Why Replace Missing Teeth?

2010-12-26T10:35:00.000-08:00

The Effects of Missing Teeth

The effects of missing teeth can be detrimental to your long term oral and medical health. Missing teeth are also recognized associated with old age and can make you look older than you are.

As bone loss caused by missing teeth continues, the face continues to shorten and show signs of age.

Replacing missing teeth can dramatically improve your smile and the shape of your face. This greatly enhances both your dental health and self-esteem.

Value of edges of the teeth and lips

An Off-bite Relationship

Having gaps where teeth are missing affects the way the jaw closes. The remaining teeth begin to tilt and drift into the gaps. In addition, food can become trapped in these spaces, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease. The tilting and drifting can also cause problems for the opposing teeth. An opposing tooth will begin to hyper erupt and begin to drift into the open space of the missing tooth, causing the opposing jaw-line to have bite relationship problems; thus beginning TMJ problems (problems with the jaw joint).

Such extracted spaces are detrimental to a person in that food is impacted between and it can irritate gum tissue. The illustration to the above shows how, given enough time, the remaining teeth can shift and drift when a tooth is lost. Such shifting takes time, but 10 to 20 years can, and often does, result in the situation pictured here.

Jawbone Deterioration

As soon as a tooth is lost, either from gum disease or an extraction, the supporting bone in the jaw begins to dissolve. This process is called resorption. The longer a tooth is missing, the greater the bone loss.

Your jawbone needs the chewing action of the teeth to stimulate it and keep it strong. Otherwise it will begin to disappear (atrophy) in the same manner that the unused muscles beneath a cast supporting a broken bone get smaller. Without the support of your teeth and facial bones, your face will begin to look prematurely aged. The good news is that tooth replacement with dental implants offers a solution to help prevent bone loss.

Over time, resorption of the jawbone has a considerable effect on quality of life and on the possibility of replacing the missing teeth. As teeth are lost it becomes more difficult to eat and chew food. Studies have shown that denture wearers eat only soft or mashed foods and or avoid many foods altogether. And over time, more and more of the jaw bone disintegrates until it becomes very difficult to place any dental restoration.

Benefits of Replacing a Tooth Immediately

A tooth should be replaced as soon as it is lost. This will retain your oral health by preventing bone loss, reducing movement of surrounding teeth and avoiding excess decay.

Teeth provide more functions than just the ability to chew. They are necessary for the health of the gum and jaw tissues as well, and a prolonged absence of a tooth will severely limit the possibilities for restorations. Missing teeth may also affect your confidence and well-being.

Periodontal Disease : Menjaga Gusi yang Sihat

2010-11-07T01:11:00.000-07:00

Bismillah.

Baru-baru ini, ramai pula ustaz yang bertanyakan keadaan gigi mereka. Ada yang katanya longgar, ada yang bernanah, ada yang gusi mudah berdarah, ada yang warna hitam muncul di gigi.

Jawab saya mudah saja : "Enta pi buat regular check up dengan doktor gigi." :P
Habis bising mereka kata mahal la, takut la, cuak dengan "drill", takut doktor cabut gigi la dan macam-macam lagi alasan.

Apapun, saya bukanlah yang selayaknya untuk memberikan jawapan yang tepat berkaitan rawatan secara spesifik. Contohnya kisah malam tadi di mana ade seorang mahasiswi di rumah atas kami yang baru mencabut gigi di klinik, tetapi gusinya masih berdarah selepas beberapa jam, meminta tolong cara menghentikan pendarahan. Ayat pertama saya adalah: "Kejut Acap!"(dia tidur awal) dan "Cuba tepon Apang!" (yg menutup telepon dan menghilang) :P . Tapi Alhamdulillah baik-baik saja lepas acap dah consult dengan beberapa rakan sekelasnya dan beritahu apa nak buat (org tak bertauliah dilarang mengganggu). :D Sekarang ramai dah rakan-rakan Dr Malaysia di Fakulti Pergigian Universiti Mansurah yang boleh melakukan rawatan, so silalah membuat appointment dengan mereka (pesanan ini dibawa oleh khidmat masyarakat... hehe).

Ok, setakat brief info, saya bolehlah sedikit sebanyak berkongsi. Since soalan famous yang selalu dapat ialah "kenapa gusi berdarah?" So jom lihat kenapa.

Apakah penyakit periodontal?

