It poses a potentially life-threatening risk, primarily caused by opportunistic, saprophytic aerobic fungi of the Zygomycetes subdivision and Mucorales order. Common risk factors associated with mucormycosis include uncontrolled diabetes, hematological disorders, immunosuppression, underlying systemic diseases, and symptoms associated with COVID-19.The infection presents various clinical manifestations, including rhino-orbit-cerebral, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and mucocutaneous symptoms. We observed two cases of mucormycosis precipitated by classical and atypical risk factors, affecting individuals of different age groups. Despite the differing presentations, a common underlying systemic cause i.e. diabetes ketoacidosis was evident. The diagnosis was confirmed through either histopathological examination or positive culture.Mucormycosis ranks as the third most common invasive fungal infection. Treatment entails rapid diagnosis, correction of risk factors, surgical resection or debridement, and appropriate antifungal therapy.","PeriodicalId":478408,"journal":{"name":"Archives of dental research","volume":"50 29","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141644414","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}

Given their challenge in receiving information, utilizing media becomes crucial for effective communication. Animated videos, catering to the visual strengths of hearing impairment children, present an engaging approach to dental health education that can be specifically tailored to their needs. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of educational videos on the tooth brushing habits of hearing impairment children at the Special School in Jambi City. This research followed a quasi-experimental design using the pre-test and post-test methodology. It involved purposive sampling, and the research instrument utilized an observation checklist. The data analysis was conducted through an Independent T-Test. The research product is an oral health education video focusing on tooth brushing. This video underwent validation by material experts, media professionals, and sign language experts. The effectiveness of using educational videos is evident in enhancing tooth brushing behavior among Hearing impairment children. The intervention group exhibited a higher mean post-test value of 11.93 compared to the control group's mean post-test value of 8.07, resulting in a statistically significant difference (p=0.000). The interpretation demonstrates the effectiveness of the intervention in improving tooth brushing behavior. Educational video media is effective for hearing impairment children in improving tooth brushing skills.","PeriodicalId":478408,"journal":{"name":"Archives of dental research","volume":"7 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141648453","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}

One of these alterations in the human skeletal system is osteoporosis, which starts with the slight bone changes known as osteopenia. Jawbones are where this bony alteration starts in the majority of severe instances. Due to hormonal changes, post-menopausal women have a higher incidence of osteoporosis than the general population, which typically begins in the fourth decade of life. The jaw's bony alterations may be evaluated with the use of a panoramic radiograph, which is also useful in identifying osteoporotic abnormalities. We can examine the qualitative and quantitative panoramic indices in a panoramic radiograph, such as the panoramic mandibular index (PMI), to ascertain sexual dimorphism and estimate bone mineral density (BMD), which is primarily influenced by age and gender. : A total of 100 patients, 50 men and 50 women, between the ages of 50 and 80, were gathered for the examination. Each patient's orthopantomogram (OPG) was recorded and examined using Sideaxis 4 Viewer (Sinora) software. Three experts completed all of the measurements, and the mean value was statistically analysed. : The results was obtained using an independent t-test. For both groups, the standard deviation was 7.022 and the mean age was 59.450. Males had mean SLs of 17.32 mm, ILs of 14.15 mm, and MCWs of 4.23 mm. Females had mean SLs of 15.45mm, ILs of 12.94mm, and MCWs of 3.89mm. Further calculations revealed that the mean sPMI and mean iPMI in men and females were, respectively, 0.24mm and 0.29mm, 0.22mm and 0.26. The P values for the sPMI, iPMI, and MCW parameters were, respectively, 0.084, 0.020, and 0.001 and were all significant. After evaluating all the data, it can be said that radio morphometric indices PMI and MCW or MI may be trusted to accurately measure bone mineral density. Nevertheless, due to the paucity of studies, PMI and MCW results for assessing sexual dimorphism may differ.","PeriodicalId":478408,"journal":{"name":"Archives of dental research","volume":"51 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141644692","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}
