Abstract

Parental perception and attitudes are important parameters in deciding the most suitable behavioral management technique for their children’s dental treatment. Objective: This study sought to evaluate parents’ perceptions, attitudes, and concern in using a papoose board (PB) on their child during dental treatment as a behavioral management technique in dentistry, as well as determine the sociodemographic factors associated with parents’ willingness to use the PB for their children’s dental care. Methods: One hundred parents from three locations with at least one healthy child aged between 4 and 7 years old were randomly identified. A self-made video (duration of 94 s) depicting the systematic placement of a PB on a child prior to dental treatment was viewed. Subsequently, each parent completed a validated 12-item questionnaire consisting of two domains: i) demographics and ii) acceptance given. A horizontal-visual analog scale was used to measure acceptance. Descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient, and simple logistic regression analysis were performed to generate the mean and standard deviation, frequency, percentage, and correlation. Results: Seventy-six parents completed the study. Approximately 63.2% of respondents felt that the PB is an effective technique to use, and 65.8% would permit its use during dental treatment for their children. However, 43.4% of respondents were worried about their child’s dental treatment. The age of the parents is a significant factor in their decision to use the PB. Conclusion: The PB appears to be well accepted by parents as a behavioral management technique in the condition that a proper explanation of its usage is given before its application.

Abstract

The relationship between facial measurements and the size of the maxillary anterior teeth in the Malaysian population is still a point of contention. Objective: The purpose of this study was to establish a relationship between facial measurements and the mesiodistal width of the maxillary anterior teeth (MDW), which could be used to guide the selection of anterior teeth for complete denture construction. Methods: The facial and dental measurements were obtained directly from 170 Malay adults aged between 19 to 35 who had morphologically normal permanent maxillary anterior teeth from canine to canine. The facial dimensions measured were interpupillary distance (IPD), intercanthal distance (ICD) and interalar distance (IAD). The facial dimensions were measured using a digital vernier calliper while the mesiodistal width of the maxillary anterior teeth was measured with a flexible ruler. The three facial dimensions were correlated with MDW for both genders. Results:The IPD and IAD were significantly (p>0.001) larger in males (IPD: 68.30±4.24mm; IAD: 39.60±2.54mm) than in females (IPD: 65.93±3.91mm; IAD: 36.96±2.29). There was no significant correlation between any of the facial dimensions and MDW in males or females. Conclusion: For the studied population, the interpupillary, intercanthal, and interalar distances may not be used as reliable guides when determining the size of maxillary anterior teeth in complete denture construction.

Abstract

The global COVID-19 pandemic has brought attention to the profound impact of stigma on individuals, communities, and societies. Social network analysis (SNA), based on network theory, offers a transformative approach to investigate the complex interplay of social structures, relationships, and information dissemination in communicable disease contexts. This scoping review aims to examine the utilization of SNA in studying stigma dynamics related to communicable diseases, assess the current research landscape, identify gaps, and highlight key findings. Three databases (Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed) were searched for studies on SNA and stigma in communicable diseases. From the identified studies, three eligible articles were selected for review, providing insights into the role of stigma as a barrier to social integration, thereby impacting network centrality. The review also explores patterns of stigma communication on social media and examines the impact of interventions on individuals’ social networks. Overall, this review emphasizes the value of SNA in comprehending the intricate relationships between social networks and stigma in communicable disease contexts.