Penyakit 'periodontal' atau penyakit gusi ialah jangkitan bakteria kronik yang melibatkan gusi dan tulang yang menyokong gigi. Penyakit periodontal boleh melibatkan sebatang gigi atau lebih.

Apakah puncanya?

Penyakit 'periodontal' disebabkan oleh bakteria di dalam plak (selapaut gigi yang melekit dan tidak berwarna). Jika tidak dibersihkan menggunakan berus gigi dan flos setiap hari, plak boleh bertambah (dan menjadi keras membentuk tartar) dan bakteria ini juga akan menjangkiti tisu gusi dan tulang yang menyokong gigi. Jika proses ini berterusan, gigi menjadi semakin longgar. Poket gusi iaitu suatu ruang akan terbentuk di antara gigi dan gusi, dan membenarkan lebih banyak bakteria berkumpul.

Siapa yang berisiko?

Penyakit gusi boleh memberi kesan kepada mana-mana kumpulan umur, termasuk kanak-kanak (termasuk kanak-kanak gigi :P). Walau bagaimanapun, ia paling banyak melibatkan orang dewasa. Beberapa faktor yang boleh meningkatkan risiko ialah:

Merokok, bersyisya atau mengunyah tembakau
Penyakit seperti kencing manis
Gigi serong dan tidak teratur
Tampalan gigi yang telah rosak
Kehamilan atau penggunaan pil pencegah hamil

Apakah tanda-tanda penyakit periodontal?

Penyakit ini boleh berlaku tanpa tanda peringkat awal. Oleh itu, pemeriksaan gigi yang kerap sangat penting untuk diagnosis awal.

Tanda-tanda biasa termasuk:

Gusi merah, bengkak dan lembut
Gusi berdarah sewaktu memberus gigi
Gusi menyusut dari gigi
Nafas berbau atau rasa di dalam mulut yang tidak menyenangkan
Nanah di antara gigi dan gusi
Wujud ruang di antara gigi
Gigi longgar

Apakah peringkat-peringkat penyakit periodontal?

Gingivitis adalah peringkat awal penyakit 'periodontal' yang hanya melibatkan gusi sahaja dan masih boleh dirawat. Jika dibiarkan tanpa rawatan, gingivitis boleh menjadi lebih kronik dan menyebabkan periodontitis.

Bagaimanakah cara merawat penyakit gusi ini?

Penyakit peringkat awal boleh dirawat sebelum ia menjadi kronik dengan mendapatkan pemeriksaan doktor gigi yang kerap.
Peringkat awal penyakit gusi boleh dirawat dengan memberus gigi dan mem'flos' dengan betul.
Penjagaan kesihatan gigi yang baik akan mencegah pembentukan plak.
Pembersihan secara professional oleh doktor gigi adalah satu-satunya cara untuk menanggalkan plak yang telah mengeras menjadi tartar.
Jika keadaan menjadi teruk, prosedur membersihkan akar gigi boleh dibuat. Akar gigi yang bersih dan rata dapat mengelakkan plak dari melekat pada permukaannya.
Jika keadaan anda lebih kronik, dapatkan khidmat rawatan dan nasihat dari pakar pergigian anda.

So, jika anda tidak mahu menjaga kesihatan mulut anda, anda sebenarnya membuka peuang untuk pelajar dentistry untuk melakukan praktikal rawatan ke atas anda :P. Jadi jagalah kesihatan gigi dan gusi anda sebaiknya. Jika anda mengamalkan pembersihan mulut yang optimum (berus gigi dua kali sehari, berkumur dengan ubat kumur dan flos), membuang tabiat yang tidak sihat (merokok/megambil tembakau), dan makan diet yang seimbang dan mematuhi masa, selain selalu berjumpa doktor gigi anda, ini akan mengurangkan kos perbelanjaan rawatan yang lebih rumit dan menjimatkan masa anda.

Sayangilah kesihatan mulut dan badan anda.

Are You The Sensitive Type?

2010-10-19T04:21:00.000-07:00

Bismillah.

Yes, you're in the right blog if you were still wondering. And no, this ain't a motivational post that you gonna read. This is another simple explanation on another simple dental topic.

So again, are you the sensitive type?

What is dentine hypersensitivity?

Dentine hypersensitivity or as known as DH is a brief, sharp, painful sensation that strikes you when you consume hot/cold, sweet/sour food or beverages. The pain can also occur when you brush your teeth or when breathing in cold air into your mouth.

