A properly designed denture is conducive to proper rehabilitation of edentulism. Regular good denture hygiene by individuals with removable partial dentures (RPDs) is an important component of oral health and in the prevention of further dental problems. These individuals should be provided with advice on the importance of denture care and be aware of this information so as to avoid problems related to the oral cavity in the future. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and hygiene of patients using a removable prosthesis. The study consisted of patients who wear removable prosthesis between the age of 25-50 years. Data were obtained from the DIAS and each case sheet was reviewed carefully by visual means and OHIS score was given for each individual based on visual observation. Data were obtained and tabulated. Data was exported to SPSS and output was obtained. Based on the average of OHIS score, the oral hygiene of all the patients was fair. The study concludes that the oral hygiene of all the patients wearing removable prosthesis of the sample size provided was fair. Females in this study showed better hygiene compared to men.

Objectives: Oral health correlates with systemic health, and maintaining oral health is very important because the oral cavity is considered as a reflection of the general well-being of a human body. Daily plaque removal with a toothbrush is an important component of most oral hygiene programs intended to prevent and control two globally leading oral afflictions dental caries and periodontal diseases. Failure to comply and lack of technical skills of the patient has lessened the effectiveness of conventional tooth brushing. Because of this, research efforts have focused on adjuvant therapy along with brushing for reducing and controlling plaque-induced oral diseases. One such measure is oil pulling. Oil pulling has been used extensively as a traditional Indian folk remedy for many years to prevent decay, oral malodor, bleeding gums, dryness of throat, cracked lips, etc. Most of the studies have been done using sesame oil. Since coconut oil also has many health effects such as boosting the immune system and antimicrobial properties, this can also help in fighting against various pathogens of oral cavity that will in turn act as an effective plaque control agent. Hence, with this background, this study is contemplated to evaluate the benefit of oil pulling along with normal brushing techniques in adults under the age group of 35–44 years. Materials and Methods: Forty healthy subjects belonging to both the sexes who presented with plaque-induced gingivitis will be selected for the study and will be divided into control and study groups. The patients will be informed about the nature and purpose of the study. Health education will be provided to all the students. The modified bass technique will be demonstrated to the participants and they are directed to brush twice daily for 3 min. Toothbrush and toothpaste will be provided to all participants. Among them, 20 subjects were instructed to continue their normal oral hygiene procedures along with coconut oil pulling. Data collected were subjected to appropriate statistical tests using SPSS version 20. Results: A highly statistical difference was seen between the two groups and within the groups. Conclusion: The usage of coconut oil pulling as an adjuvant to oral hygiene gives a promising result.

Oral health among the elderly population is an integral part of their overall health. Good oral health facilitates effective chewing, contributes positively to speech, social confidence and is associated with better cognitive and functional capacity in the elderly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) it is generally acceptable if older patients have about 20 functional teeth in the oral cavity. Toothlessness is today seen as a physical disability, as the imperative part of the body is lost and this in turn affects patients' personal satisfaction.The main goal of this research was to determinate the prosthetic status and the need for prosthetic rehabilitation at the elderly in the city of Strumica, Macedonia, and as specific goals were set as follows: to assess the overall oral health of patients, including the frequency of visiting a dentist, to determine oral hygiene habits; to determine the number of lost teeth associated with the patients’ age; to determine the type of prosthetic appliance and their current state in the patients' mouth; to indicate negative and positive criticism and the level of satisfaction of patients from prosthetic devices (in terms of aesthetics); to determine the type of diet and general health status of patients; to determine the status of total prostheses in terms of retention, stabilization, extension and occlusion.The study included 40 patients from Strumica aged 50 to 75 years, 18 women and 22 men. The presented data were obtained from the research conducted in the period from 20.06.2018 to 30.08.2018 in which the following procedures were performed: anamnestic data, clinical examination and completing a questionnaire by patients.Based on the data obtained, their analysis, and the results of our research, we can make the following conclusions: Hygiene habits and attitudes may be related to gender distribution, level of education, and they do not always produce positive results; Education is one of the most important factors contributing to patients' awareness of their health and the need for regular check-ups in dental practice and daily oral hygiene; General illnesses often play a major role in the oral cavity, and poor habits such as smoking, alcohol consumption and other harmful products, including diet, are major contributing factors to caries and periodontal disease leading to tooth loss; With increasing age, patients have a growing number of lost teeth and their awareness of replacing them is linked to both aesthetic and functional aspects; The dentist should always take care to preserve the natural teeth in the patient's mouth, to get the most out of the situation and to seek the most appropriate prosthetic rehabilitation and prosthetic compensation.

