ABSTRACT Achieving patient compliance is a key goal in oral health, necessitating early education on good dental hygiene practices. This study assesses dental hygiene awareness among college students in various disciplines. A questionnaire focusing on knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to dental hygiene was distributed to 400 students from medical, nursing, engineering, and other undergraduate programs, divided into groups of 100 each. The survey also considered economic backgrounds and oral hygiene behaviors. Responses were collected online, with data analyzed using the Chi-square test and Pearson’s coefficient to determine statistical significance (P < 0.05). All collected responses were valid, revealing that most students, primarily from middle- or lower-income groups, have a satisfactory level of knowledge regarding oral hygiene. Over 90% recognize its importance for overall health. While practices were generally good, areas for improvement were identified, alongside an overall positive attitude. However, infrequent dental visits were noted as a concern. Focusing on improving oral hygiene attitudes and practices among the younger generation could have long-term benefits, especially in developing countries aiming for better oral health outcomes.
摘要 实现患者的依从性是口腔健康的一个关键目标,因此有必要及早开展有关良好牙齿卫生习惯的教育。本研究评估了各学科大学生的口腔卫生意识。 我们向来自医学、护理学、工程学和其他本科专业的 400 名学生发放了一份调查问卷,每组 100 人,重点调查与口腔卫生相关的知识、态度和实践。调查还考虑了经济背景和口腔卫生行为。调查问卷通过网络收集,并使用卡方检验和皮尔逊系数对数据进行分析,以确定统计显著性(P < 0.05)。 所有收集到的回答都是有效的,表明大多数学生(主要来自中等或低收入群体)对口腔卫生的了解程度令人满意。超过 90% 的学生认识到口腔卫生对整体健康的重要性。虽然学生的口腔卫生习惯普遍良好,但在总体积极态度的同时,也发现了需要改进的地方。然而,不经常看牙医也是一个令人担忧的问题。 注重改善年轻一代的口腔卫生态度和做法可能会带来长远利益,特别是在旨在改善口腔健康结果的发展中国家。

ABSTRACT Performing surgery on the anterior mandible could harm the mandibular incisive canal (MIC). To prevent it, preoperative radiographic assessment is essential. Aim of our study was to examine the visibility and presence of the MIC along with measurement of the length of MIC by utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Images from 50 subjects, ranging in age from 20 to 60 years, who had their mandibles examined by CBCT were taken from the archive. Reconstructed images included cross-sectional and panoramic views. The canal’s visibility was obtained from the mesial to the mental foramen and finally to the incisal extension. The shortest distance between the mesial and distal portions of the canal was determined to be the length of the MIC. To analyze independent samples, t-tests were employed. In 40 cases (80%), the visibility of MIC was seen as bilateral, and in 10 cases (20%), as unilateral. The visible length among the population ranged from a minimum of 0.00 to a maximum of 25.25 mm, with an average of 15.37 ± 5.59. Future research could utilize the differences in prevalence with respect to gender and visibility as a point of reference.
摘要 在下颌骨前部进行手术可能会损伤下颌切迹管(MIC)。为了防止这种情况的发生,术前放射学评估至关重要。 我们的研究旨在利用锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)检查下颌切迹管的可见性和存在性,并测量下颌切迹管的长度。 我们从档案中提取了 50 名受试者(年龄从 20 岁到 60 岁不等)通过 CBCT 检查下颌骨的图像。 重建图像包括截面图和全景图。从中线到精神孔,最后到切缘延伸,获得了牙槽骨的可见度。牙槽骨中段和远段之间的最短距离被确定为 MIC 的长度。 为了分析独立样本,采用了 t 检验。 在 40 个病例(80%)中,MIC 的可见度为双侧,10 个病例(20%)为单侧。人群的可见长度最小为 0.00 毫米,最大为 25.25 毫米,平均为 15.37 ± 5.59 毫米。 今后的研究可以利用性别和可见度方面的患病率差异作为参考。

