VICE CHANCELLOR’S SPEECH

PROFESSOR DATO’ IR. DR. MOHD HAMDI BIN ABD. SHUKOR
Vice Chancellor
University of Malaya

Assalamualaikum wbt and my warmest greetings to all.

It is my pleasure to welcome all of you to the 2nd UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA - CHINA MEDICAL UNIVERSITY JOINT
POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM 2021.

Allow me to congratulate the Dean, Prof Dr. Zamri Radzi and all members of the Faculty of Dentistry on their
Golden Jubilee Year Celebration. You have arranged several very interesting activities within the limitations of the
present global situation and this Symposium is an excellent example of that achievement. Congratulations.

Covid 19 and the pandemic that followed has exposed us to many challenges in the field of higher education. It
truly challenged academics to deploy ICTs effectively to create, improve, store, use
and share aspects of their curricula with students and peers. It also taught us that inter‐institutional collaboration
and team teaching can enhance virtual education. Limited human and financial resources and the quality of
teaching, learning, research, and course offerings can all be maximized by this collaborative sharing of knowledge
and resources. It also addresses the concerns of reducing duplication and increasing enrolments in under-enrolled
courses. Collaboration in academic research can be difficult to start and keep on track; however, its potential
benefits to institutions of higher education, students, and faculties are tremendous. It paves the way for equal
partnership between academic faculty members from different culture and environment who are pursuing
mutually interesting and beneficial research. One other significant manifestation of a 'classroom without walls' is
the quality of the interactions that they can foster.

This 2nd UM-CMU Joint Symposium is a good example of this collaborative, classroom without walls experience. I
was informed that this joint symposium, that began with the intention of developing opportunities for clinical and
laboratory research collaboration among the Academics and Postgraduate community of these two dental
institutions from ROC Taiwan and Malaysia, has today brought together researchers from 15 partner dental
institutions from 10 countries. I look forward to an active collaboration, not only in the field of research but also
exchange of knowledge and skills in academics and services. Let this be the catalyst for better and meaningful
cooperation in the future.

From the itinerary that was provided to me, I can see many interesting and diverse topics being presented at this
symposium. And it is indeed wonderful to be able to hear not only from distinguished speakers in the field of dental
research, but more than 60 postgraduate students from various disciplines in dentistry presenting studies that can
impact not only their own community but reaching out to a larger community in a true global village environment
with no financial burden attached to it.

I sincerely congratulate the Organizing Committee for this great effort and wish all participants the very best. Stay
safe and happy sharing and learning. With that, I formally officiate the 2nd UM-CMU Joint Postgraduate Research
Symposium 2021.

Thank you.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t and good morning to all.

Thank you for joining us in the 2nd UM-CMU Joint Research Program Symposium 2021, hosted by the
University of Malaya. This year, this symposium is part of our historical event, as we celebrate the 50th year of
existence, the Golden Jubilee of the Faculty of Dentistry ,University of Malaya.

First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our guest of honour, the Vice Chancellor of
University of Malaya, the Dean of the China Medical University Dental Faculty, our keynote speakers, all the
scientific presenters from our partner universities, our kind sponsors and all delegates to this virtual
conference. Thank you for joining us on this splendid day!

Congratulations to the organizing committee on a job well done. This last two years have not been short of
surprises for all of us; not only in our routine day-to-day activities but also our academic field involving our
teaching-learning, research, and services approaches. It is noteworthy to mention that with the dedicated
persistency and hard work of staff from both the universities, we have managed to bring everybody on to this
virtual platform today. This symposium is the testament of the commitment of our collaboration.

This event, marking our second ever joint symposium for UM and CMU, is indeed very special for us. Dentistry
is a hands-on field of specialization that requires application of all major senses. Face to face sessions are
essential in building the psychomotor skills of dental practitioners. However, the global experience of this
pandemic has stalled most of the face to face conventional methods of teaching and learning thus lead us to
embrace information technology as a tool of learning. Nevertheless, this technology migration has brought us
even closer together as distance is no longer a limit. The perseverance of our academicians and learners in
seeking knowledge and improving their personal skills have also helped them to overcome all the obstacles of
the recent past.

This symposium allows us all to be together, on a common platform at the comfort of our own spaces, to
listen and learn from the experts and budding specialists from the various disciplines of dentistry. It also gives
us the opportunity to network, and build bridged across borders for the betterment of our service to our
community

I sincerely hope all delegates will enjoy and benefit from what we have put together for you. Have a great
time, enjoy the conference and I wish you all a good day.

