Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Investigating the effect of handedness on the dental caries pattern, gingival index and plaque index in 6-10 years old children Dr.Saeedeh Mokhtari, Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatric Dentistry, School of Dentistry, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Dr.Iman Sanati, Private practice, Tehran, Iran. Dr.Somayeh Alamdari, General Practitioner, Private Practice. Objectives: It seems that the right-handed and left-handed individuals have different ability in brushing and removing plaque at different areas of the mouth. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of handedness on dental caries pattern, gingival and plaque indices in 6-10 years old children. Methods: Children with 6-10 years old age who had inclusion criteria were selected. Handedness of the subjects was determined using Edinburg method. Dental caries, plaque and gingival indices were also measured and recorded for each child. Then the relationship between handedness and the recorded variables were evaluated. Results: The results showed that there is no significant relationship between any of the variables with being left or right-handed. A significant relationship was observed only between the lowest plaque index and handedness (P.value < 0.05). Conclusion: A relationship cannot be considered between handedness of children and their oral health status. Take:away notes: According to this issue, the methods of oral hygiene education and strategies for prevention need no differences with each other in the right-handed and left-handed people to being conducted enough removing plaque at different areas of the mouth.

Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : This a good travel for me as a participant that attends in this congress. The procedure for getting VISA was very complicated and time consuming. I got my VISA in the last minutes. I get the help of an agency for getting ticket and booking the hotel. Because there wasn’t direct flight to Valencia so at first H went to Barcelona, I stayed there to two days and then H went to Valencia for the conference. There wasn’t any Iranian participant except me. But instead it was an opportunity to become familiar with other scientific participants from other countries and sharing their experience and I could hear about their experience face to face. My husband and little son were also with me in this travel and so it was a good trip for science and enjoy! However traveling with a one year old infant was a little difficult for us; especially during the flight because it was almost a long time for a baby to stay in the plane( about 5 hours). But hopefully everything was done well. For coming back to Iran, again first I had a flight to Barcelona and then I returned to Tehran with Mahan airline from Barcelona.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : It was a good experience for me. Researchers from many countries presented their works in field of dentistry and oral health in " international conference on dentistry and oral health " which were very interesting and informative. The congress gave us the opportunity to share our experiences regarding our problematic cases and issues. it was very well organized ,Considering my own observations and outcomes of the congress, I can tell that it was a great and interesting experience for my academic major. All programs were done according to the conference schedule. The participants presented their work in the best way possible whether poster or oral presentation and I found the opportunity to get new approaches for my research.
