Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to investigate the orofacial dysfunction in children who are subjected to passive smoking and to correlate its results to their saliva cotinine levels

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The participants will be recruited from the pedodontics outpatient clinic in the, Faculty of Oral and Dental Medicine, Ahram Canadian University, Egypt. The aim and the steps of the study will be explained to the guardian.

After obtaining the informed consent, the investigator will fill an administrative questionnaire, which includes parents and child's personal data, medical and dental history, a question inquiring if one of the parents smokes in the house, the frequency of smoking, smoking type, and number of cigarettes (if present).

Then, the examination of orofacial dysfunction will be evaluated by the investigator, using Nordic Orofacial Test - screen (NOT-S)
