Cross tabulations and Chisquare statistics were conducted for bivariate analyses and simple logistic regression was used for multivariate analyses \u0000Results: 898 individuals aged 15-80 years participated in the study of whom 66.8% were females. Slightly more than half (51.2%) self-reported to be living with HIV/AIDS. Of the health behaviors investigated, positive behaviors frequently reported were: hand washing, eating fresh fruits, eating green vegetables, infrequent snacking or consumption of sweetened soft drinks, not smoking or consuming alcohol. Behaviors seldom reported were; tooth brushing (twice a day), use of fluoride toothpaste and regular dental visits. The OR for reporting hand washing before eating among people living with HIV/AIDS was 0.5 (0.3, 0.9). People living with HIV/AIDS had significantly higher odds for daily eating of fresh fruits and vegetables, OR 2.2 (1.6, 3.1) and 1.7 (1.2, 2.3), respectively. They were as well less likely to smoke and consume alcohol than the comparative general population. They were significantly less likely to use sweetened soft drinks (OR 0.6 CI (0.4, 0.8) but more likely than the general population. to have not used fluoridated toothpaste. \u0000Conclusion: From the findings of this study, we conclude that most HIV positive individuals had better general health behaviors than the background population but only a few (18%) had good oral health behaviors (using fluoridated toothpaste and dental visit due to oral problem). HIV positive individuals should be encouraged to maintain positive health behaviors and be facilitated to practice the positive behaviors currently reported by few.","PeriodicalId":90904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of oral hygiene & health","volume":"2014 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2332-0702.1000162","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70290080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dental research studies on food type, texture, composition, retentiveness, consistency, etc. and their effect on dental hard tissues have been growing since ancient times. Simple sugars are considered cariogenic as against complex sugars/starch. Streptococcus Mutants initiate the caries process by acid production and thus lowering the plaque pH. Most of the commercialized brands claim that cereal and milk breakfast provides not only proteins, but also the other essential nutrients. Presweetened and unsweetened cereals contain various amounts of sugars which can be cariogenic but when consumed with milk their cariogenic potential drops down as a result of less oral retention time. \u0000Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of commonly consumed breakfast cereals on plaque acidogenicity available in Indian market. \u0000Materials and methods: 25 volunteers who reported to the department of M.A. Rangoonwala Dental College, Pune were included in the study. Five commercially available cereal types in the Indian market were divided into two subgroups flavored and unflavored. Plain cereals with nuts came under the unflavored group. Cereal with fruits, chocolates and honey were used under flavored group. Subjects were made to consume 30gms of cereal with 60 m L of plain milk Cereals were compared by evaluating the pH of plaque at different time intervals taken at baseline and at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes using pH meter. \u0000Result: In unflavored group, cereals with nuts had maximum pH drop between 10-15 minutes. In flavored group honey and chocolate had maximum pH drop at 15 minutes. \u0000Conclusion: The results were statistically significant between 15-30 minutes suggesting flavored cereals are more cariogenic than unflavored cereals.","PeriodicalId":90904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of oral hygiene & health","volume":"2014 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70289699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We measured the color of the attached gingiva at the interdental papilla of the upper and lower right central incisors, lateral incisors and canines using a non-contact type dental spectrophotometer. The measured color was quantified according to the CIEL*a*b* 1976 criteria. Oral health indices, such as the plaque control record, gingival inflammation and probing pocket depth, were determined manually. Lifestyle factors that may affect gingival pigmentation, such as smoking and medications, were also recorded according to a questionnaire.Results: Twenty-one subjects were current smokers, 12 were former smokers and 34 were non-smokers. On the gingival color analysis, the L* and b* values in the current smokers were significantly lower than those in the former and non-smokers in all areas, except the L* value of the lower canine in the former smokers. On the other hand, the a* value was lower in the current smokers than in the non-smokers for the upper medial, lower lateral incisor and canine gingiva. Among smokers, the L*, a* and b* values were lower in the patients with a Brinkman index (BI) of ≥ 100 than in those with a BI=0. In addition, the L* and b* values were lower in the patients with a BI of ≥ 100 than in those with 0 <BI<100.Conclusions: The brightness and chroma of the gingiva were found to be significantly lower in current smokers than in non- and former smokers and similar between the latter two groups. Our findings suggest that the gingival color is significantly influenced by the smoking status, papillary marginal attached index and BI.","PeriodicalId":90904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of oral hygiene & health","volume":"2014 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2332-0702.1000160","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70289689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As we all know, oral cavity consists of various complex structures with a very limited accessibility. Due to this, most biomechanical research of the oral environment has been performed in vitro. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a modern tool for numerical stress analysis, with an advantage of being applicable to solids of irregular geometry that contain heterogeneous material properties. The history of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) dates back to 1943 when R. Courant first developed this technique. This article provides a review of the achievements and advancements in dental technology brought about by all powerful finite element method of analysis. The scope of the review covers various steps of finite element analysis, its applications in context to orthodontics, restorative dentistry and endodontics as well as to the field of implantology. Advantages and limitations are discussed in some detail which helps identify the gaps in research as well as future research direction.","PeriodicalId":90904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of oral hygiene & health","volume":"2014 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2332-0702.1000156","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70290068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Human maxillary central incisors of similar dimensions were decapitated, root filled and embedded in acrylic blocks with simulated periodontal ligaments. Post spaces were prepared to a depth of 8 mm and restored with one of the following prefabricated posts: a 1.5 mm diameter titanium post (Mooser) (A), a 1.7 mm diameter zirconia ceramic post (Cosmopost) (B), a 1.4 diameter quartz fiber post (Aestheti-Plus) (C), and glass fiber posts (FRC Postec) of 1.5 mm (D) and 2.0 mm in diameter (E). All the posts were covered with metal copings, stored in 37°C water for 48 h, and then cyclically loaded with 25 N peak load at a 45° angle to the axial direction in a loading machine (Zwick 1465). Every 250 cycles (0.2 Hz frequency), the peak load was increased by 25 N until failure occurred. The equivalent load was calculated with the formula: eq 1 P ( )/1000 = = ⋅ ∑ n ii i PN , where Pi is the peak load, which is repeated for Ni cycles. Results: Failure modes were yielding (A) and post fracture (B-E). ANOVA post hoc Tukey test showed significantly higher mean loading cycles and mean equivalent loads for (A) than for the other post groups (p 0.05). Conclusion: For severely damaged upper incisors without ferrule, metal posts demonstrated higher fatigue resistance than fiber-reinforced composite or zirconia posts and thus may be preferable over non-metal posts.","PeriodicalId":90904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of oral hygiene & health","volume":"2 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2332-0702.1000148","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70289613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
