Oral examination included the following parameters: caries, traumatic dental injuries (TDIs), malocclusions, dental wear, and enamel hypocalcification (EH). Additionally, oral hygiene and parafunctional oral habits were assessed by a questionnaire to parents/caregivers. Data were compared using Mann–Whitney U-tests and Chi-square tests.<br /> <br /> Results: Children with ADHD have significantly lower values of deft/DMFT and frequencies of tooth brushing but higher values of parafunctional oral habits (bruxism, nail and object biting, tongue thrusting) and dental wear. No significant differences were found between children, with and without ADHD, in dmft, DMFT, TDIs, prevalence of malocclusion or EH.<br /> <br /> Conclusion: Children with ADHD exhibited a poorer oral health behavior, higher risk for TDIs and malocclusion than non-ADHD children. Hence, there is a need for meticulous preventive dental care for them. Parents/caregivers need instructions for better supervision of oral hygiene to improve the poor oral health of children with or without ADHDhttps://edj.journals.ekb.eg/article_216134_c971c73afc795d1a71d072265e324e73.pdfThe Egyptian Dental Association (EDA)Egyptian Dental Journal0070-948468120220101Evaluation of Gingival Bleeding Among a Group of Children after Using Neem Extract Mouthwash Versus Chlorhexidine Mouthwash: A Randomized Clinical Trial132021646110.21608/edj.2021.97633.1799ENSaraMahmoudAssociate Professor of Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health- Faculty of Dentistry- Cairo University0000-0001-6645-744XSamar SherifMostafaB.D.S, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University, 2007SherifEl TawilProfessor of Pediatric Dentistry & Dental Public Health Faculty, of Dentistry, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt.Journal Article20210923Background: Gingivitis is primarily caused by dental plaque. Several chemical agents have been incorporated into mouthwashes to guard against plaque accumulation and in the management of gingivitis. Neem was introduced as a herbal alternative treatment of gingivitis with few side effects.<br /> Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the gingival bleeding among a group of children suffering from gingivitis after using Neem extract mouthwash versus Chlorhexidine mouthwash.<br /> Participants and Methods: This randomized clinical trial involved 96 children suffering from gingivitis, and aged 8 to 10 years. Children were randomly divided into two equal groups. Group A: used 2% Neem extract mouthwash. Group B: used 0.125% Chlorhexidine mouthwash. Sulcus bleeding index (SBI)was recorded before the intervention and after 21 days. <br /> Results: The mean differences in SBI scores between the two treatment groups were statistically significant (p=0.010) <br /> Conclusion: Neem extract mouthwash had higher efficacy than Chlorhexidine mouthwash in controlling gingival bleeding and in decreasing SBI scores in the study group. Neem mouthwash could be a very good cost-effective alternative to Chlorhexidine mouthwash.https://edj.journals.ekb.eg/article_216461_ed420eb0b637a2132349e69234cf0d0a.pdfThe Egyptian Dental Association (EDA)Egyptian Dental Journal0070-948468120220101Effect of Two Distraction Techniques on Children’s Behaviour, Anxiety and Pain in the Dental Setting212821646210.21608/edj.2021.98689.1810ENAya NaguibAbd El HaleemFaculty of Dentistry Minya UniversityNagwaKhattabProfessor, Paediatric and Community Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams university, Cairo,EgyptAhmadELheenyAssociate Professor, Paediatric and Community Dentistry, Minia University, Minya, Egypt0000000177960198Journal Article20210929Aim: the aim of the current study was to evaluate the influence of using virtual reality (VR) eyeglasses on anxiety and pain perception during pulp therapy treatment in pediatric patients.<br /> Methodology: 60 children, aged 4-6 years who were planned to receive vital pulp therapy (pulpotomy) in the mandibular primary molars were randomly divided into two equal groups (30 child per group); an experimental group (non-pharmacological behavior management and VR were used) and a control group (non-pharmacological behavior management was used).

After surgical placement of 4 custom-made modified surgical miniplates, patients were treated with BAMP protocol. Cone-beam computed tomography was taken after surgical placement of the miniplates (T1) and after 9 months (T2) to investigate treatment changes. Three-dimensional soft tissue measurements were assessed and correlated to the skeletal measurements.<br /> Results: The results showed significant improvement in the soft tissue profile that closely followed the underlying skeletal changes. Forward movement of the upper lip was presented by increase in the linear measurements Ls-E line and Ss-ISP, increase in the H-angle and decrease in the nasolabial angle. No changes were found in the position of the lower lip or in the soft tissue chin. There was an increase in the angle of facial convexity. There was a statistically significant direct correlation between the amount of forward movement of the maxilla and the whole midface together with the forward movement of the upper lip.<br /> Conclusions: BAMP protocol effectively improved the concave soft tissue profile in growing patients with UCLP.https://edj.journals.ekb.eg/article_216464_cdaa8a1a31cf4d08de968a8a3129c742.pdfThe Egyptian Dental Association (EDA)Egyptian Dental Journal0070-948468120220101Clinical & radiographic assessment of the relative efficacy of 1:5 concentration of Buckley’s Formocresol, 5% Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and BiodentineTM in pulpotomies for primary molars: A randomized controlled clinical trial.476221646510.21608/edj.2021.101607.1834ENMohamedElsherbiniAssistant Professor in Pediatric Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Buraidah Private Colleges, Qassim, KSA.

