Background: For many infants and children non-nutritive sucking habits are very common and one of those habits is pacifier suck- ing, however, if this habit persist beyond the age of 3 years it may cause esthetic, occlusal and psychological changes. This study was conducted to determine the effect of pacifier sucking habit on the oral health of children aged 1-5 years old in Baghdad city and to assess its role in the modification of the oral microflora. Materials and methods: The study was carried out among children aged 1-5 years old with no history of any systemic diseases nor taking any medical treatment for the past two weeks prior to the examination, 50 children with continuous pacifier sucking habit were chosen to be the study group, compared to 50 children without any sucking habit (control group) matching the study group in age and gender. Information sheet filled by the parents concerning general health and frequency of oral infections of their children was taken. Oral microorganisms samples were obtained from children and cultured aerobically using blood agar, MacConkey agar, chocolate agar and sabauraud, s dextrose agar. Results: Children with pacifier sucking habit showed higher frequency of having continuous oral infections (44%) whereas in non pacifier sucking group it was zero. Concerning the oral infections, a statistical difference was found by which the pacifier sucking children oral infections exceed significantly that of the non pacifier sucking children (P<0.01). Regarding the oral microorganisms, more types were found among pacifier sucking children. Candida, Sterp.pyogenes, strep.faecalis, E.coli, Acinetobacter and sterp. pneumonia were more common among pacifier sucking children. Conclusion: Pacifier use affect types and frequency of microorganisms found in the oral cavity which may affect the frequency of oral infections. Health programs should be constructed to improve parents’ knowledge concerning the effect of pacifier use in the oral health of their children and how to clean it if it used to reduce its contamination.

Background: Tempromandibular disorders is a collective term, embracing several clinical roblems involving the muscles of mastica- tion, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), or both . Tempromandibular disorders is a symptom complex rather than a single condition. TMDs form a cluster of related disorders with common symptoms which include localized pain, limited or asymmetric movement, and clicks or grating on opening . Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory arthropathy that affects patients with psoriasis . The clinical findings for Tempromandibular PSA are pain, tenderness, limitation of movement , joint stiffness, clicking as the jaw is opened or closed, difficulty in opening the mouth, locking of the jaw,and crepitations. These findings are essentially the same as for myofascial pain/dysfunction (3) . The objective of the study were to determine the extent of tempromandibular joint involve- ment in patients with psoriatic arthritis and to evaluate the correlation between clinical findings and radiographic finding. Materials and method: In this study 98 patients were selected ,50 male and 48 female, their age ranged between(18-68)years. They were collected at Al –yarmook teaching hospital/department of.They were diagnosed as having psoriatic arthritis by a derma- tologist according to (Moll and Wright diagnostic criteria 1973) (11) . These patients were subjected to rheumatoid factor test RF to exclude the presence of rheumatoid arthritic disease, then the patients were exposed to CT scanning for the Tempromandibular joint in Al-Yarmook teaching hospital for screening the involvement of TMJ with psoriatic arthritis by the presence of any radio- graphic changes such as erosion, flattening,osteophyte and sclerosis in the condylar head. Results: The result of the study showed that the mean age of psoriatic arthritic patients in TMJ was (44.2) years, and female per- centage was (48.4%) and male was(51.6%). Psoriatic arthritis in TMJ showed high significance in the unilateral side complaining (100%) and itwas significant in the positive family history (54.8%), and non significant in the right/left ratio (41.9%). Oligo type was found in twenty six patients (83.9%) with significant p-value. Clinically: all symptoms including clicking, tenderness and temproma- dibular joint pain were highly significant, limitation showed (54.8%), TMJ pain showed (64.5%) and tenderness showed (54.8%). Radiologically: CT scan showed sensitivity for erosion in TMJ (54.8%), for osteophyte (32.3%), for condylar flattening (16.1%) and for sclerosis (9.7%) while specificity for all were (100%). Association between clinical and radiological changes showed non significant correlation. Conclusions: Psoriatic arthritis of TMJ is unilateral (oligo type).Female/ male ratio is about 1:1. About 50% of patients have lim- itation in mouth opening. Most of the patients have positive family history. Duration of the disease is related to the development of psoriatic arthritis in TMJ. Plaq

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the number of canals treated in the mesio-buccal roots of the maxillary first molars in Iraqi population. Materials and Methods: The examiners verified the number of canals in the teeth using different methods including: magnifying lens, bubble test and radio graphical method. Results: In total, 200 maxillary first molars of which 148 teeth (74%) met the criterion of having two canals detected and treated in the mesio-buccal root of the maxillary first molars. Discussion and conclusion: The fact that almost more than half the mesio-buccal roots of the maxillary first molars bear two canals is enough reason to assume always that two canals exist until careful examination proves otherwise. According to this study there was no difference in the prevalence of 2 nd MB canal in maxillary 1 st molar between males and females.

