الخلفية و الهدف: تعد النخور السنية و سوء الإطباق من أكثر الأمراض السنية المزمنة شيوعاً في مرحلة الطفولة. إن الهدف من الدراسة الحالية هو تقييم شدة النخر السني و الحاجة للمعالجة التقويمية و العلاقة بينهما عند عينة من أطفال مدارس مدينة دمشق بعمر 12-10 سنة. مواد و طرائق البحث: شملت هذه الدراسة المقطعية 1428 طفلاً (677 ذكراً و 751 أنثى) كانوا جميعهم في مرحلة الإطباق المختلط المتأخر، و لم يسبق لهم أن تلقوا أي معالجة تقويمية. تم تقييم الصحة السنية لديهم باستخدام مشعر DMFT، كما تم تقييم حاجتهم للمعالجة التقويميـة باستخدام عناصر الصحة السـنية لمشـعر الحاجة للمعالجة التقويمية DHC-IOTN. تمت المقارنات الإحصائية باستخدام اختبارات 2-sample t-test ، Chi-square ،One-way ANOVA ، Bonferroni. و تم الحكم على النتائج عند مستوى الثقة 95%. النتائج:بلغ متوسط مشعر النخر السني DMFT في العينة الكلية 4.4 ±3.2، و بدون فروق جوهرية بين الذكور و الإناث (P=0.705). كان هناك حاجة شديدة أو ملحة للمعالجة التقويمية (الدرجتين الرابعة و الخامسة من مشعر DHC-IOTN) عند 341 طفلاً، بنسبة 23.88% من أفراد العينة، و بدون فروق جوهرية بين الذكور و الإناث (P=0.71). كانت شدة النخور السنية أعلى بشكل جوهري عند المرضى الذين لديهم الدرجات الأشد من الحاجة للمعالجة التقويمية. الاستنتاجات: إن مشعر DHC-IOTN هو مشعر موثوق سهل الاستخدام، ينصح باستخدامه في دراسات تقويم الأسنان الوبائية. تترافق الحالات الأشد من الحاجة للمعالجة التقويمية مع معدلات أكبر للنخور السنية، لذا ينصح بالمعالجة المبكرة لكل منهما بالإضافة إلى اتخاذ كافة الإجراءات الوقائية على المستوى الوطني.
Background and Aim: Dental caries and malocclusion are among the most common chronic dental diseases in childhood. The aim of present study was to assess the severity of dental caries and orthodontic treatment needs and the relation between them in a sample of 10- to 12-year-old Damascus schoolchildren. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1428 children (677 males and 751 females), all were in the late mixed dentitions and orthodontically untreated. Their dental health status was assessed using DMFT index and need for orthodontic treatment by the dental health component of the index of orthodontic treatment need (DHC-IOTN). Analytical statistics were calculated using 2-sample t-test, Chi-square, One-way ANOVA and Bonferroni tests. All the results were judged at a 95% confidence level. Results: The overall mean of DMFT was 4.4±3.2 without significant differences between males and females (p=0.705). Extreme and severe need for orthodontic treatment (grades 4 and 5 of IOTN) was registered in 341 subjects (23.88%), without significant differences between males and females (p=0.710). The severity of dental caries was significantly greater among patients with more severe grades of orthodontic treatment need. Conclusions: The DHC-IOTN index is reliable and userfriendly, which can be used for orthodontic epidemiological studies. There is significant relation between higher DMFT index and orthodontic treatment need. Therefore, early treatment and preventive national programmes is strongly advised.

As dental caries are among the most common chronic diseases, the study of their prevalence and severity in a specific population area can contribute to constructing necessary plans for treatment and prevention.
This study aimed to assess the rate
of prevalence and severity of dental caries in
13 -15 years – old children in Lattakia City and to study the effects of the different factors and their relation to the grade of the severity of the dental caries.
The study was conducted on 1680 children. The sample was divided into four main groups, depending on the grade of severity of the dental caries. The analysis of data showed that the prevalence of dental caries was 67.1±1.92% and the DMFT value was 2.35. The study also showed that mother feeding, the factor of dental care and socioeconomical factors are important in all groups
The research was conducted on a sample of 16 basic education students in the city of Latakia including both genders .
Using The Experimental method which is the suitable method for the nature of the search the researcher conducted the pre-test on
the sample using Tachiscope test calculating the number of right times and taking performance time in the consideration. After a series of rolls. the research concluded that the forward roll remarkably improves the attention focus by analyzing the pre-test and post-tests results .that confirms the positive effect of rolls on the attention focus.
The researcher recommended that it is important to train the school students on the forward roll in the sports class because of its positive effect on the subjects that needs attention focus and mental processes in general
Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and severity of ECC in 3 to 5 -year children in Lattakia and the correlation of saliva pH, buffer capacity and salivary flow rate with the dental caries. Materials and methods: An epidemiological
study of N = 400 children was conducted to determine the prevalence of ECC in Lattakia’s kindergartens and the association between child's gender, age and caries.The salivary tests for N = 40 children, the mean number of teeth, carious surfaces, restored and lost due to caries were measured. Results: The results indicated a high prevalence of Ecc among children (69.8%) We did not find significant differences in dmft, dmfs between children according to gender or age. The adjusted ability of saliva was high for 65% and medium for 35%. On the other hand, it was found that there is an inverse correlation between saliva pH and the studied indicators.
The number of children with heart diseases in the Syrian society is constantly
growing , In view of the importance of oral health and oral manifestations to this group of patients and the
difficulties which dentists face in treating them , it is ve
ry important to study oral health and the dental
caries prevalence. This study seeks to determine the prevalence of dental caries and to evaluate previous
dental treatment in children with heart diseases in Damascus hospitals.
Dental caries is considered as one of the most common chronic diseases. The study of prevalence and severity of dental caries conducted in a specific geographic area contributes in constructing necessary plans for treatment and prevention. Aims
of this study are to determine the prevalence and severity of early-childhood caries and to define risk factors associated with ECC among Lattakia/ Syrian preschool children. The sample comprised 909 children were divided into three age groups 3-4-5 years. A questionnaire was distributed and contained information on oral feeding habits, socio-economic status and educational Status of the mother. The results, and data analysis showed that the prevalence of ECC for pre-school children was 84.8%, the mean dmft and dmfs score in the group was in 3 years ( 4.09 (5.22=+6.22 & 2.85+=respectively. In 4 years3.43+=4.12) &7.29 += 8.25 ) .In 5 years (4.93 +=4.42 & (11.962+=10.157.
The value of the significant caries index SIC was 9.02. We obtained on 492 questionnaire which was observed a significant relationship between ECC and age of children , socio-economic status of the family, the educational status of the mother, feeding habits ( quantity of sweet consumption per day- time of sweet consumed between meals, using baby bottle ). However, breastfeeding and gender didn't have significant effect
