- Interventions for dysphagia in long‐term, progressive muscle disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Feb-2016
Normal swallowing function is divided into oral, pharyngeal, and oesophageal phases. The anatomy and physiology of the oral cavity facilitates an oral preparatory phase of swallowing, in which food and liquid are pushed towards the pharynx by the tongue.
- Interventions for growth failure in childhood Crohn's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Oct-2006
Crohn's disease in childhood is a chronic relapsing condition. Fifteen to forty per cent of children with Crohn's disease have growth retardation (Griffiths 1993a). Some treatment modalities including corticosteroids have been implicated in growth failure
- Interventions for improving oral health in people after stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2020
For people with physical, sensory and cognitive limitations due to stroke, the routine practice of oral health care (OHC) may become a challenge. Evidence-based supported oral care intervention is essential for this patient group.
- Interventions for nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Sep-2015
Nausea, retching and vomiting are very commonly experienced by women in early pregnancy. There are considerable physical, social and psychological effects on women who experience these symptoms. This is an update of a review of interventions for nausea an
- Interventions for preventing oral mucositis for patients with cancer receiving treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Apr-2011
Treatment of cancer is increasingly more effective but is associated with short and long term side effects. Oral side effects remain a major source of illness despite the use of a variety of agents to prevent them. One of these side effects is oral mucosi
- Interventions for prevention of post‐operative recurrence of Crohn's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2009
Recurrence of Crohn's disease is common after intestinal resection. A number of agents have been studied in controlled trials with the goal of reducing the risk of endoscopic or clinical recurrence of Crohn's disease following surgery.
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: 1- versus 2-stage implant placement
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-May-2018
Implants may be placed penetrating the oral mucosa (1-stage procedure) or can be completely buried under the oral mucosa (2-stage procedure) during the healing phase of the bone at the implant surface. With a 2-stage procedure the risk of having unwanted
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: antibiotics at dental implant placement to prevent complications
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Jul-2013
Some dental implant failures may be due to bacterial contamination at implant insertion. Infections around biomaterials are difficult to treat, and almost all infected implants have to be removed. In general, antibiotic prophylaxis in surgery is only indi
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: dental implants in fresh extraction sockets (immediate, immediate‐delayed and delayed implants)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Sep-2010
'Immediate' implants are placed in dental sockets just after tooth extraction. 'Immediate-delayed' implants are those implants inserted after weeks up to about a couple of months to allow for soft tissue healing. 'Delayed' implants are those placed therea
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: dental implants in zygomatic bone for the rehabilitation of the severely deficient edentulous maxilla
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Sep-2013
Dental implants are used for replacing missing teeth. Placing dental implants is limited by the presence of adequate bone volume permitting their anchorage. Several bone augmentation procedures have been developed to solve this problem. Zygomatic implants
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: denture chewing surface designs in edentulous people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Dec-2015
When constructing complete dentures for edentulous patients, ultimately patient satisfaction is key. Complete dentures can be produced with different types of occlusal schemes (chewing surfaces) and it is widely accepted that the occlusal scheme for compl
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: different times for loading dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Mar-2013
To minimise the risk of implant failures after their placement, dental implants are kept load-free for 3 to 8 months to establish osseointegration (conventional loading). It would be beneficial if the healing period could be shortened without jeopardising
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: different types of dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Oct-2019
Dental implants are available in different materials, shapes and with different surface characteristics. In particular, numerous implant designs and surface modifications have been developed for improving clinical outcome. This is an update of a Cochrane
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: horizontal and vertical bone augmentation techniques for dental implant treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2009
Dental implants require sufficient bone to be adequately stabilised. For some patients implant treatment would not be an option without horizontal or vertical bone augmentation. A variety of materials and surgical techniques are available for bone augment
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: hyperbaric oxygen therapy for irradiated patients who require dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Oct-2013
Dental implants offer one way to replace missing teeth. Patients who have undergone radiotherapy and those who have also undergone surgery for cancer in the head and neck region may particularly benefit from reconstruction with implants. Hyperbaric oxygen
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: maintaining and recovering soft tissue health around dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Aug-2010
It is important to institute an effective supportive therapy to maintain or recover soft tissue health around dental implants. Different maintenance regimens have been suggested, however it is unclear which are the most effective.
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: management of soft tissues for dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2012
Dental implants are usually placed by elevating a soft tissue flap, but in some instances, they can also be placed flapless reducing patient discomfort. Several flap designs and suturing techniques have been proposed. Soft tissues are often manipulated an
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: preprosthetic surgery versus dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2015
Preprosthetic surgery refers to the surgical procedures that can modify the oral anatomy to facilitate the retention of conventional dentures. Osseointegrated implants offer an alternative treatment to improve denture retention. A denture may be connected
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: treatment of peri‐implantitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2012
One of the key factors for the long-term success of oral implants is the maintenance of healthy tissues around them. Bacterial plaque accumulation induces inflammatory changes in the soft tissues surrounding oral implants and it may lead to their progress
- Interventions for the management of oral submucous fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jul-2008
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic disease of the oral cavity which is more commonly found in patients in the Asian subcontinent and the Far East. It is characterised by the progressive build up of constricting bands of collagen in the cheeks and
