Abstract
OBJECTIVES This prospective clinical study aimed to determine the influence of oral prosthodontic rehabilitation with partial removable dentures and simplified dietary advice on glycaemic control, nutritional status and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of older adults with type 2 diabetes. BACKGROUND Individuals with tooth loss who did not wear complete or partial dentures are more likely to be at nutritional risk, suggesting that using dental prostheses would benefit the re-establishment of an adequate nutritional status and potentially improve quality of life. Nutritional therapy is essential for diabetes prevention, treatment and management, favouring glycaemic control. The literature provides little evidence on the contribution of partial removable dentures to improving diabetes control, nutritional profile and satisfaction in older adults, especially those with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Older individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, aged 60 years or older and needing oral rehabilitation with partial removable dentures were eligible for this prospective study. The primary outcome measure was glycaemic control, measured by glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire and the Mini Nutritional Assessment short-form (MNA-SF) represented secondary outcome measures. These measures were assessed at baseline and 12 months of follow-up after prosthesis delivery, combined with simple dietary advice in pamphlet form. The data were analysed using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs test. RESULTS Forty-four patients who met the inclusion criteria and required treatment with removable partial dentures were selected for this study, which was carried out for a year. During this period, seven participants declined to participate because they moved to another city. Hence, a final sample of 37 participants (16 men and 21 women, average age of 65.8 years, ranging from 60 to 83 years) were included in the study. No laboratory parameter (HbA1c levels) changed significantly during the investigation. The number of older adults at risk of malnutrition was significantly lower at 12 months than at baseline. Furthermore, nutritional status significantly improved 12 months after prosthodontic treatment combined with dietary advice, and the effect sizes were large. OHRQoL significantly improved after prosthodontic therapy combined with dietary advice. CONCLUSIONS Prosthodontic treatment with partial dentures associated with simple dietary advice did not influence glycaemic control but improved the nutritional status and OHRQoL of older adults with type 2 diabetes.

Oral health-related quality of life of conventional removable partial dentures, unilateral nonmetal clasp dentures, and shortened dental arch with 2- or 3-tooth unilateral distal extension tooth loss in the mandible: A randomized, crossover, clinical trial. J Prosthet Dent 2024; 131:220-226. [PMID: 35697550 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2021.07.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2020] [Revised: 07/07/2021] [Accepted: 07/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Conventional removable partial dentures with metal clasps are still a common option for patients with distal-extension tooth loss. However, unilateral nonmetal clasp dentures fabricated by using a thermoplastic denture base resin are increasingly being used. Furthermore, the shortened dental arch concept remains controversial, in spite of being advocated for many years. Nevertheless, these treatment options remain controversial, particularly in patients with the loss of a few distal teeth unilaterally. PURPOSE The purpose of this randomized, crossover, clinical trial was to investigate the oral health-related quality of life of participants who requested a new dental prosthesis (unilateral nonmetal clasp dentures or conventional removable partial dentures) at a private practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS A 3-period, randomized, crossover design was used in a within-subject, controlled, clinical trial. Twenty-four participants (mean age 59.0 years [7 men: 62.6 {45-85} years; 17 women: 57.5 {24-75} years]) were enrolled. All experimental procedures were approved by the Ethics Committee of Nagasaki University Hospital (#15022313) and registered in the International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number registry (ISRCTN49105064). All participants were fully dentate in the maxilla and had unilateral distal-extension loss of 2 or 3 teeth in the mandible. Participants were allocated to 1 of 6 groups and treated with prescribed options in accordance with their allocated sequences and used a dental prosthesis or nothing for 2-week periods. At the end of each intervention, the participants were asked to answer the Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire. Differences in Oral Health Impact Profile scores among groups were estimated with a mixed-effects model (α=.05). RESULTS Total Oral Health Impact Profile scores were higher for unilateral nonmetal clasp dentures (P=.002) and shortened dental arch (P=.049) than for conventional removable partial dentures, with medium and small effects. The unilateral nonmetal clasp dentures had a similar effect compared with shortened dental arch (P>.05). unilateral nonmetal clasp dentures (P=.011) and shortened dental arch (P=.005) demonstrated medium effects in the oral function dimension compared with conventional removable partial dentures. Unilateral nonmetal clasp dentures exhibited large and medium effects in the orofacial appearance dimension compared with conventional removable partial dentures (P=.001) and shortened dental arch (P=.006). In the orofacial pain dimension, shortened dental arch showed effects similar to those of conventional removable partial dentures and unilateral nonmetal clasp dentures (P>.05), and no significant differences were observed in the psychosocial impact dimension (P>.05), but the unilateral nonmetal clasp denture score was lower than the conventional removable partial denture score, with a small effect. Men had significantly lower total Oral Health Impact Profile scores for shortened dental arch than women (P=.033). CONCLUSIONS Unilateral nonmetal clasp dentures and shortened dental arch were better than conventional removable partial dentures for the oral health-related quality of life of individuals with unilateral distal-extension tooth loss in the mandible, and sex had a significant effect on removable prosthetic planning.

