Prevalence of dental caries, oral health status, malocclusion status, and dental treatment needs in thalassemic children: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Thalassemia is a hemoglobinopathy-associated genetic disease resulting due to defective synthesis of globin chains, causing defects in the skeletal and oral structures.

Aim: This cross-sectional study was designed to analyze the prevalence of dental caries, oral health status, malocclusion status, and dental treatment needs in thalassemic children.

Materials And Methods: Institutional Ethical committee clearance was obtained before starting the study.

Correlation of Leptin Concentration in Gingival Crevicular Fluid on the Rate of Orthodontic Tooth Movement - A Prospective Study.

Background: The evaluation of genetic markers in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and their connection to tooth movement can be helpful.

Aim: The objective of this research is to assess the relationship involving leptin levels and orthodontic tooth movement (OTM).

Study Setting And Design: Thirty individuals reporting to the Department of Orthodontics participated in an observational prospective study.

Relationships of race and area deprivation indices to outcomes in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Objectives: Social determinants of health (SDOH) are nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. Children with chronic illnesses living with socioeconomic risk factors have higher rates of unfavorable health outcomes. Our study aimed to assess the association between area deprivation indices (ADI), as a proxy for SDOH, and outcomes in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Physician workload and practice management in pediatric gastroenterology.

Objectives: The pediatric gastroenterology workforce has grown in the last few decades. The North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) formed a task force to understand current pediatric gastroenterology organizations' practice structures.

Methods: 19-item electronic survey was distributed to NASPGHAN members who were clinical or academic division directors.

Assessment of Efficacy of Various Bracket Base Retention Qualities on Shear Bond Strength.

Introduction: Numerous manufacturers have improved bracket retention systems as a result of the frequent bond failure that occurs during orthodontic treatment. One of the elements affecting the adhesive's bond strength is the bracket retention mechanism.

Objectives: This study's objective was to assess how various bracket base retention characters affected shear bond strength.
