    Notes: The tactile function of the human periodontal mechanoreceptors has mostly been studied by psychophysical approaches. It was concluded that periodontal mechanoreceptors play a major role in the tactile function of teeth. It must be noted however that the interocclusal tactile threshold is not solely determined by periodontal mechanoreceptors but also by pulpal, muscular or articular receptors. While temporomandibular joint receptors play a minor role, muscular receptors are important in the discriminatory ability for a mouth opening of 5 mm and more. To discriminate between the contribution of periodontal and other receptors in the oral tactile function, future studies should use appropriate psychophysical methodologies and well-defined stimulus parameters.

    Notes: Determinations of interocclusal tactile threshold levels so far have involved neither appropriate psychophysical approaches nor an assessment of the mechanical and thermal properties of the foils used. Twenty subjects (12 females) aged 18 to 50 (mean age 35) were tested for their absolute threshold level (RL). Both the method of limits and the staircase method were applied to determine the active or passive RL. For the active RL assessment, foils of different thicknesses were placed between edge-to-edge opposed incisors during gentle biting. Inner ear receptors of the blindfolded subjects were blocked by broad band noise applied through earphones, because vibrations induced by occlusal contact and conducted through bone might be perceived by these receptors. The foils presented were aluminum (Al), tin (Sn), polyester (PE) and calibrated steel (St) (thickness ranging from 8 to 50 μm) which offer different physical and thermal properties. The range of RL of the group varied between 8 μm for aluminum to 46 μm for polyester for 50% correct assessments. Increasing the foil temperature from room temperature (20°C) to body temperature (35°C) significantly increased the RL for conducting materials (one-way blocked ANOVA). These results indicate that temperature exchange takes place while presenting conducting foils at 20°C (cold stimulus) interocclusally, which influences the RL by activating thermosensitive receptors. The passive RL determination with classical von Frey-hairs resulted in a mean axial RL of 3.0 g. Both psychophysical RL assessments (method of limits, staircase method) gave reproducible and similar results as ascertained by ANOVA. Furthermore, a positive correlation was established between active and passive RL (Pearson correlation test). It is concluded that the physical and thermal properties of the foils need careful consideration in future experiments on threshold determination. Although active RL determination may involve the activation of non-periodontal receptors, it remains a realistic parameter to monitor tactile function of teeth.

    Notes: summary  Some previous studies suggest an association between tooth loss and hearing loss. The aim of this study is to assess the relation between oral status and hearing acuity. Forty-eight patients (mean age: 64·7 years) were allocated to four groups: one was wearing complete dentures in both jaws, another had shortened dental arches, a third had full dental arches in both jaws and the last lacked any occlusal stops (i.e. no occlusal vertical dimension, because of the absence of teeth or occlusal pairs). Audiological testing was performed in a noise-free chamber. Air and bone conduction were checked at different frequencies and the air-bone gap was determined. After correction for age and gender, a difference in air and bone conduction because of the oral status was found for low and for high frequencies while no significant differences were (P 〈 0·05) found for the air-bone gap. The number of teeth, number of occluding tooth pairs and presence or lack of occlusal vertical dimension, was significantly related to the gradient of hearing loss (P 〈 0·05). The discrepancy in hearing loss between complete denture wearers and patients without any occlusal vertical dimension, strengthens the hypothesis that it is the lack of the latter that is associated with hearing loss. At what level hearing loss occurs, needs further investigation.

    Notes: summary  The innervation of skin and oral mucosa plays a major physiological role in exteroception. It also has a clinical interest as illustrated by sensory changes after neurosurgical procedures. These sensory changes often rely only on the patients' subjective reports, although objective assessments are possible. This review compares the neurophysiological features of the trigeminal sensory pathways with those of cutaneous sensory innervation. In this review, three receptor groups will be discussed: mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors and nociceptors. Differences between receptors in the glabrous skin, the hairy skin and the oral mucosa will be highlighted. Sensory testing devices have been developed to quantify psychophysiological parameters such as the threshold level for receptor activation upon mechanical stimulation, but such devices have been merely developed to determine the threshold of skin receptors (tactile, thermal). Later on, some have been adapted to suit the particularities of the oral environment. This review attempts to compare the available literature on test devices for oral versus cutaneous tactile function. It summarizes what is common or rather particular to the devices used to study either cutaneous or oral receptors.

    Notes: Summary Different methods of oral sensory tests including light touch sensation, two-point discrimination, vibrotactile function and thermal sensation were compared. Healthy subjects were tested to assess the results obtained from two psychophysical approaches, namely the staircase and the ascending & descending method of limits for light touch sensation and two-point discrimination. Both methods appeared to be reliable for examining oral sensory function. The effect of topical anaesthesia was also evaluated but no conclusion could be drawn as too few subjects were involved. Newly developed simple testing tools for two-point discrimination and thermal sensation in a clinical situation were developed prior to this study and tested for their reproducibility. Thermal sensation could be reliably detected in repeated trials. Although the hand-held instruments have some drawbacks, the outcome of these instruments in a clinical environment is suitable for assessing oral sensory function. Three different frequencies (32, 128 and 256 Hz) were used to estimate the vibrotactile function. Different threshold levels were found at different frequencies.

    Notes: For several years, osseointegrated implant-supported overdentures have been used in the rehabilitation of full edentulism with excellent results, at least in the lower jaw. This study involved 3 groups of patients with different prosthetic reconstructions:(1) mandibular overdentures supported by 2 implants connected by a bar (30 patients), (2) mandibular fixed prostheses supported by 4–6 implants (25 patients) and (3) mandibular complete dentures without implant support as controls (85 patients). The primary aim of this study was to examine on orthopantomograms (by means of the area index to minimize distortion and magnification errors), posterior mandibular ridge resorption in the 3 treatment groups. The present data demonstrated a minimal posterior mandibular ridge resorption in patients with fixed implant-supported prostheses. A more considerableposterior ridge resorption was observed in the complete denture group and especially in the overdenture wearers. For the latter, the annual posterior jaw bone resorption after the post-extraction remodeling period of 6 months, was 2- to 3-fold that of full denture wearers. When patients were edentulous for more than 10 years, the difference between the 2 latter groups disappeared. It is suggested that although the overdenture design on 2 implants offers advantages from a financial and failure rate point of view, its indications in younger patients should cautiously be evaluated in a long-term perspective concerning posterior mandibular bone resorption.
