Cowden Syndrome Associated with Severe Periodontal Disease: A Short Literature Review and a Case Report
Conclusion: Early diagnosis is crucial in patients affected by CS. The dentist may be the first to notice any atypical changes in the oral cavity and refer the patient for further examinations. Moreover, the mucosal and skin changes have a tendency to appear prior to the malignancies associated with the syndrome. This highlights the responsibility of the dentist in the early diagnosis of this progressive pathological syndrome. (Source: Oral health and Preventive dentistry)

Association Between the Severity of Malocclusion, Assessed by Occlusal Indices, and Oral Health Related Quality of Life: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Sun, Ling / Wong, Hai Ming / McGrath, Colman P.J.Page 211 - 223Purpose: To assess whether different levels of malocclusion have different effects on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and which domains of OHRQoL could be affected.Materials and Methods: Nine electronic databases were searched. To make studies comparable, studies using the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ) to measure OHRQoL, and the Dental Aesthetic Index, Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need, and Index of Complexity, Outcome and Need to measure malocclusion were selected for systematic review. Meta-analysis was performed to calculate the we...

Evaluation of the Fluoride Releasing and Recharging Abilities of Various Fissure Sealants
Khudanov, Bakhtinur Oybutaevich / Abdullaev, Jakhongir Ravshanovich / Bottenberg, Peter / Schulte, Andreas GerhardPage 195 - 202Purpose: To evaluate the fluoride release from different fissure sealants sold mainly in non-Western countries via a curve-fitting method, and to investigate the ability of these materials to be recharged with fluoride.Materials and Methods: Four different fissure sealants which the manufacturers claim to release F- were tested; glass-ionomer cement Argecem (AC), the composite resins Fisskhim (FK), Fissulight (FL), Helioseal F (HF). Helioseal (HS), a composite resin not declared to release F, was ...

Artificial Mucin-based Saliva Preparations - Physicochemical and Tribological Properties
Conclusion: Among the tested compositions, saliva substitutes based only on mucin were found to have parameters similar to human whole saliva. Mucin saliva preparations may have wide applicability for patients with e.g. xerostomia or patients using a metal prosthesis. (Source: Oral health and Preventive dentistry)

Antibacterial Effect and Substantivity of Toothpaste Slurries In Vivo
Arweiler, Nicole Birgit / Grelle, Friederike / Sculean, Anton / Heumann, Christian / Auschill, Thorsten M.Page 175 - 181Purpose: This double-blind, clinical, cross-over study evaluated the antibacterial effect of three toothpastes (ASF, HTP and STP) and a chlorhexidine mouthrinse (0.2%; CHX; positive control) after a single application on established biofilm over a period of 24 h (substantivity).Materials and Methods: Twenty-four subjects refrained from all oral hygiene measures for a period of 72 h. After 48 h, a baseline biofilm sample was taken and vitality of the biofilm flora was examined (baseline, VF0). Then they ri...

Effect of Paneer and Cheese Consumption on Salivary Acidogenicity and Calcium Concentration: A Comparative Study
Somaraj, Vinej / Shenoy, Rekha P. / Panchmal, Ganesh Shenoy / Jodalli, Praveen S. / Sonde, Laxminarayan / Nagaraj, KundapurPage 169 - 174Purpose: To assess and compare the salivary pH reversal phenomenon and calcium concentration in subjects consuming paneer and cheese after an acidogenic challenge and also to compare the salivary pH measurements using pH strips and a portable pen-type pH meter.Material and Methods: Sixty caries free undergraduate students were randomly selected and divided into two group: 1. paneer; 2. cheese. After determining the resting salivary pH using pH strips and a pen-type pH meter, participants ...

Oral Health Behaviour and Oral Health Status of Elderly Vietnamese
Nguyen, Minh Son / Jagom ägi, Triin / Voog-Oras, Ülle / Nguyen, Toai / Saag, MarePage 153 - 161Purpose: To describe oral health behaviours and problems among elderly Vietnamese as well as determine their prevalence of caries and periodontal disease.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study examined 258 elderly persons aged 65-74 years living in Danang, Vietnam. All subjects self-reported oral health behaviour and problems. Dental caries was assessed using the DMFT index. Periodontal status was evaluated with the modified Community Periodontal Index, whereby all teeth were examined for gingival bleeding and period...

Erosive Tooth Wear and Dietary Patterns: A Clinical Study
Conclusion: Vegetarian and lacto-ovo vegetarian dietary patterns seem to favour the loss of dental structure by erosion. Vegetarian patients should thus be informed about preventive measures and treated accordingly. (Source: Oral health and Preventive dentistry)

Change in the Caries Status of Pregnant Women in Southeast Hungary and Its Background
Conclusion: The lower DMFT and DMFS values and the participants' willingness to participate in the dental screening in the present study group were probably the result of their higher educational background and that they worked as professionals. (Source: Oral health and Preventive dentistry)

In-office Treatments for Dentin Hypersensitivity: A Randomized Split-mouth Clinical Trial
Conclusion: When an immediate desensitising effect is desired after one single application, fluoride varnish and potassium oxalate should be used. High-power diode laser and self-etching adhesive may not be clinically considered an appropriate desensitising therapy after one single application. (Source: Oral health and Preventive dentistry)

Promoting Oral Health and Quality of Life of Older People - The Need for Public Health Action
Conclusions: In 2015, the WHO published the World Report on Ageing and Health, which outlines a framework for action to foster healthy ageing. The policies are highly relevant to the improvement of oral health. Transformation of oral health systems away from a disease-based curative model and towards disease prevention, as well as the provision of older-person-centred integrated care are required. Moreover, wide-ranging public health action on ageing is urgently needed. (Source: Oral health and Preventive dentistry)
