Background: Dental caries is one of the most common dental diseases that affect all population and is associated with the avoidance of care. Research has reported that sense of coherence (SOC) is related to many aspects of health including oral health. SOC determines the quality of health and might have a direct association with the development of subjective assessments of oral health. Objectives: To find the association between SOC, Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and caries status among nursing college students in southern state of India. Design: Cross-sectional design using questionnaire and assessment of caries status. Participants: Nursing students from south India. Methods: Convenience sampling method was followed and students who were present on the day of the study and consented to participate were included in the study. The total study sample consisted of 494 nursing students. SOC and OHRQoL were measured by a self-administered questionnaire; caries status was assessed using Decayed, Missing and Filled Tooth (DMFT) index. Results: Association between SOC and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) and caries status and OHIP was found to be statistically significant. Correlation between dental caries and OHIP was found to be statistically significant, with R-value –0.251 shows that OHIP is negatively correlated with caries status. Conclusion: SOC as a psychosocial resource is capable of facilitating the motivation for positive oral health behaviours. These resources along with socio-economic and demographic factors can create an environment that is partially responsible for the individuals' cognitive and physical functions that can express themselves as the individuals' well-being and positive health behaviours.

Physicians are often faced with the fact that the duration of anesthesia varies in different patients, which significantly complicates the process of surgical intervention and may confront the surgeon with an unforeseen situation. Recently, publications have appeared in the literature on the effects of various, including exotic products on anesthesia. There are also many conflicting statements about the effect of camel milk (CM) on the duration of anesthesia. Some data show that CM prolongs anesthesia, while other scientists argue the exact opposite: CM shortens the effect of the anesthetic. We decided to shed light on these studies by analyzing the effect of CM consumption on the effectiveness of local anesthesia in different patients. This article highlights the significant changes that occur in anesthesia due to the patients' diet. To achieve the set goal, we sort the twenty patients underwent local anesthesia into groups depending on the habit of using CM. The first, control, group consisted of practically healthy patients who did not use CM throughout their lives, and the second group had the habit of regularly taking CM. In both groups, local anesthesia was first performed without pre-drink CM. For the second time, participants in the control and experimental groups were asked to drink CM before the anesthesia procedure. Both in the control and experimental groups, patients drank CM one hour before local anesthesia. A significant correlation was found between the use of CM and the duration of anesthesia in both groups.

Background: Implant placement using a conventional surgical guide and digital surgical guide techniques is well documented in the literature. The most frequently reported disadvantages of conventional surgical guide placement are lack of accuracy in implant placement when compared to three-dimensional assessment in digital technique. Other factors listed are longer time duration and the need for impression techniques. In this case report, the authors present a comparison between the two techniques and the time taken between both cases one done conventionally and another case by digital technique. Case Presentation: For the digital surgical guide, a 44-year-old, male reported with the chief complaint of missing teeth needing replacement was considered. For the conventional technique, a female patient aged fifty-seven who had gone through various dentists with an existing bridge was considered. This patient wanted a good outcome at a reasonable cost. In both cases, molars were missing and needed replacement. The steps for digital flow for a surgical guide and step-by-step conventional methods are both highlighted in this article. Conclusion: Hence the digital technique saved time and was accurate when compared to the conventional in our experience.

Dental practitioners must be well informed about the pathology, complications and treatment options associated with bleeding disorders patients. Prolongation of bleeding time can seriously complicate the patient's condition during and after surgery, especially if there is iron deficiency anemia or any other condition accompanied by a decrease in hematopoiesis. For this reason, the dentist surgeon must be aware about the presence of such diseases in advance, in order to prevent the development of bleeding and its undesirable consequences promptly. Blood loss becomes apparent when blood exits through a natural opening in the body, for instance the nose & mouth. In this article, common medical bleeding situations with the potential to compromise the successful outcome of dental surgical procedures have been presented. Bleeding disorders is a disease group, which can be classified as deficiencies of coagulation factors, platelet disorders, vascular disorders, fibrinolytic defects and so on. Fragile blood vessels can cause bleeding, petechiae, bruising, etc. In most cases, vascular disease does not cause serious blood loss, with the exception of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. In this paper, we discuss the most common hereditary diseases associated with a deficiency of plasma coagulation factors VIII and IX, the disease of platelet deficiency (Glansman disease), the prophylaxis of bleeding in this kind of patients, and the effect of drugs on coagulation processes as well.

Background: Purpose: To clarify if there are any problems that are faced by the dentists and the parents regarding the dental procedures and the oral health care in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Du-bai Health Authority and Dubai Autism Center. Methods: There were 86 questionnaires distributed to parents of autism children, and 73 questionnaires were distributed to dentists, a total of 25 questionnaires were collected from parents of autism children with a response rate of 29.07% and a response rate of 52.05% with a total of 38 questionnaires were collected from dentists, the study took place in the Public health Centres in Dubai Health Authority and Dubai Autism Center, Dubai, United Arab of Emirates. Results: Approximately 40% of the children of autism did not visit the dentist at all, and 35% of the child's oral health care was fair. 72% of the parents didn't know the autism type of their children whereas that 56% pf the parents were having a high school certificate and 12% are having an academic degree. More than half of parents described their children's condition as moderate and 64% of their children are not receiving any therapies in treating Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). As per the results it was mentioned that the main parent's barrier that made the dental procedure hard to be performed is the difficulty in finding a dentist who understands the child case and professional in treating autism spectrum disorder. According to the dentist's response it was noticed that almost all of the dentist agreed that they don't have enough knowledge in treating children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with percentage of 82%. Conclusion: Awareness should be provided for parents in dealing with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) lack of knowledge about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as per the response of the parents of autism children in Dubai Autism Center. There a clear lack of dental knowledge and experience regarding treating autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among the participant group of the dentists of Public Health Centres in Dubai Health Authority.
