Erectile dysfunction (ED) and periodontitis have common risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus and tobacco smoking. Multiple reports are available in regard to the association between ED and chronic periodontitis (CP). The study aimed to determine the association of ED and CP in selected Malaysian population. In this study, 74 patients (mean age = 52.4 ± 10.9 years old) diagnosed with ED, from scores via the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire, were included. ED severity was classified as mild, mild to moderate, moderate, and severe. Periodontal condition was recorded using basic periodontal examination (BPE) method, of which scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 were associated with having no periodontitis while a score of 4 was considered to have periodontitis. There are 40 (54.1%) subjects found to have periodontitis and the association of ED and periodontitis showed a moderate positive degree of correlation, ρ = 0.487 (p < 0.001). The percentage of subjects having periodontitis indicated an increasing trend with the severity of ED; from 19.0% (mild ED), 54.2% (mild to moderate ED), 75.0% (moderate ED), to 84.6% (severe ED). A greater degree of correlation was noted between dental scaling experience and ED, ρ = 0.635 (p < 0.001). Binomial logistic regression had shown no other co-morbidities and factors were affecting this relation. There seemed to be an association between ED and periodontitis existing in these selected Malaysian populations.

Using laser for treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DH) have recently shown promising results and better immediate reduction in pain scores. However, its efficacy and mechanism of action is controversial. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of diode laser compared with sodium fluoride varnish in treating DH in patients with gingival recession. Eighteen patients with Miller’s class I and class II gingival recession and hypersensitivity in at least two non-adjacent teeth were included in the study. Test surfaces (n = 25) were treated with diode laser, whilst control surfaces (n = 23) were treated with 5% sodium fluoride varnish. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores were recorded for air and tactile stimulus for both groups at baseline, 15 min, 1 month and 3 months post-treatment. Results showed significant (p < 0.05) reduction in VAS scores at 15 min, 1 month and 3 months compared with baseline in both test and control surfaces, with no significant intergroup differences. However, the percentage reduction in DH was more in laser at all evaluation periods. The use of diode laser and sodium fluoride varnish showed good immediate and prolonged results. Further studies are needed to come up with more effective treatment methods.

Implant periapical lesion (IPL) is also known as retrograde peri-implantitis and as the name suggests, it involves inflammation surrounding the apical part of the dental implants. Previously, many studies have reported the event of IPL that further delays osseointegration, and some reported failure of implant placement due to this disease. In this article, we described two cases of early dental implant failure that was associated with active IPL and correlated the clinical and radiographical findings with the histopathological findings.

Various grafting materials are utilised to facilitate regeneration. There is currently a paradigm shift towards applying poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), which is regarded as an excellent scaffold for tissue engineering. Concentrated growth factor (CGF) has also been reported to promote wound healing. Nevertheless, the role of PLGA microspheres as a substitute for bone graft material with CGF in bone regeneration remains unclear. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of CGF with PLGA on bone formation and the expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) following socket preservation. PLGA microspheres were prepared using double solvent evaporation method and observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A 6 mL of rabbit’s blood was collected from the marginal ear vein and centrifuged to obtain CGF. Blood was also collected for ALP assessment from 24 New Zealand White (NZW) male rabbits subjected to the first upper left premolar extraction. Sockets were filled with CGF, PLGA, CGF+PLGA or left empty and observed with microscopic computed tomography (micro-CT) at four weeks and eight weeks. The SEM image revealed a spherical shape with interconnected pores on the surface of the PLGA particles. Repeated measures ANOVA were used to evaluate the effect of time and treatment (p < 0.05) with significant differences in bone width, height, volume, volume fraction and expression of ALP was observed with CGF+PLGA. Both CGF and PLGA have the potential as the alternative grafting materials and this study could serve as an ideal benchmark for future investigations on the role of CGF+PLGA in bone regeneration enhancement.

Periodontal disease, generally known as a silent disease, is one of the major global oral health burdens that contributes to tooth loss in adults. This study was to compare findings and agreement between periodontal self-examination (SE) and self-reported (SR) assessments in detection of periodontal disease among selected adult patients in Kuala Lumpur. The subjects were patients who attended the periodontic clinics in Faculty of Dentistry, UKM. Periodontal patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned into two groups, SE and SR groups. Patients in the SE group performed a periodontal SE using illustrated written manual with questionnaire, while those in the SR group answered questionnaire. Both groups were given similar content of questionnaire. Clinical oral examinations were carried out on all patients by a single trained calibrated examiner. A total of 172 patients (86 in each group) participated in the study with the mean age of 48 years (SD 12.6). Majority of them had severe periodontal disease. Only item “total number of teeth” had showed good agreement (p < 0.01) between groups. SR group showed higher sensitivity for all items (mobility, colour, recession and bleeding). Meanwhile, the SE group demonstrated higher specificity for items on mobility, recession and bleeding. Both SR and SE assessment areas were reliable in measuring total number of teeth in periodontal patients. SR assessment is more sensitive in detecting periodontal disease in terms of items for mobility, colour, recession and bleeding.

