To achieve this aim 45 patients undergoing fixed orthodontic therapy were divided into 3 equal groups randomly which were on tooth brushing only, tooth brushing with 0.2% sodium fluoride and tooth brushing with 0.2% chlorhexidinemouthrinses. The second group rinse with 10 ml of sodium fluoride once weekly for 8 weeks, while the third group rinse with 10 mi of chlorhexidine twice daily for the same period, the plaque and gingival indices were scored at base-line and then evaluated after 4 and 8 weeks. The present study revealed that the mean plaque index was significantly reduce (p<0.05) for the chlorhexidine and sodium fluoride patients in comparison with the first group throughout period of study. A similar trend was noted with gingival index as the lower values were recorded to the chlorhexidine groups, moreover, analysis of variance showed significant differences among groups and the chlorhexidine means were the mostly affected one. These results indicate that sodium fluoride could be use also for plaque and gingivitis control in addition to its anticariogenic action for patient undergoing orthodontic treatment.University of MosulAl-Rafidain Dental Journal1812-12171220200803Examination, diagnostic chart, and computer-aided diagnosis of partially edentulous patientالفحص والمخطط التشخیصی والتشخیص بمساعدة الکمبیوتر لمریض عدیم الأسنان جزئیا9310316602910.33899/rden.2020.166029ENNadira AHATIMReem AAL-JARAHAnhar KAL-QADDOJournal Article20200803<strong>ABSTRACT </strong><br /> Examination and diagnostic charts of previous studies had concentrated on certain factors and ignored others, which affect on the suggestion and sequence of sound treatment plans besides that several different computer programs have been developed to aid in dental decision making.<br /> The goals of this paper were to prepare a diagnostic chart especially for partially edentulous patients, that help dentists make decisions in terms of diagnosis and treatment planning by using visual basic version 5.0 to design a special program for this study to improve patient care by helping the dentist make better decisions in vastly increasing field of knowledge in dentistry to help dentist for future research about the most popular and complex diseases and how to treat it, to help other Ministries, Ministry of higher education, and Ministry of health and special clinician in the application of Removable Prosthetic Diagnostic computer Program (RPDcP).<br /> A program was designed specially for this study by using visual basic version 5.0.This program contains (41) program forms, (255 fields) of examination and diagnosis of partially edentulous patients. The program was applied clinically. The results were statistically analyzed by using principal component analysis and linear combination to explain the whole variation to the original data.<br /> The program had capabilities of production, storage, retrieval, scanning, browsing to permit integration of other documents or pictorial representations.University of MosulAl-Rafidain Dental Journal1812-12171220200803Chewing Khat and periodontal health status in Dhamar - Yemenمضغ القات والحالة الصحیة للثة فی ذمار - الیمن10411216603010.33899/rden.2020.166030ENBasman AKHALILJournal Article20200803The clinical examination involves eighty one males Yemenis, in Dhamar of age 15-45 years old and of similar and regular daily habit of chewing Khat unilaterally at the left side of the oral cavity to enjoy the amphetamin - like effect of Khat as a stimulant in a company with their friends under special environment & social rules in Yemen since a lot of years ago.<br /> The sample was divided equally into three age groups, (15-24 years), (25-34 years) and (35-45 years). The periodontal health status examined clinically to measure the plaque index, gingival index and periodontal pocket depth.<br /> Measurements divided into three groups, non - chewing right site of the mandible, and chewing left buccal site and chewing left lingual site of the mandible in the same individual.<br /> The periodontal health status according to the three parameters, revealed that the scores at the chewing site were higher than that at the non - chewing site, and higher buccally than lingually at the same chewing site.<br /> With the age and prolong abuse of Khat chewing, the scores increased and the periodontal pocket depth significantly differed in the age group (35-45 years) than the (15-24 years) and (25-34 years), age group.<br /> The periodontal pockets were significantly higher buccally than lingually at the same chewing site, may be due to the manner of Khat chewing, where the leaves of Khat accumulate gradually and held in the lower buccal pouch unilaterally in a bolus for several hours daily.University of MosulAl-Rafidain Dental Journal1812-12171220200803Localized hyperplastic lesions of the oral mucosa: A clinico - pathological studyالآفات المتضخمة الموضعیة للغشاء المخاطی للفم: عیادة - دراسة مرضیة11312816603110.33899/rden.2020.166031ENSabah MSAKAJournal Article20200804A retrospective study of (96) cases of mucosal hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity was carried out.

Seventy five wax disc-shaped samples were prepared. These discs were divided into three groups, (25) in each. The first group was casted with CB-Bland 72 alloy, the second with CB-soft alloy, and the third group with Kera - N alloy. For surface treatment procedures each group was divided into five subgroups, five samples in each: the first subgroup was sandblasted with (50) μm Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> plus electrolytical etching. The second subgroup only electrolytically etched; the third subgroup sandblasted with (50) μmAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. The fourth subgroup sandblasted with (100) μm Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, and the fifth subgroup received no surface treatment. The metal discs were bonded to the labial surface of upper central and lateral incisors using intermediate resin and adhesive luting cement. The samples were thermocycled between (5-60) C°± (2) C° for (500) cycles at (1) minute dwell time and then stored in distilled water in an incubation at (37) C° for seven days. After that the shear - bond strength were tested.
The results showed that the mean shear-bond strength of CB-Bland 72 alloy was found to be greater than that of Kera - N and CB-Soft alloys, and surface treatment with (100) μmAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> procedure exhibit the highest bond strength.University of MosulAl-Rafidain Dental Journal1812-12171220200803Coronal microleakage of root canal filled teeth pretreated with ferrie-oxalate or dental bonding agentالتسرب المجهری التاجی للأسنان الملیئة بقناة الجذر والمعالج مسبقًا باستخدام مادة ferrie-oxalate أو عامل ربط الأسنان16016516604310.33899/rden.2020.166043ENSuhad JAL-SHEMMARYMajidah KAL-HASHIMIJournal Article20200807An In vitro study was carried out to compare the effects of the Smear layer and the pretreatment of the foot canal wall with tubular occluding desensitizing agent (6% ferric-oxalate) or a bonding agent on the coronal seal of endodontically treated teeth.
Seventy freshly extracted human teeth with single and straight canals were used in This study. The teeth were divided into five experimental groups: twelve teeth each, withone positive and one negative control for each. Group I: With intact smear layer, Group II: Without smear layer. Group III: With intact smear layer and with ferric-oxalate painting of the canal walls. Group IV: Without smear layer and with ferric-oxalate painting of the canal walls. Group V: Without smear layer and with bonding agent.
After canal obturation the access cavities were exposed to natural saliva then Pelikan ink. Teeth were cleared and linear dye penetration measured. The results showed that the removal of the smear layer significantly increased the tightness of the coronal seal, and pretreatment of the canal walls with ferric-oxalate significantly decreased the coronal microleakage more than with or without smear layer. Using the bonding agent with a hydrophilic primer, after removing the smear layer, showed significantly less microleakage than all other groups.

Results showed that the mean dmft for (4-6) years old was (2.63) and it was decreasing with increasing age to (119) in 10-12 years old.
There was a decline in dental caries with age, this was statistically significant at (5%) level, while no significant differences in dental caries experience was found between males and females.
The prevalence of rampant caries in age group (4-6) years was (11.3%), the females reported a higher prevalence than males (16.6% and 5.4%) respectively.
