Liu M, Wu Y, Song J, He W. Association of Sleep Duration with Tooth Loss and Periodontitis: Insights from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2005-2020). Sleep Breath 2024; 28:1019-1033. [PMID: 38147286 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-023-02966-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 12/27/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sleep disorders such as insomnia, apnea, and restless leg syndrome can negatively affect a person's overall health and may cause hypertension, heart failure, and coronary heart disease. Likewise, periodontitis, a gum disease, can lead to both physical and psychological health issues, exerting a considerable effect on one's overall well-being-periodontitis stands as a primary cause of tooth loss. Nevertheless, there has been insufficient research on the correlation between the amount of sleep individuals get and the occurrence of periodontitis/tooth loss among Americans. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the influence of sleep length on periodontitis in the American population. METHODS Periodontitis severity was classified (none, mild, moderate, and severe) using American Periodontal Association criteria. Sleep duration was assessed by self-reported data and categorized into three groups (deficient, adequate, and excessive). Tooth loss was assessed by the oral examination. To establish a connection between the duration of sleep and periodontitis/tooth loss, a weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis was employed. A GAM analysis and smooth curve fitting assessment were conducted to identify non-linear relationships. Subgroup, interaction, and mediation analyses were also performed. RESULTS The prevalence of tooth loss was significantly high, affecting 96.4% of the individuals, whereas 46.6% of the study sample experienced moderate to severe periodontitis. The average age of participants was 52.7 years. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the analysis of weighted multivariable logistic regression revealed a significant association between sleep insufficiency and moderate/severe periodontitis (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.01-1.30, P = 0.0298), as well as tooth loss (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.01-1.33, P = 0.0371). Additionally, the research showed a correlation between the length of sleep and periodontitis that followed a U-shaped pattern. In addition, the analysis of mediation revealed that high blood pressure explained 7.0% (95% CI 4.0% to 12.9%; P < 0.0001) of the link between the amount of sleep and the likelihood of losing teeth. CONCLUSION Sleep duration was independently correlated with moderate/severe periodontitis/tooth loss and had a non-linear relationship.

Abstract
PURPOSE Missing teeth is one of the most important indicators of oral health behavior and the result of dental caries, periodontal disease, and injuries. This study examined a trend in the incidence of severe partial edentulism (SPE) using the Korean National Health Insurance Service (KNHIS) data. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of adults aged ≥20 years were obtained from the KNHIS for the 2014-2018 period. SPE was defined in dental information within a population with a treatment history of dental scaling as having 1 to 8 natural teeth. Crude incidence rates (CIRs) and age-standardized incidence rates (AIRs) with 95% confidence interval were calculated per 100000 persons. The Cochran Armitage trend (CAT) test and average annual percentage change were used to analyze SPE trends. RESULTS The CIRs among Korean adults were from 346.29 to 391.11 in 2014-2016 and from 391.11 to 354.09 in 2016-2018. The AIRs trend statistically increased by 4.31% from 346.29 to 376.80 and decreased by 4.72% from 376.80 to 342.10. The AIRs in men increased by 4.00% and decreased by 3.01%. The AIRs in women decreased by 2.18% and increased by 2.11% (CAT; p<0.01). The AIRs by region and income also showed trends of increase and decrease. CONCLUSION The study showed that the incidence trend of SPE increased and decreased from 2014 to 2018. This result would be able to aid in the planning of public oral health, and may also serve as fundamental data for verifying the impact of the public oral health policies implemented.

