Objective: To assess some habits and practices related to denture wearing among subjects reporting to Watim Teaching Dental Hospital, Rawalpindi. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted at Watim Dental College, Rawalpindi, from December 2018 to August 2019. Using a pre-structured questionnaire, data were collected from 155 subjects having used complete dentures for a minimum of 6-months. The questionnaire consisted of information including the type of dentures, duration and frequency of denture wearing, and denture cleaning habits. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: Out of 155 participants, 80 (51.6%) were male and 75 (48.4%) were females. 89 (57.4%) patients use toothbrushes and soap for denture cleaning. 139 (89.7%) participants didn’t wear dentures while sleeping and soaked them in water. 98 (63.2%) respondents were not using antiseptic oral rinse and were casual in mouth-cleaning. Conclusion: From this study, it is concluded that 65 (41.9%) subjects were cleaning their dentures once a day. The study also reveals that 65 (41.9%) edentulous participants were not able to clean their oral cavity. Dentists should emphasize the importance of recall visits to evaluate the status of denture hygiene along with mucosal surface examination. Patient motivation to follow hygiene instructions and informing them about the harmful effects of overnight wearing of dentures should be part of delivering the prostheses to them.

Geriatric patients need adequate oral health care which can greatly influence their overall general health. A large population of the elderly patients due to poor oral hygiene suffer from periodontal disease and root caries which can lead to edentulousness. The present study analysed the oral hygiene status among geriatric patients visiting dental hospital in an institution. A total of 86000 patient records were reviewed from June 2019 - April 2020. 233 geriatric patients were included in the study. The gender, age and Oral Hygiene Index- Simplified (OHI-S) of the patients were recorded and statistically analysed. The study consisted of 233 patients out of which 66 patients (28.6%) were females and 165 (71.4%) were males. The results showed that 31% of the patients had good oral hygiene, 60% showed fair and 9% of the patients showed poor oral hygiene. 34.6% of the females had good oral hygiene and 57.5% had fair oral hygiene. 30% of the males showed good oral hygiene and 60% had fair oral hygiene. Within the limits of the study, it was evident that most of the geriatric patients had fair oral hygiene status.

Candida albicans (C.albicans) is the main causative agent in oral candidiasis. Candida spp is a commensal microorganism or normal flora in the mouth without causing symptoms. Candida spp can be a pathogen when the body's condition decreases, systemic medical therapy for a long time, nutritional deficiencies and poor oral hygiene. This study aimed to determine the predisposing factors for the causes of oral candidiasis in 10-year-old pediatric patients who came to the Department of Oral Medicine, Dental Hospital of Dentistry Faculty of Jember University. The results of this study indicate a relationship between nutritional deficiencies and poor oral hygiene with oral candidiasis in children. White pseudomembranous plaque lesions are mostly found in the dorsal area of the tongue. Therapy for the patients is by applying nystatin anti-fungal, multivitamins, and education to improve nutrition and oral hygiene.

The Status

Generalized periodontitis is the most common form of periodontal pathology, especially in the second half of life. Nowadays, the problem of periodontal disease is relevant due to its high prevalence, tendency to progression, multifaceted influence on the dentoalveolar system and the whole organism as well as uncertain treatment. Therefore, there is a need to find optimal ways of prevention and treatment of this disease. Close relationships between periodontal pathology and systemic diseases, such as hypertension, which affects every 2nd-3rd adult were determined.The objective of the research was to determine the status of oral cavity hygiene in patients with generalized periodontitis of II degree and stage II hypertension.Materials and methods. The study included 30 patients with generalized periodontitis of II degree and stage II hypertension being treated in the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Clinical Cardiology Dispensary; the average age ranged from 35 to 54 years (the main group). The control group included 10 patients of the same age without generalized periodontitis and somatic pathology .The status of oral cavity hygiene was determined using the Green Vermillion index. The diagnosis of periodontal disease was made on the basis of the classification proposed by M.F. Danilevskyi. The obtained results were subjected to variation-statistical analysis using statistical package “Stat Soft 6.0”; classical methods of variational statistics were applied; mean values and their reliability were evaluated.Results. The results of examination showed poor oral hygiene in almost all patients. The analysis of hygienic indices showed the following results: in patients of the main group, the Green Vermillion index was 1.99 ± 0.13 points (p<0.001) which corresponds to unsatisfactory level of oral hygiene. In patients of the control group, this index was 1.10 ± 0.17 points which corresponds to satisfactory level of oral hygiene. According to the index, 9 (30.0%) patients of the main group had satisfactory oral hygiene, 12 (40.0%) patients had poor oral hygiene, and in 9 (30.0%) patients, poor oral hygiene was observed.In the control group, 2 (20.0%) patients had good oral hygiene, 6 (60.0%) patients had satisfactory oral hygiene and in 2 (20.0%) patients, unsatisfactory oral hygiene was observed. There were no patients with poor oral hygiene. The analysis of the indicators of the Green Vermillion index showed that in case of the pathological process exacerbation the oral hygiene status in patients deteriorated.Conclusions. The level of oral hygiene in patients of both groups was low due to incorrect selection of personal hygiene products or their untimely replacement. In patients with generalized periodontitis of II degree and stage II hypertension, the level of oral hygiene was lower than in somatically healthy persons: the worse status of oral cavity hygiene – the more pronounced changes in the periodontal tissues. We can suppose that high blood pressure affects the status of the oral cavity, creates a higher risk and exacerbates the periodontal diseases.

The article describes the clinical effectiveness of restorations performed by composite materials for the restoration of hard tissues of teeth. Evaluated the status of restorations in children with different levels of oral hygiene. Influence of hygiene on the state of seals in 3,6,12 months. The aim of the study. Clinically assess the quality of restorations of chewing teeth made of composite materials with regard to oral hygiene. Material and methods of investigation. A total of 92 children aged 12-17 years were examined in whom 128 teeth with Cari I defects in Black were reconstructed with composite materials. To repair the defects, composite materials Charisma, Dipol and Esta-3 light curing were used. Results of the study and their discussion. In children with poor oral hygiene, the quality of the seals is deteriorated for all materials compared to children with good and satisfactory oral hygiene. Especially the number of teeth with violation of marginal adaptation, discrepancy of color, discomfort and marginal pigmentation increases. It should be noted that the disruption of the anatomical form of the restorations (6.9%), the appearance of roughness (8.6%), color disturbance (10.6%) and the appearance of pigmentation (17.7%) were detected more often in caries defects, Dipol. With poor oral hygiene, the violation of the anatomical structure of the restorations from the Charisma composite (2.3%) and the Esta-3 material (5.9%) is more often compared with children with good and satisfactory oral hygiene. Conclusions: Thus, the evaluation of the quality of restorations of the chewing group of teeth with composite materials showed that the level of oral hygiene significantly affects the quality of the fillings.
