Barriers and facilitators in the integration of oral health into primary care: a scoping review
(2017-09)Objective This scoping study has been conducted to map the literature and provide a descriptive synthesis on the barriers and facilitators of the integration of oral health into primary care. Methods Grounded in the Rainbow conceptual model and using ... -
Diagnosis and management of benign fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws: a current review for the dental clinician
(2017-05-31)Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the maxillofacial skeleton constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders that includes developmental, reactive (dysplastic) and neoplastic lesions. Although their classification has been reviewed multiple times in the ... -
Major salivary gland aplasia and hypoplasia in Down syndrome: review of the literature and report of a case
(2017-05)Salivary gland aplasia and hypoplasia are rarely described in the medical literature. This article presents a case of aplasia and hypoplasia of the major salivary glands in a patient with Down syndrome. A literature review, as well as ... -
Tissue regeneration in dentistry: can salamanders provide insight?
(2017-04-29)The ability to regenerate damaged tissues would be of tremendous benefit for medicine and dentistry. Unfortunately, humans are unable to regenerate tissues such teeth, fingers or to repair injured spinal cord. With an aging population, health problems ... -
The effect of nocturnal wear of dentures on the sleep quality: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2017-03-29)Purpose The effect of nocturnal wear of denture on sleep quality and integrity is still not well understood. Therefore, this systematic review was conducted to provide evidence on this topic. Methods Electronic searches were conducted from ... -
Senescence gives insights into the morphogenetic evolution of anamniotes
(2017)Senescence represents a mechanism to avoid undesired cell proliferation that plays a role in tumor suppression, wound healing and embryonic development. In order to gain insight on the evolution of senescence, we looked at its presence in developing ... -
Improving practice guidelines for the treatment of denture-related erythematous stomatitis: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(2017)Background: Denture-related erythematous stomatitis (DES) is a chronic biofilm-mediated disease, affecting one in every three complete denture wearers. Antifungals are the treatment most commonly prescribed by oral health professionals, based on the ... -
