  • Prevalence of Dental Developmental Anomalies Among Iraqi Cohorts: A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study
    Noor Abdulkareem Razouki, Basma Fathi Alanbari, Hadeel Ali Mahdi
    Al Rafidain Journal of Medical Sciences, 2025
    Background: Developmental anomalies affect oral hard and soft tissues, arising from genetic, prenatal, postnatal, environmental, and pathogenic influences. Environmental factors for dentists, updated on the epidemiology of developmental anomalies, would enhance the overall dental care provided by optimizing accurate diagnosis and personalizing the treatment. Objective: To investigate the prevalence and distribution of diverse developmental anomalies in a sample of the Iraqi population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by clinical examination of 745 systemically healthy Iraqi individuals (11-40 years) seeking dental treatment at teaching dental hospitals affiliated with Iraqi universities in Baghdad, Iraq. Results: Developmental abnormalities were found in 413(55%) of the cases, 67% of which were in males and 33% in females. Across all age groups examined, the most common developmental anomalies for both sexes were those related to the teeth. The most common dental anomaly, impaction, was found in 40% of males and 54% of females. The existence of a cusp of Carabelli (16% in males and 8% in females) was one of the other noteworthy anomalies. Anomalies relating to the bones were very rare; just 3% of males had torus mandibularis. Soft tissue anomalies were also uncommon; just 3% of females had Fordyce granules, and one male (0.4%) and one female (0.7%) had cleft lip and/or palate. Conclusions: The Iraqi population had a high prevalence of dental anomalies, among other developmental anomalies. These epidemiological findings emphasize the importance of early meticulous diagnosis of dental anomalies in patients pursuing dental treatment.
  • Effects of Valsartan on the Gingival Architecture of Rats: Histological Study
    Basma Fathi Alanbari, Noor Abdulkareem Razouki, Hadeel Ali Mahdi
    Al Rafidain Journal of Medical Sciences, 2025
    Background: Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor inhibitor prescribed to regulate heart pressure. The bulk of studies documented the impact of antihypertensive drugs on the gingival tissues; however, none have investigated the effect of valsartan on the gingival architecture. Objective: To investigate the histological effect of valsartan administration on the gingival tissue architecture in rats. Methods: Twenty Wistar male rats (2–3 months old) were randomly assigned to the control and valsartan groups. 10mg/kg/day valsartan was administered subcutaneously for two weeks. Then all the animals were sacrificed, and full-thickness samples of gingival tissue were harvested from the palatal aspect of the rat's molar teeth and prepared for examination under a microscope. Results: Although the results revealed that the valsartan group showed thicker epithelium (mean=0.1280 mm) compared to the control group, the difference did not reach statistical significance. In the lamina propria, the thickness change was statistically significant (0.07400±0.0143 mm) compared to the controls (0.0573±0.00696). The submucosa thickness measures were equivalent for both groups. The count of blood vessels showed no variation between the two experimental groups. Conclusions: Treatment with valsartan resulted in a significant increase in lamina propria thickness with no influence on epithelial thickness, submucosal thickness, or blood vessel count in rat gingival tissue.
  • Osteoinductive effect β-TCP and vitamin D3 on RUNX2 mRNA expression
    Noor Abdulkareem Razouki, Ban A. Ghani
    Asia Pacific Journal of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, 2023
    Although the autograft is regarded as the gold standard bone graft, β-TCP artificial alloplastic is widely used in bone defect healing and has been accepted in human and animal studies to be resorbed and interchanged by vital bone. The active form of vitamin D3 is calcitriol, on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) it has a direct influence on encouraging their osteogenic differentiation which is identified as osteoinductive. The need for osteoinductive ability is a demanding issue regarding medical and dental care. RUNX2 regards an essential transcriptional factor for osteoblast differentiation. Adult male New Zealand rabbits (Twenty-four) with an average weight of (1.5-2 kg) were elected in this study. Four holes were made intra-bone in both tibias of each animal. The experimental groups divide as follows: Group C: Bone defect will be left to heal naturally as control; Group TCP: Bone defect will be occupied with β-TCP. Group vitamin D3: Bone defect will be filled with vitamin D3; Group TCPD: Bone defect will be filled with a combination of β-TCP and vitamin D3. Animals sacrificed at (1 and 3 weeks). Purification of total RNA from formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE), The cDNA of RUNX2 and VDR amplify in RT-PCR and detected with sybr green. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and least significant difference (LSD) was used as a tool for statistical analysis. Results at 7 days highest mean value of mRNA RUNX2 gene expression Fold Change estimated in TCP followed by TCPD experimental group while at 21 days, the highest mean value in TCPD. All measured parameters showed highly significant differences in the course of healing periods from 7 days to 21 days. In mRNA VDR gene expression parameters showed a highly significant difference in 7days and 21 days durations among experimental groups and the highest mean value of mRNA VDR gene expression Fold Change is recorded in TCPD followed by vitamin D3 groups in both durations. These findings suggest positive inductive effects of local application of vitamin D3 combined with β-TCP as well as vitamin D3 on osteoblast cells and induced bone defect healing.
