A total of 2193 tumours of the mouth and jaw diagnosed at the Laboratorium Patologi Anatomi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Airlangga, Indonesia from 1987 to 1992, inclusive, was studied. Malignant tumours constituted 45.3% of the lesions. Almost 71% of the malignant tumours were squamous cell carcinomas. The remainder were salivary gland tumours (21.5%) and sarcomas (4.5%). The male to female ratio for malignant tumours was 5.1:4.7. The incidence of malignant tumours per 100,000 population over the 6-year study period was 2.64. The yearly incidence seemed to increase except in 1990, when it dropped. The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma over the …


Clinical Evaluation Of A Compomer In The Restoration Of Class I And Ii Cavities In Permanent Posterior Teeth: 1-Year Results, Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim Abu Kasim N.H. Apr 2001

Clinical Evaluation Of A Compomer In The Restoration Of Class I And Ii Cavities In Permanent Posterior Teeth: 1-Year Results, Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim Abu Kasim N.H.

Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim Abu Kasim N.H.

The clinical performances of a compomer (Dyract AP") is combination with a non-rinse conditioner (K-0100”) and self-priming adhesive (K-0 I07”) were compared with a hybrid composite resin (Spectrum TPH”) in combination with a 36% phosphoric acid conditioner (DeTrey Conditioner”) and self-priming adhesive (K-0107”) in a randomized controlled split-mouth model. 23 patients with bilateral occlusal and/or interproximal caries had their teeth restored with Dyract AP in one quadrant and Spectrum TPH in the opposite quadrant by either one of the 2 evaluators. Removal of tooth structure was as dictated by caries and access. All non-caries fissures were sealed with either a …

Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain

Aim: A pilot study was carried out in the state of Kelantan, north-east of Malaysia, to determine the feasibility of using pathological and hospital databases to acquire incidence on oral cancer. Method: Data on OC patients (ICD-10: C00.3-00.5, C02-06) were obtained from incident surgical biopsy records of the two main referral centres for head and neck surgery in Kelantan namely, the Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Science and the Oral Surgery clinic, Kota Baru Hospital between January 1994 to December 1998. The crude and age-specific incidence rates were calculated based on the annual population census of Kelantan …

Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain

Some oral verruco-papillary lesions (VPL) may constitute part of the clinicopathological spectrum of proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL), an aggressive form of leukoplakia. Previous studies in PVL have documented its existence in Western populations but no data exist from the South-East Asia region. Aim: To review the clinicopathological features of persistent, multifocal oral VPL in a Malaysian population. Method: Patients with multiple biopsies of oral VPL were selected from histopathological records. Seven women and three men with diverse ethnic backgrounds were identified. New sections were made and re-examined by a single pathologist. Results: A total of 45 biopsies were reviewed. The …
