The scope of this study was to develop and validate a questionnaire (QCirDental) to measure the impacts associated with dental extraction surgery. The QCirDental questionnaire was developed in two steps; (1) question and item generation and selection, and (2) pretest of the questionnaire with evaluation of the its measurement properties (internal consistency and responsiveness). The sample was composed of 123 patients. None of the patients had any difficulty in understanding the QCirDental. The instrument was found to have excellent internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of 0.83. The principal component analysis (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy 0,72 and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity with p < 0.001) showed six (6) dimensions explaining 67.5% of the variance. The QCirDental presented excellent internal consistency, being a questionnaire that is easy to read and understand with adequate semantic and content validity. More than 80% of the patients who underwent dental extraction reported some degree of discomfort within the perioperative period which highlights the necessity to assess the quality of care and impacts of dental extraction surgery.

Chromogenic bacterial staining of teeth: a scoping review.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Basic Medical and Dental Sciences Department, College of Dentistry, Ajman University, Ajman, UAE.
Article Synopsis
- This scoping review aims to investigate the causes, clinical traits, and treatment methods for chromogenic staining of teeth, following the PRISMA 2022 guidelines.
- A systematic search across multiple medical databases led to the identification of 989 articles, with 21 ultimately included for analysis, highlighting that chromogenic bacteria can cause staining in 3.1 to 18.5% of cases, primarily resulting in black discoloration.
- The findings indicate a lack of comprehensive literature on this topic, emphasizing the need for further research into effective management strategies for these challenging stains linked to specific oral bacteria.
Bayesian network for predicting mandibular third molar extraction difficulty.
BMC Oral Health

Sub-Institute of Public Safety Standardization, China National Institute of Standardization, No.4 Zhichun Road, Haidian District, Beijing, 100191, PR China.
Background: This study aimed to establish a model for predicting the difficulty of mandibular third molar extraction based on a Bayesian network to meet following requirements: (1) analyse the interaction of the primary risk factors; (2) output quantitative difficulty-evaluation results based on the patient's personal situation; and (3) identify key surgical points and propose surgical protocols to decrease complications.
Methods: Relevant articles were searched to identify risk factors. Clinical knowledge and experience were used to analyse the risk factors to establish the Bayesian network.
Interfacial adsorption behavior of amine-functionalized MCM-41 for Mo(VI) capture from aqueous solution.

Given the environmental and ecological risks posed by wastewater bearing Mo, the characteristics and microscopic interactions of existing silica-based adsorbents have not been thoroughly investigated, highlighting the need to enhance the porosity and chemical interactions of these materials. Considering the effectiveness of amino groups in binding metal oxyanions, this study investigates the adsorption performance and mechanism of amino-functionalized MCM-41 for Mo(VI), with the goal of efficiently remediating Mo-contaminated wastewater. MCM-41 modified by amino group retains its original structure and mesoporous characteristics while featuring a positively charged surface and chemically bonded amino groups.

Background: Audio-analgesia is one of the unexplored aspects of behavior management in pediatric dentistry, and recently, there have been many new inclusions in shades of noise that were previously just limited to white noise, like brown noise and pink noise.
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of white noise, brown noise, and pink noise on dental anxiety in pediatric patients undergoing primary tooth extraction.
Study Settings And Design: Multiarm, triple-blinded, parallel-group randomized controlled trial.

Article Synopsis
- School-based dental screening programs can significantly improve dental health in children aged 6-11 by reducing decayed teeth and increasing filled teeth.
- The study utilized a cluster randomized control trial with 694 children, dividing them into a test group referred to a specific dental hospital and a control group referred to a nonspecific one.
- Results showed that after 12 months, children in the test group had a significant decrease in decayed teeth and an increase in filled teeth compared to the control group, demonstrating the effectiveness of targeted referrals in dental health intervention.
