The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence dilaceration in a sample Jordanian dental patients.The data were collected from examination radiographs random periapical films. In all, 4655 teeth 814 records at Faculty Dentistry, Irbid, Jordan evaluated. films viewed using magnifying lens and an X-ray viewer. A tooth recorded as having towards mesial or distal direction if there 90 angle greater along its long axis small ruler aligned pulp tooth. Dilacerated roots buccal lingual...

This study investigated whether oral candida infection in diabetics and adhesion of Candida albicans to buccal epithelial cells vitro were related. Buccal from 50 patients with diabetes mellitus showed a significant increase C. strain CDS 88 compared those collected non-diabetic controls matched for age, sex denture status. Oral carriage, secretor status also both groups. The frequency carriage was increased, but not significantly, there significantly higher incidence diabetic controls....

Case report Talon cusp is an uncommon dental anomaly manifested as accessory cusp‐like structure on the crown of anterior teeth. This describes two unusual cases talon cusp. 1 showed bilateralanomalous cusps palatal aspects maxillary supernumerary teeth, causing premature contact and tooth impaction. In case 2, a double‐fused was projected from surface large geminated central incisor. A not innocuous defect, it may provide substantial diagnostic, treatment planning procedural challenge....

Asymptomatic oral candidal carriage has been extensively studied in adults, but only rarely infants. The present investigation aimed to determine the asymptomatic of species healthy infants and its relationship age, sex, feeding pattern use a pacifier. swab technique was used for isolation. Candidal were isolated from 48% without significant gender or between breast-fed bottle-fed Similarly, history maternal vaginal candidosis, presence nappy rash, had no carriage. Infants who routinely...

This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence and awareness of halitosis among subjects a population, also compare results Halimeter(®) readings self-estimation assess relationship between oral health.A sample 205 employees from Jordan University for Science Technology (JUST) were selected as subjects. A standardized questionnaire focusing on dental hygiene, self-reported halitosis, smoking filled by all participants. In clinical examination, objective values assessment health presence...

The aim of this study was to assess and compare the quantitative qualitative oral colonization Candida species between a group healthy tobacco smokers comparable nonsmokers, investigate possible correlation candidal quantity or duration smoking habit.Fifty 50 nonsmokers were included in study. isolated using concentrated rinse (COR) technique identified germ tube test API 20 C AUX yeast identification system.Overall transmission 84 percent. from 42 (84 percent) 37 (74 (p>0.05). mean CFU/ml...

OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence of taurodontism in a group Jordanian adult dental patients. METHODS Posterior periapical radiographs 875 unselected patients were examined for presence defined as an apically displaced pulp chamber without usual constriction at cemento-enamel junction. RESULTS Taurodontism was detected 8% subjects and 4.4% teeth examined. The maxillary second molar most commonly affected tooth. It equally distributed between males females (7.9% compared with 8.1%...

Clinical oral Candida infection (candidiasis) is one of the common mucosal infections, and its management usually frustrating due to either treatment failure or recurrence. Historically, candidiasis has been branded as disease diseased. The unsuccessful can incorrect diagnosis, identify (or correct) underlying predisposing factor(s), inaccurate prescription antifungal agents. Failure properly treat will lead persistence fungal cell in cavity hence recurrence infection. health care provider...

A prospective study was undertaken of 22 patients with chronic hyperplastic candidosis and 50 age sex matched individuals no evidence oral mucosal disease. Specifically the relationship between inherited ability to secrete blood group antigens in saliva investigated. The proportion non-secretors significantly higher (68%) compared control subjects (38%). inability may therefore be a risk factor development of, or persistence candidosis.

The adhesion of Candida albicans to buccal epithelial cells (EEC) from four healthy dentate men was studied in vitro I wk before, during and after a course systemic fluconazole (50 mg once daily for 1 wk). After intake candidal BEC significantly reduced this reduction persisted week following completion therapy. Fluconazole, therefore, addition being an effective antifungal agent may also have sustained action on reducing adherence species the oral mucosa.

Inadequate awareness of oral health and related disciplines appears to be common among medical practitioners. This study was designed evaluate the medicine (OM) specialty its scope practice Jordanian practitioners outline potential strategies for improvement where appropriate.A specially questionnaire electronically distributed thereafter via personal interviews improve response rate. The comprised nine questions covered demographical details characteristics participants, in addition their...

The effect of 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate on in vitro adhesion Candida albicans to buccal epithelial cells (BHC) was studied 12 healthy subjects and patients with diabetes mellitus. Exposure BFC for one minute , or by rinsing the mouth vivo, resulted a significant reduction candidal BHC both diabetic non‐diabetic between groups. In addition known fungicidal chlorhexidine, it also reduces oral mucosal cells, factor importance establishment infection.

J Oral Pathol Med (2011) 40: 715–720 Background: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is a common ulcerative disease of the oral mucosa. ulceration also feature more serious and systemic Behçet's disease. Nitric oxide free radical synthesized by one family nitric synthase (NOS) enzymes an important regulator inflammation immunity. Association NOS3 gene polymorphisms encoding endothelial has been reported in but not recurrent stomatitis. The aim this study was to investigate any association between...

Buccal epithelial cells (BEC) from 12 patients with diabetes mellitus and age- sex-matched non-diabetic subjects were tested in vitro for adhesion of Candida albicans following exposure to nystatin both vivo. Adhesion was significantly reduced (P < 0.002) the diabetic after nystatin, but reduction variable (5.0-50.7% control 0.5-48.4% subjects) equivalent between two groups. In vivo produced no overall significant candidal either or subjects.