Take care and stay safe.

Thank you.

Objective
The objective of this study is to observe structural changes and lesion activity of early occlusal pit
and fissure caries on primary teeth using Cross-Polarization Optical Coherence Tomography (CP-
OCT). The hypothesis is that CP-OCT will be able to successfully identify the presence of a
transparent surface zone of reduced reflectivity that is indicative of remineralization and an arrested
lesion.

Methods
Participants (n=30 with 61 primary molars) aged 6-10 years old participated in the study. All lesions
were clinically examined and given a diagnosis according to the International Caries Detection and
Assessment System (ICDAS) codes. All lesions were then scanned with CP-OCT. Images were
converted and analyzed with image analysis software.

Results
OCT scans showed that 57 teeth (93%) had pit and fissure lesions and 4 teeth (7%) were without
lesions. Several teeth, n=16 (26%), showed a distinct surface zone that indicated arrested lesions.
Most of the teeth, n=45 (74%), did not show evidence of surface zone, indicative of active lesions.
Several of the teeth, n=11 (18%), had lesions that were visible with OCT but were not visible in the
visual examination.

Conclusion
OCT can detect early occlusal caries that cannot be identified on radiographs or through a clinical
exam. OCT can provide information on lesion activity by detecting the presence of a transparent
surface zone, indicative of lesion arrest, and can precisely show the depth of the lesions. OCT will be
a valuable tool in the future that can provide useful information to the clinicians to aid with their
diagnosis of early occlusal pit and fissure caries.

CLINICAL COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE EFFICACY OF INTRA-LINGUAL VERSUS INTRA-
MASSETERIC INJECTION OF METHYLPREDNISOLONE IN REDUCING POST-OPERATIVE
DISCOMFORT FOLLOWING THIRD MOLAR SURGERY

Low Li Fong1, Daniel Lim Khim Hock1
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya,
50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Background
Third molar surgery is commonly associated with post-operative sequelae like pain, swelling and
trismus, which significantly impact patient’s quality of life in the immediate post-operative period.
Steroids have been widely studied for their role in alleviating post-operative morbidity with good
results observed, however no conclusions could be drawn on the best route of administration.

Objective
To compare the effect of intra-lingual and intra-masseteric methylprednisolone injection on the post-
operative sequelae after mandibular third molar surgery.

Methods
In this prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial, seventy patients who required surgical
removal of impacted mandibular third molars with similar difficulty index were included. Patients were
randomly assigned to one of the three study groups: intra-lingual group (n=23) which received 40mg
methylprednisolone injection into tongue musculature, intra-masseteric group (n=24) which received
injection of 40mg methylprednisolone into masseteric muscle and control group (n=23) which
received no methylprednisolone injection. Facial swelling, trismus and pain assessment was
performed on post-operative day (POD)1,2,5 and 7. On post-operative day 7, wound healing was
assessed. A multivariate analysis was computed and significance level was set at P<.05.

Results
Both intra-lingual and intra-masseteric groups showed significant reduction in facial swelling ( POD 1
and 2)(P<.001), reduction in trismus (POD 1, 2, 5 and 7)(P<.001) and reduction in pain intensity
(POD 1)(P<.05) compared to control group. There was no significant statistical difference between
intra-lingual and intra-masseteric groups in terms of reduction of swelling, trismus and pain. Amount
of analgesics consumed was not significantly different between methylprednisolone groups and
control group. No impairment of wound healing was noted in all study groups.

Conclusion
A single pre-emptive dose of intra-lingual or intra-masseteric injection of 40mg methylprednisolone
was equally effective in reducing post-operative facial swelling, pain and trismus. It presents a useful
alternative route for corticosteroids administration in third molar surgery.

Objective
Currently, it takes 2-3 years to finish an orthodontic treatment. If we can accelerate tooth movement
by low level lasers, we could greatly reduce total treatment time. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
has been applied in orthodontic tooth movement, stimulating formation of osteoclast-like cells
expression in vitro.

Methods
Osteoclasts can be served as an index for tooth movement. Increasing the number of osteoclasts will
increase bone resorption rate during orthodontic treatment and thus accelerate orthodontic tooth
movement. Therefore, we plan to find a useful clinical protocol to improve the efficiency of
orthodontic tooth movement by application of low level lasers in vitro. Differentiation of osteoclasts in
vitro was observed and compared.

Results
As a result, we found an effective wavelength and irradiation time to stimulate formation of
osteoclasts with a view to facilitating bone metabolism and to reducing orthodontic treatment time.

