Summary: The study found that using written communication strategies, particularly when supplemented with visual aids, could effectively improve the understanding of information related to factors associated with peri-implantitis. However, this approach did not have a significant impact on recall or changing behavioral intentions over follow-up.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationships between oral hygiene habits, oral health status, and cognitive function in older adults. The results showed that poor periodontal status, multiple tooth loss, infrequent toothbrushing, and delayed dental visits were associated with cognitive impairment. Adequate toothbrushing could indirectly prevent cognitive decline by improving periodontal health in older adults without cognitive impairment. Nursing professionals and health care policymakers should promote improved oral hygiene in older adults and provide regular professional oral hygiene care for those with cognitive impairment.

Summary: The study aimed to test the effectiveness of a person-centred and theory-based educational intervention to improve adolescents' adherence to oral hygiene behaviors. Results showed significant improvements in gingival bleeding and plaque scores at 6 months, with the test group showing greater improvements compared to the control group, indicating the effectiveness of the intervention in improving adolescents' oral hygiene behavior and periodontal infection control.

Summary: This study found significant differences in the oral microbiota of patients with PD compared to healthy controls, possibly due to factors such as dysphagia, drooling, and salivary pH. Understanding the factors influencing their oral microbiota could lead to the development of diagnostic and treatment strategies to improve the quality of life and survival of these patients.

Summary: This study investigated the association between oral health parameters and Meniere's disease in a population-based cohort database. The findings suggest that periodontitis and an increased number of missing teeth are associated with an increased risk of Meniere's disease, while good oral hygiene, such as frequent tooth brushing and dental scaling, may be associated with a decreased risk.

Summary: This study revealed a link between poor oral health, like periodontitis, missing teeth, and dental caries, and an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. Conversely, good oral hygiene behaviors such as frequent teeth brushing and dental scaling within 1 year were associated with a reduced risk.

Summary: This study examined the association between oral health status and oral hygiene behaviors with the occurrence of cataract. The results showed that periodontitis and an increased number of missing teeth were associated with an increased risk of cataract, while good oral hygiene behaviors, such as regular tooth brushing and dental scaling, were associated with a lower risk of cataract occurrence.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the associations of periodontitis and oral hygiene status and behaviors with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The results showed that participants with periodontitis and a higher number of missing teeth had a higher risk of developing RA. In contrast, better oral hygiene behaviors, such as frequent tooth brushing and recent dental scaling, were associated with a lower occurrence of RA.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the correlation between bacterial dental plaque accumulation and gingival health in subjects with a history of periodontitis using different intervals of personal oral hygiene measures. The results showed that subjects with extended intervals of oral hygiene measures exhibited an increased correlation between plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation.

Summary: The study investigated dental caries experience in adults in core Sami areas of Northern Norway, revealing a common occurrence of caries, with a higher prevalence in coastal regions. Factors associated with dental caries included living in coastal areas, consuming sugary drinks, infrequent toothbrushing, and irregular dental visits. Minor differences in caries experience were found between Sami and non-Sami individuals within these regions.

Summary: This study aimed to explore self-reported oral health in different age groups and its associations with various factors. Results showed significant age-group differences in self-reported and clinical oral health measures, as well as in the use of dental services. Financial barriers for receiving dental health services were found, particularly among young adults, which was associated with poorer self-reported oral health.

Summary: In an adult population in Troms County in Northern Norway, women had a higher prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) symptoms than men, with headache being the most common self-reported symptom and sounds from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) being the most common clinical symptom. TMD-related pain symptoms were significantly associated with poor self-reported general health and correlated more strongly with oral health related quality of life (OHQoL).

Summary: This study did not provide consistent evidence to support the hypothesis that children and adolescents with JIA are more likely to have impaired oral health-related quality of life compared to their peers without JIA. However, female adolescents with JIA were more likely than males to report impacts on oral health-related quality of life. Furthermore, within the JIA group, adolescents with continued disease activity, flare or reporting pain, physical disability, had higher risk than their counterparts of impaired oral health-related quality of life.

Summary: This study analysed the self-reported experiences and behavioural outcomes of adolescents in improving oral hygiene through a person-centred, theory-based intervention compared to conventional information/instruction. The results showed that the person-centred intervention was more effective in terms of education and communication during therapy, as well as self-reported oral hygiene behaviour outcomes at 6 months compared to the control group.

Summary: This study investigated the association between periodontitis and four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes related to DNA methylation, as well as the association between these SNPs and tooth loss, hs-CRP, and HbA1c levels. The results showed that there were associations between polymorphism in genes related to DNA methylation and periodontitis, tooth loss, low-grade inflammation, and hyperglycemia in this Norwegian population.
