The study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) and to analyse the failure mode at the resin-dentine interface of different dental adhesive systems. A total of 75 sound premolar teeth were selected and randomly assigned into five different adhesive groups (n=15): OptiBond Solo (OBS, total-etch), OptiBond Versa (OBV, two-bottles, self-etch), Adhe SE Ivoclar (ADHE, two-bottles, self-etch), G-Bond (GB, one-bottle, self-etch), and OptiBond All in One (OBO, one-bottle, self-etch). The occlusal surface of each tooth was flattened and composite resin cylinder (4x2 mm) was built up on the flat dentine surface using a custom made mould. The specimens were then subjected to 500 thermal cycles between 5 °C and 55 °C and dwell time of 20s. The SBS test was conducted using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Dunnett T3 Test. Failure mode was determined as adhesive, cohesive or mixed mode using a stereomicroscope and the data were analyzed using Fisher's exact test. The total-etch (OBS) had significantly higher value of SBS than the two self-etch (ADHE and GB) adhesive systems. Within the self-etch systems, OBV showed significantly higher SBS value compared to ADHE and GB. There were no statistically significant differences between types of failure mode (p > 0.05) and adhesive group. It can be concluded that the different compositions in the self-etch adhesive materials may contribute to the different SBS value. The failure modes detected within all tested groups did not show clinically important differences.
本研究旨在评价不同牙胶粘剂体系的剪切粘接强度(SBS)，并分析其在树脂-牙本质界面的破坏模式。选择75颗健康的前磨牙，随机分为5组(n=15): OptiBond Solo (OBS，全蚀刻)、OptiBond Versa (OBV，两瓶，自蚀刻)、Adhe SE Ivoclar (Adhe，两瓶，自蚀刻)、G-Bond (GB，一瓶，自蚀刻)和OptiBond All in One (OBO，一瓶，自蚀刻)。将每颗牙的咬合面压平，并使用定制的模具在平整的牙本质表面上构建复合树脂圆柱体(4x2 mm)。然后，试样在5°C至55°C之间进行500次热循环，停留时间为20s。SBS试验采用万能试验机，十字速度为0.5 mm/min。数据分析采用单因素方差分析和Dunnett T3检验。利用体视显微镜确定其破坏模式为粘接、内聚或混合模式，并采用Fisher精确检验对数据进行分析。全蚀刻(OBS)体系的SBS值明显高于自蚀刻(ADHE)和自蚀刻(GB)体系。在自蚀刻体系中，OBV的SBS值明显高于ADHE和GB。两组失效模式类型差异无统计学意义(p < 0.05)。结果表明，自蚀刻胶材料中不同的成分可能导致SBS值的不同。在所有测试组中检测到的失效模式没有显示出临床上重要的差异。

This cross sectional study investigated the clinical and radiographic status of crowned teeth with and without root canal treatment. The study used secondary data from records of patients who received crown treatment at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya before 2015 and walk-in patients attending the primary care clinic between July - December 2016. The inclusion criterion was crown fitted for more than 12 months. Once identified, the patients were assessed for clinical and radiographic status. Data were entered into and analysed using SPSS Version 20 software. A total of 66 crowns [35 root canal treated (RCT) and 31 non-root canal treated (n-RCT)] were identified. Chi-square test was carried out to determine the health of crowned teeth and for its longevity in the oral cavity. There were 43 crowns (46.5% RCT; 53.5% n-RCT) with plaque accumulation, 15 (66.7% RCT; 33.3% n-RCT) with gingival swelling/recession, 17 (46.5% RCT; 53.5% n-RCT) with widening of the periodontal ligament, 13 (53.8% RCT; 46.2% n-RCT) with bone loss and 5 (60% RCT; 40% n-RCT) crowns with periapical lesion. There was no statistically significant difference except for poorer alveolar bone condition for crowns that have been in the mouth for >10 years. Based on the study, no significant adverse pulpal involvement between crown with RCT and crown without RCT was observed.

Aesthetic or cosmetic dentistry is one of the main areas of dental practice. Increasing demands of patients for aesthetics has resulted in the development of several techniques for restoring the anterior teeth. Composite resin restorations have become an integral part of contemporary restorative dentistry and can be called “star of minimal invasion” due to its conservative concepts. The direct composite veneering allows restoring the tooth in a natural way and preservation of sound tooth structure when compared to indirect restorations. Before placement of direct composite veneers, a proper diagnosis, available treatment options, cost of treatment, patient’s expectations and duration of treatment should be taken into consideration. This article presents three case reports of aesthetic rehabilitation of anterior teeth using direct composite with satisfactory outcome that mimic the natural dentition.

