“…However, the associations were not significant for the reasons of tooth fillings and root canal treatments, which indicates that restorations or root canal procedures were only sought after on occasion, which is further indicative of good oral hygiene measures among the target population. Similar results were obtained in a study conducted by Shah S et al 2017 reported that college students were widely aware of knowledge but weren't much aware about certain oral health hygiene (Shah et al, 2017).…”

This study is conducted in order to associate the level of awareness engineering students are of dental treatments and their extent of knowledge about implementing at need. To study the extent of awareness and knowledge about various dental treatments among engineering students. A set of questionnaires were prepared, developed and circulated among the engineering students in relation with the awareness and knowledge about various dental treatments. A total of 217 responses were collected and analyzed. The results were compiled for analysis.The obtained results show that engineering students are widely aware about various dental treatments.The study concludes that of the growing and enhancement in technology, the extent of awareness and knowledge about various dental treatments among engineering students is quite good.

“… 2 Among the oral habits, thumb sucking is the first and most common habit in children, involving almost 50% of the world's young population from birth to adolescence. 3 , 4 There are many reasons for finger sucking, but in terms of developmental growth, mental and nutritional reasons have been investigated. Finger sucking, like other non-nutritional sucking habits, is significantly associated with malocclusion in both periods of deciduous and permanent teeth and can cause effects such as decreased maxillary arch width, increased overjet, increased crossbite, anterior open bite, and posterior crossbite.…”

A bstract Aim Parafunctional habits cause movements indicating their effect as functional and structural disorders such as malocclusion and temporomandibular joint changes in the oral and dental organs. This cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with parafunctional habits in 6–12-year-old children in Qom, Iran. Materials and methods This analytical cross-sectional study was performed on 403 6–12-year-old schoolchildren of Qom, Iran. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and a checklist prepared along with a clinical examination. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), with chi-square and analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests. Results The mean age of children was 8.9 ± 2.03 years. Bruxism was more common than other parafunctional habits (22.6%). There was a significant relationship between oral habits with children's gender and age ( p <0.001). However, there was no significant relationship between oral habits and other variables such as underlying disease, economic status and parent's smoking (p >0.05). Conclusions Given the relatively high prevalence of parafunctional habits in children, it seems that children should be investigated for the presence of such habits in order to provide the necessary education to parents and perform dental interventions to prevent complications from oral habits. Dental interventions at a younger age are easier to conduct and have a more effective preventive role. How to cite this article Mehdipour A, Aghaali M, Janatifar Z, et al.
