The most common barrier to dental services was “little priority of dental care in life" which was mentioned in 89.2%of people and then "the inability to pay for dental costs"in 68.3% and "fear of dentist and pain during treatment" in about half of them. “Improper access to dental services” was mentioned in more than a quarter of people. Oral health care behavior was poor in people with history of addiction. 52% of them never brush their teeth or brush rarely. 90% of them never floss their teeth or floss rarely. 82% eat sugery food in more than two times a day and the last dental visit was more than a year ago in 68% of them.

  According to the poor oral health related behavior and and the problems that these people are involved with and due to the reasons for less dental visits, appropriate educational, preventive and therapeutic actions seem necessary to improve  the quality of life in people who are being treated for addiction.

In addition to dental problems, the increase in the average age of the population causes various diseases which affect the oral mucosa of the elderly. The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence of oral lesions and the related risk factors in the elderly residing in nursing homes in Bandar Abbas in 2018.

This descriptive-analytical study was carried out on 68 elderly people residing in nursing homes in Bandar Abbas in 2018. The obtained data were recorded in a checklist and analyzed in SPSS software (version 20) using Mann-Whitney, Chi-square, and Fisher exact tests.

Out of 68 elderly subjects, 42 (61.8%) cases were men and 26 (38.2%) were women, and the mean age was reported as 70.59 years. Oral lesions were observed in 69.1% of the subjects. The most observed lesions were pigmentation (42.6%) and the most common sites of lesions were gingiva and alveolar ridge (31.7%). Furthermore, a significant relationship was detected between the presence of oral lesions and smoking (P= 0.034).

The relatively high prevalence of oral lesions in the elderly who were investigated in the current study suggested the need for more serious follow-up and dental examinations in this population.

Background and The purpose of this study was to evaluate the oral health status in people with history of drug abuse.
This cross- sectional study was done in five addiction treatment centres located in Sari, Iran 2016-2017, using random cluster sampling. The Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth (DMFT) index was calculated for 120 samples. ANOVA, T-test, and multiple linear regression model were applied for statistical analysis.
A total of 104 men and 16 women participated in this study. The mean DMFT of subjects was 19.53±8.30 teeth. Individuals with a lower age of the onset of drug abuse, addiction period of ≥ 10 years, and those who brushed less than once a day and took sweet snacks more than three times daily had significantly higher DMFT. Statistical analysis also indicated that age, education, brushing pattern, sweet consumption, duration of drug use and the time of last dental visit showed to have a significant relationship with changes in DT, MT, and FT indexes.
Individuals with a history of drug dependence studied here, had a poor oral health status. Therefore, appropriate educational, preventive and therapeutic actions are required to improve oral health and the quality of life in people with history of drug abuse.

After completing the questionnaire by the students, the indices of mean, standard deviation and statistical tests at 5% significant level were used for data analysis.
FINDINGS: The most important effective factors in the relationship between the professor and the student from clinical students’ opinions were professors’ patience, respect for students by professors and professors’ mastery on scientific concepts and materials.
