Patient’s perception of hygiene in the dental practice after cOViD-19
No full textBACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted various sectors, including healthcare. The dental profession has faced unprecedented challenges in providing care while minimizing the risk of transmission. the aim of the study is to assess how patient’s perception of hygiene in the dental field has changed since COVID-19. In detail, it has been analyzed patient’s attention to hygiene and how in his opinion the dental practice changed its procedures after cOViD-19. MetHODS: a questionnaire consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions was submitted to 509 subjects, patients of several dental practices. These were related to: 1) change in their perception of hygiene after COVID-19; 2) how the office they usually go to has changed and what hygiene standards it has adopted; 3) vaccination against cOViD-19. Descriptive analyses of all variables in the questionnaire were performed, and statistical analyses between variables were carried out by chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test. reSUltS: Most patients (75.8%) stated that they had changed their perception of hygiene after the onset of cOViD-19. they reported that they had experienced changes in hygiene procedures at their usual dental practice (70.7%), including rinsing with chlorhexidine mouthwash, continuous air and water disinfection and use of personal protective equipment (PPe). Vaccination of practitioners was considered to be important by 73.5% of participants. cONclUSiONS: in the present study it was analyzed how emergence of the new coronavirus has considerably changed the perception of patient hygiene within the dental practice. as a result of the awareness implemented to prevent virus transmission, patients are paying more attention to hygiene and preventive procedures to protect their health.

No full textPurpose: To investigate and assess the differences in crestal bone loss (CBL) between wide-diameter, external-hexagon– connection implants restored with platform-switching (PS) and platform-matching (PM) restorations with a follow-up of 10 years. Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the updated and enlarged dataset of a 5-year prospective clinical study at 10-year follow-up. The data concerns 182 healthy adult subjects treated in a private dental practice who received a single wide-diameter implant with an external hexagon connection in the molar area, restored with either a PS restoration (test) or PM restoration (control). The amount of CBL was radiographically measured at each annual follow-up, as well as after 5 and 10 years of implant loading. In evaluating the association between the two types of abutments and bone loss (including change over time), a linear mixed effects model was run for longitudinal data. Results: Implants connected with PS restorations exhibited significantly lower reduction (0.25 mm) in CBL than those joined to PM restorations (P <.001; 95% CI from 0.22 to 0.29). However, both groups presented a higher increase in bone loss during the first year (0.58 mm in PS and 0.83 mm in PM) and a linear increment thereafter until the 10-year followup (0.046 mm/year; P <.001; 95% CI from.042 to.049). Conclusion: Notwithstanding the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that after 10 years of follow-up, the implant with a wide diameter and external-hexagon connection restored with a PS abutment seems to be more effective in reducing bone loss compared with the PM abutment.
