Introduction: Control on children`s dental anxiety is one of the important & effective factor predicting treatment success. Personality factors & parenting style can be very effective in children`s dental anxiety. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between parenting styles and child`s dental anxiety and behavior in dental setting. Materials & Methods: This is a descriptive study done a sample of 126 children aged 4-6 years old and their parents participated in this study in the year 2020. Sampling method was nonrandom and simple. MCDASf questionnaire was used to measure children`s dental anxiety and Bumrind questionnaire was used for scores of parenting styles. Data were analyzed by Pearson Correlation, Spearman Correlation, and chi-square tests. Results: A significant relationship between the score of authoritative parenting style in parents and pediatric dental anxiety (p value = 0.803, r = 0.022). However, a significant inverse relationship was observed between the score of authoritarian parenting style in parents and children's dental anxiety (p value < 0.001, r = -0.307). Also, a direct and significant relationship was observed between the score of permissive parenting style in parents and children's dental anxiety (p value < 0.001, r = 0.318). Conclusion: Dental anxiety and behavior in children is associated with parenting style.

Introduction: The relationship between dental caries in children and abnormalities in their body mass index is still controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Severe Early Childhood Caries (SECC). Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, 150 children with SECC (case group) and 150 caries- free kids for the control group were recruited from a number of Isfahan city’s private clinics in the year 2019.Parameters including weight and height were measured, and BMI (kg/m2 ) was calculated. The subjects were categorized based on BMI adjusted for age and gender as: underweight (<5th percentile), healthy weight (5th to <85th percentile), overweight (85th to <95th percentile), and obesity (≥95th percentile). The data was analyzed by using Chi-squared, Fisher’s exact test, and Mann-Whitney by considering a significance level at 0.05. Results: There was a significant difference in the frequency of weight groups between the two groups of children without caries and with severe caries (p value = 0.007). There was a significant difference in the frequency of weight groups between boys and girls in the two groups of children (p value < 0.001). Frequency of weight groups in the age groups of 2, 3, 4 and 5 years there was a significant difference between the two groups of children (p value < 0.001). The mean body mass index in children with severe dental caries was significantly lower than children without caries (p value < 0.001). Conclusion: According to the findings, a majority of children with SECC were underweight compared to caries free children, suggesting SECC may adversely affect growth.

Introduction: Quality of root canal treatment is considered as an important prognostic factor for endodontic therapy success. The aim of this study is to evaluate radiographic errors during the root canal treatment by 5th and 6th year undergraduate students of Islamic Azad university of Isfahan (Khorasgan) from 2015 to 2018. Materials & Methods: In this study records of 860 cases of endodontic treatment of patients referred to the General Endodontics Department and the Comprehensive Treatment Department of Isfahan Azad University (Khorasgan) during 2015-2018 including 1903 root canals that had received root canal treatment were examined. Periapical radiography was used to evaluate errors during access cavity preparation, canal preparation, and canal filling by two endodontic specialists and it was recorded in pre-prepared forms. In the access cavity preparation: furcation perforation, low access cavity expansion, high access cavity expansion were evaluated. During the canal preparation phase, errors such as missing of canal, ledge, transport, perforation types and broken instruments were investigated. Length and density of root filing were the criteria evaluated at the canal filling stage. The analysis was performed at both descriptive and inferential levels. Statistical analysis was performed by Chi-Square test and exact Fisher's test. Results: Frequency of acceptable root canal treatment (without errors) was 37.5%. Lower first molars showed the highest error rate (40.7%). Furcation perforation was reported with 9.4% highest error of access cavity preparation. The highest error rate was reported transport (7.8%) in the preparation phase. Inadequate density (gap) of 36.9% and under filling of 31.1% had the highest error in filling stage. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it can be stated that general endodontics department needs careful planning to increase the quality of root canal treatments performed by students.

