Educational Initiative for School Nurses and Physical Education Teachers on the Emergency Management of Traumatic Dental Injuries in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
(2017-08)Introduction: Emergency management of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) is an urgent matter crucial for long term prognosis, especially in cases of tooth avulsion. School playgrounds and physical education (PE) classes are ... -
Effect of enamel deproteinization on bonding orthodontic brackets: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2022)Background: Frequent deboning is common during orthodontic treatment. Enamel deproteinization with 5.25% NaOCl or papain has been proposed as one way to increase shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets. Moreover, ... -
Effect of estrus cycle on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement: A systematic review of animal studies
(2020)Background: As estrogen levels affect bone metabolism, the hormonal changes encountered during the estrus cycle may exert an influence on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement. Aim: To systematically investigate ... -
Effect of nicotine exposure on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement: a meta-analysis based on animal studies
(2020)Background: Nicotine exposure has been reported to modify bone metabolism with potential effects on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement. Aim: To systematically investigate and appraise the quality of the available ... -
Effect of Ovariectomy-Induced Menopause on The Rate of Orthodontic Tooth Movement: A Systematic Review of Animal Studies
(2019)Background: The menopause may theoretically affect the biochemical events leading to orthodontic tooth movement. Aim: To systematically investigate and appraise the quality of the available evidence from animal studies ... -
Effect of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) Solution on the Stem Cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth (SHEDs)
(2022)Background: SDF is a solution containing silver, fluoride, and ammonia. Clinically, it is used to arrest the progression of carious lesions in primary teeth. Recent studies have shown that SDF has indirect effect on pulp ... -
Effect of supine and upright positions on airway dimensions in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
(2021)Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of supine vs upright imaging positions on airway dimensions in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Materials and methods: This retrospective study included ... -
Effect of usage and autoclaving on the cyclic fatigue resistance of heat-treated nickel-titanium instrument
(2021)Background: Nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments are often reused in endodontic treatment for economic reasons. Thus, cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of these endodontic instruments are essential. Several studies ... -
The effect of varying concentrations of hydrogen peroxide on bovine enamel and dentine
(2021)Background: Bleaching has become a popular treatment option for aesthetic management of discolored teeth. Bleaching is a conservative approach in aesthetic dentistry compared to other invasive restorative treatment ... -
Effect of Voxel Size on the Accuracy of Airway Volumetric Measurements Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
(2021)Aim: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the airway volume, dental, and skeletal parameters measured digitally on cone beam computed tomography scans (CBCTs) using ... -
Effectiveness of extraction of the primary canines for the interceptive management of palatally displaced permanent canines - a meta-analysis
(2017-01)AIM: Although extraction of primary canines in the mixed dentition has been suggested as a measure to prevent impaction of palatally displaced permanent canines (PDC), the relevant evidence has been inconclusive. The aim ... -
Effectiveness of Orthodontic Procedures, Alternative or Adjunctive To Extraction of the Primary Canines, For Interceptive Management of Palatally Displaced Permanent Canines: A Systematic Review
(2018)Aim: Although Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME), Trans-Palatal Arch (TPA) and Cervical-pull Headgear (HG) have been suggested as interventions in the mixed dentition to increase the rate of normal eruption of the palatally ... -
Effectiveness of Spray Disinfectants on Three dental Impression Materials
(2019-08)Background: The disinfection of dental impressions is fundamental to prevent cross-infection from the dental surgery to the laboratory. Spray rather than immersion disinfectants have recently been introduced to dental ... -
Effects of non-compliant intraoral distalizers on the soft tissue profile, A systematic review
(2021)Background: Practicing orthodontists have special interest in Class II malocclusion cases as they constitute a significant percentage of the cases they treat. Maxillary molar distalization is the most frequently used ... -
The Effects of the Placement of Prefabricated Metal Crowns Utilizing the Hall Technique on Masseter Muscle Activity: A Surface Electromyography Study in Children
(2019-08)Background: Hall technique crowns, used to restore non-pulpal carious primary molars, change the occlusal apparatus temporarily, of which the masseters muscles are part of. Surface-electromyography (sEMG) is used to assess ... -
Enamel Defects and Caries in Preterm Children Aged 5-10 Years in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
(2019-08)Background: Enamel defects are among the most commonly reported dental findings in preterm/low birth weight children. They potentially lead to an increase in caries susceptibility. Aim: To assess the prevalence of ... -
Erosive potential of Drinks Consumed in Dubai
(2019-08)Background: Acid erosion has become a common dental problem. Dietary acid, mainly in the form of drinks, is the main source of extrinsic acid. Although studies have tested drinks for chemical parameters in Europe, no ... -
Erosive potential of drinks consumed in Dubai.
(2021)Background: Most of the consumed soft drinks are acidic in nature, regular consumption of these drinks which contain the main source of extrinsic acid in diet may result in dental erosion. Although studies have tested ... -
