Occupational Health Problems among Cambodian Dentists: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Dental practitioners, as part of their work, are exposed to a variety of hazards. This highlights the ongoing need for attention to occupational health in the dental field. A cross-sectional study was organised to investigate the range, prevalence, and associated factors for occupational health problems related to dental practice among Cambodian dentists.

Retrospective analysis of the upper airway anatomy and Sella turcica morphology across different skeletal malocclusions: a computerized technique.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the normal volumetric space and variations in the measurements of different landmarks in adults with different skeletal relations of the maxilla and the mandible based on CBCT data. The study also analyses these landmarks to locate any correlations.

Background: Numerous studies in orthodontics have found a relationship between orthodontic treatment and changes in the anatomy and function of the airway.

Development and validation of predictive models for skeletal malocclusion classification using airway and cephalometric landmarks.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a deep learning model to predict skeletal malocclusions with an acceptable level of accuracy using airway and cephalometric landmark values obtained from analyzing different CBCT images.

Background: In orthodontics, multitudinous studies have reported the correlation between orthodontic treatment and changes in the anatomy as well as the functioning of the airway. Typically, the values obtained from various measurements of cephalometric landmarks are used to determine skeletal class based on the interpretation an orthodontist experiences, which sometimes may not be accurate.

A Multicultural Demographic Study to Analyze Antibiotic Prescription Practices and the Need for Continuing Education in Dentistry.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to understand and analyze the prescription patterns of dentists across various demographic locations for managing oral infections and pain with antibiotics and explore the evidence-based practices by clinicians as well as the need for further education. . This cross-sectional study was carried out using an online questionnaire framed to explore the knowledge, attitude, and practices among dentists with varying levels of experience and qualifications, regarding antimicrobial prescription.

Risk Perception of SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Implementation of Various Protective Measures by Dentists Across Various Countries.

Objective: Healthcare workers in general are at a high risk of potential infections with COVID-19, especially those who work with aerosol generating procedures. Dentists fall in this category, as not only do they operate with aerosol generating procedures but also operate within a face-to-face contact area.

Methods: A structured self-administered questionnaire was developed at Najran University and provided to the participants for data collection.

Comparative Evaluation of Different Numerical Pain Scales Used for Pain Estimation during Debonding of Orthodontic Brackets.

Introduction: Patients experience various levels of discomfort during orthodontic treatment, i.e., after placement of separators, orthodontic implant placement, and archwire placement and during debonding.

Caries arrest and lesion appearance using two different silver fluoride therapies on primary teeth with and without potassium iodide: 12-month results.

Background: Globally, has been an increase in the use of silver fluoride products to arrest carious lesions and a variety of products are available.

Objectives: To examine differences in caries arrest and lesion colour of primary tooth carious lesions.

Material And Methods: A four-armed, parallel-design cluster-randomised controlled trial which investigated four protocols for caries arrest at 6m and 12m.

Caries arrest and lesion appearance using two different silver fluoride therapies with and without potassium iodide: 6-month results.

Objectives: to compare arrest rates and colour change in carious lesions in primary teeth using two different silver fluoride solutions with and without potassium iodide (KI).

Methods: The study was a four-armed, parallel-design randomised controlled trial and investigated four protocols for caries arrest at 6m. Children in Group 1 and Group 2 received Rivastar Silver Diammine Fluoride (SDF), and Children in Group 3 and Group 4 received an aqueous silver fluoride solution (AgF).

Perceptions of oral health among older Cambodians and their caregivers: A qualitative study.

Objective: Older adults (those above the age of 60) are an emerging demographic in Cambodia, and very little is understood about their oral health experiences, needs, perceptions and behaviours. The aim of this study was to explore the oral health experiences, practices and perceptions of a convenience sample of a small but diverse group of older adults in Cambodia.

Method: A cross-sectional qualitative study in which focus group interviews were conducted by 5 trained senior Cambodian dental students.
