Purpose: The purpose of this randomized crossover clinical trial was to assess the satisfaction of edentulous patients and their oral health impact profile when provided with complete dentures fabricated through the simplified or the conventional approach.
Introduction: Excessive fluoride intake during tooth development causes dental fluorosis.
Aim: This study aimed to (1) determine the prevalence of dental fluorosis in association with fluoride concentrations in drinking water, (2) explore the effects of altitude on the severity of fluorosis in two towns with high fluoride levels in the drinking water, and (3) assess decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) and oral hygiene practices among participants.
Material And Methods: The sample consisted of 100 and 141 schoolchildren, aged 15.
Article Synopsis
- Age-at-death estimation is crucial in forensic dentistry, especially when visual identification isn't possible, but estimating dental age in adults poses challenges since most teeth develop fully by age 18.
- The study investigates the mesio-distal pulp-to-tooth ratio of upper third molars in a sample of 135 Jordanian adults to see if it can reliably estimate age through X-ray imaging.
- Results show a moderate negative correlation between age and the pulp-to-tooth ratio, indicating that while there is some relationship, it's not strong enough to be a reliable age estimator due to high variability in third molar development.
Objectives: Denture stomatitis is a mucosal condition associated with complete and partial removable dentures. This paper presents a short review of the literature on this topic with more emphasis on the treatment protocols of denture stomatitis as studied in recent systematic reviews.
Methods: A general review of the literature was carried out in the first part of this paper, and then the most recent systematic reviews on the treatment protocols of denture stomatitis were summarized.
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to examine hearing thresholds among dental personnel. The secondary aim was to evaluate sound levels among dental equipment that dental personnel are exposed to.
Methods: Two hundred forty-four dentists, dental technicians, dental assistants, and dental students participated.
Introduction: Reports examining the impact of oral health on the quality of life of refugees are lacking. The aim of this study was to examine factors influencing oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among Syrian refugees in Jordan.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a convenience sample of Syrian refugees, who attended dental clinics held at Azraq camp.
