Objective: Health care providers in emergency settings encounter emotional issues in treating traumatic dental injuries TDIs which may have a significant negative impact on the quality of life. Assessing OHRQoL of children with TDIs, in emergency, promote a shift from traditional dental management to a more supportive care that focuses on a person’s social and emotional status and physical functioning in which appropriate health care and optimal outcomes can be obtained. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of TDIs on the quality of life of 7to16-year-old Syrian school children and to test whether treatment of TDI will improve their OHRQoL. Basic research design:A case-control study was carried out involving 147children aged 7 to 16 years attending the Department of Pediatric Dentistry in Damascus University. Andreasen classification was adopted for TDI diagnosis. CPQ11-14 instrument was utilized to assess OHRQoL. Results: Findings of this study revealed significant differences in OHRQoL items before and after treatment of participating children. There were no statistically significant differences between healthy children and those who were treated with TDI in regard to the overall OHRQoL (P > 0.05). Conclusions: OHRQoL was significantly improved in children with TDIs after treatment. Oral symptoms, functional limitations, emotional and social well-being were similar to healthy children. Health professionals in Syria should put efforts to make war less damaging for children and their parents. Dentistry during the crisis goes beyond filling and drilling of injured teeth to a moral commitment within a supportive and caring context.

Results: The results showed increasing in DMFT, dmft indices ,gingival bleeding index and dental plaque after follow- up for 12 months.
Lexical complexity is a highly subjective notion, yet this factor is often neglected in lexical simplification and readability systems which use a ''one-size-fits-all'' approach. In this paper, we investigate which aspects contribute to the notion of lexical complexity in various groups of readers, focusing on native and non-native speakers of English, and how the notion of complexity changes depending on the proficiency level of a non-native reader. To facilitate reproducibility of our approach and foster further research into these aspects, we release a dataset of complex words annotated by readers with different backgrounds.
Periodontal diseases are considered to be the most prevalent disease among population next to dental caries , they differ from other systemic diseases such as depression , cardiac diseases and diabetes in that they have clear causes and depend upo n person’s daily life style . The health knowledge can play an active role in prevention of oral disease while other diseases have complicating factors that health knowledge alone is insufficient to prevent its occurrence . This study aimed to determine the level of oral health knowledge among of Damascus university students.
Aim of study: Evaluating the oral health status of children with congenital heart disease in comparison with the healthy children in Lattakia city. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 children aged between 5 and 12 years attending the pediatric clinic of AL-Assad Hospital-Lattakia were included. The study group was consisted of 50 children diagnosed with heart disease. The control group was consisted of 50 healthy children of the same age and gender. Dental caries, plaque, gingivitis and developmental enamel defects were assessed for each child in the two groups. Results: Mean dmft, gingivitis and plaque were significantly higher in the cardiac group as compared to the control group. Statistically, no significant differences were found in the comparison between the prevalence of developmental enamel defects and mean DMFT for the two groups. Conclusion: Children with congenital heart disease had a poor oral health compared to the healthy children, which increased the risk of susceptibility to bacteremia and development of infective endocarditis. Therefore, dental care for children with heart disease must be seriously considered at an early age when the first tooth erupts.
