‘Health literacy’ refers to the ability to perform basic reading and numerical tasks necessary to navigate the health care environment and act on health care information (1). In addition, the American Dental Association (ADA) defines oral health literacy (OHL) as “the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate oral health decisions” (2).

This study was undertaken to explore the perception of Year IV and Year V University of Malaya dental students on different domains related to the competency based test (CBT). Methodology: A questionnaire was constructed and a survey conducted to explore the students’ perception on four domains related to the competency test: 1) benefits, 2) readiness to take, 3) timing and 4) lecturers’ supervision. Results: In general, majority of the students agreed that they benefited from the competency test and felt adequately prepared for each test. Students’ agreeing on feeling confident to sit for each test ranged from 70.0%- 81.4% for Year IV and 45.1%-70.4% for Year V. Majority of Year IV and Year V students perceived that the timing of each competency test was ‘just right’. There was a high response of ‘Strongly agree/agree’ to availability of patients for practice and assessment, self-confidence and amount and distribution of clinical session as factors affecting when they take the CBT. Majority of Year IV students agreed that the assessment of lecturers was consistent for each tests while Year V had a high percentage of ‘Neutral’ response. Students’ agreeing that there was feedback after the test was 52.9%-71.4% for Year IV and 31.0%-56.5% for Year V. ‘Strongly agree/agree’ response of 68.6%-75.0% for Year IV and 36.6%-52.1% for Year V was recorded for the level of supervision being the same after passing the test. Conclusion: Overall, majority of students gave positive perception towards CBT in relation to four main domains explored in this research.

Dentistry has entered an exciting era of technological advancements. The advent of newer modalities of treatment like the use of laser radiation has heralded a change in the field of Periodontics since its development and subsequent applications for dental hard and soft tissue procedures. Extensive research has been done on the possible benefits of lasers derived from the adjunctive effects of bacterial control and haemostasis associated with its use. This review attempts to explore the current status of laser applications in the treatment of periodontal diseases and the emerging concepts in the utilization of laser energy. The limitations of lasers in periodontal therapy are also briefly discussed.

The Comparative Study of Oral Health Care Delivery Systems (between Malaysia and other countries) is a compulsory course in the Master of Community Oral Health (MCOH) degree. In 2015, the Department of Community Oral Health and Clinical Prevention, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya formed a partnership with Chiang Mai University to organise an outbound programme which took place from 3-7 August 2015. Three MCOH postgraduate students from UM and one accompanying lecturer participated in this outbound programme. The aim of the programme was to compare and evaluate the oral health care delivery systems between Malaysia and Thailand. The objectives of the outbound programme were 1) To observe the public health care services in Chiang Mai. 2) To observe the implementation of the central policy through a field visit at different levels, i.e. central (federal), intermediate (state & district level) and primary health care delivery system between Malaysia and Chiang Mai. During the outbound program, the places visited were Faculty of Dentistry, Chiang Mai University. Intercountry Centre for Oral Health (ICOH), a community-based defluoridation programme, hospital and district level oral healthcare facilities in Sansai district and Rajanagarindra Institute of Child Development. This report is aimed to describe the oral health promotion activities in Thailand in comparison to those activities in Malaysia. In Thailand, various programmes are being implemented to promote the health (including oral health) of the population. These activities are organized by the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (Thai Health). Many of the activities place emphasis on individualised oral health promotion activities. Thailand is also known for its community-based on oral health promotion programme which was developed and delivered by the ICOH.