Disease Effect

The current COVID-19 pandemic has affected a vast majority of people throughout the world. It has impacted the oral health of many people due to several reasons. This article reviews various increasing oral health problems that have been reported frequently throughout the course of the disease, effect of bad oral hygiene on severity of COVID-19 and the basic measures to be taken for prevention of such problems. On one hand the use of corticosteroids and antiviral therapy to treat COVID-19 has led to increased fungal infections such as candidiasis and mucormycosis of oral cavity while on the other hand the stress of isolation has caused escalation of bruxism and temporomandibular disorders. Taste disorders due to COVID-19 are also very common. It has also been suggested that a good oral hygiene is advantageous in preventing the development of complications of COVID-19. Many post-COVID oral health problems such as dry mouth are frequently observed.

The Relationship

Abstract Background Little is known about the relationship between oral hygiene and multidrug-resistant organism in the mouth and gut. We aimed to assess the relationship of oral hygiene and diet with multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) carriage in the oral cavity and gut. Methods Participants were adults over age 18 from the 2016–2017 Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW) and its ancillary Wisconsin Microbiome Study. SHOW surveys residents of Wisconsin, collecting health determinants including a food frequency questionnaire, oral health, as well as biologic specimens. MDROs were defined as the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, and Fluoroquinolone-resistant Gram-negative bacteria identified via culture from saliva, oral swabs, and stool samples. Statistical analysis was performed in R v3.5.1. Univariate analyses were conducted for all variables in the data set. Any variable with a P-value < 0.2 in the univariate analysis was considered for the logistic regression. Logistic regression using the glm function was done modeling MDRO carriage in either the saliva, oral swab, saliva and oral samples combined, and stool against diet, oral health, and known confounders. Results 876 participants were included in the dataset with all 876 providing oral and stool samples and 784 providing saliva samples. Thirty-three patients were MDRO positive in the saliva (4.2%), 36 were positive in the oral swabs (4.1%), 55 were positive in either the saliva or oral swabs (6.3%), and 103 were positive in the stool (11.8%). In the logistic regression, consumption of whole grains was significantly associated with reduced MDRO carriage in the saliva (P = 0.046) and saliva and oral swab combined (P = 0.036) data sets (Table 1). Conclusion Consuming more whole grains was associated with a lower prevalence of MDRO carriage in the oral cavity. Higher levels of sugar consumption were associated with a higher prevalence of MDRO in the gut. Oral hygiene was not found to be associated with MDRO colonization in the mouth and a higher prevalence in the gut in this cross-sectional study. This may be due to over-reporting of hygiene practices by participants. Being positive for an MDRO in the oral cavity significantly increased the risk of MDRO carriage in the gut.

Candidal Colonization

Smoking is associated with a variety of changes in the oral cavity. Smoking has effects on oral commensal microorganisms, mainly Candida, which causes oral thrush. This infection disease is caused by oral candida colonies growth. How smoking affects oral candida colonies growth is still controversial. The aim of this study is to prove smoking causes oral candida colonies growth. This study is an observational analytic study. The sample of this study consisted of smokers and nonsmokers; oral candida is taken in the oral cavity using swab method. Candida is identified using sabouraud’s dextrose agar (SDA) and incubated at 37⁰C for 24-48 hours. We are asking how to maintain oral hygiene and about oral complaints that carried out using a questionnaire. Oral candidal colonization are both higher in the smokers compared to the nonsmokers; however, the difference was not statistically significant. The p-value is 0.820 (p value> 0.05). Smoking does not cause oral candida colonies growth. Have a good habits of maintaining oral health may control oral candida colonies growth.

Exciting Time

Pregnancy is a unique, exciting time in a woman's life, and there are so many changes going on in human body during pregnancy and mouth is no exception , so good oral hygiene is extremely important during pregnancy . Usually oral health is often the most neglected form of health during all stages of life & the most important cause for this neglection is lack of awareness among people & this problems also increases when a lady is pregnant because of mis-perceptions and mis-leading information in the society or due to lack of knowledge. But the fact is during pregnancy many complex physiologic changes occur in the women’s body, which can adversely affect oral health and in turn those oral health problems may lead to pregnancy outcomes like preterm birth or low birth weight. Proper oral care is of utmost importance during pregnancy to avoid these complications. Avoiding foods that may cause oral problems, proper brushing and flossing and having dental consultations on a regular basis are steps to ensure good oral health during pregnancy.

International Experts

Since the 1990s numerous international experts have reported about the somatic complications of eating disorders including those having a dental and stomatological nature. Several reports emphasised that deformations in the oral cavity resulting from this grave nutritional disease typical of the young generation could already appear in the early stage and, therefore, dentists are among the first to diagnose them. Dentists are still often unaware of the importance of their role in multidisciplinary treatment. Even if they knew what the disease was about and recognised it on the basis of deformations in the oral cavity in time, their advice that their patients should brush their teeth more often would fail to eliminate the root cause of the problem. Not only the earliest possible treatment of the complications of the bingeing-purging mechanism and the maintenance of oral hygiene are important, but controlling and curing pathological habits with active participation of psychiatrists are also required to ensure full recovery. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the disease, manifold communication is required. For this reason, publishing the dental ramifications of organic and systemic diseases at dental conferences and in technical journals, as well as providing information about oral complications of eating disorders for general practitioners and specialists are particularly important.
