Those with developmental disabilities are experiencing an increase in life expectancy due to advances in medical care3.

Dental Hygiene ETDs
In patients diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), the primary pathological cause of death, as determined by autopsy, is pneumonia. Research associates poor oral health with an increased incidence of pneumonia. The incidence is further elevated in mechanically ventilated, disabled and high-risk individuals. A proactive approach in oral health care could mitigate the risk of pneumonia related deaths in patients with ALS. This study evaluated whether the dental needs of ALS patients were being met. Over a three-month period 121 ALS patients were surveyed regarding their oral health status. Both written and online survey formats were employed. ALS Association Multidisciplinary …

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to determine if evidence exists between the relationship of receiving periodontal therapy during pregnancy and a subsequently-born childs gestational age and birth weight at time of delivery. Hypothesis: Pregnant mothers who received periodontal therapy during their pregnancy are less likely to have preterm low birth weight infants than those pregnant mothers who did not receive periodontal therapy during pregnancy.

The study was an experimental design which included 30 participants from a local agency dedicated to provide services to people with disabilities. The sample consisted originally of two groups of 15 participants each. However, the actual number of participating subjects was 14 in the experimental group and 10 in the control group. Each group was randomly assigned to either a control or an experimental group. No specific criterion was set as to which …

A Comparison Of Dental Practitioners' Knowledge Of The Adverse Oral Effects Of Pharmaceuticals; Specifically, Low-Dose Methotrexate, Diltiazem, Cyclosporine, Istretinoin, And Lisinopril, Melissa Van Witzenburg
Dental Hygiene ETDs
There are more than 15, 000 approved prescription and over-the-counter drugs, diagnostics, and intravenous supplementation products in the United States. Due to the increased number of patients using medications it is important that dental providers are aware of common adverse oral complications. The most commonly seen adverse oral effects of medications are xerostomia, gingival hypertrophy, angular cheilitis, and mucositis. The purpose of this study was to examine dental providers, subjects' knowledge of adverse oral effects of low-dose methotrexate, diltiazem, cyclosporine, isotretinoin, and lisinopril. Four of the five hypotheses tested demonstrated high P-values, therefore; they were consistent with the null hypothesis. …