J Prosthet Dent 2023; 130:698-704. [PMID: 35042607 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2021.12.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2021] [Revised: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Knowledge of the effect of a shortened dental arch on masseter muscle thickness and occlusal force is sparse but could help clinicians understand how a shortened dental arch might affect the stomatognathic system. PURPOSE The purpose of this pilot clinical study was to evaluate and compare the masseter muscle thickness and occlusal force of participants rehabilitated by using a shortened dental arch with matched completely dentate individuals. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twelve partially edentulous participants with a minimum of 1 posterior occluding pair on each side of the arch were enrolled in the study. The mandibular arch of these participants was rehabilitated by using a single posterior mandibular implant crown (group S). The maxillary arch of all participants in group S was intact. Masseter muscle thickness (cm) and occlusal force (N) were recorded before (T1) and 6 months after implant rehabilitation (T2) for each participant. Twelve participants were selected as controls (group C). They were matched for age, sex, height, and weight with group S and evaluated for masseter muscle thickness and occlusal force. Masseter muscle thickness was evaluated by using ultrasonography during the rest position and maximum volumetric clenching. Occlusal force was measured with an occlusal force measuring appliance. All recordings were done for the left and right sides of the arch. Descriptive analysis was followed by comparison between groups and within group S by using the paired t test (α=.05). RESULTS Higher masseter muscle thickness and higher occlusal force were observed in group C than in group S before and after rehabilitation. An increase in masseter muscle thickness in the rest position and in maximum volumetric clenching was observed within group S after rehabilitation. Before rehabilitation, a difference in the masseter muscle thickness between group S and group C was statistically significant for the left side at the rest position (P=.017) and during maximum volumetric clenching (P=.016). After rehabilitation, the difference between group S and group C was not statistically significant for masseter muscle thickness at the rest position (P=.890 for right side and P=.555 for left side) and during maximum volumetric clenching (P=.109 for right side and P=.755 for left side). The difference in occlusal force between group S and group C was statistically significant for the right side and left side (P<.001) before rehabilitation and statistically not significant after rehabilitation (P=.161 for the right side and P=.134 for the left side). CONCLUSIONS Rehabilitation following the concept of a shortened dental arch increased masseter muscle thickness and occlusal force in partially edentulous individuals, making the masseter muscle thickness and occlusal force comparable with those of a completely dentate arch.

Abstract
Aim Aim of this in vivo study was to assess the impact of two rehabilitation philosophies namely; Pankey Mann Schuyler (PMS) & Hobo Twin Stage (HOBO) on Oral Health-related Quality of life (OHRQoL) using Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP 14). Settings and Design This was a randomized clinical trial. Material and Methods This study was designed based on the PICOT model. 40 patients were selected who need to undergo complete mouth rehabilitation. The intervention performed was complete mouth rehabilitation therapy and the results were compared with that of no intervention. The outcome was assessed in terms of improvement in mastication, phonetics, esthetics and overall OHRQoL (OHIP-14) over a period of 01 year at intervals of 48 hrs, 01 mon, 6 mon and 12 months. Patients were unaware of the treatment philosophy being used and were given a questionnaire (OHIP-14); at baseline (pre-treatment) and 48 hrs, 1, 6 and 12 months after completion of treatment (post-treatment) to evaluate OHRQoL. The data was collected by independent reviewers blinded to the regimen followed making the participants and the outcome assessors blinded to the procedure. Statistical Analysis Independent Student's t-test and Chi-Square test were used for analysis. Result Analysis illustrated significant differences in scores obtained pre-treatment and post-treatment in both groups at 12 months (P < 0.05). At 12 months, OHIP-14 scores showed a mean percentage change of 51% in Group A (PMS); (P = 0.001) and a mean percentage change of 49% in group B (Hobo). Conclusion Complete mouth rehabilitation therapy for management of generalized attrition or mutilated dentition is a viable and effective treatment option and brings about definitive improvement in Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and overall health status of an individual.