ABSTRACT Uterine fibroids, which are benign tumors affecting a significant proportion of women, often necessitate hysterectomy for suggestive relief. Understanding the relative efficiency and safety profiles of different techniques is crucial for optimizing patient care. This prospective cohort study enrolled women diagnosed with symptomatic uterine fibroids who underwent hysterectomy. Surgical techniques included “total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH)”, “laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH)”, and “vaginal hysterectomy (VH)”. Efficacy outcomes included operative time, blood loss, and recurrence rates, while complications encompassed intraoperative and postoperative adverse events. Laparoscopic hysterectomy demonstrated the shortest operative time and least blood loss compared with TAH and VH. Total abdominal hysterectomy had the highest rates of both intraoperative and postoperative complications, followed by LH and VH. Recurrence rates were comparable among the three techniques. Laparoscopic hysterectomy offers advantages in operative efficiency and complication rates compared with total abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy techniques.
摘要 子宫肌瘤是一种良性肿瘤,影响着相当一部分女性,通常需要切除子宫才能缓解症状。了解不同技术的相对效率和安全性对于优化患者护理至关重要。 这项前瞻性队列研究招募了确诊为无症状子宫肌瘤并接受子宫切除术的女性。手术技术包括 "全腹子宫切除术(TAH)"、"腹腔镜子宫切除术(LH)"和 "阴道子宫切除术(VH)"。疗效包括手术时间、失血量和复发率,并发症包括术中和术后不良事件。 与 TAH 和 VH 相比,腹腔镜子宫切除术的手术时间最短,失血量最少。全腹子宫切除术的术中和术后并发症发生率最高,其次是LH和VH。三种技术的复发率相当。 与全腹和阴道子宫切除术相比,腹腔镜子宫切除术在手术效率和并发症发生率方面更具优势。

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of various remineralizing agents in stopping the early enamel lesions surrounding orthodontic brackets from progressing. Four groups were randomly allocated to a total of 100 participants: the control group (no treatment), calcium phosphate, casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), and fluoride varnish. Remineralizing chemicals were administered in accordance with manufacturer recommendations, and enamel lesions were created around orthodontic brackets. At baseline and follow-up visits, enamel lesion development was evaluated by visual inspection, quantitative light-induced fluorescence, and microhardness tests. All treatment groups showed significant improvements in microhardness and decreases in lesion size compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Of all the treatment groups, CPP-ACP showed the most notable improvement in microhardness. Regarding the reduction of lesion size, there were no notable variations between the therapy groups (P > 0.05). Initial enamel lesions surrounding orthodontic brackets can be effectively prevented from progressing with the use of fluoride varnish, calcium phosphate, and CPP-ACP. Promising improvements in microhardness indicate that CPP-ACP may be a better treatment choice. Larger sample sizes and longer follow-up times are needed for future studies to validate these results and clarify the best strategy for maintaining the health of enamel throughout orthodontic treatment.
摘要 本研究的目的是比较各种再矿化剂在阻止正畸托槽周围早期釉质病变发展方面的功效。 研究人员将 100 名参与者随机分为四组:对照组(无治疗)、磷酸钙组、酪蛋白磷酸肽-无定形磷酸钙组(CPP-ACP)和氟化物清漆组。根据制造商的建议使用再矿化化学品,并在正畸托槽周围制造釉质损伤。在基线和复诊时,通过目测、定量光诱导荧光和显微硬度测试来评估釉质病变的发展情况。 与对照组相比,所有治疗组的显微硬度都有明显改善,病变大小也有所减小(P < 0.05)。在所有治疗组中,CPP-ACP 对显微硬度的改善最为明显。在病变面积缩小方面,各治疗组之间没有明显差异(P > 0.05)。 使用氟化物清漆、磷酸钙和 CPP-ACP 可以有效防止正畸托槽周围的初期釉质病变继续发展。微硬度的改善表明 CPP-ACP 可能是更好的治疗选择。未来的研究需要更大的样本量和更长的随访时间来验证这些结果,并明确在整个正畸治疗过程中保持珐琅质健康的最佳策略。

