Issue:

Vol 56, Issue 1 (2007)

Pages:

96–8

Synopsis:

A study was carried out to assess the dental caries status of children from fisher folk communities in South India. The prevalence of dental caries was found to be high in the study population. Further research is suggested to explore the existing scenario.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the dental caries status and treatment needs of children belonging to the fisher folk
communities.

Evaluation of hβD-1 and hβD-2 Levels in Saliva of Patients with Oral Mucosal Diseases

Issue:

Vol 62, Issue 3: Mar (2013)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2012.315

Pages:

230–8

Synopsis:

A chromatographic method was applied to determine the amount of human beta-defensin 1 and 2 (hβD-1 and hβD- 2) in human saliva of patients with oral mucosal diseases before and after treatments and compared with controls.

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study aimed to determine a possible correlation between oral mucosal disease and salivary concentrations of the antimicrobial peptides human beta-defensin-1 (hβD-1) and human betadefensin-2 (hβD-2).

Urinary Fluoride Levels in Children in a Single School in Trinidad and Tobago: A Preliminary Investigation

Issue:

Vol 55, Issue 6 (2006)

Pages:

440–3

ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine urinary fluoride levels in school children in a non-fluoridated area in Trinidad and Tobago.

Method: Morning urine samples were requested from 750 children aged 5 to 14 years, attending a primary school in the area of St Joseph, north west Trinidad. Urine was collected at home and brought to school in labelled plastic bottles. Urinary fluoride concentration (ppm) was measured using an ionspecific electrode.

A New Radiological Classification for Ameloblastoma Based on Analysis of 19 Cases

Issue:

Vol 55, Issue 6 (2006)

Pages:

434–9

Synopsis:

An analysis of l9 cases of ameloblastoma is conducted in young Jamaicans. A new classification for ameloblastoma based on radiology is adopted and linked to the surgical management of ameloblastoma. No case simulating the classical dentigerous cyst was documented. The paper offers a new radiological classification which can assist in the management of ameloblastoma.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe ameloblastoma of the jawbone in young Jamaicans, with special emphasis on radiological findings, and to introduce a radiological classification which could assist in the categorization of these cases according to their biological behaviour and hence their subsequent surgical and medical management.

Pages:

393–7

Synopsis:

The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the clinical outcome of hydroxyapatite-coated root-form dental implants during a six-week course.

ABSTRACT

Background: The effect of hydroxyapatite coating of dental implants is controversial. The long-term fate of hydroxyapatite-coated implants has been the subject of some criticism.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the clinical outcome of hydroxyapatitecoated cylindrical root-form endosseous Impladent dental implants (LASAK Ltd, Prague, Czech Republic) during a six-year course.
