1. Översiktlig projektbeskrivning
Sammanfattning av projektet
Eftersom det i litteraturen rapporteras om ett mycket lågt samband mellan kroppens bentäthet och käkarnas bentäthet vill vi undersöka de lokala funktionella faktorer: tuggmusklen och antalet tänder som bitar ihop. Tuggmusklens tjocklek utvärderas med hjälp av ultraljud. Antalet tänder i ocklusion registreras på kliniken med en vanlig plast strip. Multipla korrelationsanalyser utförs med Underkäkens bentäthet (från tidigare studier) som avhängig variabel och tuggmusklens tjocklek och antal tänder i ocklusion som oavhängiga variabler.Typ av projekt
ForskningsprojektMeSH-termer för att beskriva ämnesområdet
Inlagda MeSH-termer- Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal
- Metabolic disorder associated with fractures of the femoral neck, vertebrae, and distal forearm. It occurs commonly in women within 15-20 years after menopause, and is caused by factors associated with menopause including estrogen deficiency.
- Women
- Human adult females as cultural, psychological, sociological, political, and economic entities.
- Radiography, Dental
- Radiographic techniques used in dentistry.
- Masseter Muscle
- A masticatory muscle whose action is closing the jaws.
- Adult
- A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age.
- Age Factors
- Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.
- Aged
- A person 65 through 79 years of age. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available.
- Dental Occlusion
- The relationship of all the components of the masticatory system in normal function. It has special reference to the position and contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth for the highest efficiency during the excursive movements of the jaw that are essential for mastication. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p556, p472)
- Female
- Gastrointestinal Diseases
- Diseases in any segment of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT from ESOPHAGUS to RECTUM.
- Humans
- Members of the species Homo sapiens.
- Mandible
- The largest and strongest bone of the FACE constituting the lower jaw. It supports the lower teeth.
- Menopause
- The last menstrual period. Permanent cessation of menses (MENSTRUATION) is usually defined after 6 to 12 months of AMENORRHEA in a woman over 45 years of age. In the United States, menopause generally occurs in women between 48 and 55 years of age.
- Middle Aged
- Tooth
- Bone Density
- The amount of mineral per square centimeter of BONE. This is the definition used in clinical practice. Actual bone density would be expressed in grams per milliliter. It is most frequently measured by X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY or TOMOGRAPHY, X RAY COMPUTED. Bone density is an important predictor for OSTEOPOROSIS.
- Oral Health
- The optimal state of the mouth and normal functioning of the organs of the mouth without evidence of disease.
- Public Health Dentistry
- A dental specialty concerned with the prevention of disease and the maintenance of oral health through promoting organized dental health programs at a community, state, or federal level.
- Dental Care
- The total of dental diagnostic, preventive, and restorative services provided to meet the needs of a patient (from Illustrated Dictionary of Dentistry, 1982).
