Necessity of water fluoridation in Iran: A review on water fluoridation and prevention of dental caries
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Water fluoridation is one of the methods for prevention of dental caries. The purpose of this study was to review water fluoridation in the world and in Iran, and its effectiveness in reported literature. METHODS: This paper is not a systematic review, but reviews the literature. “Water fluoridation” was used as a keyword for searching (electronic and hand search) in specialist databases. Many studies show that fluoride ion is lower than its optimal level in almost of all of Iran’s provinces. RESULTS: Dental caries is prevalent among Iranian children and adults. Water fluoridation has chosen as a method for prevention and control dental caries in most of the countries. This method can be of a great for help to the Iran health policies to find a solution in Iran. CONCLUSION: The cities in Iran need a careful and scientific program for water fluoridation according to their climate.

The prevalence of malocclusion among 14-18 years old students in Shiraz
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Malocclusions are major traits whose prevalence should be noticed, by gender, among high school students to program oral health status in a society and clarify the needs and demands of this orthodontic field. METHODS: In a cross-sectional population-based study, using a stratified random cluster sampling design, a sample of 1338 students of Shiraz, aged 14-18 years from 15 high schools, located in four different regions of Shiraz was obtained and evaluated clinically for malocclusion traits. Using tongue blades, researchers studied the students under normal room illumination conditions. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of malocclusion was 23.70%. Angle’s classes I, II, and III malocclusion were observed in 12.78%, 9.94%, and 0.97% of the samples, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the overall prevalence of malocclusion between sexes. Other malocclusion traits evaluated were edge-to-edge occlusion (4.78%), crossbite (1.93%), and open bite (1.19%). CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed a high prevalence of malocclusion class I as well as an edge to edge malocclusion trait. Considering the findings, health care officials are expected to pay more attention to oral health fields.

Incidental dentomaxillofacial findings on cone beam computed tomography images of Iranian population
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The present study aimed to assess the nature and prevalence of incidental findings in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of oral and maxillofacial patients. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 773 CBCT samples were retrieved from archives of a private oral and maxillofacial radiology center. Any findings that were not related to the reason of CBCT request was recorded in forms designed originally for this study. RESULTS: 475 patients out of 773 had at least one incidental finding. It composed about 60% of the patients. The largest frequency of incidental findings were cases of periapical lesions. (n = 189), followed by mucous thickening of maxillary sinus (n = 170), retained root (n = 32), impaction and 3rd molar (n = 26). Other incidental findings were torus (n = 25), dental anomalies (n = 13), vertical root fracture (n = 5), intra bony lesion and periapical pathosis (n = 4) and the lowest frequency was sialoliths (n = 1). CONCLUSION: About half of the subjects have had at least one incidental finding, so the precise review of the CBCT images seems to be necessary.

Assessment of significant caries index and oral hygiene status in a 15-year-old student in Kerman, 2012
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Dental caries is a multifactorial disease that affects people of any age, sex, and race. Significant caries index (SiC index) has been defined by World Health Organization (WHO) to evaluate caries status in different societies. The aim of this study was to determine the SiC index in 15-year-old children in Kerman. METHODS: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on 300 of 15-year-old children that had been selected by systematic clustering sampling in Kerman. Data were collected by questionnaire (parents’ educational level, parents’ occupation, birth rank, number of children in family, tooth brushing, fluoride use, and regular dental visits) and clinical examination. Teeth were examined by dental mirror, according to WHO criteria. Data were analyzed in SPSS by using ANOVA, t-test, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. RESULTS: Thirty-two and nine brushed their teeth twice daily, 49.8% had never used dental floss, 47.8% had regular dental visit, 80.66% did not use fluoride mouthwash, and 34.4% were caries free. The mean of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) was 1.83 ± 1.26 and SiC index was 3.80. There was a significant correlation between the SiC index and parents’ job and birth rank of student. There was also significant correlation between regular dental visit and use of fluoride mouthwash and SiC index. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of dental caries in 15 years student in Kerman is still high. Using DMFT and SiC indices together may help to show oral health status better than DMFT index alone. Further studies are recommended.

