Article Synopsis
- A study assessed the impact of full mouth rehabilitation (FMR) on the oral health-related quality of life of physically disabled children aged 11-14 in Saudi Arabia.
- The test group (97 children) underwent FMR and showed significant improvements in oral symptoms and overall quality of life after 6 months compared to the control group (89 children) that did not receive FMR.
- Parents of the test group noted positive but insignificant changes in family distress, highlighting the broader benefits of better oral health on children's well-being.
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of systemic doxycycline on clinical and microbiological parameters of diabetic subjects with chronic periodontitis.
Methods: This 9-month multi-center, randomized, parallel, single-blinded study was conducted from different hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between April 2010 and December 2010. A total of 76 diabetic subjects with chronic periodontitis were randomized into 2 groups: control group (CG) received only scaling and root planing (SRP), and the treatment group (TG) receiving systemic doxycycline during the reevaluation visit 45 days after the completion of SRP.
Objective: To determine and analyze the frequency of periodontopathogens in microbiological monitoring of diabetic patients with periodontitis.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 352 diabetic patients with periodontitis who were registered at Riyadh Armed Forces Hospital, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, King Abdul Aziz Medical City, Naval Base Hospital, and Sultan Bin Adulaziz Humanitarian City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from July 2004 to August 2008. Microbiological analysis comprised the detection of Bacteroides forsythus (Bf), Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), and Prevotella intermedia (Pi) by polymerase chain reaction method.
