INTRODUCTION Periodontal disease has been associated with tooth loss and reported as more prevalent among people with diabetes than among those without diabetes. Having an annual dental examination is a national goal of Healthy People 2010. Our objective was to examine whether an association exists between diabetes and tooth loss among a population reporting an annual dental visit. METHODS We...

PURPOSE The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the effect of patient compliance with supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) on tooth loss in Korean adults.

They completed active periodontal treatment from 1999 to 2001 and were placed on a schedule of periodic follow-up visits for SPT. Patient complian...

U.S. DEP Dental caries and tooth loss are important oral health indicators for adults and are key measures for monitoring progress toward health promotion goals set by Healthy People 2020 (1,2). Although tooth decay and complete tooth loss have been declining in the United States since the 1960s, disparities have remained between some groups (3,4). As adults age, oral health-related quality of ...

Up to August 2017, six eligible studies were included in this meta-analysis. Results Our results showed statisti...

A design package is developed for a single-tooth per stator pole switched reluctance motor, 6/4. The rather simple assumed flux path method is used to estimate the unaligned permeance including the leakage permeances and the effects of shallow slot and tooth taper. The possibility of making rotor tooth width greater than stator tooth width is examined using the developed package. The result app...

Many epidemiological studies have found that tooth loss is associated with susceptibility to oesophageal cancer. However, a definitive answer is yet to be discovered, and the findings are inconclusive. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the relationship between tooth loss and oesophageal cancer risk. We searched PubMed and Embase databases to screen eligible studies up to June 2015. Nine ob...