Brief Facts

DH is a widespread problem.
Around 40 of the adults suffer from dentine hypersensitivity.
Up to 98% of patients who undergo dental procedures are affected.
Patients who undergo dental procedures are 4 times more likely to develop DH.
DH occur more often between 30 and 40 years of age and affects women more than men.

What causes it?

2 things combined, causes dentine hypersensitivity. Its combination of enamel erosion and receding gums.
Factor leading to enamel erosion include:

Brushing too hard with too much pressure
Brushing immediately after meals (when your teeth is softened by acidic food or beverages)
Eating and drinking acidic food or beverages
Grinding your teeth during sleep

Factors leading to receding gum inlude:

Poor oral hygiene which can cause gingivitis, whereby the gum is inflamed and may bleed
Excessive brushing and flossing of teeth
Use of hard-bristled toothbrush

How to Prevent DH?

Prevention is definitely better than cure. However, even if you have already developed dentine hypersensitivity, there are still effective measures that you can use to prevent worsening of the condition.

Do

Practice good oral hygiene
Minimize your consumption of acidic foods and beverages such as pickled foods, yoghurt and acidic drinks
Brush twice daily with a desensitising toothpaste to reduce hypersensitivity
Use a soft-bristled, end-rounded toothbrush
Brush your teeth before meal times to avoid enamel erosion

Don't

Over brush with excessive pressure for a prolonged period of time
Excessively floss your teeth
Brush your teeth immediately after meals
Pick at your gums or use toothpicks inapprpriately
Use products containing harsh abrasives

Daily use of desensitizing toothpaste is the first-line treatment. Basically, they are non-invasive, efficious and inexpensive. Most of them contain Strontium Chloride, which acts as protective barrier on your teeth against external pain stimuli. And they also contain Potassium Nitrate, which prevents the transmission of pain signals in the nerves of your teeth.

Certain risk factor can predispose you to dentine hypersensitivity such as:

History of dental/periodontal treatment
Poor oral hygiene and dietary habit
Habit of excessive brushing/flossing
Habit of brushing teeth immediately after meals
Habit of grinding teeth, especially during sleep
Used products containing harsh abrasives
Regular consumption of acidic foods or beverages

But, the best way of curing/prevent this is by talking to your dentist. They can advise you on the daily solution to relieve your pain. Until then, do care your teeth, or else I might as well extract it rather than left it there to decay. Beware.

Freedom Flotilla : LifeLine4Gaza

2010-05-26T23:58:00.000-07:00

Bismillah.

I know that we are too busy with exams and other things in our life that we need to focus on, I still want to say this. "Where are we in Palestine crisis?"

For decades, we already heard and saw the news about what happen in the middle east. We have been fed with so many ideologies and the causes of the crisis.

Some take it lightly as its not their problem.
Some only sympathize and felt sad for those casualties for some time.
Some take it more seriously when there's an issue or situation like the January 2009 situation.
Some put it in their heart and hold it as they hold their principles.
Some already grasp it tightly and been spreading the cause to mankind.
Some take it to the higher level by readily to sacrifice themselves for this.

Where are you in these people?

We better start questioning ourselves about this issue as it shows how much humanity left inside us, not to say about where did our Aqidah (Faith) actually stand on.

And I'll clearly state that we don't hate the Jews. We will even send help if they are in the needs. But whom we hate, and whom we disgust is Zionist.

Zionist whom we hate is those who are against humanity.
We hate them because they declared others as non-equal for human rights as the Jews, and even define others as animal (Goyem) which can be killed mercilessly.
We hate them because they seized Palestinian land inches by inches with spilling Palestinian blood.
We hate them because they approve the killing of men, women, children, and old people for their sake.

And we already saw what kind of terrorism happen in Palestine that I and hundred thousands of people make a stance over this issue that we will not sit still and do nothing anymore. And more over, Al-Quds and Palestine is a Muslim issue.

Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi in his book "Al-Quds Qadhiyyah Kullu Muslim" listed the reasons why Palestine and Al-Quds is our problem.

1. Al-Quds (Al-Aqsa Mosque) is the first Qiblah for the Muslim. The place where Prophet Muhammad pbuh and his companion faced in their prayers in early time.

2. Al-Quds is the place of Isra' and Mi'raj of the Prophet pbuh. It's one blessed land for being the land where Prophet Muhammad was lifted to meet God.

