الهدف: أجريت هذه الدراسة لتقييم انتشار بعض العادات الفموية ( تنفس فموي, بلع طفلي, مص إصبع ) عند أطفال المدارس في مدينة اللاذقية. المواد و الطرق: تم إجراء دراسة مقطعية شملت 825 طفل تراوحت أعمارهم بين (8-12) عام تم اختيارهم عشوائياً من أطفال المدارس في مدينة اللاذقية. تم جمع المعلومات المتعلقة بالعادات الفموية من خلال استبيان صُمم خصيصاً لغرض البحث تم إرساله إلى الآباء و تم إجراء التقييم السريري باستخدام أدوات الفحص. النتائج: بلغت نسبة انتشار العادات الفموية المدروسة 36.4% و كان التنفس الفموي العادة الأكثر انتشاراً 22.8% يليه البلع الطفلي 17.3%، و كانت عادة مص الإصبع العادة الأقل انتشاراً 5.8% و لم يكن هناك فروق في انتشار العادات الفموية المدروسة تبعاً للجنس أو العمر. الاستنتاجات: أظهرت الدراسة معدل انتشار عالي للعادات الفموية المدروسة ضمن عينة البحث و قد أبرز ذلك نقص اهتمام و وعي الأهل فيما يتعلق بالصحة الفموية لطفلهم و الحاجة إلى تحسين خطط الصحة العامة للوقاية التقويمية بحيث يمكن تجنب حدوث سوء إطباق في المستقبل.
Aim of Study: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of some oral habits (mouth breathing, infantile swallowing, digit sucking) among school children in Lattakia city. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 825 children aged (8-12) years, from school children in Lattakia city. Information on oral habits was obtained from the parents through a specially designed questionnaire. A clinical evaluation was also done. Results:.The results showed that the percentage of prevalence of oral habits in Lattakia school children was 36.4% , and mouth breathing (22.8%) which was most commonly seen followed by infantile swallowing (17.3%). Digit sucking was a less common habit seen in only 5.8% .There were no differences in the prevalence of these habits between boys and girls and there were no significant differences according to age . Conclusions: The study showed high prevalence of these oral habits. This highlighted a lack of awareness and care by families related to their children’s oral health as well as the need to improve public health plans for orthodontic prevention so that future occurrence of malocclusion can be avoided.

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
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
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.
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.
Aim of study: Comparing the efficacy of combination (Midazolam – Hydroxyzine)
with and without nitrous oxide and oxygen in sedating uncooperating school children
undergoing dental treatment.
Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, triple bl
ind, randomized, cross
over, clinical study of uncooperative school children in need of two sessions of Bilateral
mandibular dental treatment. 30 children ages (6-9) years, were randomly selected to
receive one of two regimens: Regimen (A) contain oral midazolam (M) 7.5 mg and
hydroxyzine (H) 10 mg with oxygen (O2) 100%, while Regimen (B) contain oral
midazolam (M) 7.5 mg and hydroxyzine (H) 10 mg with nitrous oxide\oxygen (N2O\O2)
50% . And in the second session, the other regimen was administered. the behavior was
assessed using modified Houpt rating scale by reviewing the records of patients in
pretreatment stage ( injection, rapper dam, operating dental drill without touching the tooth
then with touching it) and during treatment stages ( drilling, restoration ). Beside recording
the vital signs.
Results: Comparing the overall assessment of the two regimens the success rate was
(86.67%) in regimen (A) and (93.34%) in regimen (B). No significant statistical difference
existed between the two regimes. The vital signs remained within normal limits in all cases
and no series side effects appeared.
