Oral Health Related Quality Of Life

In a study of 34 patients aged 75 years or over who depended on assistance for daily living activities, patients were randomly assigned to receive two mandibular implants to support an overdenture or a relined conventional mandibular denture. In the patients who received the mandibular implant overdenture treatment, an increased oral health-related quality of life was reported; however, chewing efficiency was no different between the groups. The insertion of the mandibular implant overdenture was noted as problematic for some patients and their caregivers due to the nature of the Locator attachments, and in two cases the attachments were replaced by attachments that permitted easier insertion . This is an important consideration for

But if the reader looks beyond the surface they will see that many of the people represent biblical characters and that the events are similar to stories in the Bible.

Recent surveys about retention procedures, done by (Renkema, et al. 2009) and (Lai, et al. 2014), showed some similarities among orthodontists practicing in various countries, such as a frequent use of fixed retainers on mandibular teeth, and an increased popularity of removable vacuum-formed retainers..

Another article that was based on the same research study focused on the causes of tooth loss in these patients[b]. The factors associated with edentulism were age, the presence of a nephropathy and poor oral hygiene. These factors, and the effects of cancer therapies, were the most important factors in predicting patients with 21 or more missing teeth. A separate 2004 study, carried out in a long-term hospital in Finland, drew very similar conclusions; oral hygiene was poor and more dental care needed to be available[c]. This Finnish study found that a quarter of the dentures worn by the participants needed to be replaced. These studies highlighted the importance of quality prostheses in edentulous and partially-dentate patients.

My photos are sort of inspired by two movies. At first I was going for a Toy Story feel, were the toys come to life when then the owner leaves. But half way through doing my project I decide to take a dark turn, and went more for more of a Chucky type feel. Both of my pictures where taken in the day time, but I edited them to kind of make it look like it was nighttime with the moonlight shining through the windows, hence the blueish tone the images and videos have.
