Journal ArticleDOI
Coaggregation-Mediated Interactions of Streptococci and Actinomyces Detected in Initial Human Dental Plaque
TL;DR: The first direct demonstration of coaggregation-mediated interactions during initial plaque accumulation in vivo is demonstrated and demonstrates the spatiotemporal development and prevalence of mixed-species communities in early dental plaque.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a brief and effective temporomandibular disorder pain screening questionnaire: Reliability and validity
Yoly Gonzalez,Eric L. Schiffman,Sharon M. Gordon,Bradley Seago,Edmond L. Truelove,Gary D. Slade,Richard Ohrbach +6 more
TL;DR: The excellent levels of reliability, sensitivity and specificity demonstrate the validity and usefulness of this instrument will allow clinicians to identify more readily-and cost-effectively-most patients with painful TMD conditions for whom early and reliable identification would have a significant effect on diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blockade of peripheral neuronal barrage reduces postoperative pain
TL;DR: The results suggest that blockade of nociceptive input by administration of a long‐acting local anesthetic decreases the development of central hyperexcitability, resulting in less pain and analgesic intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dental fear and anxiety as a barrier to accessing oral health care among patients with special health care needs
TL;DR: The levels of self-reported fear/anxiety and the high proportion of respondents indicating an unmet need for adjunctive anesthesia services suggest that fear/Anxiety acts as a barrier to dental care among this special-needs group which could be ameliorated with greater use of these services.