Conclusion
The low level laser seems to stimulate osteoclast differentiation and thus shows an optimistic
orthodontic approach.

Objectives
To use Urban Health Index (UHI) methodology to calculate and map the health inequalities in Sao
Paulo city. Health determinants were amalgamated into a single metric for small census areas, which
were geocoded, producing a map of health risk.

Methods
Based on the recommendation of the World Health Organization seven indicators were selected from
Brazilian census: (1) proportion of homes with access to piped sewerage, (2) proportion of homes
served by regular waste collection service, (3) proportion of homes with two or more toilets, (4)
proportion of homes receiving piped water, (5) average income per home, (6) percentage of white
people and (7) literacy rate. According to the UHI methodology, all health indicators were
standardised and amalgamated into a single metric at census tract level. The UHI results were
geocoded producing a map of health risk.

Results
The distribution of index values demonstrated a usual shape of the UHI, a linear intermediate section
with deviations at each end. It was found a high disparity ratio (2.95) and a moderate disparity slope
(0.30). The UHI map displayed a characteristic arrangement of health inequality between the centre
and periphery. Centrally located tracts exhibited higher UHI values ​than those located on the
outskirts of the city.

Conclusions
The results of this work present Socio-economic inequality has a destructive effect on a society
health. Higher prevalence of disease was found in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas (Bortz,
2015). Thus, the population from areas with lower UHI values ​are at greater risk of poor health. a
visual distribution of disparities among the population of São Paulo city, a valuable tool to identify
health needs that require public health attention.

Objective
The use of an impacted tooth classification system based on position and severity is expected to
improve communication and interdisciplinary treatment planning determination. Orthopantomography
(OPG) imaging is the most frequently performed imaging currently in dentistry, especially in oral and
maxillofacial surgery in preoperative assessment. These imaging limitations often lead to changes in
the management of care. Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an imaging technique that
able to produce multiplan images, its three-dimensional makes it easier to see the position and tissue
around the impacted lower third molar.

Methods
This quantitative descriptive study, using this analytical observational method, was to assess
whether the OPG and CBCT imaging modalities were equivalent to clinical features in determining
the degree of third molar impaction according to the classification parameters of Pell & Gregory and
Winter. Two oral and maxillofacial radiologists examined the OPG and CBCT features of at least 1
mandibular third molar. The degree of agreement between OPG and CBCT was presented, and the
modalities of the images were compared with the Annova test.

Results
Percentage of approval by comparing OPG and CBCT assessments. There are differences in
classification impacted mandibular third molars. CBCT is more precise in classification impacted
mandibular third molars, with CBCT accuracy being better in determining treatment plans.

Conclusion
There is a difference in intermodality agreement regarding the degree of impacted of third molars
using CBCT with orthopantomography, which in turn can influence treatment planning.

Objectives
1. To culture human fibroblasts in vitro from healthy patient tissue sample
2. To assess the osteogenic differentiation rate of cultured human fibroblast, using osteogenic

induction medium with the addition of Melatonin quantified by Alkaline phosphatase and Bone
sialoprotein.
3. To assess time reduction for the osteogenic differentiation of fibroblasts with the addition of
Melatonin.

Methods
Healthy Tissue sample of participants were collected and cultured overnight from which, fibroblasts were
mechanically separated and cultured in DMEM, antimicrobial mix and 10% FBS. On the 14th day of
subculture, the 5th cell passage was assessed using direct microscopic visualisation by oral pathologists.
The cultured fibroblast was separated into 3 groups: a control group with a basic medium, an induction
group where a combination of β-GCP, dexamethasone and ascorbic acid were used and a test group
where the induction medium was used with the addition of 0.10mMoles/l of Melatonin. ELISA levels of
human Alkaline phosphatase and Bone sialoprotein were assessed for all three groups at
baseline,7th,14th and 21st days of culture to quantify osteogenic differentiation rate. All three groups were
also stained using Alizarin red on the 21st day.

Results
Human gingival fibroblasts were cultured after 14 days with 80% confluence on the fifth passage.
Histological analysis with Alizarin red revealed stronger staining in the test group as compared to control
with an increase in the levels of Alkaline phosphatase and bone sialoprotein from baseline to the 21st day.

Conclusions
1. Direct explant technique was effective in culturing human fibroblasts, which underwent osteogenic
differentiation.

2. Melatonin was found to increase the number of osteoblasts with evidence of calcified nodules in the
test group as compared to Induction group suggesting a potential role in bone regeneration.