Alveolar ridge preservation is a surgical procedure aimed to preserve the alveolar bone after tooth extraction to eliminate or reduce the need for bone augmentation during implant placement. It includes the use of membrane that is either being used alone or in combination with a bone replacement graft. This case report describes the technique of alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction using a xenogenic bone graft combined with a resorbable collagen membrane, and the fabrication of an anterior fibre-reinforced composite (FRC) bridge in an 18-year-old male patient. This treatment allows him to have a good preservation of the volume and architecture of the alveolar ridge as well as soft tissues and temporarily replace a missing anterior tooth until a definitive restoration can be achieved.

At present, with an increasing number of implants placed, peri-implant diseases are also increasing. The inclusion of peri-implant disease in the latest classification of periodontal disease shows the global significance of the disease in addition to periodontal disease. Management for peri-implantitis is more complicated and similar to periodontitis, and bone loss is irreversible. Numerous studies throughout the decades were conducted using various techniques investigating the best method in treating periimplantitis. Therefore, this article will explore the latest evidence for peri-implantitis and its management.

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have been in demand among young generations as a modern way of smoking since last decade. E-cigarette devices generate the vapour through the heating process and the inhalation of vapour through the mouth which is known as vaping directly exposed the oral cavity to potentially toxic chemicals in the vapour. The e-cigarette vapour has been reported with potential systemic and oral health impacts though it is to a lesser extent than the conventional cigarette. The toxicity of the chemicals in e-cigarette vapour has been highlighted by various in-vitro studies and currently being explored by many researchers. Nicotine content in e-cigarette vapour not only causes addiction but has deleterious effects on the oral mucosa. E-cigarette vapour is commonly associated with oral health-related problems such as irritation to the oral mucosa, periodontal disease, and possibly the initiation of dental caries. As a marketing strategy, e-cigarette has been promoted as a safer way of smoking habit and use as a smoking cessation tools. Non-scientific assertions regarding e-cigarettes are causing public misunderstanding, leading people to assume that they are safe while the truth is yet unclear. This narrative review aims to emphasise the hazard of e-cigarette vapour and the outcome to oral health by summarising the evidence gathered from previous studies and the potential role of e-cigarette for smoking cessation aids considering the widespread usage of e-cigarettes and public concerns.

The main objective of this study was to ascertain and characterise different articles published in the field of dentistry based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging technique. The search was performed using Scopus database to generate publications relevant to usage of CBCT in relation to dentistry. Additional data comprising of citation information, bibliographic information, abstract, keywords and other information was also included. Bibliometric pointers such as citation and documents, authors, journals and keywords were also investigated. About 411 research papers were available from 2004 and 2020 and were further analysed using VOSviewer 1.6.15. A gradual increase in the number of publications can be seen, however in 2018, highest number of papers was published. USA, Turkey and Brazil were the topmost countries making substantial contributions. The most productive organisation was University of Michigan School of Dentistry, USA. Journal of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology was the most preferred journals by authors. This is one of first bibliometric analysis that aims to identify different research articles published in the field of dentistry that focused on CBCT. This study will be helpful to the investigators who have just started CBCT based research by providing them with a general insight regarding research tendency along with source of possible associations among different authors and countries.

Teledentistry has been proven to have the potential in addressing the gap in accessing oral health care worldwide. Nevertheless, more information is needed to support evidence-based teledentistry practice in Malaysia. The article aims to review teledentistry in view of implementing it to be a common practice in Malaysia. The authors describe teledentistry application worldwide, as well as its uses in the field of service and education. The article summarises the needs of teledentistry in South East Asia, as well as the ethical perspectives and legal practices. In addition, the article also reviews the opportunities arising from practicing teledentistry, including during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. Following review, teledentistry seems to be a promising path as it could offer solutions to shortages in the workforce, high demand for treatment needs and unequal service distribution due to lack of accessibility in rural areas in Malaysia. Furthermore, teledentistry can extend care to underserved patients and provide opportunities to supplement teaching in dental education. The authors provide recommendations to overcome challenges to ensure a sustainable teledentistry. Incorporating teledentistry into practice in Malaysia is achievable but proper guidelines are required.

The article aims to review teledentistry in view of implementing it to be a common practice in Malaysia. The authors describe teledentistry application worldwide, as well as its uses in the field of service and education. The article summarises the needs of teledentistry in South East Asia, as well as the ethical perspectives and legal practices. In addition, the article also reviews the opportunities arising from practicing teledentistry, including during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. Following review, teledentistry seems to be a promising path as it could offer solutions to shortages in the workforce, high demand for treatment needs and unequal service distribution due to lack of accessibility in rural areas in Malaysia. Furthermore, teledentistry can extend care to underserved patients and provide opportunities to supplement teaching in dental education. The authors provide recommendations to overcome challenges to ensure a sustainable teledentistry. Incorporating teledentistry into practice in Malaysia is achievable but proper guidelines are required.","PeriodicalId":44961,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Orofacial Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44485853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