Abstract
This paper reviews the literature to assess the effectiveness of oral health interventions in influencing oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in older adults. Clinical studies published in 2010 onwards reporting oral health interventions in older adults and subsequent changes in OHRQoL were systematically searched in Medline, Web of Science and EMBASE databases. Reporting followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis criteria. Eligibility evaluation and data abstraction from eligible studies were guided by predefined PICO questions and bias assessment by the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. The search retrieved 144 articles. Of the 20 articles that met the eligibility criteria, 45% (9) reported a statistically significant improvement in OHRQoL. The majority of studies were conducted in adults with complete edentulism (70%) and mainly focused on implant provision to support a removable prosthesis (30%). The search indicates the limited scope of current literature on geriatric dental interventions, focusing mainly on denture realignments, denture fabrication and implant placement. Although the majority of the oral health interventions focused on edentulism and removable prostheses, there are many areas of oral health interventions and their potential impact on OHRQoL in this demographic group that have yet to be explored.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This scoping review describes the relationship between tooth retention, health, and quality of life in older adults. METHODS Seven databases were searched for English language articles for subjects ≥ 65 y from 1981 to 2021. Exposure was tooth retention (≥ 20), and outcomes were general/systemic health and quality of life. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool. RESULTS 140 articles were included, only four were randomized trials. Inter-rater agreement (κ) regarding study inclusion was 0.924. Most were assessed with low risk of bias (n = 103) and of good quality (n = 96). Most studies were conducted in Japan (n = 60) and Europe (n = 51) and only nine in the US. Tooth retention was referred to as "functional dentition" in 132 studies and "shortened dental arch" in 19 studies. Study outcomes were broadly synthesized as (1) cognitive decline/functional dependence, (2) health status/chronic diseases, (3) nutrition, and (4) quality of life. DISCUSSION There is a positive relationship between tooth retention, overall health, and quality of life. Older adults retaining ≥ 20 teeth are less likely to experience poorer health. Having < 20 teeth increases the likelihood for functional dependence and onset of disability, and may affect successful ageing. This review supports the general finding that the more teeth older adults retain as they age, the less likely they are to have adverse health outcomes. However, significant knowledge gaps remain which can limit decision-making affecting successful ageing for many older adults. This review highlights the need to consider, as an important marker of oral health and function, the retention of a functional minimum of a natural dentition, rather than a simple numeric score of missing teeth.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19074345. [PMID: 35410030 PMCID: PMC8998208 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19074345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 04/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/03/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of different cleansing solutions on the retention of precision attachments. A precision attachment patrix was embedded into acrylic resin and the matrix was placed onto the patrix. The red (high retention, 8 N), yellow (regular retention, 6 N), and green (reduced retention, 4 N) plastic matrixes of the attachments (n = 32) were soaked in three different denture cleansing solutions (sodium laureth sulfate, sodium bicarbonate-sodium perborate, sodium bicarbonate) for a duration simulating 6 months of clinical use. The control group was soaked in tap water. A universal testing machine was used to measure the retention values of attachments after they were soaked in denture cleansers. The retention values were compared among the groups with repeated-measures analysis of variance followed by the Tukey HSD test (p = 0.05). Yellow attachments were affected by sodium laureth sulfate, sodium bicarbonate-sodium perborate, and water (p = 0.012). Green attachments’ retention increased after immersion in sodium laureth sulfate (p = 0.04) and water (p = 0.02). Red attachments’ retention increased after immersion in sodium laureth sulfate or sodium bicarbonate-sodium perborate (p = 0.045). Water did not affect the retention of red attachments. Because sodium bicarbonate tablets did not affect the retention of attachments, clinicians may recommend their use as a cleanser. Clinicians also may inform patients using fixed and removable partial prostheses with precision attachments of a possible increase in retention after the use of sodium laureth sulfate or when using sodium bicarbonate-sodium perborate with yellow and red attachments.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to explore the factors related to oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in elderly patients who underwent prosthetic treatment with removable dentures through several objective and subjective examinations and to analyze their interrelationships. METHODS The current study involved 78 denture wearers, aged 65 years or above, who underwent treatment at the clinic of prosthodontics and undertook routine checkups. The present study used eight age-matched patients with healthy dentition as controls. The following items were evaluated: OHRQoL (Oral Health Impact Profile), main occluding area, maximal occlusal force, masticatory performance, and masticatory ability. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to assess the correlation between the OHIP score and each item and multiple linear regression analysis with the backward elimination method was used to analyze the factors affecting the OHIP score (α = 0.05). RESULTS The OHIP summary score was significantly correlated with the number of occlusal supports, number of remaining teeth, maximal occlusal force, and the masticatory ability score. The multiple regression analysis revealed that the number of occlusal supports, the number of remaining upper teeth, whether the upper main occluding area was the remaining tooth or not, and the masticatory ability score were the significant independent variables that affected the OHIP summary scores. CONCLUSIONS The present study verified the relationship between the OHRQoL and the occlusion of remaining teeth or the items derived from the main occluding areas. The current results suggest that retaining the maxillary first molar is a key factor in the OHRQoL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few long-term studies on treatments in the shortened dental arch (SDA) are available. OBJECTIVE The objective of this trial was to analyse the long-term success of two different treatment concepts. METHODS Patients over 35 years of age with missing molars in one jaw and at least the canine and one premolar present on both sides were eligible. In the partial removable dental prosthesis (PRDP) group (N = 81), molars and missing second premolars were replaced by a precision attachment retained prosthesis. In the SDA group (N = 71), the dental arch ended with the second premolar that had to be present or replaced by a cantilever fixed dental prosthesis. Follow-up examinations were carried out over 15 years. RESULTS A comprehensive outcome variable comprised four failure categories for which Kaplan-Meier survival (success) analyses were conducted. Half of the patients exhibited a continuous preservation of the per protocol prosthetic status that remained totally unaffected by complications for more than 10 years. The event-free success rates for moderate or worse failure implied a loss of the per protocol prosthetic status. The respective survival rates fell below 50% at 14.2 years in the PRDP group and 14.3 years in the SDA group. In none of the analyses, a significant group difference was found. CONCLUSIONS In patients with an SDA condition, changes in the prosthetic status have to be expected. The affected proportion increases almost linearly from shortly after treatment and comprises the majority after 15 years. The influence of the examined treatments on success appears to be low.

Oral function and its association with nutrition and quality of life in nursing home residents with and without dementia: A cross-sectional study. Gerodontology 2021; 38:404-413. [PMID: 33521997 PMCID: PMC9291735 DOI: 10.1111/ger.12535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2020] [Revised: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 01/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Background Oral health problems increase with age, and are common in nursing home residents, especially in those with dementia. These problems can lead to tooth loss, diminished oral function and malnutrition. Objectives To compare oral function, nutritional status and quality of life (QoL) between residents with and without dementia, and to examine associations between these variables. Methods Cross‐sectional study conducted in four UK nursing homes. Residents aged 65 + with and without dementia were included. Information was collected on demographics, dental status, quality of swallowing and chewing, xerostomia and orofacial pain. During oral examination, information was collected on number of teeth and occlusal units (OU), and functional categories (eg, OU combined with dentures). Multiple linear regression was used for statistical analysis. Results Of 84 residents with and 27 without dementia participated. Residents with dementia had significantly fewer teeth (Dementia median (IQR) = 14 (6‐21), vs No dementia 22 (12.75‐24.25); P = .021), fewer OU (Dementia median (IQR) = 0 (0‐3), vs No dementia 4 (0‐7); P = .001) and poorer functional categories (Z = −3.283; P = .001), and nutritional status was significantly poorer than those without (Dementia Mean (SD) = 8.3 (2.7), vs No dementia 10.4 (2.0); P = .002). In the regression model, quality of chewing (Coef (95% CI) = −1.27 (−2.22, −0.31); P = .010) was significantly correlated with nutritional status. Conclusion Oral function and nutritional status of residents with dementia was poorer than those without. Almost half of all residents had insufficient oral function, which was negatively associated with QoL and nutritional status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The number of people aged 65 years or older is growing substantially. As a result of increased health burden and tooth retention, more oral health problems are expected in this age group. A poor oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL) can compromise a person's psychological state, social relationships, personal beliefs, and physical health. The aim of this systematic review was to identify oral health factors associated with OHQoL in people aged 65 years or older and to give a comprehensive overview of the body of literature for each oral health factor separately. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A comprehensive search was performed in five databases. The following terms were used as index terms or free-text words: "Oral Health," "Quality of Life," "Older People." Two researchers independently assessed studies for eligibility based on predefined criteria. RESULTS Of 3,702 references retrieved from the databases, 68 studies were eligible and included (9 randomized clinical trials, 6 cohort studies, and 53 cross-sectional studies). All results were reported descriptively. OHQoL in people aged 65 years or older is positively associated with higher number of teeth, higher number of occluding pairs, implant-retained overdentures, and the shortened dental arch concept and negatively associated with xerostomia, orofacial pain, and poor chewing ability. In the current literature, there is no consensus on the association between edentulism, caries, and periodontal conditions and OHQoL. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS Having a functional dentition (either natural or prosthetic) is important for a good OHQoL, whereas painful or functional complaints are associated with impaired OHQoL.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Studies on the impact of incorporating attachments in removable prostheses on patient-based outcomes are scarce. PURPOSE The purpose of this clinical study was to investigate oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and patient satisfaction in partially edentulous participants before and after rehabilitation with mandibular attachment-retained removable prostheses as compared with conventional removable prostheses. MATERIAL AND METHODS This crossover study included 74 participants (aged 36 to 57). Initially, 56 received conventional clasp-retained removable dental prostheses (RDPs), and 18 received conventional overdentures (ODs) based on their mandibular partially edentulous state. Two months later, of the 56 RDP participants, 24 had received extracoronal attachment-retained RDPs, 17 received telescope-retained RDPs, and 15 received bar-attachment retained RDPs. The 18 OD participants received ball attachment-retained ODs. Assessments included Oral Health Impact Profile-short version-14 for OHRQoL and a visual analog scale (VAS) for patient satisfaction. Assessments were done before treatment and 2 months after wearing each prosthesis with a 1-month washout period. Statistical analysis included the Friedman then the Wilcoxon signed rank test for Oral Health Impact Profile-short version-14 scores and repeated measures ANOVA then the Bonferroni or paired t test for VAS scores (α=.05). RESULTS There were no dropouts. Rehabilitation, irrespective of prosthesis type, significantly improved OHRQoL in all domains and significantly increased overall patient satisfaction (P<.05). When compared with the conventional prostheses, attachment-retained prostheses significantly improved functional limitation, psychological discomfort, and physical limitation domains in all groups (P<.05), as well as the physical pain domain in the OD group (P=.041). General satisfaction, stability, comfort, ability to speak, and ability to masticate significantly increased (P<.05) with attachment-retained prostheses. Conventional prostheses were significantly easier to clean (P<.05) in all groups, except for the telescope-attachment group. CONCLUSIONS Both conventional and attachment-retained prostheses significantly increased patient satisfaction and improved OHRQoL in all domains as compared with before treatment. However, incorporation of attachments further improved functional limitation, psychological discomfort, and physical limitation domains in all groups, as well as the physical pain domain in the OD group. Participants were more satisfied with their attachment-retained prostheses in most aspects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the success of two different tooth replacement strategies for partially dentate older adults; namely resin bonded bridgework (RBB) provided to restore patients according to the principles of the shortened dental arch concept (SDA) and conventional full-arch rehabilitation with removable dental prostheses (RDPs). METHODS A randomised controlled clinical trial (RCT) was conducted with partially dentate adults aged 65 years or older. Each patient from the RDP group had all missing natural teeth replaced with cobalt-chromium framework RDPs. Each patient from the SDA group was restored to 10 occluding pairs of natural and replacement teeth using RBB. Patients were followed-up at 6, 12, 24, 36 months. Success rates were generated according to defined success criteria. Log-rank tests and Cox's proportional hazard models were used to compare the success of the two treatment strategies. RESULTS After 36 months, 89 patients completed the RCT; n = 45 in the RDP group and n = 44 in the SDA group. The overall success rate of the SDA treatment was 90.4% compared to 73.0% for RDPs (p = 0.005). In the upper arch SDA treatment was 100% successful compared to 86.4% for RDPs (p = 0.019). In the lower arch, lower success rates were reported for both the SDA treatment (80.0%) and RDPs (60.0%) (p = 0.054). Further analyses with cox's proportional hazard models demonstrated that SDA treatment was significantly more successful than RDPs (Hazard Ratio: 2.47, p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS After 36 months SDA treatment using RBB was significantly more successful than RDPs used for conventional full-arch rehabilitation in partially dentate older adults. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Functionally orientated treatment according to the principles of the SDA is a feasible alternative to RDPs for partially dentate older patients. SDA treatment using RBB can achieve higher success rates compared to RDPs in this patient group.

Abstract
Across the globe the population is ageing. In addition, older patients are retaining increasing numbers of natural teeth into old age. Therefore, clinicians are faced with the challenges of managing chronic dental diseases, including caries and periodontal disease, alongside replacing missing units. A number of treatment options are available to replace missing teeth for such patients with large numbers currently receiving removable partial dentures. Alternative approaches to treatment should be considered for this population group, including functionally orientated tooth replacement according to the principles of the shortened dental arch concept. In correctly chosen cases, this approach can provide patients with an acceptable, functional and aesthetic reduced dentition. Additionally, evidence suggests that such an approach can significantly reduce the maintenance burden for patients and clinicians which can ultimately deliver a more cost effective solution compared to removable alternatives.