3. The time required for osteogenic differentiation of fibroblasts was found to be independent of the
addition of Melatonin.

Objective
To identify the changes in colour, weight and degree of conversion (DC) following conditioning in
different dietary solvents

Methods
Samples for this study consists of direct composite (Filtek Z350 [FZ]), indirect Composite (Ceramage
[CM]) and CAD-CAM composites (Shofu HC [HC], Cerasmart [CS],Vita Enamic [VE],Lava Ultimate
[LU].Samples of a standard measurement (12 x 14 x 1.5mm) were divided into six groups (n=12) and
were conditioned in the following media for 1 week at 37°C: air (control), distilled water, 0.02 N citric
acid, 0.02 N lactic acid, heptane, and 50% ethanol-water solution. Weight change post conditioning
was measured using an analytical balance (Sartorius BP161P, Minden, Germany). Colour change in
the form of ΔE, and translucency parameter (TP) was measured using a spectrophotometer (CM-5,
Konica Minolta Sensing Europe B.V) and DC was assessed using FT-IR spectrometer (Nicolet 6700,
Thermo Scientific). Inter-medium and inter-material comparisons were performed with one-way
analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey test for weight and colour change. For TP, a paired T test
was done. The significance level was p<0.05.

Results
Weight change was significant for all materials in all dietary solvents. Regardless of the solvent in
which the samples were conditioned, LU had the highest and CM had the lowest weight change.
Significant change in colour was only observed when immersed in 50% Ethanol-water. Significant
changes in translucency were only noted for FZ in lactic acid and HC in Heptane. The DC changes
was only evident for FZ

Conclusion
CAD/CAM composites did undergo colour and weight changes post conditioning with dietary
solvents despite being acclaimed for superior physical properties.
However, after conditioning, only direct composite (FZ) showed changes in DC as compared to
indirect and CAD/CAM dental composites.

Objective
To evaluate the effect of the insertion depth, bone type and implant diameter on the short implant
primary stability.

Material and Methods
Commercial dental implants with different length (6mm and 8mm) were inserted into the artificial
foam bone specimen (good bone and poor bone, which mimicked the bone quality at posterior
mandible and posterior maxilla regions, respectively) at various depths. Four groups were organized:
(Group 1) 6mm implant inserted into good bone with equicrestal, subcrestal 1mm and subcrestal
2mm position; (Group 2) 8mm implant inserted into good bone with equicrestal, subcrestal 1mm and
subcrestal 2mm position; (Group 3) 6mm implant inserted into poor bone with equicrestal, subcrestal
1mm and subcrestal 2mm position; (Group 4) 8mm implant inserted into poor bone with equicrestal,
subcrestal 1mm and subcrestal 2mm position. Implants were inserted into specimens under
manufacturer’s instructions by using Nobel Biocare OsseoSet implant motor. The Insertion torque
value (ITV) was recorded spontaneously during implant procedure. In addition, the Periotest value
(PTV) and implant stability quotient (ISQ) were also measured for all specimens. The effects of
insertion depth, bone type and short implant diameter on the ITV, PTV and ISQ were analyzed using
SPSS software.

Results and Conclusion
As the insertion depth increase, the primary stability of all groups decrease. Longer implant or
implant inserted in good quality bone yield a greater primary stability. However, compared with 6mm
and 8mm implant, bone quality seemed to have more impact on primary stability.

Conclusion
When 6mm short implants were inserted to a subcrestal position, lower primary stability may be
yielded, especially in poor bone.

Objective
The main aim of healthcare, in this case dentistry, is to prevent rather than provide complex
emergency treatment which is of course also more costly and less effective.
This study investigated the association between unplanned dental presentations at the Perth
Children’s Hospital (PCH) and socioeconomic status and the associated previous admissions to
PCH.

Methods
Ethics was obtained before commencement. A retrospective analysis of 351 unplanned dental
presentations at PCH was performed. Socioeconomic status of children was based on the Socio-
economic Index for Area (SEIFA), for suburbs. Moreover, QGIS was used for mapping the
distribution of patients’ residential locations.

Results
Dental infection and trauma were the main reasons for unplanned dental presentations. More than
half of those who presented due to dental infection had at least once previous admission at PCH due
to other reasons. Patients who presented with dental infection were more likely to have previous
visits to a community nurse or social worker, while those who presented due to trauma, were more
likely to have had previous visits at orthopaedic or fracture wards of the same hospital.
The rate (per 100 000 children) for those who presented with infection was lower for high
socioeconomic suburbs, while there was no major difference between socioeconomic index for those
who presented for trauma. It was also noted that about two-thirds of patients who came from outside
of Perth metropolitan areas presented because of dental infection.

