Oral health conditions of institutionalized older adults and associated factors

ABCS health sci; 48 (), 2023
INTRODUCTION: The growth of the Brazilian older adult population has influenced the increased demand for institutionalization for this public, which usually has poor oral health conditions such as edentulism. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the oral health conditions and verify the variables related to the e...

Prosthetic maintenance assessment for implant fixed complete dentures and implant overdentures: a randomized clinical trial

Braz. dent. sci; 26 (2), 2023
Objective: The rehabilitation choice for the edentulous patients usually lies between the fixed and removable prosthetic options. The treatment decisions are affected by many factors where complications and maintenance needs are both considered crucial factors, in addition to the cost effect...

The possible association between the types of soft palate and gag reflex: a preliminary study

Braz. dent. sci; 26 (2), 2023
Objective: whether gag reflex, a common problem encountered during dental procedures, is associated with the different types of the soft palate has not been addressed so far. This preliminary study sought to assess the potential association between the different types of soft palate and gag reflex. Mate...

Mechanical behavior of implant-supported full-arch prostheses in different locations in the maxilla: 3D-FEA and strain gauge analysis

Braz. dent. sci; 26 (2), 2023
The maxillary bone restriction can limit the implants position to support a full-arch prosthesis. Objective:Therefore, this study evaluated the biomechanical behavior of a full-arch prosthesis supported by six implants in different configurations: group A (implants inserted in the region of...

Implant digital impression accuracy using extraoral scanners: a three-dimensional analysis

Braz. j. oral sci; 22 (), 2023
Aim: To analyze the accuracy of extraoral systems (Ceramill Map400+, AutoScan-DS200+, and E2) in full implantprosthetic rehabilitation three-dimensionally. Methods: A metallic edentulous maxilla with four implants was digitalized by a contact scanner (MDX-40 - Roland, control) and used as a control image...
