Functional characteristics of periodontitis and peri-implantitis lesions in humans
(2023-11-14)In the current series of studies functional characteristics of periodontitis and peri-implantitis lesions in humans were investigated. Cell markers for antimicrobial activity were used to evaluate differences between ... -
The Oral Hygiene Ability Instrument-OHAI Development and evaluation of an instrument measuring the cause of poor oral hygiene self-care in older adults
(2023-11-02)Oral hygiene is an important preventive measure to maintain good oral health in the growing group of older adults. Oral hygiene often deteriorates with age, but the causes of this at the individual level are rarely ... -
On biological response and wear particles around oral implants and implant components
(2023-11-01)ABSTRACT Wear particles released from implant components are gaining interest in the dental literature. In orthopedic medicine, wear particles are known to cause bone loss around medical implants in an aseptic manner and ... -
On oral health before and after obesity treatment
(2023-09-12)The overall aim of this thesis was to study the oral health of individuals with obesity and how oral health may be affected by medical and surgical obesity treatment. The thesis comprises three study populations, with ... -

(2023-08-16)Bone health has a major impact on life quality. In Sweden, osteoporosis is a highly prevalent skeletal disease that primarily affects the elderly, causing fragility fractures and pain. Local pathological bone defects due ... -
Decontamination of implant surfaces
(2023-04-06)Peri-implantitis is a pathological condition occurring in tissues around dental implants. It is caused by microorganisms and characterized by inflammation in the peri-implant connective tissue and progressive loss of ... -
Caries Prevention in Patients Undergoing Orthodontic Treatment
(2022-10-14)Background: Scientifically based guidelines to predict and prevent caries during orthodontic treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances are lacking. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to improve caries risk assessment ... -
Young adults and oral health - Oral health behaviors and an intervention for better oral health
(2022-08-22)Although the oral health among young adults in Sweden is generally good, there are groups where poor oral health remains a problem. The aim of this thesis is to increase our knowledge of oral health and oral health-related ... -
Neutrophil Serine Proteases in Health and Disease
(2022-05-17)Neutrophils are filled with many antimicrobial agents, including the neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs); a group of proteases including Elastase, Proteinase 3, and Cathepsin G. Synthesized as inactive proforms, the NSPs ... -
Evidence-based dental hygenist practice in the non-surgical therapy of patients with periodontitis: outcomes of therapy and factors associated with the quality of care
(2022-04-05)The overall aim was to investigate clinical and patient-reported outcomes of non-surgical treatment approaches to periodontitis and factors associated with the quality of care provided by dental hygienists (DHs) in general ... -
Cobalt-Chromium alloys in fixed prosthodontics
(2022-03-03)Gold and its alloys have been the dominant framework materials in metal-ceramic constructions when substantial loss of tooth substance or missing teeth needs to be replaced. However, base metal alloys, such as cobalt-chromium ... -
