ABSTRACTObjective:To evaluate the effectiveness of patient-chosen appointment reminder methods (phone call, e-mail, or SMS text) in reducing no-show rates.Materials and Methods:This was a retrospective case study that determined the correlation between patient-chosen appointment reminder methods and no-show rates in a private orthodontic practice. This study was conducted in a single office location of a multioffice private orthodontic practice using data gathered in 2015. The subjects were patients who self-selected the appointment reminder method (phone call, e-mail, or SMS text). Patient appointment data were collected over a 6-month period. Patient attendance was analyzed with descriptive statistics to determine any significant differences among patient-chosen reminder methods.Results:There was a total of 1193 appointments with an average no-show rate of 2.43% across the three reminder methods. No statistically significant differences (P = .569) were observed in the no-show rates between the three methods: phone call (3.49%), e-mail (2.68%), and SMS text (1.90%).Conclusions:The electronic appointment reminder methods (SMS text and e-mail) had lower no-show rates compared with the phone call method, with SMS text having the lowest no-show rate of 1.90%. However, since no significant differences were observed between the three patient-chosen reminder methods, providers may want to allow patients to choose their reminder method to decrease no-shows.

Chronic periodontitis is among the most prevalent oral diseases in the world. Apart from its destructive outcomes in the oral cavity, there is a strong evidence of the potential association between chronic periodontitis and systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and preterm low birth weight. In this paper, the potential contributing factors which lead to chronic periodontitis will be      determined among the patients attending Islamabad Dental Hospital by response surface methodology (RSM) and decision tree (DT) analysis. The results of this study show that the prevalence of severe chronic periodontitis is high in patients who have not brushed their teeth (23.5%) and for the case without the severity of chronic periodontitis (61.1%). Whereas, from the RSM analysis, it is shown that there is an association between chronic periodontitis, diabetic status, and frequency of smoking. However, using DT analysis, age and frequency of brushing were the best predictors of severe chronic periodontitis. This present study concludes that by using RSM and DT analysis can predict a better forecasting result in future for the decision making among the decision maker.

Objective: Thalassemia b major is one of inheredited blood disorder caused by abnormality hemoglobin. Thalassemia b major is widely found in population Mediteranian with prevalent ±25.000 case. The abnormal form of hemoglobin chain will lead to erythrocytes damage in <120 days and will distrurb osteogenesis process. This condition caused patient with thalassemia b major require blood transfusion. The purpose of this paper is to describe an oral manifestation of thalassemia b major.Methods: the patient (5 years old) came to dental hospital of Jenderal Soedirman University with his mother for having teeth treatment. The patient was diagnosed thalassemia b major since 1 years old of and has had regular blood transfusion every month. An examination of intraoral examination showed pale oral mucose (purplish), profound caries on 85th teeth exposed to pulp, overbite 4mm, overjet 3mm, deep palatum, and the extraoral examination showed special face shape.Results: Clinical examinations performed on patients showed the characteristics of cooley-face and the cephalo-tracing x-ray result, the were <SNA = 86o, <SNB = 81o, <ANB = 5o, and <FH-Man = 35o. Based on the radiographic results it can be seen that patients with thalassemia have skeletal class II tendency and there is more anterior or protusive appearence of maxillary growth.Conclusion: Thalassemia sufferers have oral manifestations which are characterized by Cooley-face. Patients with thalassemia have skeletal class II tendency and there is more anterior or protusive appearence of maxillary growth.Keyword: Hemoglobin, Oral manifestation, Thalassemia b mayor.
