Prevalence of Dental Caries in Persons With or Without Long‐Term Experience of Positive Airway Pressure‐Treated Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oral dryness is common in persons with untreated obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) as well as in those using positive airway pressure (PAP). OSA with or without PAP treatment could therefore be a risk factor of dental caries. Objectives To describe and compare the prevalence of dental caries among persons with or without PAP‐treated OSA.

Association of Vitamin B6 and Homocysteine–ACTH Coupling With Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms in Burning Mouth Syndrome: An Exploratory Case–Control Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
In this exploratory case–control study, plasma PLP (vitamin B6), homocysteine and ACTH concentrations did not differ between patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and controls, and none discriminated patients individually. Within patients, however, psychological distress mapped onto a homocysteine–ACTH relationship from which PLP appeared ...

Comparative Study of Clinical Characteristics According to Pain Distribution in Lingual Burning Mouth Syndrome

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Tongue pain mapping in 256 patients with lingual burning mouth syndrome identified distinct clinical phenotypes according to pain distribution. Wider pain areas were associated with higher pain intensity and poorer oral health‐related quality of life, supporting individualised assessment and targeted management.

Salivary Viscosity as a Non‐Invasive Candidate Biomarker Associated With Aspiration Risk in Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Patients with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy exhibit disease‐specific salivary hyperviscosity that tracks with dysphagia severity and airway invasion. Non‐invasive chairside screening of salivary viscosity may enable clinicians to stratify aspiration risk during routine care to prevent severe pulmonary complications.
