Management of shortened dental arches and periodontal health: 5?year results of a randomised trial

The objective of this current analysis was to evaluate the influence of different treatments on periodontal health. Linear mixed regression models were fitted to quantify the differences between the treatment groups. The assessment at 5 years encompassed 59 patients (PRDP group) and 46 patients (SDA group). For the distal measuring sites of the posterior?most teeth of the study jaw, significant differences were found for the plaque index according to Silness and Löe, vertical clinical attachment loss (CAL?V), probing pocket depth (PPD) and bleeding on probing. These differences were small and showed a slightly more unfavourable course in the PRDP group. With CAL?V and PPD, significant differences were also found for the study jaw as a whole. For CAL?V, the estimated group differe…

Influences of multiple tooth?loss on signal travel in the insular cortex of rats

The insular cortex (IC) processes various kinds of sensory and emotional information. Multiple tooth?loss induces impairment of oral sensory and motor functions, which might result in the up? or down?regulation of signal processing in the IC. In the present study, we investigated how multiple tooth?loss affects neural activities in the IC. Slices of the IC were prepared from control (untreated) rats and rats raised following the loss of their upper molar teeth, and optical recordings with voltage?sensitive dye were made. Electrical stimulation was delivered to the agranular IC (AIC). The velocity of optical signal from the AIC to the granular IC (GIC) decreased in multiple tooth?loss rats compared with control rats. Field potentials from the GIC were recorded. Onset times of ev…
