To describe the clinical procedures of complete denture set fabrication in three appointments.
Background
Simplified approaches have proven not to be inferior to conventional ones in terms of quality, patient satisfaction and masticatory ability.
Materials and Methods
The patient was a 77-year-old edentulous adult with mobility impairment seeking dental rehabilitation in a small number of appointments due to commuting difficulties.
Results
A set of complete dentures was delivered within three appointments. The second appointment was dedicated to set-up trial due to the patient's aesthetic demands.
Conclusion
Under certain circumstances and after a thorough study of each case, dental clinicians may propose the fabrication of complete dentures in a three-appointment protocol incorporating a set-up trial session.

Background
This systematic review investigated the prevalence of orofacial pain in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia.
Materials and methods
The search was conducted in five databases (Medline (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL, Scopus and LILACS), in three grey literature sources and in included articles' reference lists. Three independent reviewers performed study selection, quality appraisal and data extraction. The risk of bias was assessed with the National Institutes of Health tool. Prevalence was calculated using the random-effects model. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression were used to explore the heterogeneity of results.
Results
The database and grey literature search led to 12 246 results, from which nine studies were included; a further four were selected through citation searching. The total sample comprised 6115 patients with dementia and 84 with MCI. All studies had high risk of bias. The overall estimated pooled prevalence of orofacial pain among dementia participants was 19.0% (95% CI, 11.0%-27.0%; I2, 97.1%, P < .001). Only one study included MCI participants, among which the prevalence of orofacial pain was 20.5%. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that the different sources of diagnosis might explain the heterogeneity. A higher prevalence of orofacial pain was observed in dementia participants aged over 80 years or living in nursing homes. Meta-regression analysis showed a nonlinear relationship between age and the prevalence of orofacial pain.
Conclusions
The pooled data from the primary studies revealed that 2 out of 10 patients with dementia have orofacial pain. Further research is needed to clarify the magnitude in individuals with MCI.

Objective
To evaluate clinical parameters that affect the performance of root-supported overdentures (ROD) and to identify the possible factors that may affect it.
Background
ROD still serve as an alternative and successful treatment plan nowadays for partially edentulous patients. Nonetheless, there is not yet conclusive evidence about their clinical evaluation.
Materials and Methods
A search strategy was developed following a PIO (Population, Intervention, Outcome) framework including an electronic search in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library and Scopus. The systematic search included only randomised controlled clinical trials (RCTs), published until January 2023 in English language and was performed by two independent reviewers. Quality assessment of the included studies was conducted according to the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool.
Results
The final selection of studies included 11 RCTs. Clinically relevant variables derived from this search were: Complications, with caries being the most frequently reported, periodontal aspects and bone changes around abutment teeth. Additionally, methods and clinical suggestions for the maintenance of these restorations and patient-related outcomes were assessed. According to the risk of bias assessment, nine studies were considered of high risk, whereas only 2 of low risk. A meta-analysis was not feasible.
Conclusion
Within the limitations of this systematic review, ROD remain a viable treatment plan, offering better denture stability and bone preservation around abutment teeth and high patient satisfaction. Thorough oral hygiene and regular follow-ups are of utmost importance. Further well-designed RCTs are necessary for firmer conclusions.

Background
To address poor oral health of residents in long-term care homes (LTCH), this study explored the process of integrating an educational resource and a dental hygienist on the interprofessional care team.
Methods
This convergent mixed-methods study took place at a 472-bed LTCH in Toronto, Canada from February to August 2018. Nurses employed at the LTCH participated in the study. During the study period, a dental hygienist was integrated into an interprofessional LTCH team. Nurses completed an online eLearning module about using the Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT) when referring residents' oral health concerns to a. Pre/post knowledge quizzes, module feedback and satisfaction surveys were administered. A retrospective chart review examined OHAT use and compared nurse and dental hygienist oral health assessments. Two cycles of semi-structured interviews with five nurses explored experiences with the eLearning module, OHAT and integration of the dental hygienist into the team.
Results
Nurses scored well on the knowledge quizzes and reported comfort in using the OHAT to refer oral concerns to a dental hygienist; however, actual use was minimal. oral health issues were under-reported by nurses on the Resident Assessment Instrument–Minimum Data Set (RAI-MDS); the dental hygienist reported significantly more debris, teeth lost and carious teeth (all P < 0.0001). Qualitative analysis indicated that the nurses valued dental hygienist integration into the team. Using knowledge mobilisation practices, a new oral health referral tool was developed.
Conclusions
This study highlights the feasibility and desirability of an oral health eLearning module, practical assessment tools and participation of a dental hygienist on the LTCH interprofessional care team.

BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a common cutaneous disease; however, information about psoriasis-related oral mucosal lesions is scarce in the literature. CASE DESCRIPTION We report a case of a 73-year-old male patient with cutaneous and oral palatal alterations. An incisional biopsy of these lesions revealed psoriasis. CONCLUSION The current case highlights the importance of a systematic examination of the oral cavity in psoriasis patients for the appropriate diagnosis and management on the control of these lesions.
