Background: Information on previous traumatic dental injuries is important as they can lead to increased complications during orthodontic treatment and impact the treatment planning and outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of Jordanian orthodontists in orthodontic management of traumatized permanent teeth.
Methods: Cross-sectional survey among active registered orthodontists using a questionnaire distributed by hand.
Aims: To assess the oral health status and related factors among hearing impaired schoolchildren.
Methods: A cross-sectional study among 115 hearing impaired schoolchildren enrolled at the School of the Deaf in Jordan. The World Health Organization (WHO) methodology and criteria were applied to collect data on caries, gingival bleeding.
Purpose: Early childhood caries (ECC) may have a harmful impact on quality of life (QoL) of young children and parents. No oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) studies had been carried out among preschool children in Jordan. The aims of the study were to assess the prevalence of ECC among preschool children and to evaluate its impact on the QoL of children and families.

- The study focused on evaluating the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries to primary anterior teeth among preschoolers in Amman, Jordan, due to a lack of baseline data on this public health issue.
- Results showed a 26.4% prevalence of dental injuries, primarily affecting upper incisors, with enamel fractures being the most common type; socio-demographic factors did not significantly influence the occurrence of these injuries.
- The findings highlight the need for awareness campaigns directed at parents and healthcare providers to emphasize the prevention and prompt treatment of dental trauma in children.
Background: Traumatic dental injury (TDI) is an important public dental health problem among schoolchildren. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between TDIs, obesity, and other possible associated factors like gender, overjet, lip coverage, parents' education level and family income among 12-year old Jordanian schoolchildren.
Methods: A cross-sectional population-based study examined a total of 1015 schoolchildren attending 34 schools randomly selected from urban and rural areas of Amman-the capital city of Jordan.

Purpose: No nationwide oral health survey has previously been carried out in Jordan. The aims of the study were to assess the burden of dental caries and gingival health among children aged 6 and 12 years in relation to sociodemographic factors and to ascertain the trend over time in the occurrence of caries and the need for dental care.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional epidemiological survey was carried out which included 2496 children aged 6 years and 2560 children aged 12 years selected by stratified cluster sampling.