3. Al-Quds is the third noblest holy city in Islam. The first holy city in Islam is Makkah which is blessed with Masjidil Haram. Second holy city is Madinah Al-Munawwarah which is blessed with Masjid An-Nabawi and tomb of the Prophet pbuh. And the third holy city in Islam is BaitulMaqdis and the land around it which is blessed with Masjid Al-Aqsa.

4. Al-Quds is the land of the prophets and the blessed land. In Al-Quran, prophet Muhammad pbuh was isra' and Mi'raj there. Prophet Ibrahim was also there. Prophet Moses (Musa) was also there in the pharaoh(Firaun) time. Prophet Sulaiman was there too with his kingdom.

5. Al-Quds the land of struggle and jihad. This is proven with the crisis which is going on there since the day of Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab till now.

As for these causes, many has stood up against the seizing of Palestine and the blockade of Gaza.

And now (May 2010) an armada with 8 ships carrying 10,000 tonnnes of aid and about 700-800 activists and politicians from more than 40 countries. The cargo includes building materials, medical supplies and paper for schools. One boat is carrying a complete dental surgery including drills. Crayons and chocolate are also on board for Gazan children. The cargo has been paid for by donations.

"We're trying to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip and tell the world that Israel has no right to starve 1.5 million Palestinians," said Greta Berlin, of the Free Gaza Movement, another organiser of the flotilla. "We are bringing in vitally needed supplies so the people of Gaza can rebuild their infrastructure."

The boats

• Four cargo ships
• Four passenger ships
• Coming from Turkey, Greece, Ireland

On board

• 700 to 800 peace activists and MPs from more than 40 countries
• 10,000 tonnes of supplies, including:

• Cement
• Generators
• Water purification equipment
• 20 tonnes of paper for schools
• Prefabricated homes
• $1m (£700,000) of medical equipment, including: CAT scanners' wheelchairs, crutches
• A complete dental surgery, including drills and a chair
• Sports equipment, including footballs and basketballs
• Crayons and pens
• Chocolate

Paid for

• By donations, ranging from $1.39 from an individual in Brunei to €300,000 (£256,000) collected in Malaysia

As for now, the ship is already set sail to Cyprus and meet other ships and enter Gaza sea together. Now, what we really need (said NGO's spokesman)

1. Your prayers. Nothing we need more than the need of God at all time. As Du'a is the best equipment and aid for us to reach Gaza. Gather round your family and friends and do Solat Hajat together so that all of us are aware of the situation.Pray that our Niat is only and only for Allah's sake, non other. And pray that with this mission, people from all over the world especially Muslim will unite to help their fellow brother and sister as a human.

2. Donation. The Gazan are in the need of many life supply as the Israeli government put blockade toward Palestine and Gaza especially the last 5 years. And for this (Freedom Flotilla), we don't have enough supply and donation and we already in debt with I.H.H (Turk's humaitary NGO) about 2.5 million Euros which they take from other humanitarian funds (africa, afghanistan, china etc.). And this convoy only bring the "basic" life supply, such as medical supply, food, and building equipment, electrical generators and other basic things. We will come again for the second time with other supply which will need your kind donation.

3. Boycott Israel products. As stated in recent Fatwa by scholars and clerics, we urge you to boycott all products and goods which will promote Israel. This include American products because they clearly state their support toward Israel and already funding in Israel military for the past years. Remember, 1 dollar you spend will be asked hereafter as you chose to oppress your fellow brothers and sisters.

4. Spread the cause. As known, Israel already vows not to let us enter Gaza, and some news stated that they already do military training and prepare detention place for 1000 activist on board. With people spreading this, all eye will be on Israel and may make them to back off from preventing us entering Gaza. Organize functions and tell everyone what happens so that everyone will know about this. Remember, this is also an issue of our faith. No Muslim are left behind in this. Inform you local media about this and request them to air this news from time to time.

5. Alert with any news. As we will be on the ship from now, the fastest we can go and back to Turk is within 15 days. BUT, we doubt that and it may take 15 weeks, or even 15 months. But rest assure that we will enter Gaza no matter how. Our primary plan is to enter Gaza, plan B is also entering Gaza, and plan C is also entering Gaza. This is one way ticket, and no turning back. And we beg for your cooperation in any request made by our crew. As there are threats from Israel, we absolutely have no idea what will happen out there that we need your cooperation. If something happen out there, and we need you to suppress your words, please do so. Especially those with Israeli embassy in their country.

