Article Abstract
. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of 3 interventions-skit video, pictorial, and sign language-in improving the oral hygiene of children with hearing impairment. . Sixty children randomly divided into 3 groups: Skit video, Pictorial, and Sign language. The mean gingival and Oral Hygiene Index scores were recorded before and after interventions. A 1-way ANOVA was used for statistically significant difference between pre and post intervention scores. . A significant difference in mean oral hygiene and gingival index scores before and after interventions was found in Group A ( < .005). A statistically significant difference was also found between group A and B in inter group comparison of OHI and GI scores post intervention ( < .004). . Skit video and pictorial intervention effectively improves oral health resulting in reduced mean oral hygiene and gingival scores.

The Effect of 6-Week Advanced Oral Care on Oral Microbiome and Mycobiome Composition in People With Dementia Living in Residential Aged Care.

Objectives: Oral health is an important aspect of quality of life for older people, especially those with dementia. The impact of an active oral hygiene program on the oral microbiome was explored in a group of older participants (average age 84 years old) with dementia against a separate control group whose oral hygiene followed the status quo.
Materials And Methods: The oral cavity bacteriomes and mycobiomes were assessed from swabs of cheek, gum, and tongue surfaces.

This study aimed to identify the prevalence of dental caries in children and the impact of associated risk factors. This cross-sectional study was performed on children attending the dental clinic at King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry criteria were used for the diagnosis of early childhood caries.

Background Plaque accumulation can lead to dental caries and periodontal disease and may reflect overall oral health status. As mothers are often the primary caregivers for children's oral hygiene, plaque in children may also serve as a proxy for caregiving quality. This study examined whether maternal emotional states are associated with the quality of caregiving, using children's plaque accumulation as a proxy indicator.

Premastication, or pre-chewing, of food as a feeding practice for infants has been practiced across cultures as an ancient evolutionary method. Whilst literature on the topic remains slim, the majority of existing research has highlighted the potential risks, such as transmission of infections. Although the concerns are valid, potential beneficial aspects have, until now, received less attention.

Aim: Prickle planar cell polarity (PCP) protein 2 (Prickle2) encodes a homologue of Drosophila prickle and is involved in the non-canonical Wnt/PCP signalling pathway. However, its exact role in dentinogenesis remains unclear. Dentinogenesis, a key process in tooth morphogenesis, involves the patterned arrangement of odontoblasts and the formation of dentine matrix along the pulp cavity.