Abstract
Objectives To analyze the oral health-related impact profile in patients treated with three different types of dental prosthesis in student courses. Materials and Methods This prospective bicenter clinical trial was conducted with 151 patients being treated with fixed (n = 70), removable (n = 61), or telescopic dental prostheses (n = 20) in clinical student courses of two German universities from October 2018 to October 2019. All patients completed three standardized German versions of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-G49/53) before prosthetic treatment (T0), at control after 1 week (T1), and after 3 months (T2), divided into five dimensions: (a) appearance, (b) oral function, (c) psychosocial impact, (d) linguistic limitations, and (e) orofacial pain. Data were analyzed with Kolmogorov–Smirnov, Wilcoxon signed-rank, Kruskal–Wallis, Mann–Whitney, and Cronbach’s alpha tests. Results Within T0–T1 and T0–T2, greater improvements were determined for removable compared with fixed dental prostheses for the dimensions’ oral function (p ≤ 0.014), linguistic limitations (p ≤ 0.016), and appearance (p ≤ 0.003). No significant differences were found between fixed and telescopic dental prostheses (p ≥ 0.104) or between removable (partial dental prosthesis with clasps and complete dental prosthesis) and telescopic dental prostheses (p ≥ 0.100). Within T1–T2, a significant improvement in orofacial pain could be determined (p = 0.007). Conclusions Restorations presented an improvement in oral health-related quality of life. Removable dental prostheses showed better improvement than fixed ones in various dimensions. Clinical relevance Knowledge about the influence of oral health-related quality of life on the three different types of prosthesis used in student courses can be of decisive help in dental consultations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nearly a quarter of the population in the UAE has type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and this medical condition is associated with poorer oral health. The effects on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), however, have not been examined in this population. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the impact of oral health problems, such as caries and periodontitis, on OHRQoL among Arab patients with and without T2DM. METHODS This matched case-control study included 88 diabetic and 88 non-diabetic participants recruited from University Dental Hospital Sharjah and University Hospital Sharjah, UAE. Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire as well as the Oral Health Impact Profile short form (OHIP-14), which measures OHRQoL. Clinical examinations were conducted to assess participants' dental caries status, using the Decayed Missing Filled Teeth (DMFT) Index, and periodontal condition, via clinical attachment loss (CAL) dichotomized to CAL < 3 mm and CAL ≥3 mm. Linear regression models were used to identify the association among OHIP domains, clinical attachment loss, DMFT scores, and diabetes status. RESULTS The mean age of participants was 43.0 years. A significantly (p = 0.01) higher proportion of diabetic patients (23%) had a CAL ≥3 mm than non-diabetic patients (10%). No significant differences in OHIP scores were observed between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. The results of the linear regression suggested that irrespective of diabetic status, DMFT scores were significantly associated with physical disability, physical pain, psychological discomfort, and psychological disability, as well as total OHIP scores. CAL was significantly associated with the handicap domain. Among non-diabetic patients, OHIP scores were significantly associated with DMFT scores in five OHIP domains (functional limitation, physical disability, physical pain, psychological discomfort, psychological disability), as well as total OHIP scores. Among diabetic patients, CAL was significantly associated with both the social disability and handicap domains, while only the handicap domain reached statistical significance among non-diabetic patients. CONCLUSIONS Participants who had decayed teeth, irrespective of their diabetic status, reported substantial physical and psychological impacts on OHRQoL. CAL also had a significant impact on OHRQoL, being primarily associated with the OHIP handicap domain in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE This analysis focused on periodontal health in shortened dental arches (SDAs). METHODS In a randomized controlled clinical trial, patients with missing molars in one jaw and at least one premolar and canine on both sides were eligible for participation. In the partial removable dental prosthesis (PRDP) group (n = 79), molars were replaced with a precision attachment retained PRDP. In the SDA group (n == 71), the SDA up to the second premolars was either left as is or restored with fixed dental prostheses. Outcome variables were vertical clinical attachment loss (CAL-V), pocket probing depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and plaque index (PLI). For CAL-V and PPD, the changes at six measuring points per tooth were analyzed. For BOP and PLI, patient related rates were calculated for each point in time. Statistical methods included linear regression analyses. RESULTS In the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis for CAL-V in the study jaw, the 10 year patient related mean changes were 0.66 mm in the PRDP group and -0.13 mm in the SDA group. The resulting mean patient related group difference of 0.79 mm (95% CI: 0.20 mm-1.38 mm) was significant (p = 0.01). There were no significant differences in the ITT analyses for PPD. For BOP and PLI, significant group differences with more favorable results for the SDA group were found. CONCLUSIONS In view of lacking substantial differences for CAL-V and PPD, the overall differences were considered of minor clinical relevance. The results add confirmatory evidence to the shortened dental arch concept and its clinical viability (controlled-trials.com ISRCTN97265367).