Frequency of Going Outdoors and Risk of Poor Oral Health Among Older Japanese Adults: A Longitudinal Cohort From the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. J Epidemiol 2024; 34:63-69. [PMID: 36967120 PMCID: PMC10751189 DOI: 10.2188/jea.je20220221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between the frequency of going outdoors and the risk of poor oral health has been reported in several studies; however, the findings have been inconclusive. METHODS We conducted a 3-year longitudinal study of 19,972 Japanese adults aged ≥65 years who reported no poor oral condition at baseline in 2013. The respondents rated their frequency of going outdoors in three categories (≤1, 2-3, or ≥4 times/week), and the oral conditions reported in 2016 included tooth loss, chewing difficulty, swallowing difficulty, dry mouth, and composite outcomes. The associations between the frequency of going outdoors and the risk of poor oral health were examined as relative risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using multivariable Poisson regression, while mediation analysis was performed to investigate indirect effects. RESULTS During the follow-up, 32.5% of participants developed poor oral health. In the mediation analysis, indirect effects were observed through low instrumental activities of daily living, depressive symptoms, little social network diversity, and underweight. Compared to going outdoors ≥4 times/week, the multivariable RRs of composite poor oral health conditions were 1.12 (95% CI, 1.05-1.20) for 2-3 times/week and 1.22 (95% CI, 1.07-1.39) for ≤1 time/week (P-trend < 0.001). Similar associations were observed for tooth loss, chewing difficulty, and swallowing difficulty; the corresponding RRs were 1.07 (95% CI, 0.97-1.19) and 1.36 (95% CI, 1.13-1.64) (P-trend = 0.002), 1.18 (95% CI, 1.06-1.32) and 1.30 (95% CI, 1.05-1.60) (P-trend < 0.001), and 1.15 (95% CI, 1.01-1.31) and 1.38 (95% CI, 1.08-1.77) (P-trend = 0.002), respectively. CONCLUSION The frequency of going outdoors was inversely associated with the risk of poor oral health through several modifiable risk factors in the older population.

[PMID: 37646307 DOI: 10.1111/edt.12884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM There is no thorough overview of intentional tooth replantation techniques. We performed a bibliometric analysis of the development of intentional tooth replantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive search of the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases was conducted in February 2023. Original articles and reviews of human studies with "intentional replantation" or synonyms in the titles, abstracts, or keywords were included. A descriptive analysis of bibliographic data, co-occurrence analysis, and coupling of publications was performed. Multivariate analysis was used to explore the bibliometric parameters associated with the citation counts. RESULTS The study included 171 papers, which were co-authored by 500 individuals affiliated with 217 institutions from 28 countries/regions. The USA contributed the greatest number of publications, followed by China, and Japan. The USA had 694 citations, followed by Japan (210), and Turkey (210). The Journal of Endodontics and Dental Traumatology contributed the most citations. Five directions for future research were identified based on the coupling relationships of publications, including "managing vertical root fractures with adhesive resin using the intentional replantation technique," "intentional replantation for periodontally hopeless or endodontically compromised teeth," "intentional replantation for treating abnormalities of morphological development," "outcomes and prognosis factors of intentional replantation," and "treating root replacement resorption by intentional replantation." Multivariate analysis showed that the publication year, Journal Citation Reports ranking of journals, study design, and disease type were predictors of citation counts. CONCLUSIONS This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive description of the intentional replantation technique. The USA published the greatest volume of papers and generated the most citations. The Journal of Endodontics and Dental Traumatology are considered the most influential. The Journal Citation Reports journal ranking (Q1, Q2), study design (case reports, cohort studies), and disease type (crown root fractures) were associated with the citation counts.

