Article Synopsis
- The study reviews research on orofacial clefts (OFCs) and nutrition-related issues among children in African countries, highlighting a significant burden of malnutrition in regions like North Africa.
- A total of 25 relevant studies were analyzed, predominantly from Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, and Uganda, focusing mainly on feeding difficulties in children with OFCs and the malnutrition caused by these conditions.
- The research indicates a lack of funding and limited international collaboration, with most studies conducted in hospital settings and primarily using clinical examinations and questionnaires to gather data.
Objectives: To compare the antibacterial effect of Nanosilver Fluoride varnish (NSF) varnish, P11-4 and Sodium Fluoride (NaF) varnish against salivary Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and Lactobacilli.
Methods: 66 patients aged 10-24 years old were randomly assigned to receive single application of NSF, P11-4 or NaF varnish.
Background: Nanoparticles and regenerative biomineralization are new caries prevention technologies. This study assessed the remineralizing effect of self-assembling peptide (P11-4), Nanosilver Fluoride (NSF) and sodium fluoride (NaF) on white spot lesions (WSLs) in permanent teeth.
Methods: Sixty six young adults with WSLs on buccal surfaces in permanent teeth and ICDAS code 1 or 2, were randomly assigned to one of three groups; P11-4, NSF or NaF.
Background: Enhancement of students' knowledge is essential in improving their clinical skills and performance. Thus, the curriculum should be prepared to achieve a better outcome. The current study aimed to determine the dental students' and interns' basic knowledge towards dental luting cements and their application in dental practice to improve the theoretical and clinical training sections.
