Keynote: Educating Children in Oral Disease Prevention
Biography:
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to gather information to fulfill a mission: “Prevent Oral Diseases in Children”. In mid-1996, five years after retiring from a lifetime in general dental practices in Australia then in England then back in Australia, the author returned to general dental practice, because his second granddaughter, aged 3 years, had been diagnosed with mild tooth decay in an upper front deciduous tooth. That is why and when his mission began. He became the District Dental Officer for East Arnhem Land in The Northern Territory of Australia in January 1997. He was delighted with this appointment, because working with schools, parents, teachers, children and adults, he would be in contact with people he considered important for him to fulfill his mission: “Prevent Oral Diseases in Children”. He was advised by his superiors that there was no funding available for research, but he had their permission to research for his project “Prevent Oral Diseases in Children”. His project soon became choosing between the 3,500 year-old “Brush Your Teeth” instruction and his new oral hygiene instruction “Paint Your Mouth”. The author chose the submission title, “Paint Your Mouth” versus “Brush Your Teeth”.

Chien Hai Li
Chuan Sheng Dental Clinic, Taiwan
Title: Immediate implant supported full-arch restorations fabricated with an intraoral welding technique in Taiwan patients with intact opposite dentition
Biography:
Chien Hai Li graduated (DDS) from China Medical College in Taiwan in 2000. He was Director of Chuan Sheng Dental Clinic in 2004. He received MSc degree in 2011 from Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany. He published a paper in IJOMS in 2013.
Abstract:
Twenty-two (22) implants placed in 4 Taiwan patients to support immediate full-arch restorations (1 mandible and 3 maxillae) with intact opposite dentition. Passive-fit metal-reinforced frameworks were fabricated chairside by intraoral welding method, and all patients had definitive restorations on surgery day. All restorations were fabricated with implant-level components, screw retained and inflicted full occlusal loading in the first day. Patients were recalled 7 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months, with the follow-up period being over 9 months until April 2016. All implants were osseo-integrated, no infection was observed around the implants and no fracture or cracking was found on the restorations. All patients were satisfied with the restorations.

Title: Early treatment of anterior crossbite in mixed dentition: A case series report
Biography:
Shuchen Kuo has completed her DDS in 2003 from Taipei Medical University and after four years of Training in Tzuchi Medical Hospital Center, she now works as a General Practitioner in a private practice.
Abstract:
Early treatment can have numerous benefits for patients presenting with anterior crossbite in mixed dentition. As this malocclusion seldom corrects by itself, early orthodontic intervention can improve function, esthetics and self-esteem. Various treatment options such as removable and fixed appliances have been suggested by different authors in the past literature. In this case series report, 4 patients aged from 8 to 10 y/o diagnosed with unilateral or bilateral anterior crossbite were treated with lower inclined bite plate combined with or without orthodontic bracket bonding based on the amount of teeth involved. With careful observation, each case was corrected within a short period and followed up for at least 12 months. The procedure has shown to be effective and simple if the symptoms are diagnosed and intervention occurs in the early age of mixed dentition.

Abstract:
This study analyzed the presence of antral septa in the maxillary sinus. A septum is a barrier of cortical bone and may split the sinus into two or even more than two cavities. Between 13% and 35% of the sinuses have these septa. Different methods to detect the presence of maxillary septum before dental surgery can be used. To know the prevalence of a septum before an external sinus floor elevation could be necessary to avoid surgical complications. CT-scan images collected from 120 maxillary sinuses of 60 patients from two dental clinics, which were processed by Fan beam CT scan, GEMS ZeusRP/Simplant and GE/Dental Scan by Radiology department of Cathay General Hospital were included in this study. The locations and distribution of spikes and septum’s were identified from the images and recorded. According to the most frequent areas, 3 categories were classified: Second premolar (P2), first molar (M1) and second molar (M2) according to the related tooth position. The difference between sides, sites and incidence were compared. Out of 60 patients, 17 showed no septum identified in both sinuses and 8 showed on one sinus. The rest can be detected on both sides. The incidence of a spike in the maxillary sinus in patients is 43/60. From 120 sinuses, 68 sinuses with 85 spikes or septum’s were identified. The incidence of a spike in the maxillary sinus on sinus is 85/120. Three areas were categorized as second premolar (P2), first molar (M1) and second molar (M2) according to the correlated tooth position. Spikes were 33 in second premolar (P2) position, 22 in first molar (M1) and 30 in second molar (M2) position; 48 on the right side and 37 on the left. The incidence of a spike in the maxillary sinus in patients is high (71.67%) and on sinus (70.83%). The incidence of sinus with spike is higher on right (39 vs. 29). The incidence of spikes detected slightly higher on right sinuses (48 vs. 37). Spikes were detected higher in second premolar (P2) and second molar (M2) than first molar (M1).

Abstract:
Azo is dye synthesis used in batik industries. It can be toxic to the tissue when exposed via inhalation, swallowing or contact directly. Expression of cytokeratin will change on hyperplastic and cancer of the oral mucosa. Expression of cytokeratin 8, 18, 19 was strong in the epithelial cells that undergo excessive hyperproliferation and oral mucosal changes into leukoplakia and squamous stratification carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to analyze the expression of cytokeratin 19 in the epithelial cells of the buccal mucosa exposed azo. The study involved 30 male subjects divided into 2 groups, 15 subjects were exposed azo and 15 were control. Criteria for exposed azo subject were worked at batik coloring parts for at least 5 years, while control was being not exposed to azo dyes. The method of collecting buccal mucosal epithelial cells was exfoliative cytology using cytobrush. Expression of cytokeratin 19 were analyzed using monoclonal antibody cytokeratin 19 (Novus Biologicals, USA) and immunohistochemical staining (ABC Staining Kit, ImmunoCruz, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA). Data were analyzed using independent t-test. The results showed a negative expression on the control while positive expression in the exposed group. T-test analysis showed significant differences in the positive expression of the exposed group compared to controls. In conclusion, azo dye could increase expression of cytokeratin 19 on buccal mucosa epithelial cells.

Abstract:
Abstract
Objective: The objective of this case study was to investigate the efficacy of Minimum Intervention Dentistry (MID) to manage caries in a child with dental anxiety.
Materials & Methods: The research was conducted using PubMed and Google scholar databases. It focused on reviewing the relevant articles dated from 2004 to 2016. A nine year old girl was selected as a subject. She has a past history of dental anxiety. Her dental anxiety was assessed using the Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale (MCDAS). It showed that the child may have dental anxiety associated with incompliance. In addition, a caries risk assessment was performed using CAMBRA. The result revealed that the patient has a high risk of caries. This was managed by implementing the MID approach which focused to provide a positive experience for this child.
Results: The results indicated that the implementation of MID approach tried to build up a trustworthy and positive relationship between the clinician and child. It may have contributed to increase patient’s tolerance for accepting dental treatment. Overall, the MID approach tried to provide a positive dental experience to the child.
Conclusion: It has been concluded that MID is an effective approach which may contribute to manage caries in a child with dental anxiety. This approach can play an important role to acclimatize the patient to dental environment. Overall, it may enhance oral health, general health and quality of life of patients.
