Familial Cases Of Missing Mandibular Incisor: Three Case Presentations, W. L. Chai, W.C. Ngeow
Wei Cheong Ngeow
Hypodontia is the congenital absence of one or more teeth because of agenesis. The most commonly missing teeth are the third molars, the maxillary lateral incisors and the second premolars. Cases are presented of three patients with a missing mandibular incisor.

Clinicopathologic Study Of Odontogenic Keratocysts In Singapore And Malaysia, W.C. Ngeow, R. B. Zain, J. F. Yeo, W. L. Chai
Wei Cheong Ngeow
This was a retrospective study of odontogenic keratocysts in people from the Singapore-Malaysian region. The purpose of this study was to present the clinicopathologic features of odontogenic keratocysts in the Oriental population and to compare these data with those from other reported studies. Biopsy records from 1981 to 1992 of 61 cases of odontogenic keratocysts from patients in Malaysia and Singapore showed that 42.6% of patients were female and 57.4% of patients were male. Among patients with cysts, 75.4% were Chinese, 6.6% were Malays, 9.8% were Indians and 8.2% were other ethnic groups. The mean age of these patients was …
Median Mental Sinus In Twins, W.C. Ngeow, S. T. Ong
Median Mental Sinus In Twins, W.C. Ngeow, S. T. Ong
Wei Cheong Ngeow
Sinus on the chin can be the result of a chronic apical abscess due to pulp necrosis of a mandibular anterior tooth. The tooth is usually asymptomatic, and a dental cause is therefore not apparent to the patient or the unsuspecting clinician. Not infrequently, the patient may seek treatment from a dermatologist or general surgeon instead of a dentist. Excision and repair of the fistula may be carried out with subsequent breakdown because the dental pathology is not removed. This paper reports the presence of median mental sinus of dental origin in twins. One case healed following root canal therapy …

Understanding The Dental Need And Care During Pregnancy: A Review, W.C. Ngeow, W. L. Chai
Wei Cheong Ngeow
This paper reviews the oral and dental lesions that are seen during pregnancy. Trimester approach should be adopted in the management of the pregnant patients. A good dental preventive programme is essential. The significance of prescribing fluoride supplements and the use of dental radiography during pregnancy is also briefly reviewed.
Orbital Cellulitis As A Sole Symptom Of Odontogenic Infection, W.C. Ngeow
Orbital Cellulitis As A Sole Symptom Of Odontogenic Infection, W.C. Ngeow
Wei Cheong Ngeow
A case of periapical infection resulting in unilateral maxillary sinusitis and cellulitis of the ipsilateral lower eyelid is presented. The sole symptom was right orbital swelling. The possible pathway for the spread of this type of infection predisposing factors and possible complications are reviewed. The value of radiographic examination and antibiotic therapy are also discussed.
Making Your Own Retrograde Carrier, W. L. Chai, W.C. Ngeow
Making Your Own Retrograde Carrier, W. L. Chai, W.C. Ngeow
Wei Cheong Ngeow
One of the problems faced by manufacturers is the difficulty in constructing a robust and reliable, angled applicator tip. This can be overcome by handmaking your own retrograde carrier. The applicator tip may be bent to about 50 degrees and, if a kink occurs while bending the tip, it can be replaced easily by a new modified needle. Because the wire used is flexible, it can adapt to the bend without a problem. Narrower carriers can also be made using a 20-G needle, perhaps more suitable for retrograde fillings of molar apices. Because the carrier is designed to be used …
