Recently, with the emergence of world pandemic called COVID-19 virus all over the world, dental practitioners have stood out as high risked front liners. The aim of this study is to analyse the knowledge and management of emergency and safety precautions implemented by dentists during the pandemic of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia. An online survey was used for this cross-sectional study using google forms and was distributed to dental professionals who works in government hospitals, private clinics, and academic universities in Saudi Arabia. Statistical evaluation was done using the data that was obtained from 355 dentists (academicians, private practitioners, military and government employees), with the power of the sample being 0.85. Relevant awareness regarding the incubation period and symptoms of COVID-19 virus was observed among the dental professionals. Preparedness and perception among dental professionals seem to be satisfactory and statistically significant. Obligatory improvements should be provided through educational campaigns.

This study aimed to assess the indirect restorative treatment plan decision-making of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) made by dental practitioners and their knowledge and perceptions of the available treatment alternatives in Saudi Arabia. A structured, close-ended, and self-administered questionnaire consisting of personal characteristics and various questions on the treatment concept and materials for restoring ETT were assessed among the study participants. The questionnaire was administered online and manually, and 425 responses were obtained. Descriptive statistics of frequency distribution and percentages were calculated for the categorical data. In addition, The Chi-square test or Fisher's exact tests were applied to compare responses across various characteristics of the study participants. A total of 425 responses were obtained from the study participants. The study participants commonly used post, core, and crown to restore the posterior endodontically treated tooth. Nearly half (49.40%) agreed that prefabricated fiber post was the most common type of post used for restoring posterior endodontically treated teeth. Almost 60.2% of study participants agreed to place a post after every endodontic treatment. Nearly 61.9% are not confident in doing endocrowns, and 69% did not attend any workshops on it. 31.8% reported that they got familiar with endocrowns through social media. Statistically significant associations were found between participants' characteristics and several items of ETT knowledge. The majority of study participants regarded fiber posts and crowned as the most common endodontic treatment. Undergraduate endodontic instruction is lacking.

Isolation is the major thing in the quality of treatment. But often clinicians consider rubber dam use can cause anxiety and fear evoking stimuli that may hamper their rapport with the child and thereby affect the quality of treatment. This creates a reluctance among practitioners to use rubber dams in the pediatric population.The aim of the study was to assess the anxiety levels in children in the age group of 6 to 10 years undergoing dental treatment with or without a rubber dam using the Animoji scale. This study was conducted on 48 children in the age group of 6 - 10 years, divided into two groups: group 1 (cotton roll isolation) and group 2 (rubber dam isolation). Anxiety levels were assessed using an animoji (animated emoji) scale which has a scale of score 1 to score 5 (very happy to very unhappy). The obtained data were statistically analyzed using SPSS(Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Version 24.0 (IBM Corporation, Chicago, USA). Descriptive and analytical statistics were done. The independent t-test was performed to know the differences between the two groups.The result proved that by comparing group 1 and group 2 there was no statistically significant difference between the two different groups p>0.05.This study concludes that the use of rubber dams does not create a significant rise in anxiety levels in children. Thus considering the advantages of rubber dams they should be used in Pediatric dentistry in an attempt to provide quality dental treatment for children.
隔离是治疗质量的主要因素。但临床医生通常认为，橡胶坝的使用会引起焦虑和恐惧，引发刺激，可能会妨碍他们与孩子的融洽关系，从而影响治疗质量。这造成了从业人员不愿在儿科人群中使用橡胶坝。该研究的目的是使用Animoji量表评估6至10岁儿童在接受或不接受橡胶坝牙科治疗时的焦虑水平。研究对象为48名6 ~ 10岁儿童，分为2组:1组(棉卷隔离)和2组(橡胶坝隔离)。焦虑程度是用animoji(动画表情符号)量表来评估的，该量表分为1到5分(非常快乐到非常不快乐)。使用SPSS(Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Version 24.0 (IBM Corporation, Chicago, USA)对所得数据进行统计分析。进行了描述性和分析性统计。进行独立t检验以了解两组之间的差异。结果表明，1组与2组比较，两组间差异无统计学意义p>0.05。这项研究的结论是，使用橡胶坝并不会显著增加儿童的焦虑水平。因此，考虑到橡胶坝的优点，他们应该在儿科牙科中使用，试图为儿童提供高质量的牙科治疗。

Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are common in children of all ages and can result in tooth breakage, displacement, or loss, severely impacting function, esthetics, and psychological well-being. Almost 25% of children experience dental trauma at school, with men being two times as likely as women, the upper central incisors are most often affected, with a high frequency between 8 and 10.A survey was used to perform this cross-sectional investigation of Riyadh's dental. A simple random sampling method was used to include 450 dentists in the research. A questionnaire method comprised of questions on demographics and awareness and understanding of oral traumatic injuries was developed as part of the study. The mean overall knowledge score was 7.11±2.90. The results showed that the presence of ongoing training sessions on dental trauma had a substantial impact on the mean knowledge (P = 0.039). The overall awareness of dentists towards the management of dental trauma is satisfactory, with their training having a significant impact.
