Abstract
BACKGROUND Denture adhesives (DAs) enhance denture retention and stability, thus improving functions of removable prostheses. However, the adverse effects of DAs on denture foundation area were also reported. The clinical use of DAs among dentists has not been investigated in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate utilization of DAs and associated factors among dental practitioners in Saudi Arabia. METHODS This cross-sectional study included dental professionals practicing in both public and private sectors in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. A self-administered pilot tested questionnaire was distributed among participants. The questionnaire has questions related to demographic information, knowledge and awareness, and the utilization of DAs. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed. RESULTS The study included 279 participants with a response rate of 79.03%. The majority of participants (61.6%) were below 35 years of age, males (56.6%), general dentists (57.3%), and worked in the private sector (59.9%). Less than half of the participants (39.4%) used DAs in their dental practice, and 64.5% recommended using DAs when needed. The most reported complications of DAs included inflammation (58.40%), ulcers (35.10%), and whitish color (31.20%) of denture foundation area. A vast majority (83.90%) reported that DAs improve retention of the dentures. About 55.2% of the participants were taught about DAs in their undergraduate programs, 12.5% attended continuing education, and 21.5% updated their knowledge about DAs. Multiple logistic regression showed that those who attended continuing education activities (adjusted OR = 2.41, p = 0.036) and updated their knowledge about DAs (adjusted OR = 4.43, p = < 0.001) were significantly more likely to use DAs in their dental practice. CONCLUSION A minority of dental practitioners used DAs in their practices. Attending continuing education programs and updating knowledge of DAs were significantly associated with DAs utilization.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is primarily a respiratory illness and pulmonary manifestations are the typical presentations of the disease. However, it became evident that the COVID-19 is not limited to the respiratory system. Specifically, gastrointestinal involvement in patients with COVID-19 is very common, particularly in patients with a critical illness. We present a case of a 52-year-old man who was diagnosed as having severe COVID-19 pneumonia and underwent endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. The patient remained in the intensive care unit for seven days. Following his recovery, he started to experience generalized abdominal pain. The pain did not resolve with conservative measures. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen demonstrated small bowel loops clustered with a surrounding thin membrane. Such findings conferred the diagnosis of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis. The patient was prepared for laparoscopic surgery. Resection of the membrane was performed without any injury to the encapsulated bowel. Analysis of peritoneal fluid by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The patient had an uneventful recovery. Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a very rare condition associated with COVID-19 pneumonia. The present case is the first reported case to document the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the peritoneal fluid in a patient with sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis.