Abstract
This Perspective provides a brief summary of the scientific evidence for the two-way links between periodontal diseases and hyperglycemia (diabetes mellitus [DM] and pre-DM). It delivers in a nutshell current scientific evidence for manifestations of hyperglycemia on periodontal health status and effects of periodontal diseases on blood glucose levels and in turn incidence, progression, and complications of diabetes. Of outmost importance is presentation of scientific evidence for the potential of routine periodontal treatment to lower blood glucose levels, providing a novel, economical tool in DM management. Non-surgical periodontal treatment ("deep cleaning") can be provided by dental hygienists or dentists in general dental offices, although severe cases should be referred to specialists. Such therapy can decrease the costs of DM care and other health care costs for people with DM. The great importance of a healthy oral cavity free of infection and subsequent inflammation - especially periodontitis that if untreated will cause loosening and eventually loss of affected teeth - has largely gone unnoticed by the medical community as the health care curricula are largely void of content regarding the bi-directional links between oral health and systemic health, despite elevation of blood glucose levels being an integral part of the general systemic inflammation response. The importance of keeping disease-free, natural teeth for proper biting and chewing, smiling, self-esteem, and pain avoidance cannot be overestimated. Medical and dental professionals are strongly encouraged to collaborate in patient-centered care for their mutual patients with - or at risk for - hyperglycemia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Kobe project, which utilizes prospective data from the national health insurance system, focuses on early detection and preventive strategies through the Frail Kenshin health check-up program. Previous research has underscored the correlation between tooth loss and the decline in physical and cognitive functions. In this study, using Kobe project data, we examined the link between remaining teeth and long-term care needs in individuals aged 64-65 years, with primary and secondary objectives involving various health parameters and quality of life. METHODS We analyzed baseline data from a prospective study conducted alongside the Frail Check program for generally healthy individuals aged 64-65 years to examine the relationship between the number of remaining teeth and various health indicators. This study focused on citizens aged 64-65 years to identify those at risk of needing long-term care by the age of 65 years. RESULTS Data from 1,530 participants were obtained, excluding eight individuals for specific reasons. At the end of the follow-up period, 41 (2.7%) individuals required support and 15 (1.0%) needed long-term care alone. The data revealed a significant association between the number of remaining teeth and the need for long-term care or support, as demonstrated by the Cochran-Armitage trend test (p<0.001). Although trends were noted for nutrition and total Cognitive Functional Instrument Self scores, they did not reach statistical significance. Additionally, a decrease in the number of remaining teeth was significantly associated with worse European Quality of Life Five Dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) visual analog scale scores, mobility, and regular activities (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Tooth loss indicates the potential long-term care needs of older adults. Monitoring oral health is crucial for addressing care requirements.

Implication of dental insurance status on patterns of pre-radiation dental extraction and risk of osteoradionecrosis of the jaw in head-and-neck cancer patients. Oral Oncol 2023; 145:106527. [PMID: 37499325 DOI: 10.1016/j.oraloncology.2023.106527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
Oral toxicities such as osteoradionecrosis can be minimized by dental screening and prophylactic dental care prior to head and neck (HN) radiation therapy (RT). However, limited information is available about how dental insurance interacts with prophylactic dental care and osteoradionecrosis. To address this gap in knowledge, we conducted a cohort study of 2743 consecutive adult patients treated with curative radiation for HN malignancy who underwent pre-radiation dental assessment and where required, prophylactic dental treatment. Charts were reviewed to determine patient demographics, dental findings, dental treatment and development of osteoradionecrosis following radiation. Three insurance cohorts were identified: private-insured (50.4 %), public-insured (7.3 %), being patients with coverage through government-funded disability and welfare programs, and self-pay (42.4 %). More than half the public-insured patients underwent prophylactic pre-radiation dental extractions, followed by self-pay patients (44 %) and private-insured patients (26.6 %). After a median follow-up time of 4.23 years, 6.5 % of patients developed osteoradionecrosis. The actuarial rate of osteoradionecrosis in the public-insured patients was 14.7 % at 5-years post-RT, compared to 7.5 % in private-insured patients and 6.7 % in self-pay patients. On multivariable analysis, dental insurance status, DMFS160, age at diagnosis, sex, tumor site, nodal involvement, years smoked and gross income were all significant risk factors for tooth removal prior to HN radiation. However, only public-insured status, tumor site and years smoked were significant risk factors for development of osteoradionecrosis. Our findings demonstrate that lack of comprehensive dental coverage (patients who self-pay or who have limited coverage under public-insured programs) associates strongly with having teeth removed prior to HN RT. Nearly 1 in 6 patients covered under public-insurance developed osteoradionecrosis within 5 years of completing their treatment. Well-funded dental insurance programs for HN cancer patients might reduce the number of pre-RT extractions performed in these patients, improving quality of life post-RT.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the association between length of dental arch and oral health-related quality of life in head and neck cancer patients post-radiotherapy. METHODS Thirty head and neck cancer participants reported their oral health-related quality of life using the oral health impact profile-14 instrument and their global self-rating of general and oral health. All patients had received chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The length of dental arch was assessed in three tooth relational categories: canine-to-canine, shortened (premolars to premolars), and long (molars to molars) dental arches. Inclusion of participants for any of the three categories required verification of opposing teeth relationship with Shim Stock paper. RESULTS Out of 30 head and neck cancer patients, eight (27%) had a canine-to-canine dental arch, 14 (46%) had a shortened dental arch, and eight (27%) had a long dental arch. The median oral health impact profile-14 scores for participants respectively with the canine-to-canine dental arch was six (IQR = 9.25), seven (IQR = 8) for participants with shortened dental arch, and 11 (IQR = 12.5) for participants with long dental arch. There were no significant differences in oral health impact profile-14 scores between the three-tooth relational groups (Kruskal-Wallis H = 0.769, df = 2, P-value = .681). Similarly, there were no significant differences between three-tooth relational groups on the self rating of general (Chi-squared = 1.714, df = 2, P-value = .424) and oral health (Chi-squared = 1.393, df = 2, P-value = .498). CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this study, no association was found between the length of dental arch and oral health-related quality of life in head and neck cancer patients post-radiotherapy. Other factors such as dry mouth, oral mucositis, loss of taste, and trismus should be considered as contributory factors to reduced oral health-related quality of life in head and neck cancer patients post-radiotherapy, particularly in relation to eating difficulties.

