Abstract Objectives Information was collected to identify anxiety in dental patients visiting a dental clinic using the Dental Anxiety Scale, their level of psychological distress using the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 and identifying a correlation between these groups as well as the gender and age. Data description This data contains a set of 1550 patients’ answers to questionnaires taken before dental treatment in a dental clinic. It is divided into male and female patients as well as according to their age. The level of Dental Anxiety can be interpreted by answers chosen in the Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) and the level of psychological distress by answers chosen in the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18). This dataset should help to encourage more research in the field of dental anxiety and we hope to see more comparisons with our data in the future or in different regions of the world.

Good denture hygiene is crucial for the prevention of various periodontal diseases, dental caries and dental stomatitis, which can give rise to a negative impact on the general health of denture users. A comparison exercise was conducted, to determine the effectiveness of information on denture care, provided by different groups of dental personnel. A self-administered and structured questionnaire was distributed to patients who attended Hospital USM’s dental clinics, from 2014 to 2019 based on the attendance register of the clinic. The denture hygiene status of 100 participants was assessed during the interview session. The results derived through the questionnaire revealed that 100% of the respondents, who received both verbal and written instructions, practiced good dental hygiene. It was observed that the most effective instructions received by the respondents were delivered by the dental specialists. Respondents, who clean their dentures with denture cleaning tablets, soap, or denture cleaning paste, were observed to possess better denture hygiene than those who do not. Also, respondents who visit their dentists once every six months for routine dental examinations boasted a higher percentage of good denture hygiene (81.8%). A positive association was perceived, between knowledge and the status of denture hygiene.

The aim: To study the content of trace elements (cadmium and zinc) in the blood and oral fluid in people with generalized periodontitis and work and live permanently in adverse environmental conditions. Materials and methods: In order to study the prevalence of periodontal diseases in adults living in areas with high level of soil contamination with heavy metal salts and working in the workplace with occupational hazards, there were studied 163 people who did not have somatic diseases, namely: 133 employees of Burshtyn Thermal Power Plant (TPP) and 30 persons who do not work at Burshtyn TPP. Results: The results of biochemical examination of blood and oral fluid in persons with generalized periodontitis of the I, II degree of severity and being exposed to adverse environmental factors, show changes in the trace element spectrum of blood and oral fluid, namely: a decrease in amount of zinc and an increase in amount of cadmium, which may indicate the disorder of microelement metabolism under conditions of chronic influence of small doses of salts of heavy metals. Conclusions: As a result of the performed study, a violation of micronutrient metabolism in biological fluids (blood and oral fluid) was found in persons exposed to adverse environmental factors.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of dental anxiety among patients visiting dental clinics in Al-Qassim region of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods: The 377 participants were selected from three major cities of Al-Qassim region - Buridah, Onizah, and Alrass. A self-administered questionnaire based on Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) was used to gather the responses of the participants. The questionnaires were handed to respondents during their regular visits to the dental clinics. Results: The findings of the study revealed that 18% of the sample population suffer from severe dental anxiety. The analysis showed that feelings associated with anesthetic injection are the most-anxiety provoking factor while the next day visit is the least anxiety-provoking item. The findings show that female participants (M = 3.1, p = .001) significantly manifest more dental anxiety than their male counterparts (M = 2.8, p = .001). The younger participants demonstrate higher dental anxiety than other age groups. Conclusion: The dental anxiety exists in the sample population. Gender and age are associated with varying MDAS scores.

The Impact

Introduction: Periodontal diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms that induce increases in of local and systemic proinflammatory cytokines, resulting in periodontal damage. The onset and evolution of periodontal diseases are influenced by many local and systemic risk factors. Educational objective: In this article, we aim to review the results of the research on the impact of chronic stress on the occurrence, development, and response to periodontal disease treatments and on the pathophysiological mechanisms of periodontal disease. Conclusion: Chronic stress has a negative impact on the occurrence, development, and response to the treatment of periodontal disease via indirect actions on the periodontium. This can result from behavioral changes caused by stress (poor dental hygiene, smoking, etc.) and a direct neuroimmunoendocrinological action related to the consequences (particularly immunological) of the secretion of certain chemicals (e.g., cortisol) induced by the activation of the hypothalamus and the autonomic nervous system in response to stress. These factors necessitate multidisciplinary management (e.g., physician, oral surgeon, and psychologist) of patients to identify subjects with chronic stress and to employ countermeasures to decrease the impact of stress on the periodontium.

The aim of the program was to study the tolerability of Tigerase® in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) of all ages in rutine clinical practice. Study design: retrospective open uncontrolled comparative multicenter solid. Materials and methods of research: retrospective data of clinical observations were collected from medical records of patients with CF on the use of Tigerase®. Results: therapy with Tigerase® was well tolerated by 668 (93,4%) of 715 patients included in the study. In 47 (6,6%) patients, 127 adverse reactions (ADRs) associated with the use of Tigerase® were recorded. ADRs from the respiratory system were the most common. Of these, 24 (3,4%) were coughing and 10 (1,4%) had increased viscosity of bronchial secretion. Among all patients included in the study, the proportion of patients in whom ADRs were registered based on clinical manifestations (3,9%) did not differ statistically significantly from the proportion of patients in whom ADRs were recorded based on complaints only (2,8%) (p=0,30). The distribution of ADRs by the source of registration and place of residence of patients did not depend on their gender and age. Registration of ADRs in different regions of the country differed statistically significantly both in frequency and in the source of detection (p<0,001). ADRs were not recorded in several regions, and the largest number of ADRs were registered in patients living in Moscow, and most of them were based only on patient complaints. 22 patients (47% of the number of patients with ADR) had medical commissions for ADR, and only in 8 (17% of the number of patients with ADR) of them had expertise of specialists with experience in the treatment of patients with CF. In 29 patients (62% of the number of patients with ADR), the development of ADR did not require cessation of the Tigerase® therapy. Conclusion: in the majority of CF patients (93,4%) tolerated the Tigerase® therapy well.

