Abstract

Objective: To determine the roles of dental personnel in the Family Care Team Policy in Lower–Northern region, Thailand. Methods: Purposively selected samples were collected from 15 dental personnel in the lower Northern region, Thailand, an in-depth, semistructured interview was conducted, and data were analyzed thematically. Results: The main roles of the dental professional team according to the Family Care Team Policy consisted of a continuous care role in the patient’s home, primary dental health services, risk screening and provision of services as needed, and health promotion and oral disease prevention. The most challenging role of the multidisciplinary dental professional team was the continuous care role at home. The dentist has a role as a complex case counselor, while the role of dental hygienist is in coordinating and supporting patient information provided to the dentist. The multidisciplinary team provides basic knowledge to caregivers regarding patient’s oral hygiene and dental care consult, and/or refers patients to the dentist in complex cases. Conclusion: The important role of the dental professional team is to support and join the Family Care Team to provide effective holistic care to patients, especially dependent elderly, disabled, and end-of-life patients, thus, constituting a multidisciplinary team which is the most challenging role of dental professionals.

Abstract

Few studies have reported the role of motivation in patient adherence to dental-care programmes or dental home care and prevention of oral disease, particularly in Indonesia. Objective: To cross-adapt the Self-Regulation for Dental Home Care Questionnaire (SRDHCQ) to the Indonesian version, and to study self-regulation for dental home care among adolescents. Methods: The SRDHCQ was cross culturally adapted to the Indonesian adolescents aged 12-13 years old to test its reliability and validity. Intraoral examination was conducted by a single examiner to analyse the number of decayed teeth. The SRDHCQ contains 22 questions with a 7-point scale, which comprises of integrated, identified, introjected, external regulation and amotivation domains. Respondents were randomly selected from 11 junior high schools at six districts in Jakarta. Results: Total respondents studied were 317 students, with prevalence of 71% of the students having decayed teeth, and average number decayed teeth was 2.1. The test and test-retest reliability and Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency were 0.838 and 0.929, respectively. No significant difference was observed in total SRDHCQ scores between genders. Construct and discriminant validity analysis showed significant results. Conclusions: Our results support the reliability and validity of the Indonesian SRDHCQ for adolescents in Indonesia.

Abstract

Objective: Marginal microleakage detection is performed to prevent secondary caries. The present study aimed to determine the difference in the accuracy between conventional and digital radiography methods in detecting marginal microleakage and the radiopacity measurement of restoration material. Methods: We used 44 anterior maxillary teeth after extraction that had been filled with class III glass ionomer cement and then planted in paraffin wax blocks. These samples were then systematically exposed using conventional and digital indirect periapical radiography techniques. Microleakage detection was measured using three marginal microleakage scales. The level of radiopacity of restoration material was measured using ImageJ software and calculated using the standard radiopacity value calculation formula. All data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test. Results: Outcome data demonstrated that there was no difference (p = 0.6) between the two radiography techniques in detecting mi- croleakage of restoration. However, radiopacity measurements revealed a significant difference (p = 0.0) between these two radiography techniques in their ability to determine radiopacity. Conclusion: The results suggest that there is no difference between conventional and digital indirect periapical radiography techniques in detecting microleakage of restoration material; however, a high radiopacity level was found from the digital indirect radi- ography technique.

Abstract

Human papilloma virus (HPV) family include approximately 150 known subtypes of viruses that can infect humans and other animals. Among these, HPV-16 is known for its association with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), particularly within the oropharynx. HPV 16 genotype can be found in a variety of oral lesions, its presence being frequently observed in papillomas. Treatment of oral papillomas can sometimes be challenging as HPVs tend to shed to different oral sites, causing multifocal lesions. Moreover, HPV-related lesions tend to recur if incompletely removed. Several light-amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser) wavelenghts are currently used in dentistry as surgical tools both on soft and hard tissues. Among these diode laser is one of the most used. Advantages of laser surgery include, among others, good precision, optimal hemostasis, possible biostimulative and antibacterial effects and a reduced post-operative discomfort. Here we report the case of a 26-year old man with multiple, recurrent p-16 positive papillomatous lesions, which was successfully treated through diode laser (445 nm) surgery.

Abstract

To assess the oral health status and oral hygiene habits of the dependent elderly in Muang Phitsanulok, Thailand. Methods: 70 dependent elderly with an activity of daily living score of 0 - 4 were selected for this study using a convenience sampling technique. Both participants and their caregivers were interviewed and an oral examination was carried out on all subjects. Information regarding demographics, oral health care habits, and oral health status including dental caries, remaining dentition, and occluding pairs of teeth was collected. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics. Results: Results showed that 82.1% of the participants had at least one carious lesion. 62.9% of subjects possessed their natural dentition, however 52% of those did not have any occluding teeth. The majority of the edentulous group were categorised as a low socioeconomic status. Interestingly, none of the dentate group reported ever flossing their teeth, 31.9% brushed their teeth twice daily, and 14.3% reported that they did not employ any oral hygiene methods. Additionally, it was found that the caregivers played a major role in the oral health care of the dependent elderly. Conclusion: The oral health of the dependent elderly is generally poor, especially amongst the low socioeconomic community. The subject’s declining dexterity and increase of general health risks limits their ability to maintain acceptable oral health.

