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.

Download or read book Oral Health and Aging written by Christie-Michele Hogue and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive review of the assessment and management of older people’s oral health care needs. Discussing recent initiatives to emphasize oral health promotion and prevention, the book describes improvements in pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches for special populations in geriatrics and illuminates the role of barriers to oral health care for older people. Divided into three sections, the book first explores aging and oral health, including age-related changes, epidemiology, nutrition, dysphagia, aspiration pneumonia, xerostomia and hyposalivation, management of periodontal disease and caries, systemic diseases that influence oral health, and considerations for chronic orofacial pain. The second section illuminates the ways in which frailty and other geriatric syndromes influence oral health care in older adults with a special focus on frailty, dementia, delirium and depression, and the delivery of oral health care to vulnerable geriatric populations in long-term care, home care, palliative care, and hospice. Lastly, the book addresses inequalities in the oral health of older minority populations, the disproportionate burden of oral disease and tooth loss, the contribution of these issues to further complications in comorbidities, the association of extended health literacy and periodontal disease, and the social and cultural conditions that might be altered or improved by healthcare programs and health policies. Oral Health and Aging is a useful book written by an international group of experts and designed to educate geriatricians, primary care physicians, nurses, dentists, dental hygienists, speech and language pathologists, dietitians, and health policy advocates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the science behind the diseasea comprehensive approach to modern caries management This systematic approach to modern caries management combines new, evidence-based treatment techniques with the scientific underpinnings of caries formationproviding an in-depth review for both clinicians in daily practice and students advancing in the field. Beginning with patho-anatomic changes in the dental hard tissues, Dental Caries: Science and Clinical Practice goes on to cover non-invasive, minimally invasive, and more aggressive interventions based on each stage of the disease. From microbiology and histology to visual, tactile and radiographic diagnosis, risk assessment, preventive measures, and tooth preservation and treatment strategies, the book is packed with valuable clinical information for all dental practitioners. Key Features: Succinctly covers the science behind the disease, with recommendations for treatments based on assessment starting at the microscopic level Written by a team of leading worldwide authorities on caries treatment and managementand utilizing the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) standard throughout Covers the newest treatment techniques, including adhesion technology, fissure sealing and infiltration, caries removal, tooth-colored restorations, and more Demonstrates step-by-step caries procedures in striking, full-color illustrations of adult and pediatric cases Offers the newest thinking on early prevention and behavioral changes in oral health promotion, including the role of diet and nutrition, biofilm management, fluoride use, population-based approaches, and more Shifting to the new paradigm of heal and seal rather than the more invasive drill and fill, this beautifully illustrated text puts scientific principles into clinical action for the best results. It is an essential resource for a complete, proactive approach to caries detection, assessment, treatment, management, and prevention in contemporary dental practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the possible association between root caries incidence and mortality in a random sample of North Carolina black and white community-dwelling older adults. Data were collected from two databases: Duke Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (EPESE) and the Piedmont 65+ Dental Study (PDS). The EPESE study provided mortality data and information pertaining to medical, social, and sociodemographic data. The PDS assessed root caries incidence and other conditions pertaining to oral health. Inclusion criteria for the present study required that each subject had to be examined at least two times during an 84-month period, retain at least one natural tooth, and not have any contraindications for periodontal probing. A total of 646 subjects met the study criteria and were included in the data analysis. Dental exams were conducted in each of the participants' homes. The dental exams were scheduled at baseline, 18-months, 36 months, 60 months, and 84 months. The exposure variable was root caries incidence. The outcome variable was death due to all causes and cardiovascular disease. Other variables used in the study included educational level, geographic community, age, sex, race, functional indices, cognitive state, tobacco use, and medical conditions. Final multivariable risk models were composed of those variables that were significant or confounded the association of root caries and mortality. Odds ratios and hazards ratios with 95% confidence intervals were derived from logistic regression and Cox's partial likelihood regression models respectively. Results showed that root caries incidence was predictive of mortality due to all causes with both the continuous (OR 1.16, CI. 1.02, 1.31 and dichotomized (OR 1.94, CI. 1.22, 3.08) exposure variable. Similar findings were seen with the survival models. This association was independent of other explanatory variables in the risk models. In conclusion, root caries i.
