To investigate whether tooth loss was associated with regional grey matter volume (GMV) in a group of community dwelling older men and women from Ireland....
A group of 380 dementia-free men and women underwent a dental examination and had a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan as part of The Irish Longitudinal Study of Aging (TILDA). Cortical parcellatio...
The mean age of participants was 68.1 years (SD 7.3) and 51.6% of the group were female. 50 (13.2%) of the participants were edentulous, 148 (38.9%) had 1-19 teeth, and 182 (47.9%) had ≥20 teeth. Mult...
In this group of older men and women from Ireland, the number of teeth was associated with GMVs in the paracentral lobule and the cuneus cortex independent of various known confounders....
Although not proof of causation, the finding that tooth loss was associated with regional reduced GMV in the brain may represent a potential explanatory link to the observed association between tooth ...
Tooth loss is a risk factor for increased mortality; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the mediating effect of weight change on the relationship between t...
This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the changes in the number of teeth present and the number of healthy or filled surfaces between two time points....
Repeated cross-sectional data from population-based studies, namely the German Oral Health Studies (DMS-III vs. DMS-V), the Studies of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-START-0 vs. SHIP-TREND-0), and the Jönk...
The number of teeth increased between examinations (DMS: +2.26 [adults], +4.92 [seniors], SHIP: +1.67, Jönköping: +0.96). Improvements in education and dental awareness brought a positive change in al...
From this study, it can be concluded that education may be the most important factor having a direct and indirect effect on the outcomes. However, for better oral health, powered toothbrushing and int...
To examine the relationship between tooth loss and co-occurrence of multiple chronic conditions (MCC) among American adults at working age....
Data was from the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System 2018, a cross-sectional telephone-based, nationally representative survey of American adults. We included participants aged 25-64 years. T...
The analysis included 202,809 participants. The mean number of MCC was 0.86 (95% Confidence Interval 'CI':0.85,0.87). Tooth loss was significantly associated with MCC with rate ratio 1.18 (95% CI:1.15...
Tooth loss could be an early marker for the co-occurrence of multiple chronic conditions among adults of working age. The association could be attributed to common risk factors for oral and general he...
Many studies suggest associations between oral health and cardiovascular diseases, but there is a lack of causal evidence. Exploiting exogenous variation in tooth loss in US adults due to differential...
To examine the association between the level of marginalization and tooth loss in adults aged ≥50 years in Mexico....
A retrospective cross‑sectional study was conducted on 2098 adults selected from communities presenting both high and medium levels of marginalization, with data obtained from the annual reports of th...
Most (62.4%) participants had lost at least one tooth, of whom 60.3% had a medium level of marginalization, 28.8% a high level, and 10.9% a very high level. More adults who lived in high or very high ...
High and very high marginalization was associated with tooth loss in adults ≥50 years in Mexico. Effective oral health strategies are required to prevent tooth loss, as are interventions to improve ac...
To reduce the risk of unwanted post-treatment changes following orthodontic treatment, use of bonded retainers is gaining popularity. Despite their efficacy and popularity with patients, it has been w...
The aim of this analysis was to assess how different tooth-prognosis systems could predict tooth loss in a cohort of periodontitis patients followed up prospectively during supportive periodontal care...
Clinical and radiographic data of 97 patients undergoing regular SPC for 5 years were used to assign tooth prognosis using four different systems (McGuire & Nunn, 1996; Kwok & Caton, 2007; Graetz et a...
All four systems showed good reproducibility and could identify teeth at higher risk of being lost during 5 years of SPC; the risk of tooth loss increased with the worsening of tooth-prognosis categor...
Previously published periodontal prognostic systems exhibited good reproducibility and predictive ability for tooth retention. However, low sensitivity was detected, with several teeth in the worst pr...
To determine the extent to which individual and contextual variables explain income inequities in tooth loss in Brazilian adults....
A nationally representative sample of 65,784 Brazilian adults aged 18-59 who participated in the Brazilian National Health Survey 2019 was analyzed. Self-reported tooth loss was the outcome. Per capit...
Age-standardized tooth loss showed large income inequities. The average difference in tooth loss related to income inequities in the 18-34-year-old group was 0.50 (95% CI 0.39; 0.60), increasing to 4....
Individual and contextual covariates (proxy for human development level and water fluoridation coverage) explained a large share of income-related tooth loss inequities. Tailored strategies to act at ...
Investigate the effect of tamoxifen on the occurrence of tooth loss (TL) in breast cancer (BC) survivors....
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 140 BC survivors using tamoxifen therapy. Sociodemographic, medical, and dental data were evaluated. TL was determined using the M component of the Decayed, ...
Mean TL was 12.96 (SD 8.88). Only three participants had lost no teeth and 10.7% were completely edentulous. Participants who used tamoxifen for more than 1 year had a higher mean missing teeth (13.99...
Longer use of tamoxifen was associated with greater tooth loss in breast cancer survivors....
Based on estimates of the increase in cases of breast cancer, the prolonged use of tamoxifen for the treatment of this disease can exert an impact on oral health through the occurrence of tooth loss. ...