Abstract

Oral cancer is a progressive, multistage disease in which changes in genetic structure and cellular morphology occur from the normal to the premalignant state and then to the malignant state. Nitric oxide (NO.) is an uncharged molecule with an unpaired electron. It is highly reactive and interacts with DNA molecules, resulting in DNA damage. Objective: To evaluate the salivary nitric oxide levels and buccal epithelial cell DNA damage in patients with potentially malignant oral disorders. Methods: The salivary nitric oxide levels and buccal epithelial cell DNA damage were estimated in 20 healthy individuals without oral lesions, in 20 subjects having smoking and/or tobacco chewing habits without oral lesions, and 20 patients with a potentially malignant oral disorder. Results: The salivary nitric oxide levels were significantly greater in the subjects with tobacco chewing and/or smoking habits without oral lesions than in the healthy controls. Similarly, the extent of DNA damage was higher in the subjects with potentially malignant disorders and in the subjects with tobacco chewing and/or smoking habits without oral lesions than in the healthy controls. Conclusion: The encouraging results of the present study indicated the potential involvement of nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of potentially malignant oral disorders.

Abstract

Myoepithelioma, a benign tumor, occurs with a frequency of 1.5% among all salivary gland tumors, and it most commonly affects the parotid gland. Nearly the entire epithelium is composed of neoplastic myoepithelial cells exhibiting spindle, plasmacytic, epithelial-like, and clear cells. Case Report: A 52-year-old woman with myoepithelioma of the palate. The patient was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of swelling on the right side of the palate. Following clinical and intraoral examinations, the tumor was removed under general anesthesia. Viewed microscopically, the tumor was seen to be surrounded by a fibrous membrane, primarily composed of a solid growth of neoplastic myoepithelial cells, virtually surrounding a hyaline-like eosinophilic substance. Immunohistochemical examination revealed strongly-positive reactions by the tumor cells for wide-spectrum cytokeratin (CK wide), vimentin, and S-100 proteins. CK 7, smooth muscle actin (SMA), p63, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) gave weakly-positive reactions. Conclusion: Based on the findings, a pathological diagnosis of myoepithelioma was reached.

Abstract

Mucoceles are considered to be the most common oral lesion, with an approximate prevalence of around 2.4 cases per 1,000 people. The exact prevalence in children is not reported, but they are thought to occur more frequently in younger individuals when compared to adults. The age old treatment for mucocele involves surgical excision, which is associated with mental trauma and discomfort to the patient. Other treatment options that can be considered include cryosurgery, CO2 laser ablation, micro marsupialization, intralesional corticosteroid injection, marsupialization and electrocautery. Cryosurgery is the procedure where there is deliberate destruction of tissue by freezing, using liquid nitrogen. This treatment is well received by patients, as minimal or no local anesthesia is used, relative lack of discomfort, no bleeding and minimal to no scarring after healing. This paper presents two cases of oral mucocele treated by surgical excision and cryosurgery. The procedures and the results of the two treatment are presented and discussed.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of alkaline peroxide-type denture cleanser agents on the microbial profile, namely Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Candida species, in maxillary complete dentures. Methods: A total of 20 patients with maxillary complete dentures were recruited. Three denture cleanser agents were selected (n = 5): Polident® (P); Steradent® (S); and Pearlie White® (PW), with distilled water (DW) as control. Dentures were brushed before immersion with denture cleansers. Denture biofilm was collected from the palatal impression surface of the denture before and after immersion. The collected microorganisms were cultured and colony-forming units (CFU) were counted. Results: Significant reduction in the numbers of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus was observed after immersion with all denture cleanser agents (p< 0.05). On the other hand, no denture cleanser was significantly effective against Candida species ( p>0.05). Furthermore, S was more effective among other cleansers compared to DW (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Immersion of dentures in denture cleansers can reduce the amount of microorganisms on denture surfaces; thus, leading to effective denture hygiene. Steradent® denture cleanser showed the highest percentage reduction of polymicrobial organisms.

Abstract

Nevus of Ota is a dermal melanocytic nevus which is characterized by benign hamartomatous hyperpigmentation. Clinically it presents as a congenital or acquired blue or gray patch on the face and is distributed on the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular branches of the trigeminal nerve. It is most commonly found in Japanese populations and is rare in the Indian subcontinent. It affects only 0.014 – 0.034% of the Asian population and is less common in the male population, with a male to female ratio of 1.4:8. The involvement of pigmentation over the pinna of the ear and the oral mucosa is extremely rare with very few cases reported in scientific literature. The case reported here is a case of nevus of Ota, with a rare intraoral presentation on the hard palate, crossing the midline.