Abstract
Objective This randomised clinical trial aimed to compare the impact of two different tooth replacement strategies for partially dentate older patients namely; removable partial dentures (RPDs) and functionally orientated treatment based on the shortened dental arch (SDA) concept, on Oral Health-related Quality of Life (OHrQOL). Methods 89 patients completed a randomised clinical trial. Patients were recruited in two centres: Cork University Dental Hospital (CUDH) and a Geriatric Day Hospital (SFDH). 44 patients were randomly allocated to the RPD group and 45 to the SDA group where adhesive bridgework was used to provide 10 pairs of occluding contacts. The impact of treatment on OHrQOL was used as the primary outcome measure. Each patient completed the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) at baseline, 1, 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment. Results Both treatment groups reported improvements in OHIP-14 scores at 24 months (p<0.05). For the SDA group OHIP-14 scores improved by 8.0 scale points at 12 months (p<0.001) and 5.9 scale points at 24 months (p<0.05). For the RPD group OHIP-14 scores improved by 5.7 scale points at 12 months (p<0.05) and 4.2 scale points at 24 months (p<0.05). Analysis using ANCOVA showed that there were significant between group differences recorded in both treatment centres. 24 months after intervention the SDA group recorded better OHIP-14 scores by an average of 2.9 points in CUDH (p<0.0001) and by an average of 7.9 points in SFDH (p<0.0001) compared to the RPD group. Conclusions Patients in the SDA group maintained their improvements in OHrQOL scores throughout the 24 month study period. For the RPD group the initial improvement in OHrQOL score began to diminish after 6 months, particularly for those treated in SFDH. Thus, the benefits of functionally orientated treatment increased over time, particularly for the older, more systemically unwell cohort in SFDH.

Abstract
AIM To assess the knowledge and perceptions of Malaysian government dentists regarding the shortened dental arch (SDA) concept and its application in clinical practice. BACKGROUND The SDA concept refers to a specific type of dentition with intact anterior teeth and a reduction in posterior occlusal pairs. Dentists' knowledge and perceptions of the SDA concept can influence its application in clinical practice. METHODS A self-administered questionnaire on the SDA concept was distributed to 326 government dentists in the states of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The data were analysed using SPSS version 22 software. RESULTS The response rate was 84.0%. The majority of respondents had good knowledge on five of six knowledge items and good attitudes towards 10 of 17 perception items. However, only one-fifth (20.4%) reported having applied the SDA concept in the clinic. A larger number of participants who graduated locally than who graduated abroad perceived that patients <60 years of age, without molar support, can attain acceptable chewing function and that SDA treatment does not lead to loss of occlusal vertical dimension (P < 0.05). A larger number of participants with ≤5 years of work experience than with >5 years of work experience perceived that the SDA concept enables simpler treatment planning (P < 0.05). Finally, a larger number of participants who graduated abroad than who graduated locally observed that patients without molar support had temporomandibular joint problems (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Although Malaysian government dentists have good knowledge and perceptions of the SDA concept, it is not widely applied in the clinic. Concerted efforts in SDA training of dentists are needed to help to shorten denture waiting lists and reduce costs.

