High knowledge of them could greatly affect the success rate of treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of educational poster on the mother’s knowledge about management of dental avulsion.Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Guilan University of Medical Sciences from November 2020 to February 2021. After obtaining the informed consent, a questionnaire containing the mothers’ socio-demographic information and 8 questions regarding knowledge about dental avulsion was responded alone by 262 mothers (131 in the study group and 131 in control group) before educational poster presentation in the study group. After three months, the participants of both groups were re-evaluated using the same questionnaire. McNemar’s test and Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) was used to analyze the data. Results with P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Use of an educational poster improved the knowledge of participants of study group about dental avulsion, although this improvement was statistically significant in questions regarding immediate emergency action (P=0.003), appropriate time for replantation (P<0.001), cleaning before replantation of a dirty tooth(P=0.022) and suitable storage medium for transferring an avulsed tooth (P<0.001). It was found that variables like age, level of education, employment status and previous training had no significant effect on participants knowledge(P>0.05).Conclusion: Results showed that the use of posters as an educational method can effectively improve mothers’ knowledge about management of children’s dental avulsion.","PeriodicalId":37056,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry 3000","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45812898","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}

The dental records were categorized according to the referral after diagnosis into prosthodontics, pedodontics, orthodontics, conservative, endodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery. The demographic variables and types of treatment provided were recorded and analyzed. The frequency of appointments was determined from overall dental records and departmental dental records. Chi square test was used to determine the effect of gender and age on dental appointments.Results: According to the dental records for 2019, 7286 appointments were provided, and this number decreased by 2.4-fold to 3090 appointments in 2020. The records indicated that the highest decreases were in non-urgent dental appointments in the periodontics, orthodontics and conservative departments (8, 8, and 4.6-fold, respectively). Statistically significant differences in dental pre-pandemic and pandemic appointments were identified for gender and age group. Female and older (>64 years old) subjects appeared to be less willing to attend dental appointments (OR=1.2 and 1.3, respectively) compared to their male and younger counterparts.Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant influence on decreasing attendance at dental appointments and the records show that the highest decreases were in non-urgent dental departments.

All products were applied for 30s. Ten blocks per group were analyzed by a non-contact 3D profilometer before and after treatments for linear (Ra) and volumetric roughness (Sa). The superficial morphology of the remaining blocks in each group (n=2) was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Normality was rejected for the data (Shapiro-Wilk test) and therefore, Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Dunn’s proof or Wilcoxon signed rank test with its respective effect size calculation were used to compare the results with α=5%.Results: Ra and Sa values for specimens submitted to Papacárie Duo Gel® and Brix3000® were statistically similar to baseline values. Application of phosphoric and polyacrylic acid resulted in a statistically increase in roughness compared to the CCRAs. SEM evaluation showed that Papacárie Duo Gel® resulted in surface debris. Polyacrylic acid and Brix3000®resulted in partial opening of the tubules but dentin exposed to polyacrylic was able to remove more smear layer than Brix3000®, while phosphoric acid resulted in total opening of the dentinal tubules.Conclusion: Both Papacárie Duo Gel® and Brix3000® did not result in roughness changes when applied in sound dentin.","PeriodicalId":37056,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry 3000","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41663461","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}
