The Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs was used to obtained clinical data on 208 Indian subjects residing in three estates in the state of Selangor. The prevalence of periodontal disease among the subjects was 100%. Less than 1% of the subjects had bleeding on probing as the highest CPITN score. About 97% of the subjects showed evidence of periodontal pocket of 4mm or more. Of these, half showed pocketing of 6mm or more. No statistically significant difference (p> 0.05) was …

The Malaysian nationwide survey on oral mucosal lesions (OML) in 1993/94 showed a low prevalence of OML in particular oral cancer and precancer (OPC) among Malays as compared to the Indians and the Indigenous people of Sabah and Sarawak. A low prevalence of quid chewing habit was also noted in the Malays in that survey. The present study was conducted to investigate whether the low prevalence of OPC in the Malays was attributed to the low prevalence of quid users among the Malays and/or whether the quid contents used were different. Two examiners were trained prior to the survey. The …
Clinicopathologic Presentations Of 18 Cases Of Traumatic Granulomas, Rosnah Binti Zain, Ti L. S.
Clinicopathologic Presentations Of 18 Cases Of Traumatic Granulomas, Rosnah Binti Zain, Ti L. S.
Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain
A retrospective study of 11 cases of traumatic granulomas was done. The objective of this study is to present the clinicopathological features of traumatic granulomas in some malaysian patients and to compare this data with data from other reported studies, which have been predominantly from Caucasian population. Biopsy records from 1985 to 1998 of 18 cases of traumatic granulomas were obtained. There were 13 male and 5 female patients. The granulomas occured in 38.9% Malay, 38.9% Chinese, 11.1% Indian and 11.1% other ethnic groups. The age of these patients range from 8 to 86 years, with mean of 41.9 ± …

Clinicopathologic Study Of Odontogenic Keratocysts In Singapore And Malaysia, Ngeow W. C., Rosnah Binti Zain, Yeo J. F., Chai W. L.
Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain
A retrospective study of odontogenic keratocysts in the Malaysia-Singapore region was done. The purpose of this study is to present the clinicopathological features of odontogenic keratocysts in the Oriental population and to compare the data with those from other reported studies. Biopsy records from 1981 to 1992 of 61 cases of odontogenic keratocysts in Malaysia and Singapore showed that there were 42.6% female and 57.4% male patients. The cysts occurred in 75.4% Chinese, 6.6% Malays, 9.8% Indian, and 8.2% other ethnic groups. The mean age of these patients was 26.98 ± 15.38 years with peak incidence in the second to …

Tenascin-C In Betel-Quid Associated Lesions, Rosnah Binti Zain, Fukano H., Ikeda N., Kudeken W., Shrestha P., Ghazali M. N., Takai Y., Mori M.
Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain
The expression of Tenascin-C, an adhesion modulating or anti- adhesive extracellular matrix protein, was evaluated in betel quid associated lesions of oral mucosa showing focal hyperkeratosis (n=15), dysplasia (n=15), oral submucous fibrosis (n=7) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (n=8). All the patients were chewers of betel quid containing betel leaves, areca nuts, lime and tobacco. The results obtained from this study were compared to similar lesions in smokers and non-quid users cited in the literature (Shrestha et al, Oral Oncol, 1994). An enhanced expression of TN-C was observed in epithelial connective tissue interface of quid associated hyperkeratotic and dyplastic mucosa. …
Pcna Expression In Epithelial Linings Of Odontogenic Cysts And Unicystic Ameloblastoma, Sudiono J., Rosnah Binti Zain
Pcna Expression In Epithelial Linings Of Odontogenic Cysts And Unicystic Ameloblastoma, Sudiono J., Rosnah Binti Zain
Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a nuclear protein synthesized in the late G1 and S phase of the cell cycle. It is a useful marker for the proliferating fraction of cells in tissue specimens. The purpose of this study was to describe the expression of PCNA within epithelial linings of odontogenic cyst and to compare the proliferative activities of these lesion using PCNA labeling indices. A total of 61 cases of odontogenic cysts and unicystic ameloblastomas (18 radicular cysts, 16 dentigerous cysts, 15 odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) an 12 unicystic ameloblastomas) was studied. It was found that PCNA staining were …
