• Improving masticatory performance, bite force, nutritional state and patient’s satisfaction with implant overdentures : a systematic review of the literature

  22 décembre 2014, par G. C. Boven, G. M. Raghoebar, A. Vissink, H. J. A. Meijer
  Oral function with removable dentures is improved when dental implants are used for support. A variety of methods is used to measure change in masticatory performance, bite force, patient's satisfaction and nutritional state. A systematic review describing the outcome of the various methods to (...)

• Correlation between the levels of non-specific physical symptoms and pressure pain thresholds measured by algometry in patients with temporomandibular disorders

  22 décembre 2014, par D. Ramalho, L. Macedo, G. Goffredo Filho, C. Goes, R. Tesch
  Recent studies showed that patients with chronic TMD pain also feature increased sensitivity in other craniofacial regions, and even in remote peripheral areas, suggesting that nociceptive processing is centrally facilitated in this patient population. The aim of this study was to investigate (...)

  To investigate the influence of post length and amount of remaining root tissue on the fracture resistance of roots restored with fibre posts relined with resin composite. Ninety upper canine teeth were divided into nine groups (n = 10). The post spaces were prepared resulting in different (...)

• Reliability of intra-oral quantitative sensory testing (QST) in patients with atypical odontalgia and healthy controls – a multicentre study

  The reliability of comprehensive intra-oral quantitative sensory testing (QST) protocol has not been examined systematically in patients with chronic oro-facial pain. The aim of the present multicentre study was to examine test–retest and interexaminer reliability of intra-oral QST measures in (...)

• Occlusion on oral implants : current clinical guidelines

  22 décembre 2014, par K. Koyano, D. Esaki
  Proper implant occlusion is essential for adequate oral function and the prevention of adverse consequences, such as implant overloading. Dental implants are thought to be more prone to occlusal overloading than natural teeth because of the loss of the periodontal ligament, which provides shock (...)
