This study aimed to assess the ability of dental students and recent graduates to detect and recognize mucosal changes that are suggestive of oral cancer and potentially malignant disorders. In this cross-sectional study, a questionnaire was administered to dental students and recent graduates of Ajman University (n = 132). Completed questionnaires were received from 84 (63.6%) females and 48 (36.4%) males which included fifth-year students (n = 80), interns (n = 39), and dental practitioners (n = 13). This questionnaire was designed to assess the respondent’s ability to detect and recognize different types of oral lesions, as well as their knowledge of oral cancer appearance and malignancy potential. The overall accuracy of diagnosis was 46%. The participants correctly identified normal variations, benign tumors, malignant tumors, and premalignant lesions at rates of 60.3%, 31.0%, 55.7%, and 33.4%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two genders in their ability to recognize and detect correct answers (females, 48.3%; males, 47.2%). According to education level, interns provided the highest percentage of correct answers (52.5%), followed by newly dental practitioners (51.9%) and fifth-year students (44.1%). Conclusion: The respondents of this survey did not exhibit a satisfactory diagnostic capability in recognizing mucosal changes consistent with the clinical presentation of oral cancer. Thus, a need exists for improved and updated educational methods for undergraduate students regarding oral cancer and potentially malignant disorders. Meanwhile, practitioners should look for oral abnormalities to provide better diagnosis and management. Practitioners should also stay up to date on the oral malignancy topic by attending workshops and clinicopathological conferences.

The dental management of an 8-year-old girl with osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis (OS-CS) is described. The girl presented with various oral abnormalities. The aim of this case report was to describe in detail the dental findings in a patient with OC-CS and the precautions to be taken when planning treatment. In the present case, many dental anomalies, such as delayed eruption of the permanent teeth, obliteration of the dental pulp, short roots, fused roots and taurodontism, were detected. In patients with OS-CS, routine dental care from an early stage is recommended to manage this anomaly properly.

Oral Conditions

Oral disease is frequently associated with HIV. Factors that predispose to HIV-related oral conditions include CD4+ cell count of less than 200/μL, plasma HIV RNA levels greater than 3000 copies/mL, xerostomia, poor oral hygiene, and smoking. While nearly all oral disorders associated with HIV infection also occur in other conditions characterized by immunosuppression, no other condition is associated with as wide and significant a spectrum of oral disease as is HIV infection. Many HIVassociated oral disorders occur early in HIV infection, not infrequently as the presenting sign or symptom. Thus, early detection of associated oral disease should, in many cases, result in earlier diagnosis of HIV infection. HIV-related oral abnormalities are present in 30% to 80% of HIV-infected individuals, and these abnormalities are often inaccurately described in medical care. Rates of treatment for oral conditions are also very low; findings in 1424 adults in the AIDS Cost and Utilization Study indicated that only 9.1% received treatment for oral manifestations of HIV diseases. Factors predictive of receiving oral care included education beyond a high school level, participation in clinical trials, and utilization of support services such as medical social workers. Likewise, awareness of the variety of oral disorders which can develop throughout the course of HIV infection, and coordination of health care services between physician and dentist, should improve overall health and comfort of the patient. This paper reviews the clinical aspects of HIV-associated oral disorders.

Oral Abnormalities

ABSTRACT The concept of cancer genetics is relatively new and considered more in prostate and breast cancer. Its role in OSCC has never been given much attention, which is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide. It is a tumour which can be treated by simple surgical procedure, if diagnosed at an early stage. Oral cavity and oropharynx are easily accessible for visualization. But high prevalence of oral abnormalities (5-15%) detected as a result of oral screening programmes (OSP) subjects large number of patients for biopsy which is impractical. Detection of early stage oral cancer is significantly impaired by absence of classic clinical characteristics of advanced oral cancer in early stage lesions. This influences 5 year survival rate for 80% of patients, despite major advances in surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy. Many gene alterations have been implicated in development and progression of OSCC. Genetic differences is an important consideration to determine individual differences in susceptibility to chemical carcinogens. Many genetic changes are commonly observed in oral cancers. Salivary Transcriptome Diagnostics, based on specific mRNA signature in saliva as diagnostic marker, can be a suitable tool for development of non invasive diagnostic, chemoprevention, prognostic and follow up tests for cancer and also to detect cancer conversion of premalignant lesions. To summarize research on genetics will open new directions for estimation of risk of human cancer and its early diagnosis.

Introduction: Non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma is one of hematologic malignancy that responds to chemotherapy. Chemotherapy agent can cause oral complication such as oral mucositis, hemorrhage, xerostomia, hyposalivation and periodontitist. The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical feature of the oral cavity in patients with non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma whose underwent chemotherapy  Method: This study used an observational descriptive method. This type of research is observational descriptive. The study population was non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma sufferers who were undergoing chemotherapy at the Hematology and Medical Oncology Outpatient Installation Division of Internal Medicine at Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung. The study sample was taken by consecutive sampling method The numbers of samples in this study were 30 people according to predetermined criteria. Result: The result shows that all samples have abnormalities of the oral cavity that patients who have an abnormality are amounted to 20% and patients who have more than one kind of oral abnormalities amounted to 80%. An abnormality of the oral cavity that the most often found in this study is xerostomia with hyposalivation. Conclusion: Clinical feature of the oral cavity in patients with non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma whose underwent chemotherapy are abnormalities in the oral cavity, where the number of samples that experienced more than one type of oral cavity abnormality was greater when compared to the number of samples with a kind of abnormality. Oral cavity. Most of the samples studied had oral cavity abnormalities in the form of serostomia accompanied by hyposalivation.
