    Abstract Design A systematic review and bivariate meta-analysis was designed to determine the efficacy of toluidine blue (TB) in the screening and diagnosis of oral cancer and premalignant lesions. Six databases were reviewed independently by two authors to identify relevant studies.Case selection Inclusion criteria comprised prospective or retrospective studies comparing TB with chemiluminescence or clinical examination, which incorporated sensitivity and specificity analyses. Studies regarding diagnosis of non-oral tumours were excluded, as well as case reports and review articles.Data analysis Diagnostic accuracy was analysed using diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves and the inter-rater agreement were also analysed. Cohen's kappa coefficient and Fisher z-values were used to estimate reliability and stabilise variance. Homogeneity analyses were performed using the Q statistic. Forest plots were drawn for the sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive values, and SROC curves.Results Twenty-nine studies comprising 1,921 participants were included in the meta-analysis. The DOR of TB was 7.017 (95% CI, 4.544; 10.836). Nine studies compared TB with chemiluminescence; TB had a lower sensitivity but a higher specificity. Compared with clinical examination in four studies, TB had a higher sensitivity and specificity. TB has a sensitivity of 73% and specificity of 69%, and was found to be more sensitive in severe dysplasia but more specific in benign lesions.Conclusions The diagnostic accuracy of TB for oral cancer or premalignant lesions is greater than clinical examination alone; however, it is not reliable enough for TB to be used as a screening method in isolation. TB is a diagnostic aid that can be recommended in adjunct with chemiluminescence or other techniques.

    Abstract Purpose: Among the varied roles and responsibilities of school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are the planning and delivery of effective vocabulary intervention for students with language disorders. Despite the abundant literature regarding effective vocabulary intervention, practice patterns indicate that the research has not yet translated to practice. The purpose of this study was to examine SLPs' beliefs and expectations regarding vocabulary instruction and the content of Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals to better inform continuing education and research programs to generate lasting effects on SLP practices.
    Method: We queried a national sample of school-based SLPs via an online survey regarding their perspectives on robust vocabulary instruction, vocabulary intervention practices, and IEP goal development targeting vocabulary skills for school-age children with language disorders.
    Results: There was consistency across the sample for SLPs' beliefs about the importance and impact of robust vocabulary instruction. However, they reflected varied expectations about the vocabulary intervention they provide. Qualitative analysis of IEP goals for vocabulary reveals the range and frequency of strategies and intervention targets as an artifact of implementation of robust vocabulary instruction.
    Conclusions: School-based SLPs believe that vocabulary is important and have a strong understanding of the impact robust vocabulary instruction can have on reading and writing outcomes. SLPs in this sample had varying expectations regarding the way their instruction is implemented and generalized. Implications and limitations of these results are discussed.

    Abstract Design A randomised crossover clinical trial was designed to determine survival and success of four-implant overdentures in the edentulous maxilla, in participants with mandibular two-implant overdentures. Participants received four implants in the maxilla, two anteriorly and two posteriorly, then were randomly allocated into two treatment groups. The prosthetic phase included alternate loading of anterior and posterior implants for three months each, followed by loading of all four implants for another three months. Participants were then followed up in the recall phase for a mean period of 2.2 years.Case selection Four participants were taken from the authors' previous clinical study, meeting the inclusion criteria for a two-implant overdenture in the mandible. Another 21 participants were recruited from study calls after a widening of inclusion criteria. These patients were all pre-treated in accordance with the previous study protocol, so there was standardisation before maxillary implant placement.Data analysis A sample size calculation was performed and a Kaplan-Meier curve was used to demonstrate implant survival over time.Results Twenty-four patients were included in the study. Three implants were lost during the prosthetic phase and two during the recall phase; all were anterior implants. Implant survival after loading was 93.8% after a mean period of 3.1 years. There were 27 maxillary prosthetic complications overall. Denture success was 95.8% after a mean period of 2.2 years.Conclusions Implant survival of four asynchronously loaded implants in implant-supported overdentures in the edentulous maxilla was good and is a recommendable treatment option for patients with two-implant mandibular overdentures. Implant and prosthetic complications are common but mostly straightforward to manage. Two posterior implants are not superior to two anterior implants, but the majority of patients prefer the four-implant maxillary overdenture.
