Dental arch dimensions, form and tooth size ratio among a Saudi sample
(2018)Objectives: To determine the dental arch dimensions and arch forms in a sample of Saudi orthodontic patients, to investigate the prevalence of Bolton anterior and overall tooth size discrepancies, and to compare the ... -
Preliminary Performance of the Advanced Dental Admission Test (ADAT): Association Between ADAT Scores and Other Variables for Applicants to Residency Programs at a U.S. Dental School
(2018)Abstract: Historically, dental residency programs have used numerical assessment criteria to evaluate and identify qualified candidates for admission. Recent elimination of such assessment tools has undermined many ... -
Dentine-pulp tissue engineering in miniature swine teeth by set calcium silicate containing bioactive molecules
(2017)Objective: The present study aims to investigate whether reparative dentinogenesis could be guided at central pulpal sites or at a distance from the amputated pulp of miniature pig teeth, by using set calcium silicate-based ... -
Preparation Prerequisites for Effective Irrigation of Apical Root Canal: A Critical Review
(2017)Background: It is well recognized that disinfection of the complex root canal system at the apical root canal remains the most critical therapeutic measure to treat apical periodontitis. Materials and Methods: ... -
EDTA conditioning of circumpulpal dentine induces dentinogenic events in pulpotomized miniature swine teeth
(2019)Aim: To investigate pulp responses after pulpotomy and EDTA conditioning of pulp chamber dentinal walls with or without the placement of a collagenous scaffold in the experimental model of miniature swine teeth. Methodology: ... -
Comparison of apical extrusion of intracanal bacteria by various glide-path establishing systems: an in vitro study
(2017)Objectives: This study compared the amount of apically extruded bacteria during the glide-path preparation by using multi-file and single-file glide-path establishing nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary systems. Materials ... -
Evaluation of Calcified Carotid Artery Atheromas Detected By Panoramic Radiograph among Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus
(2015)Abstract: This study was designed to determine the prevalence of Carotid artery calcifications (CACs) of diabetic patients and compare it with normal non-diabetic individuals. Panoramic radiographs of 200 adult patients ... -
The effect of orthodontic adhesive and bracket-base design in adhesive remnant index on enamel
(2015-02-14)Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of bracket-base design and adhesive on adhesive remnant index (ARI) and enamel surface area covered by adhesive. Methods: The sample consisted of 32 ... -
Large-scale all-atom molecular dynamics alanine-scanning of IAPP octapeptides provides insights into the molecular determinants of amyloidogenicity
(2019-02-21)Abstract: In order to investigate the early phase of the amyloid formation by the short amyloidogenic octapeptide sequence (‘NFGAILSS’) derived from IAPP, we carried out a 100ns all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations ... -
SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19: Viral Genomics, Epidemiology, Vaccines, and Therapeutic Interventions
(2020)Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic is due to infection caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus that impacts the lower respiratory tract. The spectrum of symptoms ranges from asymptomatic infections to mild respiratory symptoms ... -
Knowledge and Preference Towards Mode of Delivery among Pregnant Women in the United Arab Emirates: The Mutaba’ah Study
(2020)Background: The rate of cesarean section (CS) is growing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Pregnant women’s knowledge on the mode of delivery, factors associated with lack of adequate knowledge, and preference towards ... -
Genetic variation in the Middle East—an opportunity to advance the human genetics field
(2020)Abstract: We highlight the current lack of representation of the Middle East from large genomic studies and emphasize the expected high impact of cataloging its variation. We discuss the limiting factors and possible ... -
D-dimer, Troponin, and Urea Level at Presentation With COVID-19 can Predict ICU Admission: A Single Centered Study
(2020)Background: Identifying clinical-features or a scoring-system to predict a benefit from hospital admission for patients with COVID-19 can be of great value for the decision-makers in the health sector. We aimed to identify ... -
Autochthonous Transmission of West Nile Virus by a New Vector in Iran, Vector-Host Interaction Modeling and Virulence Gene Determinants
(2020)Abstract: Using molecular techniques and bioinformatics tools, we studied the vector-host interactions and the molecular epidemiology of West Nile virus (WNV) in western Iran. Mosquitoes were collected during 2017 and ... -
Incidence of occupational contact dermatitis in healthcare workers: a systematic review
(2020)Abstract: Healthcare workers (HCWs) can be considered at an increased risk of developing occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) due to repetitive hand washing with soaps and disinfectants and extended use of gloves for ... -