Abstract
Food security is important for human health and quality of life. This study investigated the association between food security and the number of remaining teeth in Korean adults. Raw data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) VII (2016-2018) were analyzed, including data from 13,199 adults aged 19 years or older. The associations between food security and number of teeth were assessed using multiple multinomial logistic regression models after adjusting for demographic and health factors as covariates. In the model adjusted for all socioeconomic, medical, and behavior variables, the odds ratio of tooth loss (16-20 teeth) was 3.80 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.56-9.21) in the group of people that reported often feeling insecurity regarding various food groups compared to those who reported feeling food security. The results of this study demonstrated an association between food security and the number of remaining teeth in Korean adults. Therefore, food security is essential for improving lifelong oral health.

Nonoyama T, Nonoyama K, Shimazaki Y. Cross-sectional study of the factors associated with the number of teeth in middle-aged and older persons with intellectual disabilities. JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY RESEARCH : JIDR 2022; 66:793-804. [PMID: 35929423 PMCID: PMC9544665 DOI: 10.1111/jir.12967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the number of teeth in middle-aged and older individuals with intellectual disability and evaluated the related factors. METHODS A questionnaire survey on oral health was administered to 604 persons over 40 years old with intellectual disabilities in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The questionnaire designed for this study included items on diagnosis of disability, severity of intellectual disability and type of residence. As oral-health-related factors, the proxy-reported number of teeth, family dentist, regular dental check-ups, problems during dental treatment and tooth-brushing frequency were evaluated. A multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed using the proxy-reported number of teeth (≥20, 10-19 or 0-9) as the dependent variable, and the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of independent variables were calculated. In addition, linear regression analysis was performed using the proxy-reported number of teeth as the dependent variable. RESULTS In the multivariate multinomial logistic regression analysis, age, diagnosis of disability and type of residence were significantly associated with having 10-19 versus ≥20 teeth. Participants with autism spectrum disorder had a significantly lower OR for 10-19 teeth compared with those with intellectual disability [OR (95% CI): 0.49 (0.22-1.08)]. Age, diagnosis of disability, regular dental check-ups and tooth-brushing frequency were significantly associated with having 0-9 versus ≥20teeth. Participants with Down syndrome had a significantly higher OR for 0-9 teeth compared with those with intellectual disability [OR (95% CI): 3.17 (1.09-9.23)]. The ORs for 0-9 teeth of participants who did not attend regular dental check-ups and who brushed their teeth 1 time/day compared with ≥3 times/day were significantly high, and the OR (95% CI) was 2.37 (1.06-5.30) and 4.76 (1.09-20.77), respectively. [Corrections made on 22 August 2022, after first online publication: in the previous sentence, "who attend" has been changed to "who did not attend".] In the multivariate linear regression analysis, age, diagnosis of disability and regular dental check-ups were significantly associated with the proxy-reported number of teeth. The proxy-reported number of teeth was -0.42 less with each 1-year increase in age. With autism spectrum disorder, the proxy-reported number of teeth was 0.74 more compared with intellectual disability. In Down syndrome, the proxy-reported number of teeth was -0.93 less compared with intellectual disability. The proxy-reported number of teeth was -2.12 less for those who did not have regular dental check-ups. CONCLUSIONS The number of teeth in middle-aged and older individuals with intellectual disability was related to age and the type of disability. Regular dental visits may be effective at preventing tooth loss in middle-aged and older persons with intellectual disability.

