Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Helping patients achieve an optimal quality of life through patient-centered treatment planning should be the ultimate goal of all oral health care providers. However, this issue extends beyond the realm of the individual clinician's office. This text presents quality-of-life research from various fields, including psychology, public health, and general health care; discusses how a patient-centered approach can be applied to basic oral and craniofacial research, clinical dental practice, community dental health issues, and dental education; and addresses how oral health-related quality of life relates to treating and understanding different patient populations, such as children with special needs, medically compromised patients, patients with oral cancer, and patients with chronic facial pain. Also discussed is how factors such as race/ethnicity, gender, and age can affect oral health-related quality-of-life concerns and treatment strategies. Finally, the book offers an outlook on the role that oral health-related quality of life will play in future research and dental education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by leaders in the field, this comprehensive step-by-step guide combines up-to-date clinical and research information that will help clinicians to advance their theoretical and clinical knowledge on mandibular implant overdentures. Furthermore, it describes treatment considerations for geriatric populations, covering all relevant aspects from physiology to treatment planning and patient management in the surgical and prosthetic phases. The phenomenon of aging is a global concern for policy makers, providers, and the public. Dentists worry especially about the burden their aging patients face to maintain their oral health-related quality of life and well-being. Furthermore, older patients require health care technologies that will enable them to maintain their oral health. Over the past few decades, mandibular implant-assisted complete prostheses have attracted the attention of both patients and clinicians, as research on the biological, functional, esthetic, and psychosocial benefits has increased. This book will be of value for all with an interest in the subject..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oral diseases not only affect the teeth and oral cavity but can also influence the well-being, self-esteem and overall quality of life of the individuals. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is a relatively new but rapidly growing notion. The concept of OHRQoL is particularly significant tool to understand and shape not only the state of clinical practice of dentistry, dental research, and dental education, but also that of the community at large. OHRQoL has an obvious role in clinical dentistry which translates into the clinicians' recognition that they do not treat teeth and gums, but human beings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavioral Dentistry, Second Edition, surveys the vast and absorbing topic of the role of behavioral science in the study and clinical practice of dentistry. An understanding of social sciences has long been a central part of dental education, and essential for developing a clinician’s appreciation of human behavior as it affects efficient dental treatment. This book gathers together contributions from leading experts in each of the major subspecialties of behavioral dentistry. Its aim is not merely to provide the student and clinician with a comprehensive review of the impressive literature or discussion of the theoretical background to the subject, but also with a practical guide to adapting the latest techniques and protocols and applying them to day-to-day clinical practice. This second edition of Behavioral Dentistry discusses biobehavioral processes, including the psychobiology of inflammation and pain, oral health and quality of life, saliva health, and hypnosis in dentistry. The book goes on to examine anxiety, fear, and dental and chronic orofacial pain, and then reviews techniques for designing and managing behavior change. It concludes with a section on professional practice, including care of special needs, geriatric, and diabetic patients, and interpersonal communication in dental education.

Download or read book Poor Oral Health and Quality of Life in U S Older Adults with Diabetes written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context: Older adults with diabetes are at increased risk of periodontal disease and poor dentition, which may affect overall health, functional status and quality of life. Objective: To determine the association between health-related quality of life and oral health among U.S. older adults with diabetes mellitus. Design, Setting and Participants: Study of a nationally representative sample of 70,363 U.S. older adults (aged ≥65 years) with diabetes, using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System 2006, 2008 and 2010. Main Outcome Measures: Health-related quality of life as measured by the Healthy Days Core Module. Results: Loss of permanent teeth from caries or periodontal disease was associated with increased odds of worse self-rated general health (adjusted OR=1.25, 95% CI 1.13-1.37). Lack of dental care in the preceding 12 months was associated with increased odds of worse self-rated general health (adjusted OR=1.34, 95% CI 1.25-1.44) compared to receiving dental care in the preceding 12 months. Poor dentition and longer time interval since last dental care were associated with increased number of physically unhealthy days. Older adults with diabetes had worse dentition and were less likely to receive recent dental care than older adults without diabetes. Conclusions: Health-related quality of life and oral health were worse in older adults with diabetes compared to older adults without diabetes.
Download or read book Root Caries From Prevalence to Therapy written by M. Rocha de Olivera Carrilho and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case reports and clinical trials conducted in various countries show, more and more frequently, a positive correlation between the presence of original teeth and prevalence of root caries in older age. Because this is a global trend, it is likely that the predicted increase in the worldwide elderly population may soon cause a significant increase in the number of people requiring effective means of preventing and treating root surface caries. In response to this development, a team of outstanding contributors has reviewed the most important aspects of root caries. This new volume presents their findings along with discussions of how to deal with this health issue that progressively affects the oral health balance. The chapters in this book are divided in four core parts: Epidemiology, Biological Determinants, Lesion Assessment and Features and Preventive and Operative Therapies. The collection of state-of-the-art articles provides a broad overview and will serve as a reference for clinicians as well as scientists and, hopefully, will encourage new research.
