Objective: The study aims to determine the influence of FHP on cervical proprioception in dentists. Method: In the study, 84 dentists were divided into two groups based on their craniovertebral (CV) angle: the FHP group (44 subjects with mean age 34.95 ± 6.68 years and CV angle 49° or less) and a healthy group (40 subjects with mean age 29.80 ± 6.46 years, CV angle ≥ 49°). CV angle: an angle formed between a line extending from 7th cervical vertebrae (C7) to the tragus of the ear and a horizontal line passing through C7. The cervical Joint Position Error (JPE) testing is performed as an estimate of cervical proprioception in sagittal (flexion, extension) and transverse plane (rotation to the left and the right). Three trials of JPE’s were tested in each direction, and the mean of these errors is used for analysis. Results: There were significant differences between the FHP and healthy subjects in the cervical JPEs (p

Objective: To assess primary care physicians’ knowledge and practice related to diabetes mellitus in Aseer Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Subjects and Methods: A total of 153 primary health care (PHC) physicians were included from Aseer Region. Each participant physician was interviewed using a study questionnaire that comprised personal characteristics data sheet and PHC physicians’ assessment of knowledge (15 questions) and practices (10 questions). Results: Excellent knowledge and practice grades were attained by32.7% and 23.5%, respectively, while unsatisfactory knowledge and practice grades were attained by 8.5% and 22.2% of PHC physicians. PHC physicians who had significantly more “excellent” knowledge grades were older (p

Objective: To determine the relationship between prevalence of malocclusion in children and parents educational status. Methods: A total of 2000 Saudi male and female subjects between the ages 12-16 years were selected randomly from secondary schools within Aseer region. Subjects presenting with identified systemic diseases were excluded from the study and were examined for malocclusion using a standard orthodontic assessment form. SPSS software, version 14.0, has been used to analyse the statistics of data thus collected. Results: The prevalence of malocclusion for children of parents with post-doctoral degrees was lowest at 76.6%. Parents with master’s degree show a slightly higher prevalence of malocclusion among their children at 4% and 8% in children of parents with only primary education. The highest prevalence of malocclusion was noted in subjects of the parents with Bachelor’s degrees (at 48%) and with secondary level education at 25%. Conclusion: The study shows that parents with higher levels of education have protective effect on their child’s occlusion probably due to better access to resources and higher level of motivation to interrupt habits which affected the child’s oral health. Further research involving larger sample size and distribution involving multiple co variables should be done to explore the potential role of various risk factors of malocclusion.
