Biocompatibility of a titanium dioxide ‐coating method for denture base acrylic resin
ConclusionThese results tested on animals demonstrate that denture base resin coated with TiO2 by this method does not cause irritation or sensitisation of the oral mucosa, skin or intracutaneous tissue and is therefore good biocompatibility for use in close proximity to oral mucosa and skin.

Oral health ‐related knowledge, attitudes and self‐efficacy of Australian rural older adults
ConclusionFindings indicate that there were some misconceptions in oral health among this group of older adults. These are important influences on the success/failure of an oral health programme. Oral health education is needed to increase older adults' oral health knowledge, in particular of oral cancer, and to some extent periodontal disease, and improves attitudes and oral health self‐efficacy. Oral health knowledge, attitudes and self‐efficacy were minimally explained by socio‐demographic and clinical variables. (Source: Gerodontology)

End ‐of‐life palliative oral care in Norwegian health institutions. An exploratory study
ConclusionsSome terminal patients do not receive adequate palliative oral care in Norwegian healthcare institutions. Those that do are exposed to a great number of undocumented procedures and sometimes harmful products. There is a need for evidence‐based procedures for oral care for terminally ill patients in health institutions, establishing interprofessional palliative healthcare teams and in particular improved training of the nursing staff.
