Prevalence of periodontal disease in young Moroccans: A national survey.

Background: There are few large surveys of periodontal disease in young age cohorts, and national surveys in Africa do not exist. This study assessed the prevalence and severity of periodontal disease in a national survey of adolescents and young adults in Morocco.

Methods: A multistage probability sampling design was used to draw a sample of 14,667 students 12-25 years old attending 87 schools.

National survey of periodontal diseases in adolescents and young adults in Morocco.

Aim: National surveys of periodontal diseases in children are rare. This study describes the first national survey of oral health of adolescents attending public schools in Morocco. We report the prevalence and demographic determinants of periodontal diseases, and generate population estimates for this young population.

Periodontal Management of Cyclosporin A-Induced Gingival Overgrowth: A Nonsurgical Approach.

Gingival overgrowth is a major and frequent unwanted effect accompanying the chronic usage of antihypertensive, anticonvulsant, and immunosuppressant drugs. The expression and the severity of this tissue-specific condition are influenced by a variety of factors, mainly drug and periodontal variables. Such increased volume of gingiva may compromise normal oral functions, aesthetics in addition to the patients' ability to practice optimal oral hygiene.

Aggressive and chronic periodontitis in a population of Moroccan school students.

Aim: This study assessed the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and demographics of chronic and aggressive periodontitis in a representative sample drawn from a subpopulation in Morocco.

Materials & Methods: Eight hundred and thirty students representative of 12+ years old attending schools in the Province of Benslimane, Morocco were selected by a multi-phased, probability sampling. Their age was 12-25 years (mean: 16.

(E)-2-[(1H-Imidazol-4-yl)methyl-idene]hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide monohydrate.

In the title compound, C5H7N5S·H2O, the main mol-ecule is approximately planar, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane through the non-H atoms of 0.1478 (12) Å for the amine N atom. In the crystal, the components are connected via N-H⋯O, N-H⋯S and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
