Abstract Background: Tooth loss is generally considered the final outcome of oral disease. This retrospective study was performed to identify risk factors for tooth loss in patients undergoing long-term maintenance therapy. Methods: We surveyed 1145 adult patients who underwent maintenance therapy for ≥5 years after they had undergone active treatment from January 2015 to December 2016 and established a baseline status. The study variables were patient compliance, sex, number of teeth lost, cause of tooth loss, age at start of maintenance, number of remaining teeth at start of maintenance, duration of maintenance, smoking status, use of salivary secretion inhibitors, and diabetes mellitus. Additionally, 57 patients who did not undergo maintenance therapy were surveyed to examine and compare the effects of maintenance therapy. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the correlation of each variable with tooth loss. Results: The average number of teeth lost under maintenance therapy was 0.07/year. Significantly fewer teeth were lost in the maintenance than non-maintenance group. Most of the teeth lost were non-vital teeth, and the most common cause of tooth loss was tooth fracture. Patient age, number of remaining teeth at start of maintenance, use of salivary secretion inhibitors, and diabetes mellitus were related to tooth loss. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is first large-scale study of tooth loss in patients undergoing long-term maintenance therapy within a general dental clinic. Our findings demonstrate that starting maintenance therapy when patients are younger and possess more teeth may prevent future tooth loss.

The aim of the present study was to evidence the improved behavior of our modified PMMA-TiO2 nanocomposite material used to obtain 3D printed complete dentures. A protocol for long-term rapid prototyping complete denture manufacturing using our nanocomposite material, completely characterized and the evaluation of the clinical performance and complications after eighteen months of continuous wearing was also described. Thirty-five fully edentulous patients were enrolled in this prospective clinical study and forty-five complete dentures (31 maxillary and 14 mandibular) have been obtained using an additive manufacturing technology. Due to the good performances of the nanocomposite material, no major functional complications for the obtained medical devices occurred and the clinical outcomes for the 3D printed dentures were favorable evaluated at eighteen months follow up.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to examine the etiological factors of orofacial pain for patients attending dental clinic at Faculty of Dentistry, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). Materials and Methods This retrospective study examined the data of 248 patients who have attended dental clinic at Faculty of Dentistry IIUM and suffering from different types of orofacial pain. The data were collected from January 2010 to November 2018. The etiologies of pain were classified according to International Classification of Orofacial Pain, 1st edition (2020). Statistical Analysis The association of age and gender with orofacial pain was evaluated by using the Chi-square test, and the significance level was set to 0.05. Results Collected data showed that orofacial pain has different etiologies among the patients attending the dental clinic at Faculty of Dentistry IIUM. Moreover, a statistically significant relation was observed between orofacial pain toward gender and different age group. Conclusion The findings proposed that the orofacial pain has a variety of etiological factors with the highest percentage of orofacial pain attributed to disorders of dentoalveolar and anatomically related structures among patients attending dental clinic at Faculty of Dentistry IIUM.
