Retention Of Low Income Children In Three Dental Studies Investigating Early Childhood Caries, Ann H. Saba, John J. Warren, Karin Weber-Gasparoni, Deborah V. Dawson
Retention Of Low Income Children In Three Dental Studies Investigating Early Childhood Caries, Ann H. Saba, John J. Warren, Karin Weber-Gasparoni, Deborah V. Dawson
Journal of Health Disparities Research and Practice
Background: To our knowledge no dental studies have looked closely at subject retention, which is crucial to better understand oral health disparities. In this paper, we report retention rates and review and attempt to assess which retention strategies utilized in 3 dental research studies investigating ECC were effective for retaining WIC-enrolled children. The purpose of this paper is to discuss challenges that were encountered when working with these populations, describe characteristics of those not retained, and summarize some recommendations for future dental studies working at WIC sites. Methods: Three dental studies were conducted at WIC clinics in Iowa. Retention strategies …

Cantilever Bridge, Siriporn Arunpraditkul, Jisadawan Riyatanon
Cantilever Bridge, Siriporn Arunpraditkul, Jisadawan Riyatanon
Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal
Treatment options for replacing missing teeth can be implant, fixed partial denture and removable partial denture. Nowadays, implant is more popular. However, it is expensive and most of Thai patients cannot afford. Removable partial denture make the patients feel uncomfortable whereas a fixed partial denture, conventional bridge, results in extensive abutment tooth preparation on both ends of edentulous area. Cantilever bridge is an alternative treatment to substitute the missing tooth and reduce extensive adjacent teeth structure loss. This article describes advantage, disadvantage, critical factors for a success, classification, indication, and contraindication of cantilever bridge.

Intrusion Phenomenon And Rebound Of A Natural Tooth Located Between Two Implant Supported Crowns: Case Report, Ketkarn Sakultap, Pravej Serichetaphongse
Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal
This case report describes the intrusion of a natural tooth located between two implantsupported crowns after 7 months in function. The intruded first molar was 2.5-3 mm infraoccluded and tilted lingually. After 4 months of serial proximal contact adjustment, the intruded tooth was gradually rebounded to its normal position in complete occlusion with the opposing tooth. A new crown was fabricated for the molar to obtain the optimal proximal contact with the adjacent crowns. At the six-month follow up the tooth was still in its normal position. The potential mechanisms of tooth intrusion are described and discussed.
