Introduction: Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease and protests include decreased bone mineral and underlying tissue. Due to the prevalence of osteoporosis, especially in women and its complications, a study to evaluate the association of osteoporosis with tooth loss and oral dryness feeling in women with osteoporosis was designed. Materials and Methods:This cross sectional study was performed on 170 women referred to the center of bone densitometry of Fasa city. Data were collected using a valid questionnaire including standard questionnaire of xerostomia and demographic variables, also a clinical examination was carried out for determine the number of missing teeth. Then, the data were entered into the SPSS 19 and were analyzed. P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results:The findings of this study showed that there was significant relationship between osteoporosis and oral dryness feeling (p<0.001). But no significant difference was found between the two groups regarding average number of teeth missing (p=0/09). However, significant difference was found between age and number of missing teeth (p=0/02). Conclusion:The results showed that osteoporosis cannot be considered risk factors for tooth loss. But there is a positive relationship between osteoporosis and oral dryness feeling in women.

Removable partial or complete dentures exposed to beverages and mouthwashes: evaluation of microhardness and roughness Descritores: Prótese dentária; base de prótese; resina acrílica; enxaguantes bucais. AbstractPurpose: To evaluate microhardness and roughness of denture base polymethylmethacrylate resinn exposed to acid beverages and mouthwashes. Material and method: Rectangular samples (n=80) were prepared from poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). They were divided into 8 groups and had the initial microhardness and Knoop roughness measured. Samples of each group were immersed for 10 min into a test solution (coffee, lemon juice, chlorhexidine gluconate, red wine, cola-based soft drink, vinegar or antiseptic with and without alcohol) and after stored in artificial saliva for 23 h and 50 min, completing a period of 24 h. This procedure was performed for 14 consecutive days and after this period the microhardness and surface roughness measurements were made again. Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA non parametric, Kruskal-Walis and the Dunn´s test for microhardness and the t-Student and ANOVA for roughness. Result: For microhardness there were found statistically significant differences among the chlorhexidine gluconate solution, antiseptic without alcohol and cola-based soft drink. For roughness was observed that the mean values between the initial period and after immersion in the test products differed statistically in all groups, without difference among groups. Conclusion: The microhardness of poly(methyl methacrylate) was affected by continue exposition to chlorhexidine gluconate, antiseptic without alcohol and cola-based soft drink. The roughness of poly(methyl methacrylate) is negatively influenced by the exposure to all tested products. It may be concluded that both, microhardness and roughness, were affected by the treatments.

“…Poor oral hygiene causes dental caries and periodontal disease, and ultimately leads to the loss of teeth. Tooth loss leads not only to impaired mastication and deglutition, but also to a decline in physical and cognitive function 12) . Mastication plays an important role in normal growth of the jaw and dental arch, saliva secretion, digestion and immunity, and health maintenance 13) .…”

Intraoral electric potential <i>via</i> oral bacterial power generation —A novel mechanism of biofilm formation

et al. 2017

In the early stages of biofilm accumulation, the electric charge of the dental enamel and pellicle surfaces is known to be involved. We therefore investigated the relationship between oral hygiene and intraoral electric potential (IoP) in 45 male participants using a double-blind study. IoP, but not body surface electric potential, was loosely correlated with oral hygiene condition (Oral Hygiene Index; OHI). IoP was also loosely correlated with smartphone use; however, there was no significant correlation between smartphone use and OHI. IoP elevation might be caused by OHI elevation resulting from biofilm formation as an internal factor, with smartphone use as an external factor. This in vitro study revealed the generating capacity of Streptococcus mutans accompanied by biofilm accumulation using a microbial fuel cell. These results suggest that IoP elevation is caused by biofilm accumulation induced by power generation of oral bacteria, resulting in elevation of OHI.

Tooth Loss Associated with Physical and Cognitive Decline in Older Adults

Abstract: Total tooth loss was independently associated with physical and cognitive decline in older adults in England. Tooth loss is a potential early marker of decline in older age.
