The College of Dentistry at the University of Baghdad has organized a continuing education course at the Pediatric Dentistry and Preventive Medicine Branch entitled (Nutrition, oral health care and children’s disorders) in the presence of a number of faculty members in the college. The course aimed to inform the participants about the effect of the habit of dental instrument during the night in children, the harms of this habit, methods of safety and prevention of its risks, as well as identifying the genetic disease in children (Lesch-Nyhan Syndrom).