Conclusion
Public health interventions should aim to promote preventive oral health care, especially for low
socioeconomic children. Community nurses and social workers can potentially play a role in reducing
emergency dental admissions through early intervention strategies.

Introduction
Periodontal regeneration surgical therapy using bone graft in dentistry has long been developed and
used until now. There are several types of bone graft materials that are commonly used for tooth-
supporting alveolar bone defects. In the literature calcium carbonate is able to facilitate the
proliferation of osteoblasts, accelerate the production of extracellular matrix, and mineralization.
Pinctada maxima which is one of the shells containing 97% calcium carbonate, this material has
been cultivated in the Pangkep Islands, South Sulawesi, has also been studied in several countries
as bone graft material, but there are still few studies using this species in Indonesia.

Objective
To assess the effectiveness of calcium carbonate from pearl oyster shells as a bone graft material on
the process of bone regeneration.

Methods
This type of research is an experimental laboratory. This study was conducted on 30 guinea pigs
consisting of 10 guinea pigs in the intervention group of xenograft pearl shells, 10 guinea pigs in the
positive control group with hydroxyapatite (batan), and 10 guinea pigs in the negative control group
without treatment. After 14 and 21 days, the guinea pigs were sacrifice for immunohistohimia
examination to see the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG).

Results
In the group that used calcium carbonate from pearl oyster shells as a bone graft material in male
Cavia Porcellus bone lesions, OPG expression increased.
Conclusions : Pearl shells have the potential to be used as a periodontal tissue regeneration bone
graft material.

Objective
Delivery of proper oral health care with necessary diet recommendations to elderly people is not
practiced due to lack of knowledge of the importance of geriatric health and nutrition. The main
objective of this study is to assess Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Geriatric Health and Nutrition
among dental practitioners providing prosthodontic care through a set of questionnaires from all over
India.

Methodology
A cross-sectional study was conducted amongst 462 dental practitioners all over India and data was
collected by means of a questionnaire. In addition to the informed consent and demographic data,
the questionnaire consisted of 3 open ended & 18 close ended questions. One-way ANOVA, Post
Hoc Bonferroni tests and descriptive statistics was done to analyse the data using SPSS v25.

Results
The results encased that on comparison with private practitioners, Institutional practitioners showed
high positive attitude in implementing geriatric health and nutrition in their practice and in
comparison, with general practitioners and other specialists, Prosthodontists have fairly sufficient
knowledge, and they tend to implement geriatric health and nutrition more in their practice.

Conclusion
Despite the limitations of the study, we were able to record the obvious lack of geriatric health and
nutrition in routine dental practice. It is necessary to increase the awareness regarding geriatric
health and nutrition and dietary counselling amongst dental professionals and the patients as well to
improvise the oral health and systemic condition as a whole.

Key words
Geriatric health, Knowledge & Practice, Nutrition, Prosthodontic care.

Objective
To study the role of CLIC1 on the aggressiveness and progression of Oral Squamous Cell
Carcinoma (OSCC) through ITGβ/ERK signaling mechanisms

Methods
A total of 74 samples were collected out of which 64 were OSCC fresh tissue samples and blood
samples and 10 were healthy control samples were collected. mRNA expression of CLIC1, MMP2,
ITG-B1, caspase 3 was assessed using Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction and protein
expression of CLIC1, vimentin and caspase 3 was assessed using western blot analysis. ELISA
expression of CLIC1 and MMP9 was done for serum samples. The data was compiled in Microsoft
excel 2010 and statistics was done using SPSS 20. p<0.05 was considered to be statistically
significant.

Results
We observed a significant upregulation of CLIC1 in OSCC tissue samples. Significant correlation of
CLIC1 expression with other molecular markers such as ITG-B1, MMP2 and caspase 3 was
observed. CLIC1 upregulation was associated with upregulation of ITG-B1 and MMP2 and
downregulation of caspase 3. Higher expression of CLIC1 was seen in patients with stage IV OSCC,
lymphovascular and peri-neural invasion. Increased serum level expression of CLIC1, MMP9 was
observed in patients with OSCC.

Conclusion
Thus, CLIC1 could be a possible tumor marker and a therapeutic target for OSCC. CLIC1 can also
be a potential biomarker to predict the biological behavior of OSCC thereby aiding in patient
categorization for treatment
