Masticatory Performance and its Relationship With Sarcopenia, Frailty and Functional Outcomes in Hospitalized Older Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
In 217 patients aged ≥ 70 years admitted to geriatric rehabilitation, poor oral function assessed by masticatory performance was common and often occurred without sarcopenia or frailty. Its independent association with functional outcomes suggests that pragmatic bedside assessment of masticatory performance adds value to routine geriatric assessment in

Domain‐Specific Oral Hypofunction in Older Adults With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: A Case–Control Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
In this case–control study of 288 adults aged ≥ 50 years, polysomnography‐confirmed obstructive sleep apnoea was independently associated with a domain‐specific pattern of oral hypofunction, particularly poor oral hygiene, oral dryness and reduced tongue pressure. In contrast, occlusal force and chewing function appeared to be predominantly age‐related.

Long‐Term Care of OLP Patients: A Retrospective Study From a Single Hospital Outpatient Clinic

Journal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic immune‐mediated disorder with malignant potential. However, its real‐world clinical course remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to describe the natural clinical–histopathological trajectory of OLP in a single tertiary centre and to identify factors associated with dysplasia and ...

Influence of nanohydroxyapatite mouthwash on the growth of Candida albicans biofilm on milled denture surfaces: An in vitro study

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose There is a need for effective solutions for the persistent prevalence of denture stomatitis (DS) in denture‐wearing populations. This study assessed the impact of nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHAP) nanoparticles on Candida albicans biofilm formation on milled polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture bases.

Effect of build orientation on the fabrication trueness of additively manufactured implant‐supported complete arch interim fixed prostheses

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate how build orientation affects the fabrication trueness of additively manufactured implant‐supported complete arch prostheses by comparing them to subtractively manufactured high‐impact polymer‐based prostheses. Materials and Methods An edentulous maxillary model with four implants at canine and first molar regions ...