Help your brothers and hope for blessing from Allah swt.

Any donation can be made to
Tabung Palestin HALUAN
Maybank 5-644-902-085-28

And if you're here (Mansurah), you can donate to anyone appointed for the Palestine donation (which before this is LLGMansurah in GelombangUmmah blog, but I don't know what happen after that - if there's already committee or people incharge of this, please do inform me) or you can forward the donations to me, which also will be directed to the appointed bank account.

(Nur Muhammad Abrar bin Mahmud - 016-5064448 - mrluffy2007@yahoo.co.uk),

Remember, its a continuous work, not just for some time. And furthermore, this work isn't the one which you can brag about. If I just want popularity, then I can get it easier than this. Always remember our niat and intention. Anyone who is capable of any work at all are welcome to help.

Remember, Silent IS Complicity.

Kecederaan pada gigi - apa nak buat?

2010-04-22T23:31:00.000-07:00

Bismillah.

Sekadar bacaan ringan.

Sering terjadi apabila seseorang mengalami kecederaan pada gigi, dia tidak tahu apakah yang sepatutnya dilakukan untuk merawat kecederaan tersebut, seperti yang beberapa kali terjadi ke atas mahasiswa semasa bersukan di istad(stadium).

Jadi apakah yang sepatutnya dilakukan sekiranya gigi kacip kekal tercabut?

Gigi kacip (incisors) atau gigi hadapan (anterior teeth) sering tercedera ketika terjatuh, bersukan, dalam kemalangan jalan raya dan sebagainya. Tindakan yang cepat dan betul dapat menyelamatkan gigi tersebut dan mengelakkan rawatan yang lebih rumit.

Tindakan yang sepatutnya diambil sekiranya gigi cedera atau tercabut adalah:

Gigit kain yang bersih seperti sapu tangan atau kain kasa jika berlaku pendarahan pada gusi.
Pegang gigi yang tercabut pada bahagian korona (bahagian gigi yang kelihatan dalam mulut).
Jika gigi yang tercabut itu tidak tercemar, masukkan semula ke tempat asalnya.
Jika gigi itu tercemar, bilas gigi itu dengan air mengalir terlebih dahulu.
Apabila gigi telah dimasukkan ke tempat asalnya, letakkan sapu tangan atau kain kasa di atasnya dan gigit.
Sekiranya gigi tersebut tidak dapat dimasukkan ke tempat asalnya, rendamkan gigi tersebut ke dalam bekas bersih berisi susu segar atau air liur sendiri, ataupun masukkan ke dalam beg plastik bersih supaya gigi itu tidak kering.

Kemudian, segera ke klinik pergigian atau hospital untuk rawatan lanjut. Antara precaution yang anda perlu tahu:

Jangan pegang bahagian akar gigi yang tercabut.
Jangan berus permukaan gigi dan akarnya.
Jangan guna bahan cucian seperti sabun, bahan peluntur ataupun dettol.
Jangan balut gigi tersebut dengan kertas tisu atau sapu tangan.

Apa kesan jika gigi anda tidak diurus dengan baik sekiranya tercedera?

Kesakitan pada gusi dan oral cavity anda.
Paras rupa (esthetic) kerana gigi hadapan patah, hilang, atau bertukar warna.
Sukar nak mengunyah dan bertutur.
Jika gigi tersebut adalah gi gi susu, kemungkinan tumbesaran gigi kekal akan terjejas.

Jadi bagi anda yang bermain sukan lasak, bagaimana ingin mengurangkan risiko kecederaan gigi?

Risiko kecederaan gigi boleh dikurangkan dengan memakai alat pelindung mulut semasa mengambil bahagian dalam sukan lasak tersebut.

Alat pelindung mulut biasanya diperbuat daripada getah dan disarungkan pada gigi. Ia boleh diperolehi di kedai sukan, farmasi, atau ditempah di klinik pergigian (size sesuai). Pilihlah alat pelindung yang boleh lentur, tahan koyak, selesa dipakai, sesuai dengan mulut dan tidak mengganggu percakapan atau pernafasan.

Selamat bersukan.

Anatomy : Photo of the Practical Jars

2010-04-21T19:59:00.000-07:00

Bismillah.
These are photos of some of the jars. The important part here is to get used with the structure so you can easily determine the structure without having to take a long time as the practical exam has more than a dozen question and about 1-2 minutes allowed per question.