Abstract
Data sourcesPubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, Embase and Science Direct.Study selectionStudies published in English providing data on patients with shortened dental arch (SDA) and extreme SDA (ESDA) and masticatory performance with removable dental prostheses (RDP) were included.Data extraction and synthesisTwo reviewers independently selected studies and abstracted data, with disagreements being resolved by discussion.ResultsEight studies were included; four reported on comminution studies, three on mixing ability and one included both. In patients with ESDA comminution or mixing ability was 28-39% lower compared to patients with a complete dentition. In two studies, comminution outcomes when chewing with an RDP ranged from 2% to 32% reduction, indicating better chewing function (smaller X50) compared to comminution without the RDP. One study reported 28-83% lower mixing ability when chewing at the RDP side than chewing at the dentulous side. Generally, more artificial teeth (or longer occlusal platform) in experimental RDPs resulted in better comminution and better mixing ability (significant in four out of five studies), indicating a 'dose-effect' relationship. Two of the eight studies reported on biting force with higher maximum occlusal force for biting with natural teeth than for biting with artificial teeth in a distal-extension RDP.ConclusionsWithin the limitations of this review it can be concluded that subjects with (E)SDA had a reduced masticatory performance in the order of 30-40%. Distal-extension RDPs compensated for this reduction only partially, namely in the order of 50%. RDP effects on chewing frequency were not conclusive.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Being a secondary outcome in a multicenter randomized controlled trial, the present analysis focused on interdental spacing in the shortened dental arch (SDA). The aim was to evaluate changes in interdental spacing in dependence of two different treatments after an observation period of up to 5 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients were either treated with a partial removable dental prosthesis (PRDP) for molar replacement (PRDP group) or according to the SDA concept aiming at a premolar occlusion (SDA group) in a randomized manner. Interdental spacing in the anterior region was measured with gauges and categorized as "0" (<0.1 mm), "1" (<0.5 mm), "2" (0.5-1 mm), and "3" (>1 mm). The statistical analysis was performed with analysis of variance models followed by linear contrast. RESULTS Ninety-one patients (SDA n = 41, PRDP n = 50) were included. Changes of interdental spacing were detected in 70.7 % of all cases. A significant difference between the mean score changes was found in the mandible comparing the PRDP group and the SDA group. The respective mean score changes from baseline to 5 years were 0.23 (SD 0.49) for the PRDP group and 0.02 (SD 0.30) for the SDA group (p = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS Major interdental spacing could be observed in neither of the groups. The SDA concept resulted in a slightly better outcome. CLINICAL RELEVANCE When deciding whether to replace missing molars, the present results give further support to the SDA concept.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The primary aim of this study was to investigate partially dentate elders' willingness-to-pay (WTP) for two different tooth replacement strategies: Removable Partial Dentures (RPDs) and, functionally orientated treatment according to the principles of the Shortened Dental Arch (SDA). The secondary aim was to measure the same patient groups' WTP for dental implant treatment. METHODS 55 patients who had completed a previous RCT comparing two tooth replacement strategies (RPDs (n=27) and SDA (n=28)) were recruited (Trial Registration no. ISRCTN26302774). Patients were asked to indicate their WTP for treatment to replace missing teeth in a number of hypothetical scenarios using the payment card method of contingency evaluation coupled to different costs. Data were collected on patients' social class, income levels and other social circumstances. A Mann-Whitney U Test was used to compare differences in WTP between the two treatment groups. To investigate predictive factors for WTP, multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. RESULTS The median age for the patient sample was 72.0 years (IQR: 71-75 years). Patients who had been provided with RPDs indicated that their WTP for this treatment strategy was significantly higher (€550; IQR: 500-650) than those patients who had received SDA treatment (€500; IQR: 450-550) (p=0.003). However patients provided with RPDs indicated that their WTP for SDA treatment (€650; IQR: 600-650) was also significantly higher than those patients who had actually received functionally orientated treatment (€550; IQR: 500-600) (p<0.001). The results indicated that both current income levels and previous treatment allocation were significantly correlated to WTP for both the RPD and the SDA groups. Patients in both treatment groups exhibited little WTP for dental implant treatment with a median value recorded which was half the market value for this treatment (€1000; IQR: 500-1000). CONCLUSIONS Amongst this patient cohort previous treatment experience had a strong influence on WTP as did current income levels. Both treatment groups indicated a very strong WTP for simpler, functionally orientated care using adhesive fixed prostheses (SDA) over conventional RPDs. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Partially dentate older patients expressed a strong preference for functionally orientated tooth replacement as an alternative to conventional RPDs.

Abstract
Objective. This study aimed to investigate the impact of subject age, gender, and arch length on dentists' attitudes towards unrestored shortened dental arches. Materials and Methods. 93 Syrian dentists were interviewed and presented with 24 scenarios for male and female subjects of different ages and shortened dental arches of varying length. Participants were asked to indicate on a standardized visual analogue scale how they would value the health of the mouth if the posterior space was left unrestored. Results. A value of 0.0 represented the worst possible health state for a mouth and 1.0 represented the best. The highest mean value (0.73) was assigned to a shortened dental arch with missing second molar teeth in the mouth of a 70-year-old subject. A 35-year-old female subject with an extremely shortened dental arch (all molar and premolar teeth are missing) attracted the lowest mean value (0.26). The statistical analysis indicated a significant decrease in the value placed on unrestored shortened dental arches as the number of remaining teeth decreased (p < 0.008). While subject gender had almost no impact on dentists' attitudes towards shortened dental arches, the scenarios for the older shortened dental arch subjects attracted significantly higher values compared to the scenarios for the younger subjects (p < 0.017). Conclusion. Subject age and arch length affect dentists' attitudes towards shortened dental arches, but subject gender does not.
