A group of the Middle East’s leading dentists have come together to agree on how best to promote good oral hygiene through brushing. Held in Dubai at the end of August and supported by Procter & Gamble, the first dental consensus has issued a series of recommendations to help improve oral hygiene in the region. These proposals, which focused on tooth brushing habits across the Middle East, include an agreement that electric power brushes are more effective at maintain- ing oral health, and that Bluetooth en- abled power brushes have the potential to encourage better oral care among children. Co-chaired by Dubai’s Hamdan Bin Mo- hammad College of Dental Medicine’s Professor Crawford Bain and Dr. Arwa Al-Sayed, Head of the Periodontics and Implants Department at Prince Sultan Military Medical City in Riyadh, the ten dentists from Lebanon, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates met for two days to discuss how best to promote better brushing habits among the region’s consumers. Research under- taken by the Dubai Healthcare Authority in February of this year showed that 80 percent of children in Dubai between the ages of 12 and 15 have unhealthy gums. The group agreed on the following rec- ommendations: 1. Evidence suggests that power brushes are more effective in the short & long term compared to manual brushes. Ac- cording to present data, over the short & long term, power brushes are better at maintaining oral health. 2. Evidence suggests that oscillating-ro- tating power brushes are superior to all Dr. Ashhad Kazi, Dr. Nabih Nader, Dr. Montasser Al-Qutub, Prof. Khaled Balto, Dr. Ajay Juneja, Dr. Nabeel Al-Sabeeha, Dr. Eftherios Kaklamanos, Bottom row left to right: Dr. Elias Berdouses, Dr. Arwa Al-Sayed, Prof. Crawford Bain, Dr. Ekaterina Fabrikant, Dr. Badar Monir Zaki > Page 41 • Career Opportunities • Job oppenings • Dental Categories www.dental-tribune.com/careers Careers iTOP - Harp instead of rock guitar Discovering the world of dental ceramics >Insertion >Insertion>Insertion Diagnosis and management of a rare case of a maxillary second molar with two palatal roots Hygiene Tribune Lab TribuneEndo Tribune
