Late Presentation of Oral Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease Manifesting As Hyperkeratotic Plaque: A Case Report.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative intervention for myelodysplastic syndrome, with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) being a frequently encountered consequence. GVHD is classified as acute (aGVHD) or chronic (cGVHD). The oral cavity is the most impacted by chronic.

Associations among dental caries experience, fluorosis, and fluoride exposure from drinking water sources in Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: a) To correlate fluoride levels in drinking water sources with caries experience and dental fluorosis in Saudi Arabia, and suggest appropriate fluoride concentration for drinking water in the country.

Methods: Fluoride levels were determined from 3,629 samples obtained from drinking water sources in 11 regions of Saudi Arabia. Based on the fluoride concentrations, a stratified sample of subjects aged 6-7, 12-13, and 15-18 years was obtained from the regions.

Prevalence of oral lesions among Saudi dental patients.

Patients And Methods: Over a 3-year period, 2552 dental outpatients were interviewed and investigated clinically for the presence of oral mucosal conditions.

Fluoride levels in drinking water in the Central Province of Saudi Arabia.

Background: This study was designed to assess the fluoride levels in drinking water in the Central Province of Saudi Arabia.

Materials And Methods: A total of 817 water samples were collected from 260 locations in Central Saudi Arabia. An atomic absorption spectrophotometer [HACH instrument, model DR 3000] was used in the analyses of water samples for fluoride levels.
