Background: One of the major causes of dental anxiety in children is their first impression of the dental environment. Even minor details, such as the choice of color in a dental setting and the color of dental equipment, can positively influence a child's behavior.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the emotions in children and color combinations in a pediatric setting.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the accuracy of morphometry of skull base and palate in gender discrimination using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning and to assess the accuracy of the results among a sample of the Arab population.
Materials & Methods: Using CBCT scans, a cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 142 consented patients who underwent various dental procedures at the University Dental Hospital, Sharjah (UDHS). Of these patients, 70 were females and 72 were males, with respective means of 38.
Objective: This study aims to assess and compare the potential of advanced nano/micro delivery systems, including quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, magnetic nanoparticles, dendrimers, and microneedles, as theranostic platforms for oral cancer. Furthermore, we seek to evaluate their respective advantages and disadvantages over the past decade.
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed using Google Scholar and PubMed, with a focus on articles published between 2013 and 2023.
Introduction: Penile strangulation is a rare urological emergency that necessitates urgent management. The reasoning behind it may include sexual pleasure, erection reinforcement, or a psychiatric disorder.
Case Presentation: Despite being an uncommon complication of penile strangulation, we report a 45-year-old prison inmate who presented with penile shaft necrosis secondary to using a non-metallic constriction object.
