This article conducted as the first study that aims to address the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of people in the Qatari community towards Myrrh in combating COVID-19. Methods: A total of 269 males and females participated as voluntary in this anonymous simple random sampling study. The data of the randomly distributed questionnaire exported into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), then analyzed using frequency Tables, means, percentages, and standard deviations. Results: The majority of participants were females (71.0%) than males (29.0%), with an age of 41-50 (34.3%), 77.7% were married. 63.2% were Qatari nationalities, and 36.8% were non-Qataris. 48.0% had a baccalaureate degree, and 1.1% had no formal education. Most participants were government employees (39.0%), and 3.3% were others. 91.82% had heard about Myrrh, 50.9% use Myrrh when necessary, 13.0% after meals only, and 11.2% do not gargle nor use mouthwash. A mean of 3.91 believe in herbal and can use it any time. 44.5% agreed, and 29.1% strongly agreed to try to use Myrrh as an herbal to treat Covid-19. Conclusion: The study concludes that most people in the Qatari community do not have adequate knowledge of Myrrh because a large percentage of the people were healthy. In line with the study findings, Myrrh is significantly used as a mouth rinse and gargle wash to help protect the mouth from infections. The people were also unsure whether Myrrh was effective in treating Covid-19; however, they could use Myrrh to decrease/lower the symptoms for Covid-19, such as sore throats, chest infections, and improve both oral and physical hygiene, which reduces the spreading of Covid-19 viral infections. The findings revealed that more than two-thirds (73.0%) of the participants reported that their family members were using Myrrh.","PeriodicalId":37056,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry 3000","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69983577","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 April 2020, American Dental Association (ADA) has approved the OFP as the 12th dental specialty in United States. The significance of orofacial pain specialty is that a trained specialist in OFP can identify all symptoms, diagnoses and causes of the pain based on the thorough evaluation. Treatment plan is developed to treat the condition which also includes training of the patient to reduce the patient-centered causes of the condition. This patient care and management will also prevent incidence of chronic pain and its consequences such as opioid addiction and other drugs, limitation in work and function, other comorbidities such as depression and anxiety, and long-term dependency on treatment. This review will briefly discuss the different aspects of OFP diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":37056,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry 3000","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69984689","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}

A key system for controlling bone turnover is the RANK-RANKL-OPG system. Curcumin is a polyphenol with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties which has an inhibitory effect on NF κs. As an attempt to assess the effect of Curcumin on RANKL/OPG ratio levels in chronic periodontitis patients, this study was done to evaluate the effect of nutritional supplementation with curcumin on RANKL/OPG ratio in the gingival crevicular fluid of chronic periodontitis patients. Methodology: The study was conducted in the Department of Periodontology, Rajarajeswari Dental College and Hospital. A total of 60 patients, Group I with 30 subjects, receiving a scaling and root planing and curcumin supplements in the form of tablets twice (500 mg) a day for 6 weeks. Group II with 30 subjects, receiving scaling and root planning and placebo twice a day for 6 weeks. All clinical parameters were recorded and GCF was collected from all the subjects at baseline and at 6 weeks after treatment to estimate the levels of RANKL/OPG ratio by ELISA Results: In the test group there was a significant decrease in a GI, PI, PD, CAL from baseline to 6 weeks. In both the groups there was a decrease in the RANKL/OPG ratio from baseline to 6 weeks after treatment but the decrease in the test group was more statistically significant. Conclusion: Nutritional supplementation with curcumin showed a significant decrease in clinical parameters and also RANKL/OPG ratio at 6 weeks after treatment. Hence curcumin can be used as an adjunct in the treatment of periodontal diseases.","PeriodicalId":37056,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry 3000","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69982937","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}

