BackgroundIn COPD patients, fatal and non-fatal respiratory-related events are influenced by age, severity of respiratory disease, and comorbidities.ObjectivesAnalyze the effects of edentulism, periodontal disease and systemic biomarkers of inflammation on the occurrence of serious fatal and non-fatal respiratory-related events among subjects with COPD.MethodsCases were identified from Dental Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study. Edentulism was defined as study participants without any natural teeth or implants. Participants with one or more natural teeth (comprising 11,378 subjects) were studied as dentate subjects. Periodontal disease status among dentate individuals was determined using the consensus definitions published by the joint Center for Disease Control/American Association of Periodontology working group). Adjusted Hazard Models are developed to evaluate the relationship between edentulism/periodontal disease and COPD Related Events. Models were then stratified by GOLD Stage I, II and III/IV. Serum biomarkers were also evaluated to explore the effect of systemic inflammation.ResultsA statistically significant association was found between oral health status and COPD-related events, even adjusting for conditions such as hypertension, smoking and diabetes. Edentulous individuals who had been diagnosed with COPD had a higher incidence and were at greater risk of having a COPD related event (hospitalization and death) than individuals who had teeth and whose mouths had healthy periodontal status. However, being edentulous did not convey excess risk for COPD-related events for those study participants who were classified as GOLD III/IV at baseline. Finally, we showed that individuals who had levels of serum IL-6 in the highest two quartiles were at even higher risk for COPD-related events.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that the risk for COPD-related events after adjusting for potential confounders may be attributable to both edentulism and elevated serum IL-6 levels.

“…Candida carriage on acrylic resin has been reported in the literature as varying up to more than 80% of the investigated dentures. For instance, yeasts were found in 14% of isolates from previously worn dentures in the Northeast and Southwest regions of the United States (Glass, 2010); in their conclusions, the authors pointed out frequent denture use without appropriate disinfection and biofilm formation within the pores of the material. In a previous study (Vanden Abbeele et al, 2008), authors reported Candida contamination of upper prosthesis in 76% of denture wearers hospitalized for long-term care in geriatric units.…”

A atuação do dentista é decisiva tanto no tratamento reabilitador bem como na instrução e motivação do paciente quanto à higienização das próteses no momento de sua instalação e durante todo o seu uso. Cabe ao cirurgião-dentista conhecer os materiais e métodos empregados na manutenção da higiene bucal, selecioná-los e, de acordo com as peculiaridades de cada caso, motivar e orientar sua aplicação. Entretanto, o que se observa é uma difi culdade dos profi ssionais em utilizar um protocolo de controle de biofi lme na reabilitação bucal com próteses removíveis. O objetivo deste trabalho foi revisar a literatura acerca dos materiais e métodos disponíveis para a correta higiene das próteses removíveis. PALAVRAS-CHAVE A B S T R A C TThe role of the dentist is crucial both in rehabilitation treatment as well as in education and motivation of the patient regarding the hygiene of the prosthesis at the time of installation and throughout its use. It is important for the dentist to know the materials and methods used in maintaining oral hygiene, select them and motivate and guide their implementation according to the peculiarities of each case. However, it has been observed a diffi culty of professionals to use a biofi lm control protocol in oral rehabilitation with removable dentures. The objective of this study was to review the literature about the materials and methods available for the proper care of dentures.
