To remove the inter-proximal plague, flossing has received the most attention among all the dentists. However, difficulty in dental flossing has made this technique to be avoided during tooth brushing. The proper transfer of Information and motivation to use dental floss and brush can change the attitude of the patient from an unhealthy approach to a healthy approach. The main aim of this study is to assess the knowledge and awareness of the adult population in Saudi Arabia about dental flossing. The pre-designed, pre-tested, and self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among the adult patients visiting the various clinics in Saudi Arabia. The data that was collected from the questionnaire were analysed using the computer software Statistical package for social sciences that is SPSS 16. Among these 1011 patients, most of them were in the age group ranging from 19 to 25 years. About 971 (55%) participants used toothbrush and toothpaste to clean their teeth, while 234 (23%) patients used mouthwash, and 177 (17%) used miswak. Only 140 (14%) participants used the dental floss, 566 (56%) didn't use dental floss, and 305 (30%) rarely use dental floss.

The failure of root canal treatment occurs due to lack of standards or aspects of procedure were not followed accurately. Root canal treatment’s failure can be justified by response ratio of teeth and procedural errors that limits the intracanal endodontic infection, but not control it properly as preventive measure. Although there was very little evidence regarding the predictive factors for tooth preservation, effects of failure of root canal system and tooth survival was investigated. Very few studies have been conducted to evaluate the clinical outcomes of failure of root canal treatment on tooth survival. Therefore, we will aim to design a systematic review to evaluate clinical outcomes of failure of root canal treatment on tooth survival. We conducted a systematic review by following “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)” guidelines related to title which was “The effect of failure root canal treatment on the tooth” according to study aims. The study selection criteria (as including both inclusion and exclusion criteria) were designed for screening and selection of collected data in recent systematic review. For recent systematic review, we collected about 67 studies related to the effect of failure root canal treatment on the tooth through searching from above mentioned databases About 7 out of remaining papers were up to the standard and met the above-mentioned criteria. The above included 7 studies were relevant to study aims and evaluated the effects of failed toot treatments or root canal treatment (RCT) on tooth survival, tooth health and safety. All included studies coded the major effects of failure root canal treatment as the swelling, (Topçuoğlu & Topçuoğlu, 2017 & Ulin et al., 2020) prospective pain, (Ballal et al., 2020, Wang et al., 2010 & inflammation, (Verma et al., 2019) and microbial attack (Chen et al., 2017 & Jordan et al., 2014) intensity. However, all studies have evaluated different root canal treatment with different non-surgical treatments. Overall, the clinical effects of failure of root canal treatment are severe and should be overcome with retreatment.

Periodontitis is a risk factor for children who practice poor oral hygiene at home. This is due to the higher frequency of association between children’s and parents’ microbiota. It is likely due to the influence of both, hereditary and environmental factors. Although it is possible for periodontal disease to be passed down across generations, the underlying mechanism behind this is still unknown. According to clinical study, genetic predisposition accounts for 50% of an individual’s sensitivity to periodontal disease. Because clear information on the issue is sparse, the purpose of this study is to examine the known studies on the impact of a family history of periodontal disease on children. English-language articles, case reports, and case series published from 2013 to 2022, taken from the Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, and MEDLINE databases (through PubMed) in accordance with PRISMA criteria were reviewed to research children with a history of periodontal disease. researchers for relevant materials. Twenty-nine children from various case studies were included in the present systematic study. In nine of the 29 studies, no family members had Hereditary gingival fibromatosis, a kind of periodontal disease while a family member had in the other 20 studies. One person had Zimmemrman-Laband Syndrome, two had severe periodontal disease, one had juvenile hyaline fibromatosis, and the other two had non-syndromic Hereditary gingival fibromatosis in four independent tests. In three case studies, children whose parents have periodontitis are likely to have periodontal disease. Children who have periodontal disease are more likely to develop the illness and should be checked and treated very once. More research is needed, especially well-designed studies that avoid the flaws mentioned in the publications included in this review.

A cleft lip occurs when the tissues that compose the lip fail to fuse together before delivery. There is a gap in the upper lip in the case of a cleft lip. An affected child may also have a cleft palate if they have a cleft lip. The condition is also sometimes diagnosed after birth. A cleft palate sometimes takes a long time to be diagnosed (such as sub mucous cleft palates and bifid uvulas). The surgical repair of a child's face can improve their breathing, hearing, and even their speech and language skills. Using the Medline and PubMed Central databases, this study examined periodontal findings in children with clefted lip and palate using a systematic literature search in English. All search terms were in English and were applicable to the articles related to periodontal findings in children with cleft lip and palate. To electronically extract data from Medline and PubMed Central, an electronic form is designed by the principal investigator. Upon screening using filters, inclusion and exclusion criteria, around 6 articles were selected related in this study. These articles were systematically reviewed and analyzed using PRISMA.  When a child has a cleft lip or palate, it affects oral hygiene and the amount of periodontal pathogens in the oral biofilm. In the literature, there is a lack of studies which utilize validated, reliable measures to determine how individuals with oral clefts perceive their quality of life. It will be important to perform additional studies that utilize specific tools for assessing Quality of Life in patients with oral clefts with larger samples in hopes of better understanding their Quality of Life.

Background: Orthodontic treatment involves the use of appliances such as braces or aligners to straighten teeth and improve bite. Maintaining good oral hygiene during treatment is crucial to prevent the development of dental caries and periodontal disease. Methods: A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2018 and 2022. The search terms used included "orthodontic treatment," "oral hygiene," "dental caries," and "periodontal disease." Inclusion criteria for studies were: (1) written in English, (2) published in peer-reviewed journals, (3) focused on orthodontic treatment and oral hygiene, and (4) included original research. Exclusion criteria were: (1) case reports, (2) reviews or meta-analyses, (3) not focused on orthodontic treatment or oral hygiene. Results: A total of 28 studies were included in the systematic review. The majority of the studies were observational in nature and conducted on adolescent patients. The studies consistently demonstrated that poor oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment is associated with an increased risk of dental caries and periodontal disease. Specifically, a poor oral hygiene status was found to be associated with a higher incidence of white spot lesions, gingivitis, and periodontitis during treatment with fixed appliances. Conclusion: The results of this systematic review demonstrate the importance of oral hygiene in orthodontic treatment. Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment should be educated about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene to prevent the development of dental caries and periodontal disease. Dentists and orthodontists should closely monitor the oral hygiene status of their patients during treatment and provide appropriate interventions to improve oral hygiene and prevent the development of oral health complications.
