The titanium exfoliation level during dental implant installation has not yet been available. The present study aims to confirm the presence of titanium exfoliation in different implant surfaces throughout the installation and identify the association between insertion torque and surface abrasion. Three different implant surfaces were assigned to low and high insertion torque groups. The implants were installed into porcine bone blocks. Then, the surrounding bone at the ostomy site was analysed for the titanium exfoliation using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The low and high insertion torques were 30 Ncm and 58 Ncm, respectively. The average titanium content from all samples was 4.9 ± 2.7 μg. Anodised implant released significantly less titanium compared to others (p < 0.05). All implants released titanium indifferently compared to low and high insertion torques (p > 0.05). Within the limitation of the present study, anodised implant released the least amount of titanium exfoliation. The insertion torque was not associated with titanium exfoliation.

Complete pulpotomy as a treatment option for caries exposure in mature permanent teeth with complete root formation still remains controversial due to lack of evidence on the long-term success. This article highlights a rare complete pulpotomy case done on a mature permanent tooth that survived for 20 years. A 34-year-old female presented with dull spontaneous pain on her right mandibular first molar and showed positive response to both cold test and electrical pulp test. The tooth was previously restored with tooth coloured restoration at the disto-occlusal surface and pre-operative periapical radiograph revealed large radiopacity covering the entire pulp chamber with calcified canals. The tooth was diagnosed as previously initiated therapy with symptomatic apical periodontitis. Endodontic treatment was initiated. All canals were located and corrected working length achieved followed by cleaning and shaping using HyFlex CM rotary files with copious irrigation of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite solution. Intracanal medication (non-setting calcium hydroxide) was placed and the tooth was restored with temporary restoration. After two weeks, obturation was done using single cone technique with EndoRez sealer. Universal composite resin was placed as permanent restoration and follow-up was done after one month and three months respectively without symptoms and evidence of periapical lesion. This minimally invasive pulpotomy procedure may be an alternative treatment option for mature permanent teeth whenever carious exposure to the pulp occurs.

Maintaining oral health (OH) is a serious issue in children with cerebral palsy (CP) for their inability to perform effective OH care as well as for lack of accessibility to dental services. This study explored the experience of the caregivers on accessibility towards OH facilities for their children with CP in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. A purposive sampling technique was utilised. In-depth interviews using guided questions captured with audio-recorder were conducted on caregivers of children with CP. Verbatim transcription of the interviews were reviewed with field notes, and themes were developed using NVivo software. Ten caregivers of children with CP aged 32–64 years old participated, which were mostly from low socio-economic status and low level of education. The age of children with CP in this study were between nine to 18 years old. From the ten verbatim transcripts, five themes emerged which were dental experience, family support, mobility, ability to pay and social value. The caregivers experienced both demanding and unique challenges in acquiring OH care services for their children with CP according to their experiences in obtaining OH services in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Therefore, attentions are needed to address these problems that are hindering the access to OH facilities for children with CP.

The objectives of this study were to document the ingredients of toothpastes that are available in Malaysia and to explore the cost, manufacturers’ recommendations for toothpaste use and their labelling practices. Commercially available toothpastes were identified from online and offline (over-the-counter) markets. An online search was conducted through major online shopping websites in Malaysia. For the offline market, selected major pharmacies, supermarkets, family marts and traditional medicine stores in the Klang Valley area were visited. Relevant information (i.e. the type of fluoride, fluoride concentration, type of abrasive agent, price per item and recommendation for use) on the toothpaste packaging were recorded. Data were analysed descriptively using Microsoft Excel and SPSS. A total of 176 brands of toothpaste were identified in this survey. About 74.57% and 25.43% were indicated for adults and children use respectively. Among these, 47.98% were labelled as fluoridated toothpaste and 50.29% were labelled as non-fluoridated toothpaste. Different units of labelling were used to indicate the presence of fluoride and its concentration. Generally, common abrasive agents used were silica, phosphates and carbonates. The cost of toothpaste per 10g ranged from RM0.10 to RM9.50, with mean of RM1.90 (SD 1.93). Manufacturers’ recommendation of toothpaste use varied with a small proportion following evidence-based recommendations. In conclusion, there were a large variety of toothpastes available in Malaysia. The cost of toothpaste varied greatly across brands. There was a lack of standardisation regarding labelling practices and recommendations of use by the manufactures, which may place the consumers and dental health professionals at a disadvantage.

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are prone to develop oral lesions due to the disease process or the therapy or both. The systemic problems started to develop in the pre-dialysis stages of CKD. Oral lesions and caries experience are the non-traditional risk factors in progression of CKD. This research was conducted to study and compare the oral manifestation and caries experience of pre-dialysis patients and healthy subjects in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). Fifty-eight patients, which consist of 29 pre-dialysis patients and 29 controls were recruited. CKD patients (stage III and IV) who attended nephrology clinic and CKD Resource Centre Unit of HUSM were selected. The control group consisted of healthy patients without any systemic disease who attended dental clinic of HUSM. The patients were examined for the oral manifestation. The decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) index were also recorded. Oral lesions were present in 96.6% of pre-dialysis patients and 51.7% of control group (p < 0.001). The significant oral manifestations in pre-dialysis patients were xerostomia, halitosis, abnormal taste, mucosa pallor, enamel hypoplasia, gingival enlargement and abnormal lip pigmentation. There was significant difference in caries experience between pre-dialysis patients and healthy controls but no correlation between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and caries experience in the predialysis patients. Thus, dental screening needs to be done to control the problems. Future studies with multicentred and larger sample size are warranted to explore the magnitude of this problem.

The word ‘cancer’ obviously provokes a sense of immediate trepidation and has unwittingly ‘metastasised’ the human perception solely eliciting a sickening feeling of hopelessness despite the unabated claims on improved treatments. Such current treatment modalities include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and traditional, herbal and home therapies. An in-depth discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of these treatment modalities is beyond the horizon of this essay. The objective is to highlight the treatment cost as a cardinal factor impacting the emotional state of the patients as well as the caretakers especially in view of the equivocal nature of ‘cure’ in many a cancer.
