Abstract

Dental restoration failure is a high-prevalence and multifactorial etiology with a considerable clinical and economic burden in all countries, but context-specific epidemiological data on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were rare, which restricted the construction of specific preventive measures. The objectives of this study were to establish the prevalence, identify the major risk factors, and assess the influence of dental restoration issues on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of a Saudi patient group. The facet of clinical evaluation was a cross-sectional analytic study of the three large public dental facilities in Riyadh, which consisted of 450 patients and clinical analysis of 1,127 restorations. Standardized examinations and validated questionnaires (OHIP-14) were used to collect data, and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze them. The general rate of restoration issues was 20.1% and the most frequent problem of failure was secondary caries (43.2%). The patient-reported bruxism (AOR=2.21, 95% CI: 1.6130.44, p<0.001), poor oral hygiene (AOR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.412.99, p<0.001) and excessive intake of sugary beverages (AOR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.232.27, p=0.001) were also The relationship between dose and response was found to be strong with the more the number of failed restorations the worse the OHRQoL scores were found to be (p<0.001). The results clearly show that modifiable behavioral risks that are modifiable are the leading causes of restoration failure in this context, and thus the necessity to incorporate a comprehensive clinical strategy that emphasizes behavioral management that focuses on patients and the technical restorative care that enhances long-term outcomes.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