Abstract
Multiple systems and associated factors have been described in the literature to assess the prognosis of teeth with periodontal disease. Nowadays there is a tendency among clinicians to consider implants as the best solution after tooth extraction, in cases of teeth with a questionable prognosis. However, the value of the natural tooth must be considered, as the proprioception of the periodontal ligament is preserved, and it adapts to stress during functional loads. We first review the literature focusing on analyzing the factors that should guide decision-making to maintain or extract a tooth with a compromised periodontium. Then, we propose a schematic diagram of prognostic indicators to reflect the main factors to consider and the survival rate that each one represents when preserving or extracting a tooth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and oral health indicators including dental status, total occlusion force (TOF), number of natural and rehabilitated teeth (NRT), number of natural teeth (NT), and to explore the effect modification on the association by gender among Korean elders. METHODS A total of 675 participants aged 65 or above recruited by a cluster-based stratified random sampling were included in this cross-sectional study. The 14-items Korean version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) was used to measure OHRQoL. The responses about OHIP were dichotomized by the cut-off point of 'fairly often' to determine the 'poor' versus 'fair' OHRQoL. Age, gender, education level, alcohol drinking, smoking, metabolic syndrome, frailty, and periodontitis were considered as confounders. Multiple multivariable logistic regression analyses were applied to assess the adjusted association between oral health indicators and OHRQoL. Gender stratified analysis was also applied to explore the effect modification of the association. RESULTS The prevalence of poor OHRQoL was 43.0%, which was higher in women, less-educated elders, alcohol non-drinkers and frailty elders (p < 0.05). Elders with poor OHRQoL also showed lower values of oral health indicators than elders with fair OHRQoL (p < 0.05). Those with NRT ≤ 24, NT ≤ 14, and TOF < 330 N increased the risk of poor OHRQoL by 2.3 times (OR = 2.26, confidence interval [CI] 1.54-3.31), 1.5 times (OR = 1.45, CI 1.02-2.07), and 1.5 times (OR = 1.47, CI 1.06-2.04), respectively. In women, the association of NRT ≤ 24 with poor OHRQoL increased from OR of 2.3 to OR of 2.4, while, in men, the association of TOF < 330 N with poor OHRQoL increased from OR of 1.5 to OR of 3.2. CONCLUSION Oral health indicators consisting of TOF, NRT, and NT were independently associated with poor OHRQoL among Korean elders. Gender modified the association of TOF and NRT. Preventive and/or curative management for keeping natural teeth and the rehabilitation of missing teeth to recover the occlusal force may be essential for reducing poor OHRQoL.