Introduction: Periodontitis is one of the most common periodontal diseases, characterized by destruction of connective tissue and supporting structure of the tooth. Osteoporosis is a systemic disease of skeletal tissue characterized by a decrease in bone mass and leads to the destruction of bone structure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between systemic osteoporosis and periodontal status in menopausal women referred to the bone density measurement center in Gorgan. Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, 56 menopausal women aged 45-65 years participated. Among the participants, 28 individuals had osteoporosis and 28 women were healthy. Periodontal pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque index (PI) and gingivitis index (GI) were measured for each patient. Finally, the data were analyzed using 95% confidence level. Results: A total of 56 menopausal women were included in the study. The mean GI in the osteoporotic group was 0.74 ± 1.43 and in the non-osteoporotic group was 0.77 ± 1.32 (p value = 0.280). The mean periodontal pocket depth in the osteoporotic group (0.63 ± 3.73) was more than the non- osteoporotic group 0.57 ± 3.66 (p value = 0.363). PI mean in the osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic groups were 37.11 ± 15 and 37.39 ± 15, respectively (p value = 0.363). Conclusion: The mean clinical attachment level in menopausal women with osteoporosis was significantly higher than normal menopausal women. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in other indices of periodontal disease such as PPD, PI, GI.

Introduction: In some studies, photodynamic therapy with some light sources and light-absorbing materials were used against Candida. In this study, the antifungal effects of 630 nm photosan with different concentrations of methylene blue on Candida albicans that had been grown on dentures was investigated. In data searches no similar study was found. Materials & Methods: This experimental laboratory study was performed in Isfahan Azad University in 2019-2020. On total 26 similar dentures were prepared. Suspension of 0.5 McFarland Candidia albicans was inoculated on the dentures. The samples were put into three groups (seven in each) with different concentrations of methylene blue (0.1, 0.01, 0.001 g/l) and photosan with a wavelength of 630 nm was used. Five control samples including untreated control, photosan alone and three controls with methylene blue concentrations only were considered. The number of colonies was counted using manual and ocular methods. Data were analyzed with T-test, ANOVA. Results: The mean number of Candida albicans grown on dentures after photodynamic therapy and different concentrations of methylene blue was significantly different from control groups (p value < 0.05). The mean number of Candida albicans grown on dentures after photodynamic therapy were significantly different between the three concentrations of methylene blue (p value < 0.001). Methylene blue with a concentration of 0.1 mg had significantly better efficacy against candida compared with two other concentrations (p value < 0.001). Conclusion: Photodynamic therapy with photosan and methylene blue with a concentration of 0.1 provided better results compared to others in reducing Candida albicans.

Introduction: Oral lichen planus is a relatively common chronic autoimmune and inflammatory disease in which altered cellular mediated immune response plays a major role in its pathogenesis. Among the possible factors influencing development of oral lichen planus, the role of mental disorders, especially depression and anxiety, has been discussed in pathogenesis of this disease. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of depression in patients with oral lichen planus referred to the dental clinic of Isfahan University in year 2018-2019. Materials & Methods: In the present case-control study, 40 patients with oral lichen planus referred to the dental clinic of Isfahan University in 2018-2019 (case group) and 40 subjects without oral lichen planus (control group) were investigated. Next, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was completed by all subjects. Finally, the obtained data were analyzed using statistical software. Results: The obtained results indicated that the average age in case group (43.53 years) was lower than the control group (44.68 years). In addition, the mean for depression in case group (12.78) was higher than control group (9.5), however, this difference was not statistically significant (p value > 0.05). Conclusion: In general, this study indicated the role of depression in the pathogenesis of oral lichen planus. It was noted that high levels of depression can be an initiation point for various autoimmune reactions and oral lichen planus.

