Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to connect clinical symptoms of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) with bone changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
- Data was collected from patients experiencing TMJ symptoms over a year, correlating clinical observations with CBCT imaging results.
- Although limited mouth opening and a relationship between pain and bone changes were noted, there was no significant correlation between CBCT findings and TMD symptoms, emphasizing the importance of clinical evaluation in treatment decisions.
Objectives: this study was aimed at comparing dental stress in children having their first dental visit to those returning for dental treatment using salivary biomarkers of stress including salivary cortisol (s-cortisol), Immunoglobulin-A (s-IgA) and alpha-amylase (s-α-amylase). Additionally, the study was aimed at monitoring the change in stress in new patients as they progressed from the waiting to the clinical areas.
Study Design: salivary samples were collected from 40 children who had not been to a dentist before and similar samples were collected from 40 children who were returning for completion of dental treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how accurate the OraQuick® rapid test is for detecting hepatitis C antibodies in oral fluid among a Saudi population.
- Conducted with 60 HCV-positive patients and 100 HCV-negative controls, the test showed 88.33% sensitivity and 100% specificity for detecting HCV antibodies in saliva.
- The findings suggest that oral fluid testing can be an effective, non-invasive method for HCV detection, especially useful in areas with high visitor traffic, like Saudi Arabia, for quick and easy screening.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy, and safety of newly customized natural oral mucoadhesive gels, containing either aloe vera or myrrh as active ingredients, in the management of minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis (MiRAS).
Subjects And Methods: Ninety subjects with MiRAS were recruited from Oral Medicine Clinic, at Faculty of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia, for this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Two new natural gels, containing aloe vera and myrrh, were prepared in a concentration of (0.
Objectives: The aim of this work was to study the pattern of inheritance of celiac disease in a group of Saudi patients and to compare oral mucosal and dental clinical findings in these patients to those of healthy controls.
Study Design: Fifty patients suffering from celiac disease were screened for dental evaluation. They were subjected to clinical genetic examination, pedigree construction, oral mucosal and dental clinical evaluation.
