“…Gingivitis is common, particularly around puberty. (19) In the present study, Gingivitis was present among 31% of the studied students, which is lower than that reported in other studies capturing students of the same age group. Gingivitis was detected among 58.3% of Jordanian public school students.…”

Background & Objective(s):There is limited published data on Egyptian oral epidemiologic health status especially among adolescents. This study aimed to evaluate oral health status and their associated variables among secondary school students in Assiut Governorate; Upper Egypt. Methods: : A cross sectional study was conducted on 872 students using a representative sample from public, private and technical secondary schools. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire including inquires about sociodemographic data, oral health behaviors and selfperception of oral health. Oral health was assessed by Decayed Missing Filled Teeth index (DMFT), Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S), and Basic Periodontal Examination index (BPE). Results: Prevalence of oral health diseases was as follow; dental caries was 47.5%, gingivitis was 31%, while periodontitis was 15.7%. About 80% of the students owned a toothbrush; however 25% of them never perform teeth brushing. Unfavorable OHI-S score was significantly positively correlated with worse DMFT and BPE scores. Concurrently, BPE index was significantly positively correlated with DMFT index. Females had higher risk for unfavorable DMFT scores compared to males. Increased age, female gender, enrollment in technical schools, and bad/ unknown selfperception of oral health were significant predictors of worse periodontal scores. The significant predictors of worse oral hygienic scores were increased age, enrollment in technical schools, and bad/ unknown self-perception of oral health. Conclusion: Considerable proportions of students suffered from oral health disorders. Unfavorable oral health indices were related to female gender, technical school enrollment, increasing age and bad/unknown self-perception of oral health. Oral health indices are compatible with each other; where healthier oral hygiene condition is correlated with better dental and periodontal oral health statuses. Superior periodontal status is correlated with favorable dental condition.

“…Since ALP is also synthesized by other tissues of the body, a dose-related rise in ALP activity may not be due to liver damage. 26,27 This result is supported by the histological assessment of the liver tissue where no obstructive jaundice and intrahepatic cholestasis as a consequence of a high level of ALP was observed. It has been reported that lipids play a key part in the pathological changes associated with disease conditions 28 A rise in triglyceride has been associated as a risk factor for atherosclerosis and shows the presence of hyper-lipidemic agent; this was observed in groups administered 40 and 60 ml/kg, HDLcholesterol levels showing the presence of an anti-atherogenic agent in all the experimental animals treated with the herbal formulation suggesting that cardiovascular risk factors that contribute to the death of rats were present.…”

The use of medicinal plants in the management of different ailments is because of their phytochemical constituents and goes back to antiquity. 1 Usage of herbal medicines can be traced back as far as 2100B.C.in ancient China (Xia Dynasty) and India (Vedic period). The first reports go back to 600 B.C. with the Caraka Samhita of India and the early notes of the Eastern Zhou dynasty of China that pushed toward turning out systematized around 400B.C. The use of herbs as a medication is the most seasoned form of healthcare known to humanity and has been used in all societies from the beginning of time. 2 Herbal products cannot be discounted as "natural" and subsequently, nontoxic components, as many consumers believe. Although selected products may have remedially valuable effects, many cause adverse effects 3 and drug interactions similar to those accomplished with conventional agents. 4 It is however a known fact that over 80% of the total populace depends on herbal medicines and products for healthy living. 5 This rise in the use of herbal products has also given rise to various forms of misuse and adulteration of the products leading to consumers' and manufacturers' mistakes and in some instances deadly outcomes. The challenge is boundless and monumental, making the global herbal market unsafe to be used in the region if there is sufficient knowledge about their safety and viability.

“…Compromised general health can cause damage to the immune system and the appearance of severe forms of periodontal disease at young ages. Gingival diseases are common in children and young people and, in the absence of appropriate treatment, they can evolve into forms of deep periodontal damage of the marginal periodontium [ 8 , 9 ].…”

It is well known that bacterial plaque is the main etiological factor that causes the appearance of periodontal diseases and carious disease. Periodontal diseases can affect children and adolescents and are manifested in the form of gingivitis, but also the early form of chronic periodontitis as well as aggressive marginal periodontitis associated with local or general factors. Early periodontitis is frequently undiagnosed by clinicians due to a lack of knowledge of the specific symptoms. Certain systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, can create favorable conditions for the appearance and progression of severe manifestations of periodontal disease; also, recent research highlights that individuals with periodontal disease present an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Children with congenital or acquired cardiovascular diseases are at increased risk for complications resulting from the growth of microorganisms in the oral cavity, presenting a risk of infective endocarditis. The specific aim was to highlight the existing differences between the periodontal health of children with cardiovascular diseases and that of children without these diseases. The analyzed group included 124 patients, represented by children and adolescents, aged between 7 and 17 years, who were divided into four subgroups depending on the presence or absence of cardiovascular diseases and periodontal disease. A specialized clinical examination was performed for each patient, and periodontal clinical parameters were quantified (plaque index, gingival bleeding index, gingival index, community periodontal index of treatment needs) and associated with the diagnosis of general condition. Patients diagnosed with periodontal disease underwent specialized treatment and were called to a control visit 3 months after treatment. Statistical analysis showed significant differences between subgroups with much higher values of clinical parameters for patients with cardiovascular disease. Also, the response to the treatment was better in the case of patients in the control subgroup without cardiovascular diseases. The present study highlighted the interaction of three factors in the progression of periodontal diseases: subgingival microbiota, immune system response and environmental factors.
