Dental Anxiety Research

Majority out door patients (OPD) was answered by 55 (27%) and 50 (25%) patients. Among the 138(69%)out door patients(OPD) Patients had satisfied and positive experience in dental (OPD).Dental anxiety treatment was discovered in 6 (3%) patients at private dental clinics and hospitals in contrast to none in public dentistry hospitals and clinics by using MDAS Modified Dental Anxiety Scale.

Each question directed was analyzed for chi square. A number of 11 patients have undergone tooth extraction in maxillary anterior region, 32 patients had tooth extraction in maxillary posterior region, mandibular anterior tooth extraction recorded 21 patients and 36 patients had done mandibular posterior region tooth extraction. Out of 100 patients, 35% opted for removable partial denture (RPD) while 48% opted for fixed partial denture (FPD) and only 17% opted for implants to replace the missing tooth. The choice of prosthesis opted by patients varying from each region. In maxillary anterior region, 2% of patients opted for removable partial denture (RPD), 4% opted for fixed partial denture (FPD) while 5% chose implants.

A study by Addy et al 1999 showed the prevalence of recession to be higher on upper canine and first pre-molar teeth and lower canine, first premolar and incisor teeth, in a group of 92 subjects with a mean age of 35 years.13 Some studies show that the prevalence of gingival recession is higher on the left side of the jaw.14 Higher levels of recession have been found in males than females and in Afrocarribeans and African-american than White Caucasians and other racial or ethnic groups.15 Recession is also found in patients with good oral hygiene as well as in patients with poor oral hygiene. In patients with good oral hygiene, recession is located commonly on buccal surfaces and in those with poor oral hygiene other tooth surfaces are also affected.16,17 Studies also show a correlation between calculus and gingival recession. One such study by Van der Weijden et al 1998 shows a higher prevalence of recession on lingual surfaces of lower anterior teeth in the age group of 20-34 years.18 Habits such as lip and tongue piercings are associated with increased prevalence of recession in mandibular anterior teeth.19 In patients with periodontitis attachment loss, bone loss and gingival recession is located mainly interdentally. It has been estimated that approximately 60%

I believe the doctor fail to include the four core patient identifiers on wristbands such as the last name, first name, date of birth and NHS number. He also fails to follow the information on Information Standards Board for Health and Social Care (2009) which clearly says to follow clear and consistent processes for

Among the most recognized specialities are the following: oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial pathology, periodontics, oral and maxillofacial radiology. Orthodontics is one of the specialities within dentistry most demanded by patients being its primary objective the alignment, of the teeth to correct the poor disposition of them. The dentists who are dedicated to this branch are concerned with preventing, diagnosing and treating all the conditions that result from poor positioning of the teeth. One of the main consequences that generates the deficient dental position is the bad bite that derives so many other oral problems. Another issue that causes misalignment is the loss of a piece without the corresponding containment treatment.

Among all facial injuries, dental injuries are the most common. As much as 18% of all injuries in children up to 6 years of age are seen in the oral region.2 Injuries to the primary dentition are common, occurring with a significantly higher annual incidence than in the permanent dentition. One third of all children in the primary dentition stage suffer from traumatic injuries to the mouth. This is possibly related to poor motor coordination and is sometimes due to the child’s inability to evaluate

INTRODUCTION Nutrition therapy is usually placed in a lower priority compared with hemodynamic or ventilatory support in managing critically ill patients. Under- or over-feeding is not uncommon, but is under-recognized in the intensive care unit. It has been suggested that underfeeding is associated with poor wound healing and immunologic comprise. On the other hand, over-nutrition can cause fatty liver and pulmonary compromise. These complications can possibly translate into morbidities and mortalities.

The activity of lesions need to be determined as cavitated lesions continue to trap bacterial plaque and need to be restored. A single observation will only tell the clinician about the condition of the tooth at that single point in time; but, it will not determine whether the demineralization increasing or, perhaps decreasing. The small lesion needs to be well examine than the larger lesion (Whitaker., 2006). Most of dental caries detection research focused occlusal and smooth surface caries. A critical factor to consider is that

Each element has its own toxicology profile and how these elements are useful to the human system (Klaassen, 2001). Dental amalgams deteriorate due to a number of causes, namely; mastication, vigorous teeth brushing, oral temperature increase and abrasion. When the dental amalgam is damaged it tends to release a mercury vapour or little pieces of amalgam which are ingested into the system with beverages or food (SCENHIR, 2007; Roberson et al., 2006; Huggins, 1992). The amount of damage dental amalgams can produced is based on the size, sensitivity of the patient to one of the elements in the amalgam, composition of the amalgam, the age of the amalgam and the surface area covered by the amalgam (Weiner et al.,

Research showed that there is big gap between nurse knowledge and attitude of Advanced life support for instance, study conducted in Tanzania reveals that more than half (52%) of Nurses in the study had poor knowledge and negative attitude about Advanced Life Support. Fifty-eight percent (58%)of the respondent had negative attitude regarding Advanced Life Support. Study conducted in Indonesia showed that more than half of their study subject (58%) had low Advanced Life Support knowledge and negative attitude on ALS {Kelleher S, Andrews T 2008 Feb} (16). In general, the knowledge and attitude for most medical personnel regarding Advanced Life Support are lower than expected. There are still no studies done on assessment of Knowledge and Attitude regarding Advanced life support among nurses, anesthesia and general practitioners in Ethiopia.
