“…Qat chewing, smoking, smokeless tobacco use, vaping,…etc are examples of the bad habits reported to predispose to dental caries. However, evidence on the potential association between qat chewing and dental caries is lacking owing to the con icting results obtained by the previous studies [17][18][19][20][21][22]. Therefore, this study sought to assess the potential association of qat chewing with dental caries in a sample of Jazan population.…”

Aims There is a considerable debate on the impact of qat chewing on dental and oral health. Thereby, this study aimed at assessing the dental caries among qat chewers (QC) in comparison to non-qat chewers (NQC) in Jazan region, Saudi Arabia Materials and Methods A sample of 100 QCs and 100 NQCs were recruited amongst those attended dental clinics, college of dentistry, Jazan University during the 2018–2019 academic year. Their dental health was assessed by three precalibrated male interns using DMFT index. The Care Index (CI), Restorative Index (RI) and Treatment Index (TR) were calculated. Comparisons between both subgroups were done using independent t-test. Multiple linear regression analyses were further conducted to stand on the independent determinants of the oral health among this population. Results QCs were unintentionally older (36.55 ± 8.74 years) than NQCs (32.96 ± 8.49 years; P = 0.004). Fifty-six percent of QCs reported brushing their teeth compared to only 35% (P = 0.001). More QCs were of higher educational levels compared to NQC. The mean Decayed [5.91 (5.16)] and DMFT [9.15 (5.87)] were higher compared to NQC [3.73 (3.62) and 6.7 (4.58); P = 0.001 and 0.001, respectively]. The other indices were not different between both subgroups. The multiple linear regression revealed that qat chewing and age, individually or together, as independent determinants for the dental decay, missing, DMFT and TI. Conclusion Qat chewing habit has a detrimental impact on dental health. It is associated with higher dental caries and missing teeth, and a lower treatment index.

“…Nevertheless, a study by Douglass et al [ 10 ] showed increasing edentulism as a result of aging and longer life expectancy. The higher number of elderly people could be caused by demographic changes which can be seen in the majority of countries [ 11 ]. A total of 703 million people worldwide are aged 65 years and above, and it is predicted that the given number will double by 2050.…”

The Shear Bond Strength between Milled Denture Base Materials and Artificial Teeth: A Systematic Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The data about bond strength between digitally produced denture base resins and artificial teeth are scarce. Several studies investigated shear bond strength values of milled denture base resins and different types of artificial teeth. The purpose of the present study was to compare and evaluate the available evidence through a systematic review. A bibliographic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to assess adequate studies published up to 1 June 2022. This review followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The appropriate studies that determined the shear bond strength values between milled denture base resins and artificial teeth were selected. The initial search identified 103 studies, which were included in the PRISMA 2020 flow diagram for new systematic reviews. Three studies met the inclusion criteria, and all of them present a moderate risk of bias (score 6). Two studies found no statistical differences between heat-polymerized and CAD/CAM (milled) denture base materials when attached with different types of artificial teeth, while one study showed higher values of CAD/CAM (milled) denture base materials. Bonding agents ensure bonding strength at least similar to the conventional methods. In order to improve the quality of future studies, it would be advantageous to use a larger number of specimens with standardized dimensions and a blinded testing machine operator to decrease the risk of bias.

“…One example of these deteriorating effects of qat chewing is dental caries—the most prevalent, multifactorial, chronic human disease [ 17 ]. Although it is mainly an infectious disease, many overlapping and interacting-with each other predisposing factors play a role.…”