The impact of socioeconomic status, general health and oral health on Health-Related Quality of Life, Oral Health-Related Quality of Life and mental health among Polish older adults. BMC Geriatr 2022; 22:2. [PMID: 34979959 PMCID: PMC8722217 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-021-02716-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The study aims to evaluate the impact of socioeconomic status, general health and oral health parameters on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and mental health in elderly urban residents of South-Western Poland. METHODS The 500 residents of Wroclaw, aged 65 and older provided demographic and personal information as well as their medical history. A patient's oral condition were determined based on the clinical oral examination.Quality of Life was assessed using Euro-Quality of Life (EQ-5D), Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9).The association between exposure (socioeconomic status, general health and oral health) and outcome (HRQoL, OHRQoL and mental health variables) were analyzed with the use of four models: P - Poisson model, NB-Negative Binomial model, ZIP - Zero Inflated Poisson model, ZINB - Zero Inflated Negative Binomial model. RESULTS The best model turned out to be the ZINB model, in which a negative binomial distribution in the count equation is assumed. In this model, only 13 independent variables had a significant effect on HRQoL, OHRQoL, and mental health. HRQoL assessed with the EQ-5D is significantly influenced by: living conditions 0.133 (95% CI: 0.001, 0.267, p = 0.049), income -0.348 (95%CI: -0.466, -0.230, p < 0.001), diabetes mellitus 0.437 (95%CI: 0.250, 0.624, p < 0.001), myocardial infarction 0.454 (95% CI: 0.151, 0.757, p = 0.003), stroke 0.543 (95%CI: 0.094, 0.992, p = 0.018) and renal disease 0.466 (95% CI: 0.206, 0.726, p < 0.001). Factors negatively affecting OHRQOL are: the need for oral treatment 0.278 (95%CI: 0.104, 0.452, p = 0.002), the number of missing teeth 0.053 (95%CI: 0.039, 0.067, p < 0.001) and gender 0.271 (95%CI: 0.015, 0.527, p = 0.038) and age -0.025 (95%CI: -0.042, -0.008, p = 0.003). An important factor influencing the level of depression assessed by the PHQ-9 questionnaire may be the material condition -0.225 (95%CI: -0.349, -0.101, p < 0.001). It should be emphasized that living with other people may be a factor that significantly increases the probability of avoiding the occurrence of depression symptoms. CONCLUSION The study concerning elderly residents of the macroregion in Poland found the impact of socioeconomic, general health and oral health parameters on Health-Related Quality of Life, Oral Health-Related Quality of Life and mental health. Research on the quality of life of the elderly at the local level allowed to assess the factors linked to quality of life of older adults.

Abstract
This report describes a validation study of data in the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan (NDB) obtained by nationwide surveys on tooth extractions. The following 3 data sources on tooth extractions in Japan were compared: (1) the Nationwide Survey of the Reasons for Permanent Tooth Extractions in Japan (a previous survey conducted by the present authors); (2) the Statistics on Medical Care Activities in Public Health Insurance; and (3) the 4th NDB Open Data Japan. Source 1 was a nationwide survey conducted in 2018; sources 2 and 3 comprised data that are freely available for use by the public. In Source 1, 2,345 of 5,250 dentists approached responded to the questionnaire (recovery rate: 44.8%). The number of extracted teeth among younger age groups (aged 25-50 years) reported in Source 1 was lower than that in the other two sources. In contrast, the number of extracted teeth among older age groups reported in Source 1 was higher than that reported in the other two sources. However, when stratified by age group, all differences across the 3 sources regarding the mean annual number of tooth extractions were <0.05 teeth/year. The present results suggest that the NDB is a reliable resource for data on tooth extractions performed across the entire Japanese population.

Abstract
Background Diabetic nephropathy (DN) can affect quality of life (QoL) because it requires arduous lifelong management. This study analyzed QoL differences between DN patients and patients with other chronic kidney diseases (CKDs). Methods The analysis included subjects (n = 1,766) from the KNOW-CKD (Korean Cohort Study for Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease) cohort who completed the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form questionnaire. After implementing propensity score matching (PSM) using factors that affect the QoL of DN patients, QoL differences between DN and non-DN participants were examined. Results Among all DN patients (n = 390), higher QoL scores were found for taller subjects, and lower scores were found for those who were unemployed or unmarried, received Medical Aid, had lower economic status, had higher platelet counts or alkaline phosphatase levels, or used clopidogrel or insulin. After PSM, the 239 matched DN subjects reported significantly lower patient satisfaction (59.9 vs. 64.5, p = 0.02) and general health (35.3 vs. 39.1, p = 0.04) than the 239 non-DN subjects. Scores decreased in both groups during the 5-year follow-up, and the scores in the work status, sexual function, and role-physical domains were lower among DN patients than non-DN patients, though those differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion Socioeconomic factors of DN were strong risk factors for impaired QoL, as were high platelet, alkaline phosphatase, and clopidogrel and insulin use. Clinicians should keep in mind that the QoL of DN patients might decrease in some domains compared with non-DN CKDs.

