The Chemical Degradation of Denture Soft Lining Materials: A Study of The Interactions Between Denture Soft Lining Materials And Food Simulating Liquids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
PhDDenture soft lining materials are used as a cushion between the hard denture base and the oral mucosa. Fluid sorption and solubility may contribute to material hardening, roughening, cracking or tearing, loss of adhesion to the hard denture base or

Oral Health Needs Assessment of Non‐Institutionalized Older Adults in South Texas

open access: yesJournal of Public Health Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Older adults bear a heavy burden of oral disease, but data on their needs in areas like South Texas are limited. Assessing oral health and sociodemographic influences is key to guiding targeted public health efforts. Objectives This study assessed oral health needs among non‐institutionalized older adults in South Texas.

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)

Investigation into the formation and susceptibility of Candida albicans biofilms and denture plaque in vitro. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Microbial biofilms are wide-spread in nature and the organisms within them are often able to cause acute and chronic human diseases. The nature of biofilms is complex and the organisms behave differently from their planktonic counterparts.
