Overweight and dental caries among children is increasing in Asia. The association between anthropometric measurements and dental caries is inconclusive and not representing the Asian context. Aim: To assess the association between anthropometric measurements and caries among children in Asia by regions, sugar consumption per-capita, and SES of the countries. Methods: The review was registered with PROSPERO and conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Twenty-six databases were employed for searching the eligible studies from inception until Jun 2019. Two reviewers independently screen, select studies, perform data extraction, and risk bias assessment, with discrepancies resolved by discussion and reference to the third reviewers. …
Establishing The Minimally Important Clinical Difference For The Oral Health Impact Profile In Malaysians Provided With Removable Partial Dentures, Siti Fauzza Ahmad
Establishing The Minimally Important Clinical Difference For The Oral Health Impact Profile In Malaysians Provided With Removable Partial Dentures, Siti Fauzza Ahmad
Student Works (2020-2029)
Future demand for a removable partial denture (RPD) remains as more adults retain their natural teeth into old age. Partial tooth loss often leads to masticatory function disturbances and negatively affects the quality of life (QoL). Prosthodontic rehabilitation with RPD improves QoL; however, the statistically significant change with many Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQOL) instruments, may not be clinically meaningful. The Malaysian version of Oral Health Impact Profile, OHIP(M)-45 questionnaires has been validated and adapted; however, its clinical interpretability has not been established. The smallest change in OHRQoL score perceived by a patient as beneficial, following an intervention, is …

Prevalence Of Dental Caries, Oral-Health Related Quality Of Life, And Oral Health Inequalities Among Libyan Pre-School Children In Benghazi, Lamis Abdelrahim Fathulla Ballo
Student Works (2020-2029)
Background: Dental caries persists as a public health problem that significantly affects individuals and societies. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is significantly identified as a serious worldwide public health concern. Oral health inequalities exist in most countries, and these disparities in health vary between and within countries. Aim: This study aimed to investigate dental caries prevalence and experience, oral health related quality of life and oral health inequalities and the associated factors among six-year-old children in Benghazi, Libya. Methods: This study was a secondary data analysis of Benghazi Children Dental Health Survey conducted in the year 2017. The survey …
Understanding And Assessing Dental Anxiety And Fear In Malaysia, Rashidah Esa
Understanding And Assessing Dental Anxiety And Fear In Malaysia, Rashidah Esa
Student Works (2020-2029)
Dental anxiety refers to a vague, unpleasant feeling that something undesirable awaits whereas dental fear is a normal response to a threat or danger. Anticipation of a dental visit can induce dental anxiety whereas the most fear-provoking situations were the sight of injection needles and the drilling procedures. Nevertheless, the terms are often used interchangeably. Dental anxiety and fear (DAF) are perpetual problems worldwide and their assessment is important to assist dentists in the management of highly anxious patients. In Malaysia, more studies are needed to add to the growing body of DAF research. The aim of this thesis was …
The Pharmacokinetic Of Silver Diamine Fluoride In Healthy Children With Dental Caries, Lim Siau Peng
The Pharmacokinetic Of Silver Diamine Fluoride In Healthy Children With Dental Caries, Lim Siau Peng
Student Works (2020-2029)
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a medication used topically on carious tooth surfaces to arrest caries progression in both child and adult populations. This study aimed to determine the pharmacokinetic of SDF in 15 children who received SDF treatment. Urine samples were collected at baseline, and at first and second 24 hours after SDF treatment to determine silver and fluoride levels. Hair samples were collected at baseline, and at days 7, 14, 30, 60, 75, and 90 after SDF to assess silver levels. The median and interquartile range of urinary fluoride at baseline, first and second 24 hours after SDF …

Process And Impact Evaluations Preschool Oral Healthcare Programme (Pohp) In Selangor, Muhammad Farid Nurdin
Student Works (2020-2029)
Preschools provide an efficient setting to promote the oral health of young children as children attend preschools on daily basis, the structures and system at preschools are established, and vital facilities for conducive oral health environment such as clean water supply and sanitation are already in place. Because of these promising potentials, the Ministry of Health (MOH), Malaysia has introduced the Preschool Oral Healthcare Programme (POHP) in 1984. This programme aims to improve the oral health status of children aged 5 to 6 years who attend preschools. To date, there has been no evaluation conducted on the POHP in terms …
Preschool Children's Toothbrushing Behaviour And Association With Their Oral Health, Muhammad Khan Iqra
Preschool Children's Toothbrushing Behaviour And Association With Their Oral Health, Muhammad Khan Iqra
Student Works (2020-2029)
Toothbrushing is an important yet neglected behaviour that has affected oral health of preschool children (4-6 years). Factors like dietary habit, socioeconomic status and oral conditions also affect oral health of preschool children. Despite intervention efforts, recent investigations reported high prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) and oral diseases among this age group across different populations. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the relationship between toothbrushing behaviour and oral health status of preschool children to prevent oral diseases, hence improve their oral health. The aim of the current study was to evaluate toothbrushing behaviour of preschool children, assess their oral …
Acculturative Stress, Social Support And Oral Health Related Quality Of Life Among International Graduate Students In Malaysian Public Universities, Ben Ghasheer Hala Fathalla
Acculturative Stress, Social Support And Oral Health Related Quality Of Life Among International Graduate Students In Malaysian Public Universities, Ben Ghasheer Hala Fathalla
Student Works (2020-2029)
Background: Oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) reflects the impact of the oral condition on physical, social, and psychological functioning and well-being from an individual’s perspective. It is an important health outcome that is influenced by several factors which together are known as the determinants of health. Psychosocial factors are among many other factors that have a crucial role in shaping oral health. Understanding their role in relation to diminished oral health has gained more interest in recent years since such factors could serve as points of intervention for new oral health promotion strategies. Aim: This study aimed to …

The Effect And Feasibility Of The Sims Programme To Improve Preschool Children's Oral Hygiene Level And Related Behaviours: A Cluster Randomised Control Trial, Anwar Nurul Hayati
Student Works (2020-2029)
Background: The preschool oral healthcare programme (POHP) was introduced by the Ministry of Health in 1984 to provide oral healthcare to 5-6-year-old children in Malaysia. Due to some limitations, a new programme called the ‘Senyuman Indah Milik Semua’ Programme (SIMSP) was introduced with the aim to improvise the POHP. In the SIMSP, a triad of dental therapists (DTs), teachers, and parents was set up to promote children’s oral hygiene level, oral health behaviours (OHBs), and parents’ oral health literacy (OHL). The POHP only involved DTs. Objectives: The primary objective of the study was to assess the effect of SIMSP versus …
