Prevalence of medically compromised conditions in dental patients
2009
Objectives: To study the prevalence of medically compromised conditions in patients seeking dental treatments at the Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University. Study design: The fi les of 58,317 patients seeking dental treatments at the Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University from 2002-2004 were retrieved and reviewed for medically compromised conditions. Results: From a total of 58,317 patients, 7,167 patients (12.2%) had medically compromised conditions. The fi ve most prevalent conditions in descending order were allergy, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart diseases and thyroid diseases. Conclusions: Even though the prevalence of medically compromised conditions in dental …
Expression of pro-inflammatory protein, iNOS, VEGF and COX-2 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), relationship with angiogenesis and their clinico…
2009
One main etiology for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is inflammation. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) are the important molecules showing close relation to not only inflammation but also carcinogenesis and angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is defined as the formation of new blood vessels from existing vasculature. It is necessary for tumor growth and progression and also involved in metastasis. The objective of this research was to study the expression and relationship among iNOS, VEGF, COX-2, angiogenesis and their clinico-pathological correlation in OSCC. In this study, standard indirect immunohistochemical techn…
Pleomorphic adenoma of the palate in a child: A case report
2009
Salivary gland tumors are rare in children and the incidence differs from the adult counterpart. When salivary gland tumors do arise in children, they preferentially affect major salivary glands, but minor salivary gland tumors have also been reported. We reported the first case of palatal pleomorphic adenoma in a 13 year-old child from Thailand. She came to Sawanpracharak hospital with the chief complaint of a swelling at the left side of the palate. The oral mucosa covering the lesion was intact. Occlusal radiograph revealed no bony destruction. Incisional biopsy was performed on this patient. The biopsy showed several ducts which were lined by cuboidal cells. These ducts were surrounded …
