Head and neck cancer is becoming a more recognizable pathology to the general population and dentists. The modes of treatment include surgery and/or radiation therapy. Where possible, pretreatment dental assessment shall be provided for these patients before they undergo radiation therapy. There are occasions, however, whereby head and neck cancer patients are not prepared optimally for radiation therapy. Because of this, they succumb to complicated oral complications after radiation therapy. The management of xerostomia has been reviewed in Part I of this series. In this article, the management of dental caries, a sequalae of xerostomia following radiation therapy is reviewed. …

Head and neck cancer is becoming a more recognizable pathology to the general population and dentists. The modes of treatment include surgery and/or radiation therapy. Pretreatment dental assessment should be provided for these patients before they undergo radiation therapy. There are occasions, however, whereby head and neck cancer patients are not prepared optimally and, as a result, they succumb to complicated oral adverse effects after radiation therapy. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a severe debilitating condition that impairs healing due to reduction in vascularity and osteocyte population in the affected bone. This article reviews methods of treatment used to treat ORN such …

Transient Loss Of Power Of Accommodation In 1 Eye Following Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block: Report Of 2 Cases, W.C. Ngeow, C. K. Shim, W. L. Chai
Wei Cheong Ngeow
Unintended intravascular injection from inferior alveolar nerve blocks can result in frustrating distant complications affecting such structures as the middle ear and eyes. Possible complications affecting the eyes include blurring of vision, diplopia, mydriasis, palpebral ptosis and amaurosis ( temporary or permanent). In this article, we present a complication that has been reported only rarely. Two patients developed transient loss of power of accommodation of the eye resulting in blurred vision after routine inferior alveolar nerve blocks on the ipsilateral side. Clear vision returned within 10 - 15 minutes after completion of the blocks. The possible explanation for this phenomenon …

The Insecure Airway: A Comparison Of Knots And Commercial Devices For Securing Endotracheal Tubes, Paris B. Lovett
The Insecure Airway: A Comparison Of Knots And Commercial Devices For Securing Endotracheal Tubes, Paris B. Lovett
Paris B Lovett
Abstract Background: Endotracheal Tubes (ETTs) are commonly secured using adhesive tape, cloth tape, or commercial devices. The objectives of the study were (1) To compare degrees of movement of ETTs secured with 6 different commercial devices and (2) To compare movement of ETTs secured with cloth tape tied with 3 different knots (hitches). Methods: A 17 cm diameter PVC tube with 14 mm "mouth" hole in the side served as a mannequin. ETTs were subjected to repeated jerks, using a cable and pulley system. Measurements: (1) Total movement of ETTs relative to "mouth" (measure used for devices) (2) Slippage of …

Effect Of Mouthrinses On Surface Microhardness Of Selected Dental Composites, Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim Abu Kasim N.H.
Effect Of Mouthrinses On Surface Microhardness Of Selected Dental Composites, Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim Abu Kasim N.H.
Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim Abu Kasim N.H.
Objective: To compare the surface microhardness of composites(Spectrum®TPH, Filtek™Z350, Ceram•X mono and Ceram•X duo-enamel shade) before and after immersion in alcohol containing mouthrinses (Listerine), alcohol-free mouthrinses (Oral-B) and experimental herbal mouthrinses based on plant extract (mouthrinses X, Y and Z). Methods: 60 disc-shaped specimens of approximately 10mm x 2mm were perpared from various composites using perspex split mould and was cured for 40 seconds. The irradiated surface was polished using Sof-Lex pop-on polishing discs. The specimens were randomly divided to 6 groups. Microhardness was recorded before immersion (control group) using a load of 200g for 15 seconds using Vickers microhardness …

Shear Bond Strength Of Orthodontic Adhesives On Different Tooth Types: An In Vitro Study, Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim Abu Kasim N.H.
Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim Abu Kasim N.H.
Introduction: Owing to the variety of materials and methods employed, comparison of the results and findings from bonding studies is difficult. Until recently, several types of teeth have been used in published research papers as a substrate in orthodontic bonding research including bovine incisors, fresh and rebonded human premolars. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of an adhesive bonded to different tooth surfaces (human premolar, bovine incisor and rebonded human premolar). Methods: Two groups of thirty premolar teeth and one group of bovine incisors had brackets attached in a standardized manner using Transbond …

Multiple Intelligences And Academic Performance Among Malaysian Undergraduate Dental Students, Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim Abu Kasim N.H.
Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim Abu Kasim N.H.
Objectives: To identify the nature of multiple intelligences among dental students and investigate the relationship between these intelligences and performance in the various skill areas of dentistry. Methods: Sixty-one final year dental students at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya in Malaysia were administered a Multiple Intelligence Inventory [(MII), David Larear, 1991)] after their final written examinations. MII comprised 80 4-point likert items assessing eight types of multiple intelligences: Verbal/Linguistic, Visual Spatial, Logical Mathematical, Musical Rhythmic, Intra Personal, Body Kinesthetic, Inter Personal and Naturalist. These intelligences were correlated with six academic performance scores: Amalgam Class II, Composite, Crown & …

Investigating Examiner Consistency In Criterion-Based Assessment Using Rasch Measurement, Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim Abu Kasim N.H.
Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim Abu Kasim N.H.
In the implementation of criterion-based assessment some disparities in the interpretation of the assessment criteria have been observed.Therefore it is essential that a standardization exercise be carried out to ensure equitable and fair assessment. Objectives: The purpose of the study was to evaluate inter-examiner variability and examiners' internal consistency in applying a criterion-based assessment. Method: The subjects consisted of 9 full-time staff of the Department of Conservative Dentistry, University of Malaya, 4 part-time staff and 2 postgraduate students. One buccally-approached and one palatally-approached Class III cavity preparation were assessed according to a set of criteria developed by the department. Both …
Talking It Over With The Gals: An Analysis Of Editorials By Phyllis Stern, Sandra Thomas
Talking It Over With The Gals: An Analysis Of Editorials By Phyllis Stern, Sandra Thomas
Sandra Thomas
Editorials written by a journal editor proved a glimpse of that individual's philosophy and opinions about topical events. The purpose of the present project was to analyze the editorials of Phyllis Noerager Stern during the years that she served as editor-in-chief of Health Care for Women International (1983-2001). Using ethnographic content analysis, 65 editorials were examined to ascertain: (1) what event triggered the editorial; (2) what aim or objective could be identified; and (3) what rhetorical devices the editor employed. Personal narratives and editorials about the abuse/exploitation of women made up the largest categories. Stern's grounded theory orientation, fascination with …
