- The purpose was to test the hypothesis that signs and symptoms characteristic of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) at age 15 would predict demand for treatment during a 20-year follow-up period. Of originally 135 examined 15-year-old subjects, 103 completed a questionnaire and 84 were examined clinically at the 10-year follow-up (at age 25). After 20 years (at age 35), 114 completed a questionnaire and 100 were also examined clinically. During the 20-year follow-up period, 21 subjects received some kind of treatment of TMD. At baseline (age 15), the treated group reported tooth grinding at night more often than the non-treated group (P = 0.0042). At the 10-year follow-up (at age 25), the treated group reported more symptoms of TMD and oral parafunctions than the non-treated group. Among the clinical registrations, there was only one significant difference between the groups: anterior tooth wear was more extensive in the treated group. At the 20-year follow-up (at age 35), the treated group reported significantly more symptoms of TMD and oral parafunctions than the non-treated group. The clinical dysfunction index was also higher in the treated group. Logistic regression revealed tooth grinding at night as a significant predictor of received treatment of TMD. However, the positive predictive value was low whereas the negative predictive value was high (90%). The findings indicate that nocturnal tooth grinding is related to demand for treatment of TMD.

A century of controversy regarding the benefit or detriment of occlusal contacts on the mediotrusive side.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Many opinions have been presented in the literature during the past century regarding so-called mediotrusive/balancing/non-working side contacts. During the first half of this century, most authors advocated the advantage of these contacts (it was more or less the state of the art in prosthetic treatments), while during the last 50 years mediotrusive side contacts/interferences have mostly been regarded as a disturbing factor in the functioning of the mandible. Recently, it has been proposed that mediotrusive side contacts have a protective effect on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The aim of this study was to review opinions advocated during the twentieth century regarding the advantages and disadvantages of having contacts on the mediotrusive side during lateral excursions of the mandible. We conclude that, at present, there is no uniform body of scientific evidence supporting a balanced occlusion in favour of a mutually protective occlusion or vice versa. Longitudinal studies based on cohorts with different types of occlusal contacts, estimating the risk among these of developing signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders, are generally lacking and could provide valuable knowledge in this field.

- The fracture strengths of stylized all-ceramic crowns manufactured using an yttrium-oxide-partially-stabilized (Y-TZP) zirconia ceramic core (Denzir) veneered with lithium disilicate glass-ceramics (IPS Empress 2 or IPS Eris) were evaluated. The Denzir cores were manufactured in two ways: either with different thicknesses in different parts of the restoration, called an ‘adapted Denzir core’; or with a uniform core thickness of 0.5 mm. IPS Empress 2 all-ceramic crowns served as reference. There was no significant difference between the crowns with an ‘adapted Denzir core’ veneered with the two brands of glass-ceramics. No significant difference was seen between the crowns with a 0.5 mm Denzir core veneered with the two brands of glass-ceramics. The crowns with an ’adapted Denzir core’ exhibited significantly higher values than those with a 0.5 mm Denzir core and than the IPS Empress 2 crowns used as reference. No significant differences were seen among the IPS Empress 2 crowns used as reference and the crowns with a 0.5 mm Denzir core. The mode of failure varied among the Empress 2 crowns and the crowns with a core of a Y-TZP zirconia ceramic. Long-term studies are necessary to assess the clinical performance of this restorative system.

Wireless optoelectronic recordings of mandibular and associated head-neck movements in man : a methodological study.

- Human mandibular movements in space are the result of combined motions of the mandible and the head-neck. They can be simultaneously monitored by an optoelectronic recording technique via markers at different locations on the mandible and on the head. Markers can be attached to the teeth or to the facial skin. Mandibular movements relative to the head can be calculated by one- or three-dimensional (1D and 3D, respectively) mathematical compensation for head movements. The present study analysed mandibular and associated head movements during maximal jaw opening-closing tasks in 10 healthy subjects using a wireless 3D optoelectronic movement recording system. The study aimed to: (i) estimate the soft tissue related displacement of skin-attached markers at different locations on the face; (ii) compare 1D with 3D mathematical compensation for associated head movements; (iii) evaluate the influence of marker location on the recorded head and mandibular movement amplitudes; and (iv) compare skin-attached markers with teeth-attached markers with regard to temporal estimates of recorded mandibular and head movements. Markers were attached to the upper and lower incisors and to the skin of the forehead, nose-bridge, nose-tip and chin. Soft tissue related displacement of skin-attached markers varied between locations. The displacement for the chin marker was larger than that of other markers. The least displacement was found for the nose-bridge marker. However, relative to mandibular and head movements, respectively, the displacement of the chin marker was of the same order as that of the nose-bridge marker. The temporal estimates were not significantly affected by displacement of the skin-attached markers. Markers at different locations on the head and the mandible registered different amplitudes. The mandibular movement patterns calculated by 1D and 3D compensation were not comparable. It is concluded that markers attached to the chin and the nose-bridge can be reliably used in temporal analyses of mandibular and head movements during maximal jaw opening-closing. With certain limitations, they are acceptable for spatial analyses. Selection of method of marker attachment, marker location, and method of compensation for associated head movements should be based on the aim of the study.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Although pre-fabricated carbon fibre posts have been used during the past decade clinical evaluations of the technique are still few. Using dental records and radiographs the clinical performance of 65 pre-fabricated carbon fibre posts (Composipost and Endopost) placed in 48 patients who regularly visited a general practice were evaluated in the present study. After an average time of 2.3 +/- 0.8 years (median 2.1 years, range 1-4.9 years) of clinical service the failure rate was 3%. Failure occurred in one tooth with a single crown restoration and in one tooth that was part of a cantilever fixed partial denture. Although the failure rate is lower than those mostly reported for metallic posts and cores more clinical studies are necessary to assess the suitability of pre-fabricated carbon fibre posts for routine use as an alternative to individually cast posts.