Background : α-L- Fucose is one of the eight essential monosaccharides, which is a common component of many nitrogen and oxgyen linked glycans of glycoproteins and glycolipids produced by mammalian cells. The objective of this study is to evaluate the histopathological effect of local injection of 50μl of 150mM fucose into rabbits with gingivitis. Materials and Methods: The existing study was carried out on 60 male rabbits. From the total number 5 rabbits with healthy gingiva had been taken and scarified , while an experimental gingivitis had been induced to the rest 55 rabbits and were divided randomly into 3 main groups ; first group consisted of 5 rabbits with gingival inflammation only and were not received any local injection and considered as a base line gingivitis non injected group ; second group consisted of 25 rabbits with gingival inflammation and were injected with 50 μl of normal saline into the bottom of gingival sulcus of mid-labial area of lower right central incisor and considered as gingivitis saline injected group ; third group consisted of 25 rabbits with gingival inflammation and were injected in the same area with 50μl of 150mM fucose solution and considered as gingivitis fucose injected group. Then periodontal tissue biopsy was collected from both saline and fucose injected subgroups at different time intervals of 1, 3 ,7 ,14, and 21 days after injection , from gingivitis non injected group, and from rabbits without gingival inflammation . Results : The results showed that fucose injection resulted in rapid reepithelization , reduction of inflammatory reaction , and fibrous tissue regeneration in short duration of time after injection. Conclusion: α-L- Fucose can be used as anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment of gingivitis (gingivitis induced by plaque).

Background: Canines are unique teeth because they have certain characteristics and responsibilities. They are located in the corner of the mouth, assist the incisors in cutting and tearing food, help the posterior teeth by guiding the mandible during the action of mastication. This survey aimed to determine the prevalence and gender difference of buccally malposed maxillary canines and to study the relation of this problem with the sagittal occlusion, crowding, retard deciduous canine and lack of space in the dental arch in a sample of intermediate schools students from Sammawa city. Materials and methods: A total of 3200 students (1600 males and 1600 females) aged 13-14 years old from Sammawa city were examined to detect the buccally malposed maxillary canines. For each diagnosed case, the sagittal occlusion, the sides affected on the maxillary arch, angulation of the canines, presence of crowding, retard deciduous canine and space lacking were determined. Z-score test was used to detect the gender difference, while Chi square test was applied to correlate the canine malposition with other factors. Results : In general 311(9.72%) of total sample have buccally malposed maxillary canines. Of them, 163(10.19%) were males and 148(9.25%) were females. This problem appeared to be higher in class I than other sagittal relations. Mesially angulated canine was more prevalent than distally one and in right more than left with non-significant gender difference. The prevalence of buccally malposed maxillary canines with the presence of crowding and retard primary canines was higher in males than females with non-significant gender difference. There was high significant association between buccally malposed canine and lacking of space. Conclusions: Regular visits of the children to the general practitioners and /or orthodontists are mandatory trying to preserve the deciduous teeth and to educate the parents about the importance of these teeth. In addition to that, the age between 9 to 10 years is important to detect the bulging of canines trying to minimize the possibility of ectopic canine eruption.

