“…The lack of time and manpower was reflected by the respondents to be the most common barriers for their performance of oral care practice, which are consistent with the results of previous studies [ 11 , 25 , 27 , 34 , 35 ]. Furthermore, patients’ behaviour was another common barrier to oral care performance.…”

Investigating the oral care delivered by nursing staff in acute hospital setting is having a remarkable shortage within the current literature. This was provoked due to lack of previous performed investigation in the acute hospital setting besides inconsistent existence of a standardized and comprehensive oral care knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) instrumentation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess the oral care KAP level for inpatients among nursing staff; to identify possible barriers to the provision of oral care; and to identify training preferences to improve the oral care of inpatients, in acute hospital settings in Hong Kong; and to provide standardized comprehensive KAP based assessment tool that would benefit and guide other future studies. In this study, a cross-sectional survey was conducted after a 55-item self-administered structured questionnaire was developed. A modified KAP tool was developed. The tool includes 4 domains: oral care knowledge, attitude, practice, and experience. Nursing staff was recruited from July 2018 to April 2019 via convenience sampling. Either online or printed questionnaires were completed. Proportions of nursing staff with good KAP, as defined by having 60% of the total score in the respective domain, were estimated with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Analysis of covariance was used to compare the mean scores of KAP among different independent variables and identify the factors associated with good KAP. 404 nursing staff were recruited. Approximately 29.5%, 33.7% and 14.9% of the respondents had good oral care knowledge, attitude and practice, respectively, and 53.2% of the respondents had unpleasant oral care experience. Better oral care practice was associated with higher levels of oral care knowledge (β = 0.1) and oral care attitude (β = 0.3). To conclude: nursing staff in acute hospital settings reported low levels of oral care KAP with variations between the RN, EN and HCA. This study adds to the literature the association between oral care unpleasant experiences and the oral care practice, as well as oral care knowledge and attitude which also in turns associated with practice. The developed standardised tool could be applied for future studies. Recommendations on the future research, training and practices were made.

“…Cherubism is categorized by the World Health Organization as a kind of nonneoplastic bone lesion that affects the maxilla and the mandible [ 1 ]. Known to be a benign, infrequent condition with autosomal dominant inheritance, it is one of the very rare human osteoclastic lesions that is dictated by genetics.…”

“…Ongole et al in 2003 reported a case of siblings of a girl and a boy with slowly growing bilateral swelling of the jaws with panaromic finding of bilateral radiolucencies extending over the body and ramus of the mandible; however, the condyles were unaffected and the diagnosis of the case was given as cherubism [ 1 ]. Muthuraman et al in 2014 described a rare hereditary case of cherubism which was conservatively treated [ 5 ].…”

“…The mandibular and maxillary bones are the only body parts affected by this uncommon, hereditary autosomal dominant condition. Because of the patients' angelic features (chubbiness and an upward gaze), cherubism got its name, according to Jones (1933) [ 1 ]. It is widely believed to be a benign, genetic bone condition that starts at two or three years old, progresses throughout childhood, peaks around age five, and then spontaneously regresses toward the end of puberty.…”

Cherubism is an uncommon, multilocular cystic condition of the jaws. This autosomal dominant, nonneoplastic, fibro-osseous condition of the jaws affects children and is self-limiting. Clinically, it shows up as an expansion or distortion of the jaw together with an unnatural teeth alignment. In their most severe forms, these deformations might cause phonation difficulties, decreased pharynx lumen, visual issues, and psychological effects. This case report describes a case report of two siblings involving the maxilla and the mandible presenting with a painless bilateral symmetrical enlargement. Cherubism is a hereditary condition characterized by nonneoplastic bone lesions that damage the jaws. Surgery should be used to resolve any functional or aesthetically problematic issues. Typically, the surgical procedure is postponed until after puberty.
