Impacted Maxillary Canines: A Review
Published in Niall MH McLeod, Peter A Brennan, 50 Landmark Papers every Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon Should Know, 2020
Alice Cameron, Serryth Colbert
While a variety of treatment options are available to recover impacted maxillary canines, understanding the aetiology of impaction can guide early intervention, reducing the frequency of subsequent impaction. Selective extraction of the deciduous canine before 11 years of age can normalise the position of the ectopically erupting permanent canine; success rates are dependent on the position of the permanent canine crown in relation to the midline of the lateral incisor.

A fracture is a break in bone tissue and can vary from a minor hairline crack to the complete separation of bone segments. A fracture may be referred to as simple (closed), with no open wound in the skin, or compound (open), with an open wound. Other terms denoting types of fractures include impacted, compression, comminuted, greenstick, and Colles'. Fractures of the vertebral column may be either compression or extension fractures, depending on whether the spine is pressed together or stretched apart. Spinal cord injury can result from extension fractures and dislocations, which usually affect the posterior portions of the vertebral column.
Promoting wellness and managing chronic conditions

Patients’ health is greatly impacted by their behavior. Primary care practitioners can play a major role in preventing chronic diseases and promoting wellness. Physical activity that includes cardiorespiratory, resistance, and flexibility training beyond activities of daily living for a minimum of 30 minutes, five times a week, for a total of at least 150 minutes per week is recommended. A healthy diet includes a higher intake of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and legumes, and a lower intake of red and processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages, and highly refined grains. Motivational interviewing can be used to overcome patients’ resistance to making changes. Stress will cause patients to regress to previous bad habits. The BATHE technique can be employed to ascertain what is going on in patients’ lives and to support patients’ sense of competence. A persistent message of faith in patients’ ability to make positive changes over time will lead to rewarding outcomes.
Biopsychosocial Model of Traumatic Stress Symptoms in Women Experiencing Homelessness: A Qualitative Descriptive Study

The Biopsychosocial Model (BPSM) is a conceptual framework that has been utilized to understand and explain the distinct and overlapping biological, psychological, and socio-environmental factors that contribute to a person’s dynamic health state (Engel, 1977). The BPSM has been employed with diverse populations for nearly five decades to understand the relationships between biopsychosocial determinant domains and varied health conditions, such as PTSD. WEH represent a biopsychosocially unique population, demonstrating profoundly elevated rates of physical and mental health conditions (Dickins et al., 2021). As national interest in trauma-focused interventions mounts, the BPSM may help researchers untangle the Gordian knot of biopsychosocial factors that influence trauma exposure and impact, particularly among high-risk populations like WEH, guiding the tailoring of high-impact interventions (Mann & Marwaha, 2022). This disproportionate toll of biological, psychological, social health conditions may both impact and be impacted by elevated rates of trauma exposure, with trauma symptoms that are frequently left untreated. As many biopsychosocial determinant factors may be amenable to tailored intervention, exploring and describing how these factors are related to trauma among WEH may have health equity-focused research, clinical practice, and policy implications. The purpose of this study was thus to elucidate the biological, psychological, and socio-environmental determinant factors that impact and are impacted by trauma exposure and resultant symptoms among WEH.
Occupational disruption during a pandemic: Exploring the experiences of individuals living with chronic disease

As highlighted by Blickstead and Shapcott (2009), “while everybody is affected by a pandemic, everyone is not affected equally. People with compromised health face greater risks” (p. 2). Tseng (2020) suggested healthcare systems need to be ready for the ‘aftershocks’ of a pandemic, one being the ‘collateral damage’ caused by the interrupted care of people who have chronic diseases. For people with chronic disease, their roles, routines, and ability to take care of themselves (e.g., eat healthy meals, exercise, take medications, attend doctor appointments), enjoy leisure pursuits (e.g., spend time with friends and family, socialize), or productively contribute to their communities (e.g., work outside the home, volunteer) can be significantly impacted or restricted when disruptions in occupations are experienced, as in the case of a pandemic (Townsend & Polatajko, 2007).
Incidence of impacted teeth requiring fenestration, traction, and orthodontic treatment in Japan

It is clear that the diagnosis of impacted teeth (distinguishing them from unerupted teeth) requires a detailed analysis. Specifically, an impacted tooth is one that would satisfy one or more of the following criteria: Cause root resorption of the adjacent permanent teeth.Eruption is hindered due to lesions such as odontomas.Spontaneous eruption is not observed after the average age of permanent tooth eruption, and the development of tooth root is complete.Spontaneous eruption is determined as difficult by follow-up observation, such as panoramic radiographs over time.① When the tooth axis or tooth germ position is significantly abnormal.② When there is a secondary disorder such as root curvature.③ When there is no tendency to erupt, even after the average permanent tooth eruption age (Table 8).
