The World Health Organization (WHO) aims to strengthen oral health promotion and disease prevention around the globe. The prevalence and association of systemic diseases and oral diseases has been reported. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to investigate prevalence of medical conditions and oral diseases in elderly Thai dental patients. Methods: Three hundred dental records of patient aged 60 years old and older were retrospectively reviewed. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s Chi-square and Fisher›s exact test with the significant level at p < 0.05. Results: All of them were Thai of 142 males (47.3%) and 158 females (52.7%). Their age ranged between 60 and 85 years old with an average age of 66.1 ± 5.4 years old. Two third of patients had the history of systemic diseases (66.3%) and hypertension (10.3%) was the predominant one. Eighty-nine percent of patients had oral health problems. Fifteen percent were currently on antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs, and 15.4% had the history of drug allergy. The most prevalent oral diseases were tooth loss (87.7%) followed by periodontal diseases (80.0%), tooth wear (66.0%), dental caries (65.3%) and pulp diseases (54.0%). The prevalence of oral mucosal lesions, temporomandibular disorder and orofacial pain were 23.7%, 1.6% and 1.6%, respectively. Conclusion: The present study provides the information of medical conditions and oral diseases in a group of older Thai dental patients in the lower northern Thailand.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine the clinical profile of the gingival lesions of oral lichen planus (OLP) in a group of Thai patients. Methods: The dental records of 67 patients were reviewed. Results: In this study, 51 (76.1%) women and 16 (23.9%) men with a female-to-male ratio of 3.2:1 were included. The average age of patients with OLP was 56.0 ± 12.5 years (ranged = 20–81 years). Furthermore, 52 (77.6%) patients had a history of systemic diseases, and hypertension was predominant. All the patients presented with symptomatic OLP. Multiple OLP lesions were observed in 56 (83.6%) individuals, and single gingival OLP was found in 11 (16.4%) individuals. Among these lesions, 38.8% of reticular and atrophic forms of gingival OLP were primarily detected. Mixed and single clinical forms of gingival OLP were found in 37 (55.2%) and 30 (44.8%) patients, respectively. None of the patients had a family history of OLP, extraoral involvement, or malignant transformation. In addition, 64 (95.5%) patients with gingival OLP were treated with topical steroid, and only 1 (1.5%) patient was treated with a combination of topical and systemic steroids. Conclusion: This study provided information beneficial to OLP diagnosis by general dental practitioners and specialists during a routine oral examination.

Abstract

Odontomas are one of the most frequently found odontogenic tumors that consist of dental tissues. Odontomas have been classified into two types: compound and complex odontomas. They are usually discovered on routine radiographic examination. In rare cases, the odontoma erupt into the oral cavity, called an erupted odontoma. The first case was published in 1980, and since then, there have been not more than 50 cases being reported in the literature. Most of the reported cases are erupted complex odontoma. This case report represents a rare case of an erupted compound odontoma in a young patient who came with the complaint of esthetics in the lower left posterior teeth.
