Abstract

Tooth loss is considered a major end-point sequela of preventable oral diseases. In Malaysia, tooth mortality is a common oral health problem. Objective: To assess the impact of tooth loss, preferences for tooth replacement, and the relationship between impact of tooth loss and number of missing teeth. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional survey involved 244 patients attending a primary health center and dental clinic at a public university. The respondents completed self-administered questionnaires on personal background, tooth replacement status, impact of tooth loss using a 12-item modified Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI), and preferences for tooth replacement. A dental examination was performed to determine the number of missing teeth. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 56.2 years (standard deviation [SD], 8.1 years). The mean number of missing teeth was 8.3; 62.7% of patients had at least 20 natural teeth. The majority were not wearing a dental prosthesis. The mean GOHAI score was 16.3. Of the patients, 66.0% experienced some food biting difficulty, 59.4% worried about oral health, and 57.8% experienced eating discomfort. Dental implants were the most preferred replacement option (38.9%). The GOHAI scores were not related to the number of missing teeth. Conclusion: Tooth loss and use of dental prostheses had some impact on quality of life, although the impact was not high.

Abstract

Background: Despite being a common problem, long-term disability following stroke often improves after survivors receive regular rehabilitative therapy. This study aimed to assess the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of stroke survivors who had access to a community-based rehabilitation centre after hospital discharge. Methods: Dentate post-stroke patients receiving regular rehabilitative care with slight to moderate dependency (Barthel Index >70) and without severe cognitive impairment were involved in this study. The OHRQoL parameters were measured using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and EuroQol five dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaires. Results: Thirty one patients were recruited in this study. Majority of the patients hardly ever or never had problems in all functional, physical, psychological and social domains, including eating discomfort and having to avoid eating, difficulty in chewing food and presumably having bad breath (58.1%, 61.3% and 71.0% respectively). Other than gender, age, ethnicity, co-morbidities and oral hygiene practices, education level was the only variable found to significantly affect patients’ OHRQoL (p = 0.028). Most of the patients had no or slight problem(s) in self-care (87.1%) and carrying out usual activities (57.1%), pain/discomfort (3.2%) and anxiety/depression (6.5%). Conclusion: Stroke survivors under regular rehabilitative care perceived have good oral health-related quality of life.

Abstract

Introduction: Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans interact in dental plaque biofilm to form a synergistic caries process. As a result, preventing tooth cavities necessitates disrupting the interaction between these two bacteria. This can be accomplished by giving anti-biofilm substances such as goat's milk, which contains lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and lysozyme. Candida albicans in dental biofilms promotes more violent caries than biofilms generated only by Streptococcus mutants. This study aimed to analyze the antibiofilm of goat's milk against Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans biofilm masses quantitatively and qualitatively. Methods: The type of study used was an experimental laboratory with a Post-Test Control Group Design. The study was conducted utilizing the Biofilm Coverage Rate (BCR) and the Biofilm Assay to asses characteristics of the quantitative concentration of biofilm and the SDS-PAGE technique to observe the biofilm protein composition qualitatively. Results: The treatment group's BCR and Biofilm Assay concentrations were 0.45 ± 0.2 lower than the negative control group's 0.78 ± 0.25. Protein profile bands of S. mutans and C. albicans biofilms exposed to goat's milk ranged from 14.4 to 116 kDa. Conclusion: Goat milk exhibits anti-biofilm action against Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans biofilms.
