Understanding the Influence of Patient Factors on Accuracy and Decision-making in a Diagnostic Accuracy Study with Multiple Raters - a Case Study from Dentistry
Abstract: In diagnostic accuracy studies, the test of interest is typically applied only once in each patient. This paper illustrates some possibilities that arise when diagnoses are carried out by a sufficiently large number of multiple raters. In a dental study, sixty-one examiners were asked to diagnose 49 tooth areas with different grades of tissue loss (minor, moderate, and advanced) to decide whether dentine was exposed (positive status) or not (negative status). The true status was determined by histology (reference). For each tooth, the rate of correct decisions reflecting the difficulty to diagnose this tooth and the positive rate reflecting the perception of the tooth by the raters...
Long-term Results of Implants and Implant-supported Prostheses Under Systematic Supportive Implant Therapy: a Retrospective 25-year Study
Abstract: Background Long-term data (>10 years) concerning the survival and success rates of implants and implant-supported prostheses are scarce. Purpose The present investigation represents one of the first studies on dental implants covering an observational period of 25 years. Materials and methods This study presents the results obtained in 26 patients with 75 implants who participated over a 23- to 28-year period in a supportive implant therapy (SIT) program at a private dental practice. We extracted existing data from the patients' files (pocket depths [PDs], bleeding on probing [BoP], radiographic peri-implant bone loss, and survival rates of the implant-supported prostheses). Result...

Microbial biofilm plays an important role in the life cycle of microorganisms surviving in diverse and harsh environments such as extremes of temperatures, pH, salinity, nutrient scarcity etc. Biofilm formation is a survival strategy adopted by microorganisms allowing colonization in new niches by dispersal of microbes from the microbial clusters embedded within an outer polymer layer produced by the microorganism itself. This layer comprises of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that helps the indwelling microbes to grow and divide in a protected environment against invaders like antimicrobial agents, surfactant, biocides and phagocytic cells of host organisms. Thus, EPS matrix preven...
Does Oral Implant Design Affect Marginal Bone Loss? Results of a Parallel-group Randomized Controlled Equivalence Trial
Abstract: Objective. To test whether or not the modified design of the test implant (intended to increase primary stability) has an equivalent effect on MBL compared to the control. Methods. Forty patients were randomly assigned to receive test or control implants to be installed in identically dimensioned bony beds. Implants were radiographically monitored at installation, at prosthetic delivery, and after one year. Treatments were considered equivalent if the 90% confidence interval (CI) for the mean difference (MD) in MBL was in between −0.25 and 0.25 mm. Additionally, several soft tissue parameters and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were evaluated. Linear mixed models were f...