 Currently the world is facing a pandemic disease, namely Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As finding recent drugs targeting COVID-19 will take a long time, so repositioning currently existing FDA approved drugs for treating this disastrous disease is an acceptable solution. It has been found that for SARS-CoV-2 to be infective, this necessitates splitting of the viral spike glycoproteins by the serine protease “type II transmembrane serine protease TMPRSS2” that has shown to be widely expressed in pulmonary tissues. Thus, TMPRSS2 is suggested to be potential target for antiviral drug design against COVID-19.  The mucokinetic drug “Ambroxol” has been reported as a potent inhibitor of TMPRSS2, thus it could represent a therapeutic as well as a prophylactic candidate against SARS-CoV2. This review gives a brief summary about ambroxol’s potential role against COVID-19’s TMPRSS2.                            Peer Review History: Received 8 January 2021; Revised 5 February; Accepted 25 February, Available online 15 March 2021 UJPR follows the most transparent and toughest ‘Advanced OPEN peer review’ system. The identity of the authors and, reviewers will be known to each other.

New Criteria

Preservation of periodontal health after periodontal therapy is paramount for the complete elimination of periodontal diseases. In most of the Dental Schools, recall appointments are considerably low, and in particular, to the Department of Periodontics, the compliance to recall visits by the patients diagnosed with periodontal disease is still inadequate. Faculty from the Department of Periodontics framed new criteria to follow in the comprehensive clinics by the postgraduate students. The criteria include communication, intraoral examination skills, and professionalism toward dental patients. Faculty in each comprehensive dental clinic observed the clinical encounters of postgraduate students with patients and provided the feedback. The study conducted from May 2018 to April 2019, and the patients attended were 1164 of 1544. Unattended patients were 380 of 1544. Effective evaluation of the feedback provided by faculty and communication with both the postgraduate students and unattended patients resulted in further improvement in recall, that is, 151 of 380 patients. Reframed criteria, direct observation of the postgraduate students by faculty during patients interaction, assessment of feedback forms, and immediately modifying the student’s way of communication allowed maximum recall visits to the Department of Periodontics.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />Objective: To isolate and identify aerobic microbes present in the periodontal infected patients and to evaluate the choice of antibiotics in the<br />management of periodontal diseases.<br />Methods: In this study, these patients have not been treated previously for their conditions. An informed consent was obtained from these patients<br />before collection of an oral swab. This study was approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee. The details of the patient’s age, sex, and clinical<br />details were recorded on a per forma meant for this study. The following methodologies were adopted for the isolation and identification of the microorganisms<br />from<br />these cases.<br />Results: In this study out of 50 oral samples, culture positivity was recorded in 43 (86%) cases and no growth in 7 (14%) cases. Antibiotic susceptibility<br />test using to identified as resistant, sensitive, intermediate of pathogenicity of oral microbes. Such antibiotics were methicillin, ceftazidime,<br />clindamycin, amikacin, cloxacillin, and cefotaxime. This study should be kept in mind when a local application of antibacterial compounds is used in<br />the therapy of periodontal disease.<br />Conclusion: This study highlights the different organisms involved in the different types of dental infections. The antibiotic pattern shown in this work<br />will be a guide to the clinician in the selection of proper antibiotics for the treatment of these infections. Hence in this study, the limitations were time<br />and the number of patients. For better outcomes, a larger study population for a longer period of time should be undertaken to know the bacteriology<br />and to the select the effective drugs of choice for dental infections. A comparative study of bacteriology and mycology and its antimicrobial property<br />would be very fruitful in the future.<br />Keywords: Dental, Periodontal, Bacteria, Antibiotics.</p>

Fungi can cause various diseases, and some pathogenic fungi have been detected in the water of dental equipment. This environment offers suitable conditions for fungal biofilms to emerge, which can facilitate mycological contamination. This study verified whether the water employed in the dental units of two dental clinics at the University of Franca was contaminated with fungi. This study also evaluated the ability of the detected fungi to form biofilms. The high-revving engine contained the largest average amount of fungi, 14.93 ± 18.18 CFU/mL. The main fungal species verified in this equipment belonged to the generaAspergillusspp.,Fusariumspp.,Candidaspp., andRhodotorulaspp. Among the isolated filamentous fungi, only one fungus of the genusFusariumspp. did not form biofilms. As for yeasts, all theCandidaspp. isolates grew as biofilm, but none of theRhodotorulaspp. isolates demonstrated this ability. Given that professionals and patients are often exposed to water and aerosols generated by the dental procedure, the several fungal species detected herein represent a potential risk especially to immunocompromised patients undergoing dental treatment. Therefore, frequent microbiological monitoring of the water employed in dental equipment is crucial to reduce the presence of contaminants.
