The relationship between oral and general health is bidirectional. During menopause, there is permanent cessation of menstrual cycle with a decrease in female hormonal level. This results in changes in general health, like dryness of the vagina, hot flashes, and dermatological, psychological, and cognitive changes. The oral manifestations include xerostomia, burning mouth syndrome, and periodontal and gingival diseases. The histological similarity between the oral and the vaginal mucosa can explain the similarity in their symptoms. Aims and objectives: To review the literature regarding oral health care and treatment needs of women after menopause and to guide gynecologists, dentists, and general practitioners in the principles of treatment of women with menopause-related oral health issues. Methods: The PubMed, EBSCO, and Cochrane database were searched until June 2020 with keywords like “menopause,” “menopausal problems,” “postmenopausal health issues,” “oral health,” “periodontal problems,” “dental health,” “dental disorders,” “saliva,” “burning mouth syndrome,” “glossodynia,” “xerostomia,”and “menopause hormone therapy (MHT).” Results: Estrogen receptors are present in the periodontium and salivary glands. This may account for increased incidences of periodontal diseases, xerostomia, and burning mouth syndrome in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, as there is a sharp decline in female steroid hormones. Xerostomia and glossodynia were the most common oral symptoms in women during and after menopause. MHT has not shown much effect in reducing oral symptoms. Conclusion: Dentists and gynecologists should work together to help perimenopausal and postmenopausal women in the reduction of their oral health problems and encourage them to maintain good oral hygiene and diet practices. There is a need for randomized controlled trials related to the role of hormone replacement therapy on oral health.

The whole world is amidst coronavirus outbreak which originated in Wuhan City, China, in the late December 2019. Coronavirus can be transmitted from person to person through direct or indirect contact or through aerosols generated during various medical and dental procedures. This has significant impact on dental health professionals who are at risk of infection. The purpose of this study is to assess the future impact of “coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)” on pediatric dental settings. A self-administered questionnaire was sent to various pediatric dentists across the globe through e-mail, which assessed their current state of mind and future preparation for practice. The collected data were analyzed, and percentage analysis was used to describe the data. The majority of study subjects (97%) believed that COVID-19 would affect the dental practice. In all, 86.1% would defer dental treatment to suspicious patients, and 91.5% would look for COVID-19 signs and symptoms after resuming practice. In all, 96.4% of professionals would follow universal precautions of infection control for every patient, and 98.8% would like World Health Organization (WHO) to issue guidelines for dental practitioners. Dental health professionals are well informed about COVID-19 and are preparing themselves for future practice using WHO and other Dental Associations guidelines. Kumar G, Rehman F, Haq JA.

To evaluate the patient's previous experience, attitude, and satisfaction toward the use of a digital intraoral camera in a dental camp. This study was conducted on visitors at the oral health awareness campaign, who had undergone oral health screening with the help of a digital intraoral camera. This study was conducted with the help of a questionnaire survey to ascertain their previous experience, attitude, and satisfaction toward the use of a digital intraoral camera in a dental setting. As a matter of easing the communication with the dentist, 92% opined that the use of intraoral cameras helps in easing the communication with the dentist. For deciding on the treatment plan, 93% have an opinion that a digital intraoral camera helps them in understanding the treatment options suggested by the dentist and to select the best treatment option for them. Regarding their satisfaction of the respondents toward the intraoral camera, n (%) 56.55 of them opined that they were very satisfied while n (%) 32.74 of them were satisfied and n (%) 10.71 were neutral in their opinion. Based on these results, it can be concluded that most of the people were very satisfied with the use of a digital intraoral camera in the dental clinic setting as an aid toward understanding their present oral health status. It also helps them in understanding the treatment plan that the dental surgeon has suggested and helps them in communicating with the dentist. Tom K.

Odontogenic myxoma is a benign, locally aggressive neoplasm that is known to have a high recurrence rate. Fibromyxoma is a variant of myxoma with a higher fibrous–myxoid tissue ratio. The peripheral type of odontogenic fibromyxoma still remains a diagnostic challenge, as very few cases are reported in the literature. One such case is reported here. A 54-year-old male patient reported to our OPD with a diffuse, slowly enlarging growth in the lower right side of the jaw without crossing the midline. Orthopantomogram was done that revealed generalized bone loss with cratering at the lesion site. Incisional biopsy was done along with immune histochemical evaluation for diagnosis confirmation. Surgical excision was done. No recurrence has been reported till now. These lesions clinically mimic any benign peripheral neoplasm. Hence, precise diagnosis is imperative before initiation of management protocols. Wide margin excision and rigid follow-up are recommended to minimize the chance of recurrence. Sil S.

Early childhood caries (ECC) has an impact on deciduous teeth of infants and children. Pediatricians and family physicians are often in a better position to evaluate children at an early age and are capable of assessing the oral health of children during regular visits. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of ECC among pediatricians and family physicians in Riyadh region. A close-ended self-administered questionnaire was hand-circulated and mailed to pediatricians and family physicians in 5 tertiary hospitals in Riyadh (King Khalid University Hospital, King Saud Medical City, King Fahad Medical City, Prince Sultan Medical Military City, Security Forces Hospital) to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) about ECC. A total of 207 medical practitioners participated in the study. The mean KAP scores were compared across different categories by applying Kruskal Wallis tests. Pediatricians showed higher knowledge [5.05 vs 4.28, p = 0.000], attitude [2.38 vs 2.30, p = 0.565], and practice [4.0 vs 3.58, p = 0.003] scores toward early childhood caries compared to the family physicians. The mean knowledge and practice scores were significantly higher among pediatricians compared to the family physicians. However, no significant difference was observed in attitude scores. Most of the physicians have knowledge regarding some aspects of early childhood caries but not the identification of early childhood caries. It is the need of the hour to formulate oral health information programs catering to both pediatricians and family physicians. Alshammari TM, Ingle NA, Baseer MA, et al.

幼儿龋病(Early childhood龋病，ECC)对婴幼儿乳牙发育有重要影响。儿科医生和家庭医生往往更有能力在儿童早期进行评估，并能够在定期就诊时评估儿童的口腔健康状况。本研究的目的是评估利雅得地区儿科医生和家庭医生对ECC的知识、态度和实践。向利雅得5家三级医院(哈立德国王大学医院、沙特国王医疗城、法赫德国王医疗城、苏丹王子医疗军事城、安全部队医院)的儿科医生和家庭医生分发并邮寄了一份自我填写的封闭问卷，以评估有关ECC的知识、态度和实践。共有207名医生参与了这项研究。应用Kruskal - Wallis测试比较不同类别的平均KAP分数。儿科医生对儿童早期龋病的知识(5.05 vs 4.28, p = 0.000)、态度(2.38 vs 2.30, p = 0.565)和实践(4.0 vs 3.58, p = 0.003)得分均高于家庭医生。儿科医生的平均知识和实践得分明显高于家庭医生。然而，在态度得分上没有观察到显著差异。大多数医生对儿童早期龋齿的某些方面有所了解，但对儿童早期龋齿的识别却知之甚少。制定适合儿科医生和家庭医生的口腔健康信息计划是当务之急。Alshammari TM, Ingle NA, Baseer MA，等。利雅得市儿科医生和家庭医生对儿童早期龋齿的知识、态度和实践口腔卫生杂志，2020;14(2):54-61。