Between, it is favorable to borrow the medical student practical book - Mansoura Atlas Part 2. And I personally think the Simplified Practical Anatomy Part 2 also helps a lot.

The exhibition hall.

Together with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), Stars Meeting 2010 gave a slight touch of uniqueness, gathering stars and legend from the field of implantology to share the state of art of implantology along with the new technologies and techniques in this field. Among them are the most notable public figure in this field, also considered as the world leader in implant dentistry; Dr. Henry Salama, the developer of the Screw-Vent, Advent and SwissPlus implants now sold by Zimmer Dental and the founder of Core-Vent and Paragon Dental Implant Companies; Dr Gerald A. Niznick, Fellow of the International College of Dentists and a Clinical Associate, ENT Department, Orthodontics and Maxillo-Facial Orthopedics, American University of Beirut; Dr. Nadim Aboujaoude, Director of Riyadh Dental Center in Riyadh Medical Complex, Consultant of Prosthodontics & Implant at Riyadh Dental Center; Dr. Abdullah Saleh Al-Keraidis and ICOI cofounder and co-chairman; Dr. Kenneth Judy.

2. Dr. Mohamed Hassan; Diplomat of the American Board of Periodontology and Fellow of International College of Dentists (FICD).

3. Prof. Dr. Ates Parlar; member of ITI Training and Education Committee and the founder of the ITI Turkish Section and the first chairman of it until June 2007.

4. Prof. Jean Marie Megarbane; a visiting Professor in Periodontology at the University of Florida, USA (1974-1978), Professor and Chairman of the Department of Periodontology at the Lebanese University Beirut, Lebanon (1981-1993).

Granted with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, four Malaysian dentist undergraduates from Mansoura University decided to participate in the event, hoping to gain new knowledge and experiences.

Dr Henry Salama, the main center of attention

Dr. Henry Salama started off the conference by delivering a well-defined, rousing presentation. Giving the analogy “When you have a hammer in your hand, you started to see everything as a nail”, Dr. Henry Salama stated the importance of dentist having more than one treatment plan rather than only one treatment plan which doesn’t give a choice for the patient to choose from. Any dentists having only one solution in their mind are not capable of delivering a good quality treatment to their patient.

The conference which started at 24th of March ended 2 days later with all of the participants walking out satisfied and motivated despite having a long 8 hours lecture for 3 consecutive days. Congratulations to the organizing committees and speakers for the wonderful event!

At the same time, we were pleasantly surprised to meet Malaysian dentists during the conference who are currently working in the University of Sharjah, UAE as Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, Prof. AB Rani Samsudin alongside his wife, Dr. Nizam bt Abdullah, a Public Health lecturer in the same university.

A piece of advice from Prof. AB Rani Samsudin;

“Reading is a continuous process of learning and being an excellent dentist is all about reading and hardworking. Without both of it, you are just like an electrician who only knows how to make the lamp works out without knowing what makes it lights up.”

Prosthodontists, those who work with implants and dentures ranked 7th as America's 25 best-paying job 2009 by Forbes Magazine with average annual pay of $170 000.

As the exam is just around the corner, read and finish off all the books like there is no tomorrow.
Give it your best!

The Journey Ends Here to Start The New Adventure!

2010-04-02T17:07:00.000-07:00

12 Mac 2010 – Bertempat di Darul Rahmah, telah berlangsungnya program “Dental Workshop: A Day In The Future” kali kedua setelah kumpulan pertama berjaya menyelesaikan bengkel ini pada 5 Mac yang lalu. Program yang dianjurkan Unit Akademik PERUBATAN Cawangan Mansurah ini bermula seawal jam 8 pagi dan pada kali ini sambutan lebih memberangsangkan apabila hampir keseluruhan peserta yang berdaftar menghadiri bengkel ini pada hari tersebut.

Atur cara program adalah sama dengan program yang pertama, di mana para peserta dibahagikan kepada kumpulan-kumpulan kecil dan diselia oleh seorang fasilitator. Fasilitator dan peserta telah mengambil peluang keemasan ini dengan menghidupkan perbincangan yang proaktif dan ilmiah selaras dengan matlamat bengkel tersebut. Difahamkan bahawa terdapat fasilitator yang sanggup menawarkan khidmat untuk kedua-dua sesi bengkel iaitu pada 5 dan 12 Mac yang lalu.

