Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain
A study on the oral health status of 198 factory workers (in Antara Steel, Pasir Gudang, Johor) was carried out in November 1986. The subjects were predominantly male (94%) and Malay (91%) with an average age of 27.4 years. The prevalence of caries was 87.4% with a mean DMFT of 7.1 + 5.4. There were 3 subjects with full upper, lower dentures and 16 subjects with partial dentures. Two subjects examined needed dentures but were not wearing them.

The difficulty of diagnosing this condition was discussed as well as the possible histological explanation of the symptoms experienced by the patient.

Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma/Ossifying Fibrous Epulis, Rosnah Binti Zain, Janakarajah N.
Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain
This is a case report of a reactive lesion which occurs only in the gingiva. This lesion is of a long duration causing erosion of the superficial bone. Histologically it is similar to other epulides of the gingiva but in addition contains ossified tissue. The lesion's confusing terminology is being discussed in view of its understanding to an American-trained or a British-trained surgeon. A review of literature showed a recurrence rate of 7-20% thus making it mandatory for a close follow-up of the patient.
