Commentary on the article 'Understanding Muslim patients: cross-sectional dental hygiene care'

Ahmed Ali Musrati. Int J Dent Hyg. 2015 Aug.

Abstract

I have read with interest the article ''Understanding Muslim patients: cross-sectional dental hygiene care'' by ML Sirois et al. In the time that I see their article as a faithful, unbiased image showing a Muslim's religious life and conduct from the oral and systemic health perspective, I still have two main concerns about certain facts which were denoted with imprecise connotations. These are related to food and Ramadan fasting.

Keywords: Muslim patients; commentary; precise terms.
