The criteria obtained for a specific race cannot be used as treatment planning criteria for other races and societies. It seems that no thorough study has been carried out in Iranian context to determine the acceptability of these standards. In this study, the desired nasolabial (NL), nasofrontal (NF), chin-neck (Ch-N) angles and anterior-posterior chin position from the point of view of people seeking esthetic surgery were determined. METHODS: In a cross-sectional, descriptive study, 500 people seeking esthetic surgery referring to School of Dentistry and Chamran Hospital in Shiraz, Iran, were asked to see images and record their desired angles in a questionnaire. The samples were chosen from people with ages ranging from 18 to 48 years old referred to t-he Hospital in 2012 and 2013. The silhouette profile image of a young girl with normal face ratios was used. Data were analyzed via SPSS software using chi-square and t-tests. Chi-square test was used to compare nominal data and student’s t-test to compare quantitative data. P < 0.050 was considered as significant. RESULTS: The mean age of subjects in our study was 27 years. From the 500 subjects, 35.4% were males and 64.6% were females. Average desired Ch-N, NL and NF were 118.28, 137.8 and 107.8 respectively. Desired mean for the anterior-posterior chin position was 6.23 mm. CONCLUSIONS: According to this study, no significant differences were found between the desired face sizes in Iranian community and other communities.}, keywords = {cosmetic surgery,Beauty Cultures,beauty}, url = {https://johoe.kmu.ac.ir/article_84799.html}, eprint = {https://johoe.kmu.ac.ir/article_84799_31be7e52bed92e52af27c541590c8373.pdf} } @article { author = {Journal, Index}, title = {Journal Index}, journal = {Journal of Oral Health and Oral Epidemiology}, volume = {3}, number = {2}, pages = {-}, year = {2018}, publisher = {Kerman University of Medical Sciences}, issn = {2322-1372}, eissn = {2322-1372}, doi = {}, abstract = {Please Click to download the index of this issue.}, keywords = {}, url = {https://johoe.kmu.ac.ir/article_84798.html}, eprint = {https://johoe.kmu.ac.ir/article_84798_7f9fb7c283d99ea51fbebe9b59ace05e.pdf} } @article { author = {Kolyaei, Ensi and Nasrollahi‎, Ebrahim and Safari, Roya and Bashiri, Masoud and Rastegar-Khosravi, Mohammad}, title = {Use of rubber dam among dentists working in the west part of Iran}, journal = {Journal of Oral Health and Oral Epidemiology}, volume = {3}, number = {2}, pages = {53-57}, year = {2014}, publisher = {Kerman University of Medical Sciences}, issn = {2322-1372}, eissn = {2322-1372}, doi = {}, abstract = {BACKGROUND AND AIM: Although Rubber dam (RD) usage is one of the ideal and standard methods for isolating the teeth in several operative procedures of dentistry, General Dental Practitioners often neglect it. Many studies within several countries have reported various frequencies for RD application. There is no such study for Iran, so we conducted a study to report the frequency of its application and the effective factors. METHODS: This cross-sectional study carried out across the west part of Iran in 2013. A total of 525 general Dental Practitioners from the public and private sectors selected by stratified random sampling using a list from 3 big western cities of Iran. The data were collected using self-administrated checklist. RESULTS: The prevalence of RD application among General Dental Practitioner was 0.2% (confidence interval 95%: 0.196-0.204). RD instrument was existed in around 7% of cases. The main reason of the General Dental Practitioner to avoid RD application was supposing it is time-consuming procedure and causing patients stress (58.9%).

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This laboratory study included a sample of 48 sound human molar teeth. Teeth were randomly assigned into four groups according to toothpaste treatment to be evaluated objectively (colorimetric method) and subjectively (visual assessment) (n = 12). Group I: Ozonated toothpaste (experimental); Group II: Non-ozonated toothpaste (experimental); Group III: Aqua fresh whitening triple protection; and Group IV: Nasim (toothpaste without a chemical whitening agent). After tea staining and color assessment, the teeth were subjected to a tooth brushing regime as for 6 weeks, done twice a day, 2 min each time (total: 168 min). Next, color changes were determined after brushing by instrumental and visual methods. RESULTS: Analysis of variance and the Tukey tests were used for evaluating statistical data (α = 0.05). Color change by instrumental index showed that ozonated and aquafresh toothpastes increased teeth whitening; however, the amount color change was not significant (P > 0.050).