Background: Two factors, safety and stability that clinicians should consider during miniscrew implant placement. Safety is involved to MD distance and stability is involved to bone thickness. No Iraqi studies had been evaluated bone thickness and mesiodistal distance related to mini-implant placement for orthodontic anchorage at age 18 -35 years The aim of study: This study aimed to assess the three dimensional interradicular areas and the cortical bone thickness in Iraqi patients wit h Class I skeletal pattern and to determine the safe and suitable sites for orthodontic miniscrew implant by use the CBCT. Materials and Methods : The sample of the present study include a total of 20 Iraqi arabic patients aged 18-35 years of both sexes (10 males and 10 females) attending the Porceka Center at al Hilla city for CBCT scan for different CBCT diagnostic purposes from the period between November 2014 to May 2015.Measurements were made from the mesial aspect of the first premolar to the mesial aspect of the second molar of mandible, at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mm heights from the alveolar bone crest in each interradicular area. Results: In males, the greatest buccal cortical thickness, buccolingual alveolar process width and mesiodistal distance were between the first and second molar at 10-mm height (3.8 ± 0.92 mm, 15.7 ± 1.33 mm and 4.7± 1.01respectively). In females, the greatest buccal cortical thickness, buccolingual alveolar process width and mesiodistal distance were between the first and second molar at 10-mm height (2.7 ± 0.16 mm, 13.8 ± 1.59 mm and 6.1± 0.91respectively). There was statistically significant sex difference in buccal cortical thickness, buccolingual alveolar process width and mesiodistal distance which were larger with males. Conclusion: Cone Beam Computed Tomography is a precise tool for evaluation the interradicular area and buccal cortical bone thickness to select the most suitable position of orthodontic miniscrew insertion.

In females, the greatest buccal cortical thickness, buccolingual alveolar process width and mesiodistal distance were between the first and second molar at 10-mm height (2.7 ± 0.16 mm, 13.8 ± 1.59 mm and 6.1± 0.91respectively). There was statistically significant sex difference in buccal cortical thickness, buccolingual alveolar process width and mesiodistal distance which were larger with males. Conclusion: Cone Beam Computed Tomography is a precise tool for evaluation the interradicular area and buccal cortical bone thickness to select the most suitable position of orthodontic miniscrew insertion.","PeriodicalId":78326,"journal":{"name":"Iraqi Dental Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89681433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Background: Denture bearing tissue condition may be highly affected by stress applied from the occlusal force during function of mastication therefore the need for denture soft lining material application is necessary and testing the bond strength of this material to acrylic denture base is of some point of interest and need to be improved. The aim of the study is to test the shear bond strength of soft lining materials to the denture base after surface modifications and using different denture base materials. Materials and Methods: 120 samples included in the study to test the shear bond strength, sample grouped according to surface treatment of acrylic resin (Control without surface treatment, monomer surface treatment, Nd-Yag laser surface treatment (10 Hz and 20 Watt) and Nd-Yag laser surface treatment (10 Hz and 40 Watt)) with different denture base materials used (High impact acrylic, Heat cured acrylic and light cured acrylic), the shear bond strength test was made by using universal testing machine with cross head speed 40 mm/ min the force required for soft lining material complete separation from the acrylic resin materials calculated. Statistical analysis made by SPSS software analysis using ANOVA Table with LSD multiple Comparison. Results: the highest value of shear bond strength found in group with high impact acrylic and 2nd dose of laser treatment applied, while the lowest one found In a group of light cured acrylic when 1st dose of laser treatment used. the comparison among groups made by using ANOVA Table with LSD which revealed that there was a highly significant difference between all groups with different surface treatments except heat cured and light cured groups. A highly significant difference also found between 2nd dose of laser treatment and control, monomer and 1st dose of laser surface treatment when different materials used. Soft lining materials, denture base, Laser, Monomer. High impact acrylic, light cured acrylic. 2nd dose of laser surface treatment when 10 Hz and 40 Watt of Nd-Yag Laser applied Show the highest value of shear bond strength in high impact acrylic group, while the lowest value was recorded in light cured acrylic with 1st does laser treatment.

Background: Antibiotics Resistance can be the main problem faced by the specialists in the medical fields. The main reason of such resistance is the improper prescribing of antibiotics. In dentistry this problem must be in concern for 2 reasons, first, limited and outdated knowledge of many dentist in Iraq with recent modalities in the field of therapeutics, so they keep prescribing penicillins, for every odontogenic infection (rationale prescribing), second, the patient who keeps prescribing the same drug for himself every time (i.e. dealing with antibiotic as over-the-counter drug). Aim of the study: This review will clarifies the use of amoxicillin (most prescribed drug in Iraqi dental clinics) vs the use of third generation quinolones (levofloxacin) in an important field of dental practice which is periodontology, with focusing on levofloxacin as it took a privileged position in medical researches. Conclusion: levofloxacin was superior to amoxicillin since it is applied once daily, few nonhazardous side effects, nearly 100 % bioavailability in spite of different rout of administration, and can be applied topically as gels and intra- pocket films. Perhaps this can change a lot among practitioners’ and non- practitioners’ prescribing (habits).
