This study aimed to determine the prevalence of RAS, the association of Immunoglobulin E with RAS and potential risk factors of RAS in patients at dental clinics of Sana’a universities in Sana’a city, Yemen. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to December 2017 and includes 2164 patients. The patients interviewed and examined by dentists and 72 were clinically diagnosed to have RAS. The patients with RAS responded to a questionnaire that included demographic background, Qat chewing habits, smoking habits, history and course of RAS episodes. They were also subjected to laboratory tests, including determination of serum IgE levels and xerostomia. Results: The crude prevalence of RAS was 3.3%; female prevalence was 3.8% slightly higher than 2.4% of the male. There was a higher rate of RAS in age group 16-25 years (12.3%) and age group 26-35 years (9.3%) with OR=7 times and 4.1 times respectively (p<0.001). While lower rates of RAS were occurred in children under 15 years (0.41%) and older age (0.4%), (<0.001). The Mean±SD of IgE level for major RAS patients was 233±15.3IU/ml; while for minor was 127±17.3IU/ml. There was association between elevated IgE, Xerostomia, smoking habit, and chewing Qat and occurrence of major RAS (OR=6.4, 3.3, 26.8, and 7.1 respectively). Conclusion: Elevated IgE levels and xerostomia may be considered as part of the RAS patient’s work-up. Further research is needed to identify biological mechanisms that account for the observed associations.","PeriodicalId":361768,"journal":{"name":"Online Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127659455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In previous caries research, occlusal surfaces have been found to susceptible to caries due to pits and fissures resulting from anatomical structures. Especially in children and young people, caries are most commonly seen in fissures [2]. The most effective method to prevent caries from these areas is the application of pit and fissure sealants. Pit and fissure sealants, one of the basic methods of preventive dentistry, are increasingly used in developed countries with the purpose of prevent occusal surface caries [3]. Fissure sealants are prevent plaque microflora and food-borne debris from accumulation in caries-susceptible pits and fissures. In addition, it reduces the effect of acid formed by the bacteria causing caries and remineralises the new lesions of the caries [4].","PeriodicalId":361768,"journal":{"name":"Online Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126195897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This situation has caused for processing time at deep cavities to be prolonged and for risk of air bubbles that may occur during the addition of composites to increase. Various producers have produced new type of composites named as bulk fill in order to eliminate this problem [2]. Placement of bulk fill composites as single layer having thickness of 4-5 mm to the cavity regarding deep and wide cavities reduces the period passing at the clinic and it provides significant advantage for dentists [3].","PeriodicalId":361768,"journal":{"name":"Online Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129134360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
