Children’s and parents’ attitudes towards dentists’ appearance, child dental experience and their relationship with dental anxiety
Conclusion Regardless of child anxiety levels, the PPE followed by paediatric coats were preferred over other choices of dentists’ attire. Children tended to choose a dentist who was of a younger age, and of the same gender and ethnicity as themselves. Parents tended to choose younger, female dentists of the same ethnicity as themselves. Subjective experience of extractions, as well as multiple dental visits appeared to play a more significant role in the development of dental fear than dental caries experience per se.

Non-plaque-induced gingivitis associated with nicotinamide
Abstract Nicotinamide (pyridine-3-carboxamide), an amide, active form of vitamin B3, is used to treat a variety of dermatologic conditions, including skin cancer. Limited data are available regarding the adverse effects of nicotinamide in the literature. Here, we report a case of gingivitis associated with nicotinamide. A 35-year-old female patient was referred to the Department of Periodontics for the treatment of bleeding from the gums during brushing. The patient’s history revealed that she had been on 12 mg/day nicotinamide for the prophylactic treatment of skin cancer for 5 months. In the absence of an obvious cause, the condition was diagnosed as nicotinamide-associated gingivitis. After consultation with the dermatologist, the drug was stopped and the patient responded fa…