Materials and Methods: One hundred and seventy-four upper central incisors were extracted and randomly divided to 6 groups (n=29) based on the type of adhesive and two-time intervals post bonding (30 minutes (T1) and 24 hours (T2)): 1) Transbond XT™ 2) BracePaste®, 3) GoTo™. Stainless steel orthodontic brackets were bonded to the teeth. Debonding was completed by an instron machine and shear bond strength recorded together with the ARI following examination under stereo optical microscope with magnification of 10x. Normal distribution was tested using histograms, box plots, the Shapiro-Wilks test and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov’s test. The linear correlation between shear bond strength and ARI score was measured using Pearson’s correlation coefficient by individual test groups and for pooled data. To examine significance of ARI score by group multiple chi-square testing was used. All the analyses were carried out using SPSS version 25.0 and Stata version 15.0. Results: The bond strength of Transbond XT™ was the highest and the strengths at T1 and T2 were not statistically different. The statistical significance was set at 5%. The bond strength of GoTo™ adhesive significantly increased from T1 (200.49N ± 49.77) to T2 (234.89N ± 39.83). BracePaste® showed a statistically significant reduction of its bond strength after 24 hours; 165.07 ± 22.56, down from 187.40N ± 36.90 at T1. This was also significantly less than for the former two adhesives. Water ageing of 24 hrs had a positive impact on Transbond™ and GoTo™ but a negative one on BracePaste®. Transbond XT™ showed the highest score of 3 for ARI at T1 70% and T2 46% followed by GoTo 52% and 35% and BracePaste® 48% and 33%.

With increasing COVID-19 cases in India, hospitals and doctors have been facing the brunt of the crisis. While government hospitals treating COVID-19 are limited, private hospitals are charging unimaginable rates. It has become the biggest challenge to accommodate the increasing number of cases. Dentists have been confined to their homes, due to the high risk nature of the profession. Dentistry has become one of the peak professions at risk of transmission of the virus. With this increase in risk, dental profession is facing heavy fallout and dentists all over the country are concerned about the effects of this pandemic on the future of dentistry. Aim: This survey aims to analyze the concerns associated with COVID-19 among the dental surgeons of Maharashtra. Methodology: A sample of 208 participants (dentists) was taken after assessing the sample size within the age group of 25-45 years of age. The participants comprised of dentists practicing in various parts of Maharashtra. A questionnaire was created on Google forms and circulated to participants using various social media platforms. The data of responses of participants were analyzed and evaluated with the help of pie charts. Results: This survey analyzed the major concerns of dental surgeons and tried to evaluate the various areas of anxiety. Majority of the participants believed that dentists were at higher risk of contracting the virus than any other healthcare professionals and they also would be a major reason for transmitting the infection to their patients. The also believed the fact that wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) did not guarantee them safety against the virus. Majority of the dentists felt that the pandemic has affected dentistry as a career and that practicing dentistry amidst COVID-19 was not safe. However, the participants were also of the opinion that, the pandemic did not turn dentistry into any less of a lucrative branch. The participants asserted that changing PPE after every patient was mandatory and that the patients should be charged an extra amount for the same. The most highlighting feature of this study was that COVID-19 affected the monetary income of majority of the dentists, considerably reduced their patient flow and most of them reported of working for lesser hours per day due to the pandemic. Conclusion: This questionnaire based survey clearly helped in assessing the common concerns among the dental surgeons of Maharashtra associated with COVID-19. Although the pandemic posed various drawbacks and threats to the profession of dentistry, it still stands out being one of the most lucrative specialties of healthcare.","PeriodicalId":37056,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry 3000","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69984561","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 Cameroon, the need for care is growing; but little information is available in Cephalometry. Should we treat with imported cephalometric standards? To answer this question, we conducted this study in order to determine the craniofacial morphological characteristics of a sample of Cameroonian subjects in the Yaounde Central hospital having high health standard in Cameroon. Methodology: We carried out an analytical study at the Yaounde Central Hospital from January to March 2016, on scout view scanographic images of patients, aged 20 to 50 years. 15 cephalometric variables were measured and their mean values and standard deviation calculated. To determine the reference values, we used indicator means with their 95% confidence interval as the best estimator of our population measures. Results: We included 80 subjects with an average age was 32.3years. Cameroonian subjects have sex differences only for SNB and SND measures that were higher in men. Compared with Caucasian values according to Steiner, the Cameroonian population had a protrusive dento-alveolar structure with higher average values except for inter-incisal angles 119.3o and SND 78.8o which showed a lower value against 1310 and 790 for Steiner. Conclusion: Differences between Cameroonian men and women were in SNB and SND measurements that were higher in men. The averages of the Cameroonian sample are significantly different from the Caucasian averages in most measurements. Considering these differences, this work enabled us to propose a charter of cephalometric values, thus providing clear indications as to the type of Cameroonian.","PeriodicalId":37056,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry 3000","volume":"47 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69983290","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}
