The clinical performances of a compomer (Dyract AP") is combination with a non-rinse conditioner (K-0100”) and self-priming adhesive (K-0 I07”) were compared with a hybrid composite resin (Spectrum TPH”) in combination with a 36% phosphoric acid conditioner (DeTrey Conditioner”) and self-priming adhesive (K-0107”) in a randomized controlled split-mouth model. 23 patients with bilateral occlusal and/or interproximal caries had their teeth restored with Dyract AP in one quadrant and Spectrum TPH in the opposite quadrant by either one of the 2 evaluators. Removal of tooth structure was as dictated by caries and access. All non-caries fissures were sealed with either a …

Prof. Dr. Rosnah Binti Zain

Some oral verruco-papillary lesions (VPL) may constitute part of the clinicopathological spectrum of proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL), an aggressive form of leukoplakia. Previous studies in PVL have documented its existence in Western populations but no data exist from the South-East Asia region. Aim: To review the clinicopathological features of persistent, multifocal oral VPL in a Malaysian population. Method: Patients with multiple biopsies of oral VPL were selected from histopathological records. Seven women and three men with diverse ethnic backgrounds were identified. New sections were made and re-examined by a single pathologist. Results: A total of 45 biopsies were reviewed. The …
