Assessment of the Mouth

Assessment of the Mouth

A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Tooth Anatomy

Tooth Anatomy

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Scientific Publishing Ethics
Dental Research

Background:

Predatory open-access journals threaten scientific integrity, particularly for early-career researchers.
Dental interns may lack awareness of deceptive publishing practices, impacting ethical research conduct.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate dental interns' awareness of predatory journals in Riyadh.
To identify factors influencing this awareness, such as research interest and familiarity with journal evaluation tools.

Main Methods:

An analytical cross-sectional survey was administered to 155 dental interns across six Riyadh institutions.
A psychometrically validated electronic questionnaire assessed demographics, research experience, and predatory journal awareness.
Statistical analyses included chi-square tests, t-tests, and logistic regression to identify significant associations.

Main Results:

Only 47.7% of dental interns recognized the term "predatory journal"; 74.8% were unaware of Beall's List.
Awareness was significantly linked to research interest (OR=7.18) and prior invitations from predatory journals (OR=8.82).
Publication activity showed a moderate correlation (r=0.38) but did not significantly predict awareness in regression models.

Conclusions:

Dental interns in Riyadh exhibit moderate but inconsistent awareness of predatory publishing.
Gaps in ethical journal evaluation persist despite strong research interest.
Educational initiatives are crucial to enhance publishing literacy among dental professionals.
