Despite free health care services in Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of caries in children is substantially greater in comparison to other high-income countries. Dental fear in children may be an important issue that needs attention. Therefore, the aim was to investigate the role of dental fear in predicting untreated dental caries in schoolchildren. This analytical cross-sectional study included children aged 8–10 years residing in Saudi Arabia. Dental status via oral examinations was surveyed with the WHO standardized chart and the Children Fear Survey Schedule—Dental Subscale was used to score dental fear. Descriptive, binary, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to report the findings at 5% statistical significance. Overall, there were 798 schoolchildren with an average fear score of 36. Nearly 70.4% reported fear of someone examining their mouth. About 76.9% had at least one carious tooth in their oral cavity. Children with dental fear were 1.8 times (OR = 1.80; 95%CI = 1.26, 2.56) more likely to have at least one untreated carious tooth in their oral cavity than those who did not express fear during oral examinations and dental procedures. Thus, the current study concludes that fear of dentists and dental treatment procedures successfully predicts untreated carious teeth in schoolchildren.

Objective. To assess the effectiveness of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to improve knowledge regarding oral hygiene practices among cooperative autistic children. Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 15 children between the age group of 6–12 years and their parents who were randomly chosen from a special care autistic school in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. A mobile application was custom designed and programmed with videos on oral hygiene. A close-ended questionnaire comprising 14 questions for the cooperative autistic children and 21 questions for their parents was designed to assess their knowledge in relation to oral health and hygiene. After four weeks, a questionnaire-based knowledge assessment was conducted. The mean knowledge score was then calculated for children and their parents and compared using paired sample t-test. Results. Poor knowledge regarding oral hygiene practices was revealed among the study participants. The estimated mean score among the children was 4.73 before the intervention, which significantly increased to 9.0. The estimated mean score for the parents was 9.3 before intervention and 14.6 after four weeks’ period ( P < 0.0001 ). Conclusion. The application of ABA using avatars and delivered through videos can significantly improve knowledge regarding oral health hygiene among cooperative autistic children.

Background: A large fraction of the world’s illness and death is attributable to communicable diseases. This is especially notable in developing countries where acute respiratory and intestinal infections are the primary causes of morbidity and mortality among young children. Objective of the study was to assess the basic hygiene practices among primary school children in urban field practice area, BMC&RI.Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out during September and October 2016 on a total of 125 school children to assess the level of basic hygiene practices in Urban field practice area, BMCRI. A Random sampling technique was used and pre tested and semi structured questionnaire was read out to the participants during face to face interview and sufficient time was given to the subjects to respond, without probing the answer.Results: Among 125 students, 54% were female and 46% were male.53.6% students take bath on alternate days, 88% students wash their feet daily, and 76% students change their cloth daily.75.2% students had h/o head lice and 57.6% students had h/o dental caries.Conclusions: Out of 125, 56.8% of students have excellent hygiene, 42.4% of students have very good hygiene and 0.8% students have good hygiene.
