Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to systematically review literature relating to the quality of life (QoL) in adult individuals with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) and identify which aspect of QoL adults with CLP find to be the most problematic, in comparison to a general non-cleft population. Design: Different databases were searched for this review including the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Ovid MEDLINE and Embase. Five domains of QoL were identified to evaluate the overall results of these QoL measures. These domains were; physical function, physical pain, psychological implications and self-esteem, self-perception in relation to facial aesthetics, and social function. The studies included underwent critical appraisal and different types of bias were assessed based on the Cochrane handbook for systematic reviews of interventions. Results: Ten studies were included in this review. The total number of participants was 541. The most common QoL measure for adults with CLP was Short-Form (SF-36). Seven studies out of 10 reported statistically significantly worse scores (P < 0.05) in the psychological implications and self-esteem domains of QoL in adults with CLP, indicating lower QoL in terms of these domains. The least affected QoL domain was physical function. A high heterogeneity was found among the studies, including variation in the QoL measures, types of orofacial clefts, types of treatment and comparison groups. Conclusion: The presence of CLP did seem to negatively affect the QoL for adults with CLP, mainly in terms of psychological implications and self-esteem. |

Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to systematically review literature on the effectiveness of surgical regenerative treatment for peri-implantitis. Methods: Different databases were searched including the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE and MEDLINE. Primary outcomes were changes in probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), radiographic marginal bone level (RBL) and signs of infection. Secondary outcomes were facial marginal recession, aesthetic outcomes and cost of treatment. Only randomised controlled trials (RCTs) with a minimum of 12 months follow-up period after regenerative surgical treatment were selected according to PRISMA guidelines. Main results: Five studies were selected. The highest mean reduction of PPD was 3.1 mm in a bovine-derived xenograft (BDX) group. The highest percentage reduction of BOP occurred in patients treated with implantoplasty and saline (a reduction of 85.2%). The highest mean defect fill of RBL was reported in the porous titanium granules group (3.6 mm). Mean reductions of PPD, RBL and facial marginal soft tissue recession were statistically insignificant (p-value > 0.05) in the studies included. However, the mean reduction in BOP was statistically significant (p-value < 0.05) in four studies as compared to the baseline (before treatment). A high heterogeneity among the studies included, regarding surgical protocols, defects morphology and selection of biomaterials, was found. Conclusion: All studies included showed an improvement in clinical conditions after surgical regenerative treatment for peri-implantitis. However, no study has shown any statistical significance in its approach. There is a lack of scientific evidence in literature regarding which type of bone substitute has superiority in the treatment of peri-implantitis, as well as the role of barrier membranes, methods for detoxification of implant surfaces and antimicrobial prescriptions. For these reasons further well-designed RCTs are recommended. |

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate dental anxiety levels among adults with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) and compare to adults with no orofacial cleft. The study also intended to find out the impact of cleft severity, gender and age on the perceived dental anxiety. Methods: The study was composed of a sample of 70 adult participants who received and completed dental treatments. After sending self-addressed envelopes with consent forms and Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) to 192 potential participants, 35 participants with CL/P (CL/P group) and 35 participants with no CL/P (control group), agreed to participate. Data were analysed using Mann–Whitney U test. A two-tailed P-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: 54.3% of adults with CL/P (23 females and 12 males, age range from 16 to 72 years) reported normal dental anxiety, while the remaining 45.7% reported moderate dental anxiety. No extreme dental anxiety were recorded in the CL/P group. These results were similar to the control group and there were no significant differences between groups (p > 0.05). Female participants recorded higher median anxiety scores than male participants in the CL/P group, and participants with cleft lip had higher median scores than participants with cleft lip and palate. However, these were not statistically significant. Conclusion: The results suggest that CL/P did not affect dental anxiety levels for participants with the CL/P as there were no extreme cases and their results were comparable to a general non-cleft sample. |

Objectives: This study aimed at evaluating oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among adults with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) and compared it with adults with no orofacial cleft. The study also intended to find out the impact of cleft severity, gender, and age on the perceived OHRQoL. Materials and Methods: The study was composed of a sample of 70 adult participants who received and completed dental treatments: 35 participants with CL/P (CL/P group) and 35 participants with no orofacial cleft (control group) agreed to participate. Each participant completed the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-49) with no missing data. The OHIP-49 data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test, and a P-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Adults with CL/P reported higher scores in all the seven subscales of the OHIP-49. These results were statistically significant in physical disability (mean scores of 1.22, p = 0.017) and social disability (mean scores of 0.93, p = 0.046). Females with CL/P recorded better OHRQoL in the handicap domain (p = 0.026). Participants with cleft lip only recorded better OHRQoL compared with those with cleft lip and palate, and that was statistically significant at both the functional limitation (p = 0.003) and the physical pain (p = 0.046). There was a significant positive correlation between increasing age and functional limitation (p = 0.025). Conclusion: CL/P negatively affected OHRQoL for adults with CL/P mainly on physical and social disabilities of OHIP-49 when compared with a general non-cleft sample. |

Aim: In order to improve the understanding of dental fluorosis prevalence in Saudi Arabia and have a good idea of the quality of the studies that have been conducted, a systematic review was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of dental fluorosis among people who live in Saudi Arabia. Methods: Online databases EMBASE and MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library were searched, without any restriction regarding age. In addition, there were no study design filters applied to the search engine. Study selection and data extraction were conducted in duplicate. Studies were included if they were conducted in Saudi Arabia on any population (adults and children) and collected dental fluorosis data. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of the studies. A narrative synthesis was conducted. Results: Seven cross-sectional studies were identified. Areas of weakness in study design/conduct were low response rates, and identification and handling of confounding factors. Statistical pooling of data was not appropriate due to substantial heterogeneity, due in part to variation in sample size, variation of water fluoridation concentration, index used, targeted population and age group. Seven studies present dental fluorosis at any level. The proportion of dental fluorosis prevalence at any level ranged from 0.00 to 0.91. Six studies explored the prevalence of dental fluorosis of aesthetic-only level of concern. The proportion of dental fluorosis in this category ranged from 0.07 to 0.76. |

Aim: Exploring the fathers and schoolteacher’s role in establishing and maintaining primary school children’s oral health behaviours. Methods: Qualitative study; semi-structured interview were utilised method. purposive sampling adopted. Target sample were fathers and teachers of children aged 6 to 7 years in Hail city. Thematic analysis was adopted in this study. Results: Totally of 45 participants; 18 fathers and 27 teachers. Numbers of barriers regarding maintaining good oral health of children were mentioned due to: Saudi life style, routine and cultural norms. Furthermore, shortage of knowledge regarding promoting oral health and asking children to brush their teeth was count. The preventable visit to dentist was not necessary according to participants, as it only required when treatment is request. Teachers agreed about the importance of a school programme and expressed their willingness to be part of it; however, they expressed a lack of their knowledge about promoting it. Conclusion: Hail’s population are keen to keep their children healthy but they don’t know the correct methods. Furthermore, they have some anxiety about doing. Preventive dental visit lack due to past experiences. Social life structures have some effect on oral health practice and sugar consumptions. Teachers are willing to promote oral health. |
