    Abstract Aims: There is a considerable debate on the impact of qat chewing on dental and oral health. Thereby, this study aimed at assessing the dental caries among qat chewers (QC) and non-qat chewers (NQC) who attend outpatient dental clinics, College of Dentistry, Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
    Materials and methods: A sample of 100 QC and 100 NQC were recruited amongst those attended dental clinics, college of dentistry, Jazan University during the 2018-2019 academic year. Their dental health was assessed by three pre-calibrated male interns using DMFT index. The Care Index, Restorative Index and Treatment Index were calculated. Comparisons between both subgroups were done using independent t test. Multiple linear regression analyses were further conducted to stand on the independent determinants of the oral health among this population.
    Results: QC were unintentionally older (36.55 ± 8.74 years) than NQC (32.96 ± 8.49 years; P = 0.004). Fifty-six percent of QC reported brushing their teeth compared to only 35% (P = 0.001). NQC with university and postgraduate educational levels were more than QC. The mean Decayed [5.91 (5.16)] and DMFT [9.15 (5.87)] were higher among QC compared to NQC [3.73 (3.62) and 6.7 (4.58); P = 0.001 and 0.001, respectively]. The other indices were not different between both subgroups. The multiple linear regression revealed that qat chewing and age, individually or together, as independent determinants for the dental decay, missing, DMFT and TI.
    Conclusion: Qat chewing habit has a detrimental impact on dental health. It is associated with higher dental caries and missing teeth, and a lower treatment index.

    Abstract Objective: The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess whether the dimensions of the frontal air sinus correlate with skeletal malocclusion.
    Study selection: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant studies published up to May 23, 2023. The review included observational and retrospective studies that compared the dimensions of the frontal air sinus between different skeletal malocclusions. The PECOS method was used in this study ("Population, Exposure, Comparator, Outcome, and Study design"). The search was done using the following English keywords: "frontal sinus" OR "lateral cephalometric" OR "malocclusion" AND "surface area".
    Results: Seven studies were included, which involved 1101 participants, of whom 403 were class I, 375 were class II, and 323 were class III. These studies had a moderate risk of bias. The surface area of the frontal sinus in class III was significantly larger than in class I (standardized difference in means (SDM) = -0.971; 95 % CI = -1.147- -0.796; P < 0.001) and in class II (SDM = -1.535; 95 % CI = -1.732- -1.337; P < 0.001).
    Conclusion: Class III malocclusion is associated with a larger surface area of the frontal sinus compared to classes I and II.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the type of ridge (degree of angulation of the lingual concavity) and the buccolingual dimensions in the area of the first and second molars in both genders of different ages and how this will affect implant placement in the posterior mandible.
    Materials and methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study comprised cone beam computed tomography images of 150 dental patients (75 males and 71 aged ≥30). The following were measured/reported: type (morphology) of the ridge (convex [C], parallel [P], or undercut [U]), buccolingual width at the base and the crest of the ridge, and ridge height. The concavity angle, depth, and length of the U-shaped ridge were measured too.
    Results: The prevalence of type U ridge ranged from 32.7% in the first molar region to 62.7% in the second molar region. Almost all measurements and ridge type distributions were comparable amongst the age groups (p > .05). Very few significant differences were found when comparing #36 versus #37 and #46 versus #47 teeth, with no differences in the distribution of the ridge types (p > .05). Quite the inverse, all measurements were statistically different when comparing #36 versus #37 and #46 versus #47 teeth, and type U ridge was more frequent in second molar compared to the first molar regions, respectively (p < .05). Many measurements were statistically higher in females; the inverse was true for a few measurements (p < .05). Type U ridge in #36 and #37 was found more frequently among males (p < .001). In contrast, the ridge types in #37 and #47 were not statistically different gender-wise.
    Conclusions: The U type of ridge was more prevalent in the investigated population, encountered more frequently in the second molars generally and in the first molars of males than females. Most posterior mandibular measurements are similar age- and side-wise but seem different gender- and tooth-wise.

    Abstract Statement of problem: Previous studies have examined the maxillary esthetic zone for immediate implant placement, but these studies had small sample sizes and did not investigate multiple parameters.
    Purpose: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the sagittal root position (SRP), alveolar bone concavity, labial bone perforation (LBP), and tooth-ridge angle in the maxillary anterior teeth region.
    Material and methods: A total of 352 CBCT images of patients (180 men and 172 women) who visited the dental hospital between 2018 and 2023 were analyzed. The sample included 2112 anterior maxillary teeth. SRP, alveolar bone concavity, tooth ridge angle, and LBP were assessed using virtual implant simulation. The data were analyzed by using chi-squared and kappa tests to analyze distributions, independence, and dependence, t tests to assess sex and tooth-specific differences, and the Spearman correlation test to explore potential correlations (α=.05).
    Results: The CBCT images revealed that the majority of SRP were in Class I (85.4%), with smaller percentages in Class II (12.5%) and Class IV (2.3%); Class III was the least common (1%). The canine exhibited the most significant alveolar bone concavity angle average (149.14 ±6.35 degrees), followed by the lateral incisor (142.32 ±8.7 degrees). The canines had the highest occurrence of LBP (63.1%) (P<.01). Women had a higher frequency of labial bone perforation and deeper alveolar bone concavities than men (P<.01).
    Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that careful assessment and planning are necessary for immediate implant placement in the maxillary anterior region. The significant occurrence of LBP highlights the importance of thorough planning and evaluation to avoid surgical mishaps and complications which may necessitate bone grafting and result in added costs and time. Special attention should be given to women and the canine area.

    Abstract Introduction: This meta-analysis sought to identify the in vivo prevalence and influencing factors of middle mesial canal (MMC) in mandibular first and second molars based on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.
    Methods: MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO, Google Scholar databases/search engines were searched in period between 15
    Results: Out of 1122 studies, 33 studies comprised of 13,349 and 7624 mandibular first and second molars, respectively, were eligible for inclusion. Twenty studies scored high quality, while 13 scored moderate quality. The global prevalence of MMC in the first molar was 4.4% (95% CI = 0.035-0.053, P < .001), significantly higher than that of the second molar which was 1.3% (95%, CI = 0.008-0.018, P < .001). Gender, molar side, and age were not influencing factors of MMC prevalence.
    Conclusions: The prevalence of MMC is not uncommon, being higher in the mandibular first molar compared to the mandibular second molar. The prevalence of MMC is not influenced by age, molar's side, and gender.

    Abstract Objectives: A number of studies have claimed that carbonic anhydrase VI (CA VI) is associated with dental caries. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to systematically review and analyze the literature on the association of CA VI (in terms of concentration and activity) with dental caries.
    Materials and methods: A systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Relevant search terms were employed to search the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Cochrane Library databases. Eligible publications from inception to August 2022 were included. The relevant records were assessed independently by two reviewers, and a meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3.
    Results: Out of 237 relevant records from the initial search, 9 met the criteria for this review. The 9 papers, including 477 participants, were qualitatively analyzed. Seven studies with 411 participants (203 caries-free) were included in the meta-analysis on CA VI activity, and 2 studies with 141 participants (71 caries-free) were included in the meta-analysis on CA VI concentration. The results showed that CA VI activity was significantly higher among participants with caries than their caries-free counterparts (standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.894, 95% confidence interval (CI
    Conclusions: This meta-analysis of a relatively small number of studies suggests that the CA VI concentration is lower and CA VI activity is higher in patients with dental caries than in caries-free individuals; however, further studies are needed to determine the exact role of CA VI in dental caries.
