The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the results.
The mean deviation values and positive volumes decreased with the decrease in residual teeth, and the negative volumes showed an opposite trend. The mean deviation values, root mean square, and positive volumes were not significantly different. The negative volume of the crowns of Type I was different from that of Type IV (p = 0.031).
Residual dentition affects the dynamic adjustment of wear facet morphology. When there are insufficient residual teeth, mandibular movements should be accurately measured.

To retrospectively assess the interproximal bone loss (CBL) in external hexagon implants (EHI), with different surface micro-topography, placed in the posterior mandible in patients with a history of periodontitis undergoing supportive periodontal care.
268 consecutive patients received 755 EHI implants in the mandibular molar region between 2007 and 2015 with the following surface characteristics 72 turned, 145 hybrids (double acid-etched/turned), and 538 anodized. CBL was yearly evaluated by analysing calibrated digital periapical radiographs, with a follow-up of 1-6years. Data on implant survival were also calculated.
At 6years (53 patients), the mean CBL was 1.34/1.42mm at patient/implant level, respectively (range 0-5.2mm). Significantly higher CBL was detected in anodized implants than in turned and hybrid implants (1.92/1.46/1.02mm) (p<.01). The maximum CBL values were found in 2 anodized implants at 4years (6.3 and 8.1mm). CBL≥2mm was detected in 18% of implants at 3years and 35% at 6 (p<2.2×10
), this prevalence being 2.6 times higher in the anodized than in the hybrid and turned group (40%/15.6%, p<.0094). At 6years, 25 anodized implants presented CBL≥3mm (18%). 6 anodized implants (5 patients) were removed between 4 and 5years.
A significant higher CBL was observed in anodized, compared to hybrid and turned implants, when placed in the mandibular molar region of periodontal patients, with a follow-up of 1 to 6years.

To evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-month multifactorial intervention by primary care nurses using health assets in increasing adherence to physical activity prescription (150min/week) in patients with two or more cardiovascular risk factors.
Physical activity promotion is a priority and helps to decrease mortality risk due to cardiovascular diseases. However, adherence to the habitual physical activity prescription in primary healthcare settings is low.
Multicentre, single-blind, parallel randomized (in two different branches) clinical trial.
In total, 263 participants from 20 primary healthcare centres in Mallorca completed the randomized controlled trial study (intervention group N=128, control group N=135). The intervention consisted in four visits and included a motivational interview and an individualized prescription of physical activity using health assets. Primary outcome measure was the number of participants performing at least 150min of weekly physical activity. Secondary outcomes includts and motivational interview can help to increase physical activity levels of patients. The main finding of the present study was that prescription using this approach was shown to be effective, leading to a higher adherence in the intervention group. This intervention is feasible in the nurse's primary healthcare setting, thus it could be implemented as the main tool when exercise is prescribed.

To evaluate the prevalence of peri-implant diseases and to identify risk/protective indicators of peri-implantitis.
Two hundred and forty randomly selected patients from a university clinic database were invited to participate. Those who accepted, once data from their medical and dental history were collected, were examined clinically and radiographically to assess the prevalence of peri-implant health and diseases. Peri-implantitis was defined as the presence of BoP/SoP together with radiographic bone levels (BL) ≧2mm. An intermediate peri-implant health category between peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis was also identified, defined by the presence of BoP/SoP together with 1mm ≦BL<2mm. A multilevel multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify those factors associated either positively (risk) or negatively (protective) with peri-implantitis.
Ninety-nine patients with a total of 458 dental implants were analyzed. The prevalences of pre-periimplantitis and of peri-imp as risk- and protective- indicators of peri-implantitis.
Peri-implant diseases are highly prevalent among patients with dental implants in this university-based population. Bcl-2 apoptosis pathway Several factors were identified as risk- and protective- indicators of peri-implantitis.
To compare the marginal bone level around implants with a thin multi-phosphonate coated surface after either an early or conventional loading protocol.
A randomized pilot clinical trial was conducted. Dental impressions were obtained after either 4 (test) or 8weeks (control) and single crowns screwed-in 2weeks later. Several variables were evaluated including radiographical marginal bone level (MBL), patient's level variables, and those related to the restoration and surrounding tissues. These data were obtained at several time points up to a 1-year follow-up.
Thirty-four patients were included in the study, 18 assigned to the test group. No differences at implant placement were detected for tissue thickness, keratinized mucosa, nor any other clinical or radiological variable. At the time of impressions, tissue was thinner in the test group (2.30 (0.46) versus 2.78 (0.66) mm, test versus control, respectively; p=.012) so shorter abutments were used in this group. Regardless, no significant changes in marginal bone level were detected neither within group along time nor between groups.