Molar incisor hypomineralisation: Discernment a group of Iranian Dental Academics
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the knowledge of a group of Iranian academic dentists regarding incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in two dental schools in Iran. METHODS: A survey was undertaken amongst the teaching staff of the dental schools of Shiraz and Tehran Universities of Medical Sciences. The questionnaire consisted of two sections. In the first section respondents were asked to provide socio-demographic information including year and place of receiving, and type of dental qualification. The second section included questions regarding perception and recognition of the MIH defect in their clinical practice, the incidence and severity of the defect (represented by its clinical presentation), their knowledge of its prevalence, possible determinant factors, and their clinical experience with the management strategies for MIH. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution and Pearson's chi-square test for categorical data. The critical level for alpha was set at 0.05. RESULTS: A response rate of 61.3% was achieved. The vast majority of the respondents (85.7%) had encountered MIH in their professional work, with 48.8% indicating that yellow-brown opacities were the most prevalent lesion type. A significant difference between specialists was reported in relation to the frequency of observation of MIH (χ2(5) = 15.3; P < 0.001). Resin composite was the most popular material used in treating teeth with MIH (62%). Endodontists (90.0%) and pediatric dentists (77.8%) used resin composite significantly more than other specialist groups (χ2(5) = 5.8; P < 0.001). Adhesion was the most commonly reported influence on material choice (62.0%). CONCLUSION: MIH is a defect encountered by Iranian dental academic staff with a considerable disparity in knowledge and views regarding its clinical pattern.

The awareness of parents of 7-8 years-old children in Kerman about presence of the first permanent molar and concepts of preventive dentistry and effect of education on level of parent's awareness
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The first permanent molar is the first permanent tooth that erupted in 6-7-year-old and is very high risk for caries. Parent’s awareness has very important role in oral and dental health of children. The aim of this study was to assess the awareness of parents of 7-8-year-old children in Kerman about presence of the first permanent molar and concepts of preventive dentistry and the relation between parents’ awareness and the decay, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) of children’s first permanent molar tooth and effect of education on level of parent’s awareness. METHODS: In this community based and interventional study, 296 students at the age of 7-8-year-old were selected randomly from public and private schools of Kerman. A questionnaire was completed by the parents that included parent’s awareness about presence of first permanent molar, oral and dental hygiene principals, and preventive methods. Then, the students were examined and the DMFT of first permanent molar were recorded and educational pamphlets have distributed between parents. The same questionnaire was completed by parents after 3 weeks. The data were analyzed by paired t-test and linear regression. RESULTS: The mean of DMFT of the first permanent molar in female students was 1.64 ± 11.43 and male students were 1.51 ± 1.54. The mean scores of related to parent’s awareness before and after education were 12.06 and 15.13, respectively, which was statistically significant (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: There were no statistical significant different between parent’s awareness and DMFT of first permanent molar. The level of parent’s awareness was increased significantly after education (P < 0.05).

Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis with unilateral aggressive periodontitis: A case report
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Until now there are a few case reports in which idiopathic gingival enlargement and aggressive periodontitis are diagnosed in combination but in none of them unilateral aggressive periodontitis was seen. CASE REPORT: A 25-year-old female was referred with the chief complaint of swelling of the gingiva in the regions of right upper and lower jaws, for the past 7 years. No relevant medical or family history was recorded. There was not any local or environmental factor. On physical examination, generalized diffused enlargement of gingiva was observed. Radiographs showed unilateral advanced destruction of supporting bone in right upper and lower sextants. The histological analysis of excisional biopsy revealed hyper parakeratinized epithelium. Enormous distribution of inflammatory cells was seen in subepithelial tissue.RESULTS: The combination of gingival fibromatosis (GF) and unilateral aggressive periodontitis in this rare case can be a kind of syndromic form that is uncommon in GF. There is little information in this area.
