Objectives: This study compares the anesthetic efficiency of the intraligmentary needless device (NumBee) and traditional dental syringe utilized to anesthetize mandibular 1st permanent molar, in addition to assessing the pain perception experienced by the subject during anesthesia injection and cavity preparation. Materials and Methods: Non fearfu...

ABSTRACT Background: There is an increased oxidative stress during pregnancy that might affect their gingival health. This study was conducted to measure salivary protein carbonyl level of pregnant women and its relation with gingival health also compared the data obtained with those from healthy married non-pregnant women. Material and Methods: Th...

The role of oxidants in aging process and many diseases including oral diseases and how different antioxidants work in positive direction to reduce or eliminates these problems encouraged the effective use of salivary antioxidants biomarkers as a tool for diagnosis and monitoring of many oral and systemic diseases. This book includes a literature r...

Abstract Background: Inadequate oxidant/antioxidant balance has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several oral diseases. Aims: to evaluate the relation of salivary antioxidants (total peroxidase and total glutathione) and lipid peroxidation biomarker (malondialdehyde/MDA) levels to clinical indices of dental caries and gingival disease severit...

Background: Inadequate oxidant/antioxidant balance has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several oral diseases. Aims: to evaluate the relation of salivary antioxidants (total peroxidase and total glutathione) and lipid peroxidation biomarker (malondialdehyde/MDA) levels to clinical indices of dental caries and gingival disease severity among a...

The irradiation of teeth with laser in combination with remineralizing agent revealed higher caries resistance. This study aims to investigate the effect of laser and CPP-ACP agent in remineralizing initial caries-like lesion using SEM and EDS analysis. Twenty four teeth (upper first premolar) were divided into control and study groups, the study g...

Background: During pregnancy many physiological, anatomical and biochemical changes take place that affect almost all body systems. In the oral pregnant women have serious changes such as more sever dental caries. This study was conducted to measure dental caries severity and selected salivary variables (salivary flow rate, PH and viscosity)and to...

Background: work-related musculoskeletal disorders represent an important occupational health issues among dentists especially neck and low back complaints. Biomarkers of tissue damage as results of occupational physical demands could be used for detection of work related musculoskeletal disorders. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess work-rela...

Background: Tooth wear is one of the most concerning problems of the current dental practice especially among older subjects. The aim of this study is to determine the severity of tooth wear and its relation with selected salivary variables (salivary pH and vitamin C level) among a group of older adults in Mosul city/Iraq. Materials and methods: Al...

Background: Pregnant women are particularly susceptible to gum and periodontal disease. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of repeated pregnancies on the periodontal health status. Materials and methods: This study evaluated the oral hygiene and periodontal status (plaque index, calculus index, gingival index and probing pocket depth) o...

Background: Overweight and obesity might be a potential risk factor for periodontal diseases. The principle objective of this study was to identify the relationship of salivary antioxidants (vitamin E and uric acid) and lipid peroxidation biomarker (malondialdehyde/MDA) with periodontal diseases among overweight and obese adult aged 55-65 year-old...

Background: Overweight and obese people are at higher risk for systemic diseases as well as oral diseases like dental caries. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship of salivary antioxidants (albumin, vitamin E, and vitamin C) in addition to salivary flow rate and magnesium level with dental caries severity among overweight and obese...

Background: Old adults experienced pronounced oral changes. Saliva composition particularly the antioxidants showed significant changes with advancing age. The aims of this study were to assess salivary antioxidants and lipid peroxidation biomarker (malondialdehyde) levels in addition to salivary physicochemical characteristics and their effect on...

Background: Old adults are regarded as an important target group with special oral health needs. Salivary gland structure and saliva composition particularly the antioxidants are subjected to significant changes with advancing age. The aims of this study were to assess salivary antioxidants and lipid peroxidation biomarker (malondialdehyde) levels...

Background: Pregnancy represents a particular systemic condition that is able to induce, because of hormonal fluctuations, manifestations of different nature in the oral cavity. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare dental caries prevalence and treatment needs of pregnant women in comparison to non-pregnant women matching with ag...

Background: Pregnancy may be accompanied by an increase in dental caries severity. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of frequent pregnancies on dental caries experience and treatment needs. Materials and Methods: This study involved 224 pregnant women in Baghdad city (112 primigravidae and 112 multigravidae). The age rang was 20-25...
