Investigating the maximum bite force and speech intelligibility in patients requiring prosthetic rehabilitation

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Tooth loss leads to reduced occlusal contact area, altered jaw biomechanics, and diminished neuromuscular coordination, impairing both masticatory function and speech clarity. Edentulous patients often adapt by modifying food choices or swallowing behavior and may experience persistent phonetic disturbances.

Towards Prescribing Pathways for Oral Health Practitioners in Australia: Addressing Barriers to Patient‐Centered Care

open access: yesJournal of Public Health Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oral health practitioners (OHPs) provide essential preventive, periodontal, and restorative treatment within diverse settings in Australia. Despite their significant contribution to oral healthcare, regulatory restrictions prevent OHPs from independent prescription of medicines, limiting efficiency, continuity of care, and patient ...

Air‐Polishing Versus Ultrasonic Instrumentation for Nonsurgical Treatment of Peri‐Implantitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This RCT offers a nuanced understanding of nonsurgical peri‐implantitis management (air polishing with erythritol versus ultrasonic instrumentation, in combination with systemic metronidazole), integrating both clinical and patient‐centered outcomes. The results showed that the ultrasonic instrumentation reduced probing depth and bleeding on probing ...

Nanoparticles in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry: From Mechanisms to Clinical Applications

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Nanotechnology holds significant promise in improving dental care, yet there is a need for more reliable clinical studies to validate its effectiveness and safety. ABSTRACT Recent advances in nanotechnology are reshaping the landscape of periodontology and implant dentistry, particularly through the application of nanoparticles (NPs).

Dental Implant Rehabilitation Mitigates the Increased Mortality Risk Associated With Tooth Loss: A Population‐Based Study

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Fewer posterior masticatory units (PMUs) are associated with higher mortality, partly explained by diet quality. This association is attenuated by posterior prosthetic rehabilitation and is no longer evident when ≥ 5 PMUs are restored with implant‐supported prostheses. ABSTRACT Aim To (i) evaluate the association between posterior masticatory unit (PMU)
