Abstract

Introduction: Central diastema is often a concern for patients due to aesthetic issues that affect their confidence, especially when smiling. One of the causes of central diastema is a high attachment of the frenulum, penetrating the papilla of the hard palate. The appropriate procedure to eliminate a high frenulum attachment is frenectomy, which with minimal bleeding can be performed using the incision below the clamp (IBC) technique.Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the incision below the clamp (IBC) technique as an alternative option for frenectomy procedures in correcting a central diastema caused by an aberrant labial frenum attachment.Case: A 30-year-old female patient complained that her front teeth had become spaced again after fixed orthodontic treatment three years ago. On objective examination, the superior labial frenulum was found to penetrate up to the papilla of the hard palate, causing a central diastema between teeth 11 and 21. A frenectomy was performed using the IBC method, which has the advantage of minimal bleeding. After the initial phase of treatment, the patient was educated on the need for frenectomy. During the next visit, the patient was asked to fill out the informed consent form, and the frenectomy procedure was performed using a scalpel.Outcome: The IBC method was carried out by making an incision at the base of the frenulum, which had been clamped. Evaluation of the results was carried out up to 8 months after treatment. By the sixth month, spontaneous closure of the central diastema was observed. At the eighth-month follow-up, no recurrence of the aberrant labial frenum attachment or central diastema was detected.Conclusion: The diastema was corrected, and the patient is satisfied with the treatment results. The IBC technique can be an alternative option for frenectomy procedures.

Abstract

Introduction: Dense Bone Island (DBI), or idiopathic osteosclerosis, is an asymptomatic radiopaque lesion often found incidentally during radiographic exams. Its etiology is linked to bone maturation, though not fully understood. The purpose of this report is to describe the radiographic identification of DBI in an elderly patient.Objective: To report a case of Type III and IV DBI in the mandible and discuss its radiographic differentiation from other pathologies.Case: A 62-year-old female patient underwent panoramic radiography, which revealed well-defined, homogeneous radiopaque lesions in the edentulous regions of teeth 37 and 47; while another radiopaque lesion was found at the apical region of tooth 44. The lesions were classified as Type III DBI as they were separate from any teeth or lamina dura and Type IV DBI since it was around root apex.Outcome: Accurate identification through panoramic imaging allowed for a definitive diagnosis without the need for invasive procedures.Conclusion: Panoramic radiography is an effective tool for identifying DBI, and recognizing its specific features is vital to avoid unnecessary interventions.

Abstract

Background: The increasing use of electronic cigarettes (vapes) among young adults has become an emerging public health concern. Although vaping has gained popularity in Malaysia, evidence regarding cigarette smoking, vape use, and perceptions towards vaping among university students remains limited.Objective: This study aimed to investigate the patterns of cigarette smoking, vape use, and dual use among Malaysian university students and to assess their perceptions towards vaping.Methods: An exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted among university students in Malaysia using convenience sampling. A validated and pretested online questionnaire was distributed via email. Data on demographic characteristics, tobacco use behaviours, and perceptions towards vaping were collected and analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the data, while Pearson's Chi-square test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed where appropriate. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.Outcome: Ninety-two university students participated in the study. Most respondents were non-smokers (70.7%), while 9.8% were cigarette smokers, 13.0% were exclusive vapers, and 6.5% were dual users. Cigarette smokers were predominantly male and Malay, whereas exclusive vape use was reported equally by males and females. Most respondents perceived vaping to be as harmful as cigarette smoking (p = 0.023) and disagreed that vaping is a better method for smoking cessation (p = 0.018). Among tobacco users, socialising was the most commonly reported reason for cigarette smoking and vaping.Conclusion: Cigarette smoking, vape use, and dual use were relatively uncommon among the university students surveyed.  Most respondents perceived vaping to be as harmful as cigarette smoking and did not consider it a more effective method for smoking cessation.

Abstract

Background: Impaction of the maxillary canine and mandibular second premolar ranks among the most common dental impactions after third molars. However, the simultaneous occurrence of both in a single patient is relatively rare.Objective: To present the clinical management of concomitant impacted maxillary canine and mandibular second premolar using a combined surgical approach, emphasizing the importance of appropriate surgical intervention in facilitating subsequent orthodontic alignment.Case: A 19-year-old female presented with irregularly aligned teeth and sought orthodontic treatment. Examination revealed anterior crossbite, ectopic maxillary canine, multiple caries, retained root of tooth 75, persistence of tooth 53, and missing tooth 35. Radiographs confirmed impaction of tooth 13 and tooth 35, with the canine positioned palatally. A multidisciplinary pre-orthodontic treatment plan included extraction of tooth 35 due to space deficiency and surgical exposure of tooth 13 following removal of tooth 53. Procedures were performed under local anesthesia with appropriate pharmacological management.Outcome: The surgical phase was completed without complications. The patient showed good postoperative recovery and compliance. Orthodontic treatment has been initiated but remain ongoing, with alignment of the impacted canine planned in subsequent stages.Conclusion: Pre-orthodontic surgical management in essential for facilitating orthodontic outcomes. Careful planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and staged treatment are critical, particularly in rare combined impaction cases
