In vitro analysis of flowable and high viscosity bulk fill composite versus conventional composite in core build up of endodontically treated teeth.

This study aimed to test the load to fracture of flowable and high viscosity bulk-fill composites compared to a convetional (packable) composite used to build up pulpless teeth. 45 endodontically treated premolars were restored with fiber posts then divided into three groups (N = 15) according to the core build-up material. SDR group: (Smart Dentine Replacement), (BF): Filtek One Bulk Fill and (CC) Filtek Z350 packable composite.

Simplified versus conventional complete dentures: A randomized crossover clinical trial.

Statement Of Problem: A simplified approach to complete denture treatment, omitting the border molding and definitive impression appointment, was suggested as an alternative to the conventional approach. However, comparison clinical trials are lacking.

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.

Pattern, frequency and causes of dental extraction among children/adolescents Syrian refugees: an observational study.

Background: The Syrian conflict has had a massive impact on the dental health of refugees. Dental extraction is a good indicator of socioeconomic position and degree of oral hygiene, however there is a scarcity of evidence in the scientific literature that characterizes the reasons for extraction in refugees.

Knowledge about oral manifestations of systemic diseases among medical and dental students from Jordan: An interdisciplinary educational gap.

Objective: To assess the ability of medical students to recognize oral manifestation of selected systemic diseases and compare their performance with dental students.

Materials And Methods: A total of 400 senior medical and dental students were approached to participate. The study protocol involved two parts; a self-administered survey and a direct interview involving clinical photographs for oral signs of systemic diseases.

Comparison of oral health indicators between two places of endemic dental fluorosis in Jordan.

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.

Denture Stomatitis Revisited: A Summary of Systematic Reviews in the Past Decade and Two Case Reports of Papillary Hyperplasia of Unusual Locations.

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.

Satisfaction with healthcare services among refugees in Zaatari camp in Jordan.

Background: Feedback on satisfaction regarding healthcare services is vital for continuous improvement of the service delivery process and outcome.