ABSTRACT To examine sleep quality and its association with internet usage in undergraduate medical students. This cross-sectional observational study was conducted among 181 undergraduate medical students from January 2019 to March 2019. A predesigned, pretested, semistructured self-administered questionnaire including information on sociodemographic profiles and lifestyle questions was utilized. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) scale were applied. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 23.0. Students with moderate to severe internet addiction showed a total mean score of 6.76 ± 2.45, while those with mild internet addiction had a total mean PSQI score of 6.58 ± 2.57. An increasing severity of internet addiction was associated with poor quality of sleep (22.45%) (P < 0.01). Scores of IAT were assessed in relation to sleep quality, showing that with an increased average total score of internet addiction (39.93 ± 10.36), there was an increasing occurrence of poor sleep quality (P < 0.05). Excessive internet use was linked to poor sleep quality (11.04 ± 1.99) and was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Internet usage among young adults has become an alarming public health concern. Practicing caution in its use can help mitigate its negative impacts on both physical and psychological health. Healthy living requires maintaining a balance through participation in sports, education, culture, and other engaging activities.
摘要 研究医科本科生的睡眠质量及其与互联网使用的关系。 这项横断面观察性研究于2019年1月至2019年3月在181名医学本科生中进行。研究采用了一份预先设计、预先测试的半结构式自填问卷,其中包括社会人口学概况和生活方式问题等信息。采用了匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)量表和网络成瘾测试(IAT)量表。统计分析采用 SPSS 23.0 版进行。 中重度网瘾学生的 PSQI 总平均分为 6.76 ± 2.45,而轻度网瘾学生的 PSQI 总平均分为 6.58 ± 2.57。网瘾程度越严重,睡眠质量越差(22.45%)(P < 0.01)。IAT 分数与睡眠质量的关系评估显示,随着网络成瘾平均总分(39.93 ± 10.36)的增加,睡眠质量差的发生率也在增加(P < 0.05)。过度使用互联网与睡眠质量差(11.04 ± 1.99)有关,且有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。 年轻人使用互联网已成为一个令人担忧的公共健康问题。谨慎使用互联网有助于减轻其对身心健康的负面影响。健康的生活需要通过参与体育、教育、文化和其他参与性活动来保持平衡。

ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) among individuals in the northern population of India who have a habit of using tobacco. The study population consisted of residents over 18 years old from that specific area. Every patient included in the study had been diagnosed with OPMDs. A self-structured questionnaire was developed, which included details about the participant’s socio-demographic characteristics, dietary habits, medical history, oral health, adverse habits, and clinical profile. Out of the entire study population, 60 patients were found to have OPMD. The prevalence rates for leukoplakia, erythroplakia, and oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) were 3.90%, 0.10%, and 4.02%, respectively. Significant factors among all tobacco users included the type of tobacco, age group, and gender, after adjusting for baseline characteristics and risk factors. There was a significant association found between the use of smokeless tobacco and OPMDs.
摘要 该研究旨在确定印度北部有吸烟习惯的人群中口腔潜在恶性疾病(OPMD)的患病率。 研究对象包括该地区 18 岁以上的居民。研究中的每位患者都被诊断患有口腔恶性疾病。研究人员编制了一份自我结构化问卷,其中包括有关参与者的社会人口特征、饮食习惯、病史、口腔健康、不良习惯和临床概况等详细信息。 在整个研究人群中,发现有 60 名患者患有口腔黏膜白斑病。白斑病、红斑病和口腔黏膜下纤维化(OSMF)的患病率分别为 3.90%、0.10% 和 4.02%。在对基线特征和风险因素进行调整后,所有烟草使用者的重要因素包括烟草类型、年龄组和性别。 无烟烟草的使用与OPMD之间存在明显的关联。

ABSTRACT Orthodontic retention protocols are crucial for maintaining treatment stability post-orthodontic treatment. However, the optimal retention strategy remains debated. A retrospective analysis of patient records from a tertiary orthodontic center over 5 years was conducted. Variables, including retention protocols employed, duration of retention, and treatment stability, were weighed. Fixed retainers were the most commonly utilized retention protocol, followed by removable retainers and combination methods. Although the incidence of treatment relapse appeared higher among patients with removable retainers, the difference did not reach statistical significance. Combination protocols demonstrated comparable treatment stability to fixed retainers. This research gives understanding of the effectiveness of orthodontic retention protocols in a tertiary center setting. While fixed retainers remain widely used, removable retainers and combination methods also show promise in maintaining treatment stability. Addressing patient compliance issues and optimizing retention strategies based on individual patient needs are essential for enhancing treatment outcomes.
摘要 正畸保持方案对于保持正畸治疗后的治疗稳定性至关重要。然而,最佳的保持策略仍存在争议。 我们对一家三级正畸中心 5 年来的患者记录进行了回顾性分析。权衡了各种变量,包括采用的保持方案、保持时间和治疗稳定性。 固定保持器是最常用的保持方法,其次是活动保持器和组合方法。虽然可摘保持器患者的治疗复发率较高,但两者之间的差异并未达到统计学意义上的显著性。组合方案的治疗稳定性与固定保持器相当。 这项研究让人们了解了在三级中心环境下正畸保持方案的有效性。虽然固定保持器仍被广泛使用,但可摘保持器和组合方法也显示出保持治疗稳定性的前景。解决患者的依从性问题并根据患者的个人需求优化保持策略对于提高治疗效果至关重要。
