residents. It is concluded that financial concerns appear to pose the greatest barrier in providing dental treatment services to nursing home residents.

摘要:

Fragile X syndrome is a common condition resulting from a cytogenetic abnormality in the X chromosome. Mental retardation, characteristic facies, and large testes are some of the most important characteristics of the condition. The relatively high incidence of the syndrome—approximately one per thousand—the high incidence of cardiac anomalies in these individuals, the oral and facial features associated with the condition, and the paucity of reported cases in the dental literature make it particularly interesting to dentistry. Here we report the case of a 12‐year‐old male, including the cytogenetic and cephalometric analyses, presenting with some of the classic features and some features not commonly

摘要:

This study evaluated the tensile bond strengths of five silicone facial elastomers to human skin by use of five different double‐sided adhesive tapes. Discs of silicone elastomers were fixed in circular metal holders and glued to the inner aspect of a forearm with the various adhesive tapes. The specimens were pulled off 20 seconds after fixation by means of a universal testing machine at a cross‐head speed of 1 mm/min. Eight specimens of each silicone/tape combination were tested. Significant differences were observed among the various silicone/tape combinations. MDX4–4210®and Cosmesil®facial elastomers had the strongest bond to skin with the majority of adhesive tapes, whereas Silskin II®, Cosmesil HC2®, and RS 330T‐RTV®were the weakest. After the bond failure, tapes remained adhered to the skin and not to the silico

摘要:

Multiple physical impairments are associated with chronic drooling. This case illustrates the use of a simple appliance to align the patient's lip to provide opportunity for a lip seal when swallowing or at rest in a patient with a Class II malocclusion. The appliance resulted in a significant decrease in drooling in this patient.