Abstract
We aimed to assess the validity of the self-report questionnaire for periodontitis in a Japanese population. A Japanese 9-item self-report questionnaire, developed by translating English-version questions that were used to detect periodontitis, was validated against full-mouth clinically-assessed periodontitis in 949 Japanese adults (average age = 43.2 years). Multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to calculate the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), wherein the periodontitis case definition of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/American Academy of Periodontology was considered the gold standard. Severe, moderate, and mild periodontitis were identified in 6.2%, 30.0%, and 6.7% of the study population, respectively. Self-reported oral health questions combined with socio-demographic and health-related variables had an AUC > 0.70 (range, 0.71-0.87) for any periodontitis category. Four oral health questions ("have gum disease," "loose tooth," "lost bone," and "bleeding gums") were selected in the parsimonious model for severe periodontitis. The periodontitis screening score generated by the responses to these four questions had an AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.82, 73.1%, and 74.3%, respectively, where the cut-off was set at 2 points. In conclusion, a locally adapted version of the self-report questionnaire had an acceptable diagnostic capacity for the detection of periodontitis in this study population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sleep deficiency is implicated as a risk factor for several systemic conditions. Loss of teeth has a profound effect on the individual's physiologic and psychologic health and quality of life. This study aimed to assess the association between tooth loss and sleep duration and determine if anterior and/or posterior tooth loss is a significant predictor. METHODS A total of 22,483 individuals ≥ 18 years who participated in the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2016 cycles were included. Multinomial logistic regression adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, smoking, diabetes, body mass index, socioeconomic level, education, alcohol, and depression was performed to examine the association between sleep duration and tooth loss. RESULTS Compared to individuals with > 20 remaining teeth, those who were completely edentulous, had 1-10 or 11-20 teeth remaining were more likely to be in the deficient sleep category (OR [95% CI] = 1.59 [1.35-1.87], 1.29 [1.07-1.54], and 1.26 [1.11-1.43], respectively). When the numbers of both missing anterior and posterior teeth were entered in the model, only posterior teeth were significant. There was a 4% increase in the odds of being in the deficient sleep category for each missing posterior tooth (OR [95% CI] = 1.04 [1.02-1.05]). CONCLUSIONS Tooth loss was significantly associated with deficient sleep and posterior tooth loss appeared to be the main contributor. Although further research is needed to clarify the nature of this association, our results suggest that improving oral health might have an impact on overall health and quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between QoL and oral health from two Swedish national quality registries (NQRs). BACKGROUND Oral health plays an important part in general health, which might also affect QoL. No studies have examined the relationships between QoL and oral health in late adulthood based on aggregated data from Swedish NQRs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four NQRs incorporated the EQ-5D, which assesses 5 aspects of QoL: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Items from the Revised Oral Assessment Guide, obtained from the NQR Senior Alert, were used to identify older adults at risk for oral health issues. RESULTS A total of 510 individuals had data on all relevant variables. Analyses indicated significantly higher QoL for individuals without risk of oral health problems (M = -0.15 (SD = 1.01)), compared to those with risk (M = -0.75 (SD = 1.52)). Logistic regression analysis showed that lower QoL (OR = 0.69 (0.49, 0.97)), mental status (OR = 0.37 (0.19, 0.71)), lower self-rated health (OR = 0.59 (0.42, 0.85)) and higher age (OR = 1.07 (1.01, 1.13)) were significantly related to risk of oral health problems. Higher BMI (OR = 1.13 (0.99, 1.30)), living alone (OR = 2.37 (0.93, 6.06)) and more years of education (OR = 1.15 (1.01, 1.31)) were associated with higher risk of oral health problems. CONCLUSIONS Oral health is a significant component of quality of life in late adulthood. NQRs are of value for healthy ageing research in populations that may be underrepresented in research studies.

