The Effect of a Masticatory Muscle Training Program on Chewing Efficiency and Bite Force in People with Dementia
Until now, no study has investigated the effects of masticatory muscle training on chewing function in people with dementia. This study aimed to investigate whether physiotherapeutic exercises for the masticatory muscles have an influence on chewing efficiency and bite force in people with dementia. In a clinical trial with stratified randomization subjects were assigned to three groups based on the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE: group 1-28…
Student Perceptions of Age and Ageing—An Evaluation of Swiss Dental Students Receiving Education in Gerodontology
Society is ageing and the higher number of senior citizens in the total population is a challenge for society and often perceived as a burden. Negative images of old age can lead to ageism and poorer healthcare for older people. The younger generation will have to master these demographic challenges. Therefore, their attitude towards and their perception of the older generation has to be monitored. The aim of this study is to present the images o…
On the Necessity of a Geriatric Oral Health Care Transition Model
People in need of care also require support within the framework of structured dental care in their different life situations. Nowadays, deteriorations in oral health tend to be noticed by chance, usually when complaints or pain are present. Information on dental care is also lost when life situations change. An older person may rely on family members having oral health skills. This competence is often not available, and a lot of oral health is l…
The OrBiD (Oral Health, Bite Force and Dementia) Pilot Study
Research with people with dementia is a great challenge in terms of recruitment, study participation and adherence to interventions resulting in less research activity and higher financial, organizational and personnel efforts. As dementia progresses, there is a deterioration in general and oral health and chewing function. Oral treatment options often focus on healthy patients. Interventions for people with dementia are needed. The aims of the p…
What Counts for the Old and Oldest Old?—An Analysis of Patient Criteria for Choosing a Dentist—Part I
Utilization of a dentist is influenced by many factors. The aim of this study is to present the factors relating to how patients become aware of a dentist, according to which criteria they select the dentist, and which factors in the infrastructure, equipment of dental offices, and human interactions are important for patients. A telephone survey with 466 participants (female 59.9%) in three age groups (ag 1: 35−50 years, ag 2: 70−84 years, ag 3:…
What Counts for the Old and Oldest Old?—An Analysis of Patient Criteria for Choosing a Dentist—Part II
Soft skills include communication skills and personality traits that are important when choosing a dentist, but other factors within the dental office also seem to be important for patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate factors that are important to people in a dentist as well as characteristics of the ideal dentist and to evaluate possible age-, gender-, and residence of living specific differences. A telephone survey with participants a…
Effectiveness of a Dental Intervention to Improve Oral Health among Home Care Recipients
We quantified the effectiveness of an oral health intervention among home care recipients. Seven German insurance funds invited home care recipients to participate in a two-arm randomized controlled trial. At t 0 , the treatment group (TG) received an intervention comprising an oral health assessment, dental treatment recommendations and oral health education. The control group (CG) received usual care. At t 1 , blinded observers assessed objecti…
Perception of Old Age in German Undergraduate Dental Students—A Comparison of Two Cohorts 10 Years Apart
Previous studies revealed that students' willingness to provide dental services for older patients is mainly influenced by their individual perception of elders rather than their knowledge about old age. The aim of this study was to estimate students' perception of old and young age as well as their hopes and fears associated with old age and to compare two cohorts that participated in the study 10 years apart. Data were obtained from a questionn…
Health-Related Social and Ethical Considerations towards the Utilization of Dental Medical Services by Seniors
The aim is to analyze protective and modifying factors (e.g., vulnerability, resilience, sense of coherence) in relation to the utilization of dental services by seniors at different levels of the healthcare system. Terminological imprecision in the use and transfer of existing terms (sense of coherence, resilience, salutogenesis) to gerodontology is clarified. Factors influencing a reduced utilization (static/dynamic factors) can occur isolated …
