ABSTRACT Background: Age related changes in oral structures and nutritional deficiencies cause difficulties in wearing complete dentures amongst elderly adults Objective: To identify the impact of edentulism on nutritional status of eldrly adults. Methodology: To conduct the present study, information of existing literature are collected from textbooks, printed journals, and electronic databases such as pubmed, scopus, and science direct. Result: Prevalence of malnutrition rises with an increase in age. Edentulous subjects more likely to report trouble in chewing their food as compared to dentulous subjects. Edentulous subjects had significantly lower intake of calories, protein, carbohydrate, fibres, vitamins A, C,B1, and B6 . Intake of calcium and protein was lower in women with dentures than in dentate women. Compromised oral functional status was associated with lower serum albumin levels and lower BMI in functionally dependent elderly people. Conclusion: There is good quality evidence that edentulism is associated with poor diet and compromised nutrition.Although the majority of the studies cited here have not established a cause and effect relationship, results from Sheiham and others. However, more longitudinal studies on this topic are required to further understand the potential role of nutrition in the prevention of age related changes and reduce the failure of complete denture treatment in elderly adults.

Topical corticosteroids are the cornerstone in managing several dermatologic disorders, including plaque psoriasis.Managing plaque psoriasis warrants the use of an effective anti-inflammatory, antimitotic, antipruritic, and immunosuppressive agent, such as clobetasol propionate (CP). Recently, CP 0.025% cream received approval by United States food and drug administration (US FDA) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in adult patients. CP 0.025% cream has proven efficacious in chronic skin diseases, including controlling inflammation and pruritus, in various steroid-responsive dermatoses. In contrast to prior CP formulations, this novel CP 0.025% cream formulation does not contain propylene glycol, short-chain alcohols, and sorbitol-based emulsifiers, which are known contact allergens. The other beneficial attributes of this CP 0.025% cream formulation are high penetration of active ingredients and a lower degree of systemic absorption. This case series discusses the experience of using CP 0.025% cream in terms of its efficacy and safety in various dermatologic conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