As a customary practice, oral health promotion is often carried out by dentists themselves, whose practice are regulated by Act 51, Dental Act 1971 an act that ensures the safety of the patients in Malaysia. However, non-dentists who are working towards promoting good oral health practice are almost scarce or even nonexistent at the national level. Therefore, the idea to have an interdisciplinary platform for Oral Microbiologists and Oral Immunologists was mooted and eventually turned into the formation of the Malaysian Society of Oral Microbiologists and Oral Immunologists (MySOMOI) (https://mysomoi.org).

To assess the oral health behaviors of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and explore attitudes and barriers in providing oral care by their parents. A cross-sectional, mixed method study design, which comprised of quantitative and qualitative sections was conducted. The quantitative part assessed the oral health behavior through a parent-proxy report questionnaire whilst the qualitative part assessed parents’ overall perspective on maintenance of oral health in children with ASD through an in-depth interview using semi-structured questions. All children below the age of 16 who have been clinically diagnosed with ASD and registered at the Pediatric Dental Clinic were included. The sample consisted of twenty children with ASD. Most of the sample were male and between 5-8 years old. Majority had good oral health behaviors but some exhibited self-injurious behaviors that may affect oral health. Severe characteristics of ASD, co-morbid conditions and incompetent health professionals were reported as barriers in oral care by parents of these children. Despite having good oral health behaviors, several barriers and challenges were expressed by these parents with ASD when providing home oral care or bringing them for dental appointment. Continuous support for parents with ASD child by dental professionals is essential to help overcome the real challenges and barriers in providing oral care among these parents.

The masticatory (or stomatognathic) system is generally considered to be made up of the teeth, the periodontal tissues, and the articulatory system. Within the articulatory system, one can imagine the temporomandibular joints as the hinges, the masticatory muscles as the motors and the dental occlusion as the contacts. Dentists manage their patients’ occlusion during routine restorative dental procedures because the occlusal surfaces of the teeth are usually involved in the provision of restorations [2]. But dentists should avoid unplanned occlusal change because it may lead to an iatrogenic problem or a restorative failure [3].

Acrylic resin is commonly used to fabricate removable prostheses due to its adequate physical, mechanical properties and cost effectiveness. There has been continuous development of the materials to improve their properties and to widen their applications in different clinical settings. This study aimed to provide a historical development of the acrylic resin and elaborate on the properties of different types and the processing methods of acrylic resins used to fabricate denture base which are commercially available in the market. This would help dental clinicians to choose the best material of choice in the market. The authors have summarized the history, development and classification of different types of acrylic resins used in fabricating dentures and processing methods based on published research available on this topic using published materials available in the Dental Library, University of Malaya and the database (Science Direct, PubMed). Every type of acrylic denture base material has its pros and cons. Therefore, careful selection of the material and processing method is crucial to ensure patients are receiving the best outcome in prosthodontic treatment hence upholding the patients’ best interest and improving their quality of life.

In this study we aimed to determine the adverse effects and pain outcome following carbamazepine pharmacotherapy to manage patients with classical trigeminal neuralgia. The study was carried out on patients diagnosed with classical trigeminal neuralgia at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya. Medical records of patients diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia over a period of 11 years from April, 2003 to April, 2014 were reviewed. A total of 49 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Demographic details, clinical features and blood test reports of the patients were recorded from the patient’s clinical files. Subjects included in the study were administered the Faces Pain Rating Scale (FPS) and Numeric Pain Rating scale (NRS) to measure the pain outcome retrospectively. Analysis and interpretation of results was carried out using SPSS. Hepatic adverse effects were more commonly seen in our patients (n=39) followed by haematological (n=27), renal (n=23) and non-specific adverse effects (n=22). However, there was no significant association between the observed side effects and carbamazepine pharmacotherapy. Analysis of our data using Pearson Chi Square test, showed no significant correlation between gender, ethnicity and age of the patients with adverse effects. 9 out of the 49 subjects included in the study were administered the FOS and the NRS. Pain perception after treatment was significantly decreased (p-0.007) in comparison to pain perception before commencement of therapy with carbamazepine in the selected group of patients. Even though pain perception decreased in the selected patients, the data is insufficient to state the efficacy of the treatment as none of the patients reported a complete relief from their pain. The results of our study showed that there were no significant haematological, hepatic, renal, and non-specific adverse effects associated with the use of carbamazepine. The efficacy of this drug in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia was proven to be satisfactory. It may be concluded that carbamazepine could be considered as the drug of choice in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.

Sjorgren’s syndrome is an uncommon chronic autoimmune disorder that affects exocrine glands. Sialolithiasis is an obstructive salivary gland disease which is also uncommon in the parotid salivary gland. The existing literature has documented the occurrence of multiple calcifications within the parenchyma of the parotid glands in patients with Sjorgren’s syndrome. This report describes the first case of right parotid duct solitary sialolith formation in a 64 year old female patient with Sjorgren’s syndrome. Whether the salivary stone encountered in this case represents an oral manifestation of Sjorgren’s syndrome or is just a co-incidental finding was discussed.