Strategic Use of CAD-CAM Interim Restoration for the Recovery of the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion in the Posterior Partially Edentulous Jaw. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
Occlusal contact loss occasionally occurs following the placement of implant-supported fixed dental prostheses in the posterior region. This complication is caused by the change in the vertical dimension of occlusion after the recovery of mastication. The change is probably related to the prosthesis sinking phenomenon and previous mandibular dislocation. The use of interim prostheses could help re-establish the vertical dimension of occlusion. The definitive prostheses can then be accurately fabricated using digital techniques in the newly established vertical dimension. In this case report, we introduce a protocol incorporating a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) interim prosthesis and digital techniques to minimize the occurrence of unexpected initial occlusal changes in the prosthetic treatment of implant-supported prostheses in the posterior region.

EQ-5D-3L health status and health state utilities of the oldest-old (85 +) in Germany: results from the AgeCoDe-AgeQualiDe study. Qual Life Res 2020; 29:3223-3232. [PMID: 32851600 DOI: 10.1007/s11136-020-02597-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 07/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To describe health status and health state utilities measured by the EQ-5D-3L in a population-based sample of individuals aged 85 + in Germany, and to analyze associations with basic socio-demographic variables. METHODS Cross-sectional data from follow-up wave 7 (n = 761) of the German AgeCoDe Study were used. The EQ-5D-3L questionnaire was used to record problems in five health dimensions, its visual analogue scale (EQ VAS) was used to record self-rated health status, and the German EQ-5D-3L index was used to derive health state utilities. RESULTS Mean age of respondents was 88.9 years (SD 2.9; range 85 to 100), 67.4% were female. 81.9% reported problems in at least one of the EQ-5D dimensions, with 15.3% reporting extreme problems. Most frequent were problems with pain/discomfort (64.8%), followed by mobility (62.5%), usual activities (42.6%), self-care (28.2%), and anxiety/depression (20.5%). Mean EQ VAS score was 62.4 (SD 18.8), and mean EQ-5D index was 0.77 (SD 0.24). Multiple regression analysis showed associations of problem frequency in various EQ-5D dimensions with age, gender, living situation, marital status, and education. The EQ VAS score was negatively associated with age (β = - 0.56; p < 0.05) and female gender (β = - 3.49; p < 0.05). The EQ-5D index was negatively associated with not living in the community (β = - 0.10; p < 0.001) and being single (β = - 0.09; p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results show a substantially impaired health status of the oldest-old population. The data can be used for comparing health status of population groups as well as for health economic models.

Abstract
Teeth are vital sensory organs that contribute to our daily activities of living. Unfortunately, teeth can be lost for several reasons including trauma, caries, and periodontal disease. Although dental trauma injuries and caries are more frequently encountered in a younger population, tooth loss because of periodontal disease occurs in the older population. In the dental implant era, the trend sometimes seems to be to extract compromised teeth and replace them with dental implants. However, the long-term prognosis of teeth might not be comparable with the prognosis of dental implants. Complications, failures, and diseases such as peri-implantitis are not uncommon, and, despite popular belief, implants are not 99% successful. Other treatment options that aim to save compromised or diseased teeth such as endodontic treatment, periodontal treatment, intentional replantation, and autotransplantation should be considered on an individual basis. These treatments have competing success rates to dental implants but, more importantly, retain the natural tooth in the dentition for a longer period of time. These options are important to discuss in detail during treatment planning with patients in order to clarify any misconceptions about teeth and dental implants. In the event a tooth does have to be extracted, procedures such as decoronation and orthodontic extrusion might be useful to preserve hard and soft tissues for future dental implant placement. Regardless of the treatment modality, it is critical that strict maintenance and follow-up protocols are implemented and that treatment planning is ethically responsible and evidence based.