Avulsion most commonly occurs in 7-11 year olds. If sports tutors have enough information regarding replantation, they could play a significant role in prognosis of treatment. The purpose of this study was to assess physical education teachers’ level of knowledge regarding avulsion of teeth in Tehran’s Primary Schools, Iran, in 2012. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study which used a questionnaire consisting three parts including 21 questions. The first part was about demographic information; the second part was about traumatic lesion to tooth and the third part was about process of avulsed teeth protection. The questionnaire was completed by a random sample of volunteer sports tutors in Tehran Primary Schools. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS software using the chi-square test. RESULTS: About 160 subjects participated, 67.1% of the tutors had mid-level knowledge regarding the second part of the questionnaire, and 64.1% had a low level of knowledge regarding the third part. In relation to the second and third part of the questionnaire, a statistically significant relationship was observed between the age of the tutors and their level of information (P < 0.050). There was also a significant relationship between the level of information about the third section of the survey and the amount of experience the tutors had about avulsion (P < 0.050). CONCLUSION: The results indicate a low level of knowledge in sports tutors in dealing with avulsed teeth and suitable media for transferring the teeth.

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between some selected risk factors in pregnancy and the dental status. METHODS: The study sample consisted of 377 pregnant women attended for their routine antenatal visit at public hospitals in Esfahan city in 2012. Data, including age, number of previous deliveries, mean of pregnancy interval and gestational age were determined using interviewer-filled questionnaires. Oral health examination was performed by assessing mean number of decayed, missed and filled teeth (DMFT), according to the World Health Organization criteria. Spearman analysis was used to identify maternal characteristics correlated to dental status. RESULTS: The mean (± standard deviation) DMFT among antenatal women were 10.6 ± 4.21, with 4.10 ± 2.23 decayed teeth, 4.15 ± 2.12 missed teeth, and 2.32 ± 1.46 filled teeth. No significant difference of DMFT means were observed among the 3 gestation periods (P > 0.05). Moreover, the Spearman correlation test showed that the trend is for the DMFT to increase with age and the number of deliveries (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Results of the present study showed that the age of mother and number of previous deliveries are the risk factors for increasing DMFT.

Possibly, one of these causes is salivary glucose. The aim of this study was to evaluate salivary glucose concentrations in patients with Type II diabetes mellitus (DM) and their association with oral and dental manifestations and compare them with normal adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this analytical study, 128 patients with Type II DM and 132 non-diabetic healthy individuals were selected. The subjects’ blood and unstimulated salivary samples were collected. Salivary glucose concentrations were measured by glucose oxidase method. Then, the oral cavity and teeth were examined for oral manifestations such as ulcers, white and red plaques, lichenoid reaction, candidiasis and decayed missing filled teeth (DMFT) and periodontal disease index (PDI) indices. Data were analyzed by independent t-test and Pearson’s correlation test. RESULTS: The results of the present study showed that, in general, individuals with higher concentrations of salivary glucose had significantly higher DMFT and PDI, irrespective of belonging to the diabetic or the control group (P < 0.050). However, there was no significant correlation between salivary glucose concentrations and oral manifestations. Meanwhile, there was a significant correlation between salivary glucose concentration and glycated hemoglobin in diabetic patients compared with the control group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The present study showed that the salivary glucose concentration had a positive association with DMFT and PDI in diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

Then, every pair of hand and rotary instruments was cleaned using one of the ultrasonic cleaner brands. Again the instruments were examined by SEM and assessed in three different parts, tip, middle and distance 16 (D16). SEM data were analyzed by Kurskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney tests. RESULTS: The tip of the endodontic instruments was the most contaminated area before ultrasonic cleaning. Statistical analysis showed that all of the tested ultrasonic devices were significantly effective machines for debris removal from endodontic instruments. The hand and rotary instruments cleaned by one of the devices were significantly cleaner than the others (P < 0.050). There was a significant difference in cleaning of the separate parts of the instruments during ultra-sonication among ultrasonic cleaners.
