“…Es universalmente aceptado que la condición de salud oral se relaciona con el nivel socioeconómico y a los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas acerca de la salud oral (Sreenivasan, Prasad y Javali, 2016). Zarabadipour et al (2022), reportan mejores valores de placa dental en escolares mujeres que en varones, asimismo, evidenciaron que el índice de placa dental fue estadísticamente diferente antes y después del entrenamiento sobre técnica de cepillado en una población de escolares. En la misma línea, Ramezaninia et al (2018) reportan sobresalientes valores de índice de placa en escolares mujeres que en varones de 12 años y encuentran una significativa reducción en los valores del índice entre las 24 h y los 2 meses después de aplicada una instrucción educativa sobre cepillado dental, evidenciando que no existen diferencias entre las técnicas educativas aplicadas como charlas, video o folletos.…”

The importance of tooth brushing in oral health is evident, since doing it incorrectly can lead to diseases such as cavities and gingivitis, especially in the school population. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding tooth brushing and bacterial plaque levels in 12-year-old schoolchildren from the Trujillo-Peru district, before and after implementing an educational strategy. A descriptive and correlational study was carried out with the participation of 247 schoolchildren of both genders. A survey on tooth brushing was administered, and levels of bacterial plaque were measured using the Green and Vermillon Oral Hygiene Index before and after the educational strategy on brushing technique. The results revealed that knowledge about tooth brushing in schoolchildren was poor before the educational strategy, improving significantly after implementing it. Attitudes and practices also showed substantial improvements, going from low levels to regular and good. It is concluded that the educational strategy managed to improve the knowledge, attitudes and practices related to tooth brushing in schoolchildren, evidencing a positive impact on the reduction of dental plaque, improving the oral health of the participants.

A 45‐year‐old female patient was referred to the Department of Cosmetic Dentistry, Damascus University, seeking to improve dental aesthetics. The clinical examination showed a low smile line and microdontia in the maxillary arch. The treatment plan consisted of applying no‐prep veneers with gingival modification, which is described in the biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT) as a gingitage technique. The gingitage of the sulcus was performed using a yellow ring diamond flame with an inclination of 45 degrees, which causes it to bleed and creates a space between the internal wall of the sulcus and the axial wall of the tooth. After a 12‐month follow‐up, the gingiva was free of inflammation, recession, and plaque, and there was no increase in probing depth, according to the modified gingival index (MGI), gingival recession index (GRI), Silness‐Loe plaque index (PI), and the community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN), respectively. The porcelain veneers were intact, with no chippings, cracks, and marginal discoloration. The patient was satisfied with her new smile.

BackgroundPeriodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease potentially associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has shown substantial effect on weight loss and treatment of T2D. However, there is no direct evidence comparing the impact of SG on the periodontal status of patients with and without T2D.ObjectivesTo determine the impact of SG on the periodontal status of patients with and without T2D in a real-world setting.MethodsIn a prospective and two-armed cohort design, participants who were scheduled for SG at an affiliated hospital between April 2022 and December 2022 were approached for eligibility. After a clinical evaluation and oral examination, those with periodontitis were included and further divided into the DM group (diabetic) and the Control group (non-diabetic) with a 1-year follow-up after surgery. The primary outcome was the periodontal status of patients at 12 months after SG. The secondary outcomes included weight loss, diabetes remission, and alterations in inflammatory markers for up to 1 year after SG.ResultsFifty-seven and 49 patients were included in the DM and the Control group, respectively. Before surgery, patients in the DM group had further worsened periodontal condition compared with those in the Control group. Accompanied by weight loss and glucose reduction, patients in both groups demonstrated significant decreases in plaque index (PLI) and bleeding index (BI) with no alterations in probing depth or clinical attachment loss for up to 1 year after SG. Even patients in the DM group achieved less TWL% (32.79 ± 6.20% vs. 37.95 ± 8.34, P<0.01), their periodontal condition had more substantial improvement with no significant difference in PLI and BI between groups at 1 year after SG. We also observed a significant reduction in the levels of high sensitive C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 in both groups at 1 year after SG.ConclusionBoth patients with and without T2D demonstrated improved periodontal status for up to 1 year after SG. Patients with T2D achieved less weight loss but a more substantial improvement in periodontal condition. The significant reduction in inflammatory biomarkers contributed to the improvement of periodontal status after SG.
