Effect of access‐opening closure materials on fluid‐related mass gain and volumetric change in three‐dimensionally printed closed‐hollow obturator specimens

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate how denture base resin and access‐opening closure material affect fluid‐related mass gain and micro‐computed tomography‐derived volumetric changes in three‐dimensionally printed closed‐hollow obturator specimens. Materials and Methods Specimens were printed from NextDent Denture 3D+ or Apex Base resin.

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)

Tooth Loss and Edentulism Are Associated With Poorer Quality of Life: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analyses

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Tooth loss compromising functional dentition doubles the odds of poor oral health‐related quality of life (OR 2.08), while complete tooth loss nearly quadruples them (OR 3.99). These findings from a systematic review of population‐based studies underscore tooth preservation as a critical public health priority.

Prevalence of Bruxism in a Mixed Paediatric and Adult Population With Cognitive Impairment: A Large Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess the association between bruxism and cognitive impairment as well as the association between bruxism and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) risk in a mixed paediatric and adult population with cognitive impairment and the prevalence of malocclusion in this population. A cross‐sectional study was conducted on 400 patients (
