Functional importance of estrogen receptors in the periodontium
Nebel, Daniel : Faculty of Odontology, Malmö University Swedish Dental Journal, Supplement;221 (2012)	DOCTORAL THESIS

English abstract	The main functions of estrogen are associated with reproduction. However, estrogen has been shown to be of functional importance also in non-classic target organs. Previous studies, especially epidemiologic and clinical ones, have addressed estrogen’s influence on periodontitis, suggesting that estrogen has a beneficial effect, but the biological mechanisms have not been identified. Estrogen exerts genomic effects in the target cells by binding to the nuclear receptors, estrogen...
Swedish abstract	Östrogen är ett kvinnligt könshormon som även har andra effekter. Östrogen verkar i cellkärnan genom att binda till en östrogenreceptor (ER), som finns i två olika typer, ERα och ERβ. Parodontit (tandlossning) är en inflammationssjukdom som drabbar tandens fäste som svar på bakterier som normalt finns i munhålan. I cellmembranet hos vissa bakterier finns en molekyl, LPS, som fungerar retande och startar inflammationen genom att binda till en mottagarmolekyl, som sitter på vita bl...

Chronic intraoral pain - assessment of diagnostic methods and prognosis
Pigg, Maria : Faculty of Odontology, Malmö University Swedish Dental Journal, Supplement;220 (2011)	DOCTORAL THESIS

English abstract

The overall goal of this thesis was to broaden our knowledge of chronic intraoral pain. The research questions were: •What methods can be used to differentiate inflammatory, odontogenic tooth pain from pain that presents as toothache but is non-odontogenic in origin? •What is the prognosis of chronic tooth pain of non-odontogenic origin, and which factors affect the prognosis? Atypical odontalgia (AO) is a relatively rare but severe and chronic pain condition affecting the d...

Porcelain veneering of titanium : clinical and technical aspects
Haag, Per : Faculty of Odontology, Malmö University Swedish Dental Journal;Supplement 217 (2011) Preliminary record	DOCTORAL THESIS

English abstract	Gold and other alloys have since long been used for production of crowns and bridges as replacement for damaged or lost teeth. However, doubts have been arisen on the suitability of using these materials for dental restorations, since also gold has shown capacity to cause side-effects as allergic reactions. This is especially valid for alloys which during the last decades have been used as porcelain- fused-to metal restorations. This fact created an interest in using titanium ins...
Swedish abstract	Guld- och andra legeringar har i många år använts som material vid framställning av kronor och broar för ersättning av skadade eller förlorade tänder. Emellertid har tvivel uppstått kring lämpligheten av att använda guldlegeringar i tandersättningar, då guld har visat sig kunna ge biverkningar i form av allergiska reaktioner. Detta gäller inte minst de legeringar av guld som på senare år använts för att emaljeras med porslin. Dessa händelser gjorde att intresse för titan initiera...

Factors shaping demand for prostethic dentistry treatment with specia...
Narby, Birger Swedish dental journal Supplement;218 (2011)	DOCTORAL THESIS

English abstract

Aim: The main aim of this thesis was to investigate how attitudes influence the latent and manifest need, desire, demand, and utilization for dental implant treatment, considering the gatekeeping process between need and demand, and between demand and utilization of dental treatment. Material and Methods: A conceptual analysis of the need and demand concept from the literature was a first step in the study. A second step was to examine changes in attitudes toward desire fo...

On minor salivary gland secretion in children, adolescents and adults
Sonesson, Mikael : Faculty of Odontology, Malmö University, Malmö, Sweden Swedish dental journal;215 (2011)	DOCTORAL THESIS

English abstract	The minor salivary glands are of great importance for maintenance of homeostasis in the oral cavity. These glands continuously secrete substances which lubricate and protect the oral tissues, contributing to comfort and health. The minor salivary glands contribute approximately 7-8 per cent of the total volume of saliva. Flow rate and composition seem to vary according to anatomical location. Current knowledge about the minor salivary glands is derived primarily from studies on a...
Swedish abstract	Det finns få studier om de små spottkörtlarna, men deras främsta funktion anses vara att skydda individen genom att utsöndra ett skyddande sekret som utgör en slags barriär mot främmande och sjukdomsframkallande substanser. Från observationer på vuxna är det känt att körtlarna producerar en rad antibakteriella ämnen, tillhörande det specifika och det ospecifika immunförsvaret. Vidare anses de små körtlarna ha en smörjande effekt, vilket troligen har stor betydelse för välbefinnan...
