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.

Research summary
تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحديد نسب انتشار وشدة نخور الطفولة المبكرة (ECC) عند الأطفال بعمر 3 إلى 5 سنوات في مدينة اللاذقية، وتحديد ارتباط درجة pH اللعاب، القدرة الدارئة للعاب، ومعدل التدفق اللعابي مع حدوث النخر السني. شملت الدراسة 400 طفلًا لتحديد نسب انتشار النخور، و40 طفلًا لدراسة الاختبارات اللعابية. أظهرت النتائج أن نسبة انتشار النخور بلغت 69.8%، ولم توجد فروقات جوهرية بين الجنسين أو الأعمار المختلفة. كانت القدرة المعدلة للعاب عالية عند 65% من الأطفال ومتوسطة عند 35%. كما تبين وجود علاقة ارتباط عكسية بين درجة pH اللعاب والمؤشرات النخرية المدروسة. تشير النتائج إلى أن انخفاض درجة pH للعاب يزيد من احتمالية حدوث النخور، بينما لم يظهر معدل التدفق اللعابي أي ارتباط مع حدوث النخور.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعد هذه الدراسة مهمة في تسليط الضوء على مشكلة صحية شائعة بين الأطفال في مدينة اللاذقية. ومع ذلك، يمكن الإشارة إلى بعض النقاط التي قد تحتاج إلى تحسين. أولاً، حجم العينة المستخدمة في الاختبارات اللعابية (40 طفلًا) قد يكون غير كافٍ للحصول على نتائج دقيقة وشاملة. ثانيًا، لم يتم التطرق إلى العوامل الاجتماعية والاقتصادية التي قد تؤثر على نتائج الدراسة. ثالثًا، قد يكون من المفيد إجراء دراسات مستقبلية تشمل عينات أكبر وتغطي مناطق جغرافية مختلفة للحصول على صورة أكثر شمولية عن انتشار النخور وعواملها المؤثرة.

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
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 childr en 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.
The study aimed to identify the environmental awareness among the kindergarten children (high, middle, low) in Lattakia city. In order to achieve this objective, the sample of the research of kindergarten children was selected from public and priva te kindergartens. The number of the sample reached (180) children of the age (5-6) years. This sample was chosen stratified randomly. The researcher used the descriptive method to achieve the objectives of the study. The research tool consisted of a non-verbal environmental awareness scale, which was developed by the researcher to suit the developmental characteristics of the kindergarten child in The Syrian Environment. The study found that the level of the environmental awareness of kindergarten children in Lattakia was high. The results also showed that there were no differences between kindergarten children in their environmental awareness according to gender and kindergarten's own.
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.
