Introduction: Black patients have higher HbA1c than Whites even after adjustment for mean blood glucose (MBG). Decreased iron status has been associated with increased HbA1c independently of glucose. We hypothesized that decreased iron status might account for higher HbA1c in Black patients.

Blacks still had higher HbA1c after adjustment for mean blood glucose, red blood cell indices, age, and sex. Such differences need to be taken into account when interpreting HbA1c in Black patients.

- 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.
Purpose: To assess the prevalence and related factors of traumatic dental injuries (TDI) among 12-year-old Jordanian schoolchildren.
Materials And Methods: For this cross-sectional study among schoolchildren, a sample of 2560 schoolchildren (1209 boys, 1351 girls) aged 12 years were randomly selected. The epidemiological classification adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and modified by Andreasen et al was used to record TDI on incisors.

We present a rare case of a developmental anomaly called regional odontodysplasia or 'ghost teeth' in an 8.5-year-old Jordanian girl. The anomaly affected both the mandibular primary and permanent incisors, and the canines bilaterally.

Objectives: To assess the prevalence and related factors of incisor trauma among 12-year-old Jordanian schoolchildren.
Design: Cross-sectional study among schoolchildren. A sample of 1.
Objective: To describe the prevalence of dental caries among Jordanian preschool children and risk factors for caries.
Design: Preschool children aged 1 to 5 years from randomly selected nurseries and kindergartens in Amman were surveyed in September 2001. A questionnaire to investigate factors that might have affected dental caries level was completed by parents.
