Background: The quality of education and the learning environment significantly influence dental trainees' success and experiences. However, the impact of the educational environment on dental residents in Saudi Arabia remains unexplored. This study aimed to assess the educational environment among dental residents at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) using the Postgraduate Hospital Educational Environment Measure (PHEEM) instrument, shedding light on its influence and providing insights for improvement.

Materials And Methods: A total of 314 patients were identified for follow-up appointments. Based on their responses, participants were categorised into four groups: attendees, non-attendees, refusals, and unreachable.
Objectives: The current study aimed to assess perceived stress levels among dental students at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and to explore the influence of parental roles in their decision to pursue dentistry as a potential source of social stress.
Methods: This cross-sectional study employed the validated Dental Environmental Stress (DES) Scale to evaluate perceived stress, and incorporated additional questions to fulfill the research aim. We approached all undergraduate dental students at King Saud University, both male and female, across all academic years, using online channels (such as emails, WhatsApp, Twitter, etc.
Purpose: The purpose of the present observational study was to assess the prevalence of radiographic alveolar bone loss (ABL) as a function of age at the Periodontics Clinics at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Materials And Methods: Medical and dental healthcare records of individuals visiting the Periodontics Clinics at College of Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh Saudi Arabia were assessed. The following information was retrieved: age, gender, educational status, and systemic diseases (diabetes mellitus [DM], hypertension, osteoporosis and obesity).
Aim: The aim of this review was to answer the following question: Can periodontal measures be used to identify dental patients with undiagnosed hyperglycaemia?
Materials And Methods: Systematic searches of electronic databases and the grey literature were carried out to identify studies developing and/or validating prediction models, based on any periodontal measure, to screen adults for undiagnosed hyperglycaemia (pre-diabetes and diabetes). Risk of bias was evaluated using the PRediction mOdel risk-of-Bias ASsessment Tool (PROBAST).
Results: Ten studies were identified, of which eight were model development studies.
Purpose: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the relationship between ABO blood groups and periodontal diseases.
Materials And Methods: Four hundred sixteen subjects (223 females, 193 males) were recruited according to the eligibility criteria. Periodontal examination was performed, including full-mouth plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), clinical attachment level (CAL), and interproximal bone loss (IBL).
Aim And Objective: To externally validate the performance of a novel periodontal prediction model (PPM) for identification of diabetes among Saudi adults.
Materials And Methods: The study was carried out among 150 adults attending primary care clinics in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). The study adopted a temporal external validation approach, where the performance of the PPM was evaluated in the same location as the development study, but at a later time to allow for some variation between samples.
Background: The aims of this study were to develop a prediction model for identification of individuals with diabetes based on clinical and perceived periodontal measurements; and to evaluate its added value when combined with standard diabetes screening tools.
Methods: The study was carried out among 250 adults attending primary care clinics in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). The study adopted a case-control approach, where diabetes status was first ascertained, and the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC), Canadian Diabetes Risk questionnaire (CANRISK), and periodontal examinations were carried out afterward.
Objective: To explore the association between long-term pattern of dental attendance and tooth retention among British adults.
Methods: This study analysed data from 2970 dentate adults who participated in the Adult Dental Health Survey. Data were collected through home interviews and clinical examinations.
Objectives: To evaluate the influence of orthodontic treatment that involved first premolars extraction on the angulation of the developing mandibular third molars, and whether this will result in an improvement in it's path of eruption during tooth development.
Methods: A cross-sectional radiographic study was conducted using 80 panoramic radiographs of 40 orthodontic patients previously treated at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The sample consisted of 2 groups, extraction and non-extraction orthodontic therapy group with equal number of patients in each group.
