Retention af cementerede protetiske erstatninger
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-22)Flere faktorer bidrager til at påvirke den kliniske holdbarhed på cementerede tandrestaureringer. Fordi præparationen af tandvæv til en ekstrakoronal restaurering er irreversibel, udfoldes der stor forskningsaktivitet for at finde metoder og teknikker, der kan minimere biologisk skade, og udvikle nye biomaterialer, som kræver mindre fjernelse af tandvæv. Derfor bliver vi konstant bombarderet med nye ... -

Molar - Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) and long - term exposure to 25 - hydroxyvitamin D, measured as Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in adolescents from Northern Norway: an epidemiological study based on the Tromsø study: “Fit Futures”
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-20)Aims: The basis of the study was to evaluate if MIH could be related to low levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is understood to have a key role in both enamel and dentin formation, and maturation, in addition to skeletal integrity. BMD could give a clue of the participants’ long - term vitamin D exposure, indirectly giving a reflection of a possible vitamin D impact on enamel mineralization. Materials ... -

The association between children’s oral health and parents’ socioeconomic position in Northern Norway
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-20)<p>Background: Dental caries is the most common chronic disease in children. In Norway there are government sponsored programs that give all children (0-18 years) free public dental treatment.