Introduction: The students’ self-confidence level is a key factor affecting the success of endodontics learning. This study aimed to determine the confidence level of dental students who performing root canal treatment at Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences in 2021. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study a questionnaire including demographic information, endodontic experience, attitude toward confidence in performing different stages of root canal treatment, and suggestions for improving the quality of endodontic education was distributed among 54 dentistry students from 5th and 6th -year during the last month of the academic semester. Data were analyzed using T-test, Pearson, and ANOVA tests (α = 0.05). Results: According to the results, of 49 dental students, 24.5% reported the first cases of root canal treatment to be tough. The lowest confidence was reported for finding all root canals in teeth with multiple root canals, preparing access cavity and understanding and managing root canal treatment risks. According to the results of chi-square analysis test, the total confidence score between 5th and 6th year students was not significantly different (p value = 0.648). Also, the relationship between general selfconfidence and students' self-confidence level was not seen (p value = 0.372). There was no significant relationship between the Confidence level and age, academic year, the difficulty level of the first endodontic treatment, and number of endodontic treatments (p value > 0.05). Conclusion: Students had lower self-confidence finding all the canals in multi-canal teeth, in properly handling the treatment risks, and preparing the access cavity. Endodontics training should also be improved by increasing clinical sessions and using recent advances in endodontics.

Introduction: Impacted third molar reduces the bone level in the distal aspect of second molar, and sometimes it can lead to external root resorption of the adjacent second molar. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and quality of this resorption using cone-beam computed tomography scanning. Materials & Methods: In this descriptive study, CBCT images selected from 60 patients (including 107 maxillary & mandibular impacted third molars) were obtained from patients referring to maxillofacial radiology department of dental faculty of Islamic Azad University of Isfahan (Khorasgan) in 2016. Under observation of oral radiologist, the images were examined (two times with one-week interval) in axial, coronal, and sagittal sections and recorded to diagnose external root resorption in CBCT. The data were analyzed via descriptive statistics including contingency tables and relative abundance. Results: The prevalence of external root resorption of second molar, adjacent to the third molar were 43.25%. The most common type of third molar impaction were mesioangular third molars (41.1%) and in the next level were the vertical (28.1%), and distoangular (18.7) and then horizontal (12.1). The most common location of resorption in mandibular second molar teeth was in 1/3 of cervical (62.5%), and then 1/3 of apical (20.8%) and 1/3 of the middle (12.5%). Also one of teeth resorptions (4.2%) was between the 1/3 of apical and 1/3 of the middle. The most common site of resorption in maxillary second molar teeth was at 1/3 of the apical (68.45%), and then at the 1/3 of the middle (17.35%) and 1/3 of cervical (8.7%). With regards to the severity of resorption; 78.96% of resorptions were mild, 12.03% severe, and 9.03 were moderate. Conclusion: The prevalence of this type of resorption is almost high and the most common position of impacted third molars that resulted in this type of resorption are mesioangular and horizontal. Most common site of resorption in the maxilla was 1.3 of the apical and in the mandible was 1.3 of the cervical, which were often mild in resorption.

Introduction: One of the problems and challenges faced in the field of dentistry can be attributed to filing a lawsuit against the dentist resulting in discontent, consuming time and energy from both parties. This study can be useful for students and dentists because it will enable them to identify cases that lead to filing lawsuits and in turn adhere to the principles of professional ethics when treating and interacting with patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between adherence to the principles of professional ethics and frequency of lawsuits in Isfahan city between 2010 to 2020. Materials & Methods: In this Cross-Sectional study, 706 files of lawsuits during 2010-2020 at the Isfahan medical archives of records and the deputy department of treatment were evaluated and the relevant information was extracted. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics test. Results: A rising trend was observed in the rate of lawsuits. The most common reason for the lawsuits was related to not having the knowledge, skill and experience, additional consultations and referrals to other dentists, overbilling and unethical behavior in the workplace. A higher Frequency of lawsuits were associated to male and general dentists. Conclusion: Dental complaints had a rising trend, and the most commonly reported cases were related to not having the knowledge, skill, experience and additional consultation and referrals.
