Dental health care workers (DHCW's) are invariably at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19. The objectives were; to investigate the current knowledge on COVID-19 among DHCW's; and conduct quasi-experiment DHCW's who were unaware disseminated information.
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak started just a couple of months ago and it grew rapidly causing several deaths morbidities. mechanism behind the transmission virus is still not completely understood despite multitude new specific manuscripts being published daily. This article highlights oral cavity as possible viral route into body via Angiotensin converting enzyme receptor. It also provides guidelines for routine protective measures in dental...
Abstract Background Oral diseases affect close to 3.5 billion people worldwide and there has been a call by the World Health Organization (WHO) integrate oral health into Universal Coverage (UHC) agenda. Objectives To collate synthesise information regarding status of integration systems covered UHC across 11 countries in South East Asian Regional Office. Methods Drawing on framework six building blocks as devised WHO, we compared public dental care coverage models, with focus outpatient...
To evaluate the reliability and validity of Arabic Rapid Estimate Adult Literacy in Dentistry (AREALD-30) Saudi Arabia.A convenience sample 200 subjects was approached, which 177 agreed to participate giving a response rate 88.5%. (REALD-99), translated into prepare longer shorter versions (AREALD-99 AREALD-30). Each participant provided with AREALD-99 also includes words from AREALD-30. A questionnaire containing socio-behavioral information Oral Health Impact Profile (A-OHIP-14)...
Scientific evidence pertaining to the evaluation of trueness occlusal splints fabricated using different three-dimensional (3D) printers and build orientations compared subtractive technologies is lacking.Overall, one hundred ten were manufactured two 3D a dental mill. Five groups at (0, 30, 45, 60, 90 degrees). In addition, comparison group was subtractively five-axis All scanned exported as standard tessellation language file. Analysis conducted with metrology software root mean square...
Background Dental caries in children is a major public health problem worldwide, with multitude of determinants acting upon to different degrees communities. The objective this study was determine maternal, environmental, and intraoral indicators dental experience sample 6- 7-y-old South East Queensland, Australia. Methods: A total 174 mother-child dyads were recruited for cross-sectional from the Griffith University Environments Healthy Living birth cohort study. Maternal education,...
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact photopolymer resin type, arch location, and post-processing techniques on trueness precision three-dimensionally printed (3DP) full-arch surgical implant guides. Methods: Stereolithography reference images an upper lower guide with six drill holes from a full-mouth rehabilitation clinical case were used. files imported into Asiga MAX UV slicing software (Asiga Composer) where build orientation, print resolution, support structures...
Background: Understanding the predictors of toothbrushing at 2 distinct preschool age time points will help develop and implement effective strategies specific to children’s age. Aim: To examine effect a family’s sociodemographic status mothers’ oral health behavior on frequency different points: 5 y Design: Secondary analysis (cross-sectional) longitudinal data collected through cohort study. Results: In children aged y, likelihood twice or more per day was higher than their comparative...
To compare the effectiveness of a novel cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC)-hyaluronic acid (HA)-based mouthrinse with chlorhexidine (CHX) and placebo mouthrinses in preventing plaque gingivitis. The secondary outcomes were calculus, extrinsic stains, oral malodour occurrence adverse events.A 21-day randomized, double-blind, three-arm parallel study random allocation young dental students to any three groups. Thorough prophylaxis was done at baseline followed by examination for malodour,...
This qualitative study aims to explore and gain an in-depth understanding of the knowledge perceptions mothers living in Greater Western Sydney (GWS), one Australia’s most socio-economically disadvantaged regions, regarding factors that influence oral health young children. Mother–child dyads (n = 45) were purposively selected from a population-based cohort GWS. Semi-structured interviews audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis. Five main themes...
MicroRNAs (miRs) are a group of endogenous, non-coding, 18-24 nucleotide length single-strand RNAs that mediate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through mRNA degradation or translational repression. They involved in regulating diverse cellular biological processes such as cell cycle, differentiation, and apoptosis. The deregulation miRs affects normal processes, leading to malignancies, including oral squamous carcinoma (OSCC). This study evaluates miR-21-5p miR-429 genes...
Background: This study aimed to ascertain the prevalence of dental anomalies and their ability estimate sex status. Material Methods: cross-sectional radiographic was based on evaluation Saudi children aged between 5 17 years. A total 1940 orthopantomograms (OPG) were screened, which 1442 included. All OPGs digitally evaluated with ImageJ software. The demographic variables anomaly findings subjected descriptive comparative statistical analysis. Discriminant function analysis conducted for...
The purpose of this in vitro study is to evaluate the effectiveness incorporating a new irrigation system into surgical guide and monitor its effect on heat generation during implant bed preparation. A total 48 surgically guided osteotomies were performed 12 bovine ribs divided 4 groups, using different techniques: Group (test) had entry exit channels incorporated guide; B similar design with an channel only; C conventional external irrigation; D (control) no irrigation. Heat was measured...