The precipitated fluoride was detected 7 days after the varnish application.<br /> Conclusion: Nanosilver fluoride varnish application on the surface of sound unaffected enamel can be an effective caries preventive measure. Fluoride precipitation on the surface of enamel and its further incorporation in the crystal lattice will lead to the formation of less soluble fluorapatite crystals that are more resistant to the cariogenic bacterial demineralizing acids.https://edj.journals.ekb.eg/article_216466_cb13b1f39d7cc5bb391cd0991538e924.pdfThe Egyptian Dental Association (EDA)Egyptian Dental Journal0070-948468120220101Dental Age Estimation Using an Innovative Equation for Egyptian Adults717621646710.21608/edj.2021.104428.1850ENHossamMahmoudLecturer of Pediatric,Oral health and Preventive Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Tanta University,

Promotion, College of Dentistry, NYU.Journal Article20211109Background: In extraction cases, canine torque is of primary importance. Failure to maintain the root within the cancellous bone predisposes to root resorption and periodontal breakdown. Positive torque in the bracket or wire may prevent the proximity of the root and cortical bone as well the subsequent side effects. <br /> Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the torque control provided by 0.022” Roth prescription brackets during canine retraction with sliding mechanics.<br /> Materials and methods: Twenty-one patients (19.2± 2.7 years) with various malocclusions involving canine retraction were included in the trial. Cone beam computer tomography was acquired before and six months after the start of canine retraction. The change in canine torque was calculated from the pre- and post-retraction 3-dimensional images. Torque was measured for maxillary and mandibular canines as the angle between the canine long axis and the mid-sagittal plane. The paired t-test was used to evaluate the change in torque.<br /> Results: Statistically significant increase in the angle occurred for the maxillary (3.088±5.627°) and mandibular (2.971±5.427°) canines. <br /> Conclusion: Canines could express labial crown inclination during retraction despite the absence of a positive built-in bracket torque.https://edj.journals.ekb.eg/article_216469_f261c38a7b5065a7e633f27c6be46a99.pdfThe Egyptian Dental Association (EDA)Egyptian Dental Journal0070-948468120220101EVALUATION OF HYOID BONE ORIENTATION AFTER ORTHODONTIC CORRECTION OF BIMAXILLARY PROTRUSION939821647010.21608/edj.2021.106856.1874ENShereenMahlawyLecturer of Orthodontic Department, Faculty of Oral & Dental Medicine, Fayoum University.0000-0003-0373-2218Journal Article20211121ABSTRACT<br /> Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of anterior teeth retraction on hyoid bone position in orthodontically treated adults with bimaxillary protrusion.<br /> Materials and Methods: The retrospective data of this study were collected from pre and post treatment lateral cephalograms of twenty Class I bimaxillary protrusive adult female patients with mean age 21.5 years that required extraction of four first premolars and they were treated by preadjusted appliances with maximum anchorage.

Children having white spot lesions were randomly allocated in either the ICON (Group A) or the PROSEAL (Group B). The assigned material was then applied to the lesions and the color change was measured immediately (A1) and on follow-up intervals of 3 (A2) and 6 months (A3), using digital photographic assessment. <br /> Results: The color difference (ΔE) of WSLs in (group A) showed a significant difference between the pretreatment measurement and all the subsequent measurements. However the ΔE wasn’t significantly different between (A1) and (A 2) or (A3). Conversely, different follow-up intervals in (group B) were found to be significantly different from each other. Color assessment after 6 months showed that (group A) had a higher percentage of completely masked lesions compared to (group B), however the difference between the two groups wasn’t statistically significant.<br /> Conclusions: Both ICON and PROSEAL were successful in masking of WSLs in primary teeth. ICON infiltrant, however showed immediate masking effect. On the other hand, PROSEAL displayed slow progressive improvement in the appearance of WSLs, and it achieved a proper masking effect in 6 months.https://edj.journals.ekb.eg/article_216471_9bb663df69e8d8c4a68e4e9d8b366780.pdf