Program ini agak berlainan dengan yang pertama kerana program ini telah disertai oleh pelajar-pelajar Universiti Al-Azhar, Kaherah. Seramai 11 orang siswa siswi Al-Azhar telah sampai dan duduk di Mansurah sejak hari Rabu lagi, menunjukkan kesungguhan mereka untuk menghadiri program ini. Dengan program sebeginilah ikatan ukhuwwah antara pelajar pergigian di Mesir dapat dieratkan lebih-lebih lagi dengan bilangan pelajar yang sedikit.

Timbalan Pengarah, Hannah bt Mohd Salleh Sahimi apabila ditanya tentang objektif program ini menjawab bahawasanya program ini dapat memperkenalkan subjek-subjek dan silibus-silibus serta memberi pendedahan dan pengalaman baru kepada mahasiswa-mahasiswi pergigian tentang kerja tangan seorang doktor gigi. Disamping menekankan kepentingannya, program ini juga adalahbertujuan memberi motivasi serta memberi semangat baru kepada mereka agar belajar bersungguh-sungguh demi menyahut seruan PERUBATAN Cawangan Mansurah, iaitu sifar Dur Thani.

Turut ditemu bual, saudara Farhad, mahasiswa pergigian Universiti Al-Azhar Kaherah yang menyatakan tergeraknya mereka untuk mengikuti program ini adalah kerana dimaklumkan oleh senior di Mansurah yang melambangkan jarak tidak memutuskan ukhuwwah. Dinyatakan bahawa program ini adalah “Eye Opener” dan beliau dapat menimba pengalaman baru dalam mengikuti kursus pergigian. Harapannya supaya program sebegini pada masa hadapan dapat dijalankan di tempat yang lebih luas untuk mengelakkan “crowded” dan ketidakselesaan.

Semoga dengan berlangsungnya program sebegini dapat mencetus lebih banyak program bersifat akademik dan ilmiah yang dapat menambah baik kualiti doktor gigi di Mesir ini. Syabas diucapkan kepada semua ajk pelaksana dan para peserta yang terlibat.

Kempen Biah Solehah

2010-03-17T20:35:00.000-07:00

Bismillah

Bersyukur kepada Allah kita masih bernafas dalam jiwa seorang muslim. Apa khabar rakan-rakan sekalian? Harapnya masing-masing berada dalam kesihatan jasmani, aqli, dan rohani yang baik. Kesibukan telah melanda kerana lazimnya begitulah apabila menempuhi fatrah exam final. Adakah anda semua berada dalam kesibukan itu atau masih lagi bersahaja tanpa sebarang gerak kerja?

Jadi dalam renggang masa yang singkat ini, penulis ingin berkongsi sedikit sebanyak mengenai kempen biah solehah yang telah dilancarkan oleh PERUBATAN Cawangan Mansurah semasa program Maulidurasul yang lepas di mana pemulis sendiri tidak sempat menghadirinya. Namun harapnya dengan artikel ini, Allah memberi sedikit taufiq untuk kita bergerak mewujudkan sebuah biah yang solehah.

Cintakan Rasulullah dan sahabat

Seperti yang kita ketahui Rasulullah merupakan rahmat kepada sekalian alam. Membawa manusia dari kegelapan kepada cahaya. Meninggikan martabat manusia dengan menabur nilai akhlak islamiyyah yang sempurna. Dan membawa manusia kepada pengenalan kepada Tuhan yang Maha Agung.

Namun, jika kita renung kembali, Rasulullah saw telah melakukan pengorbanan yang tiada tolok bandingnya demi membawa risalah Islam kepada kita. Tidak basahkah kelopak mata kita hanya dengan memikirkan bagaimana seorang insan menanggung segala penderitaan berat hanya untuk kita? Adakah kita benar-benar mengenali siapakah baginda, atau kita sekadar mengetahui nama dan sedikit kisahnya sepintas lalu? Adakah kita layak menikmati hasil pengorbanan baginda saw dengan tidak melakukan apa-apa?

Antara cabaran dan pengorbanan baginda:
- Dihina, diseksa dan cuba dibunuh berkali-kali di makkah.
- Kesusahan semasa berhijrah ke Madinah bersama Abu Bakr ra.
- Nabi kematian orang yang dikasihinya semasa menegakkan Islam.
- Diperlekehkan dan dibaling batu di thoif.
- Kesungguhan baginda bersama mempertahankan Islam dalam banyak peperangan.

Dan terlalu banyak jika hendak disenaraikan. Namun adakah nabi putus asa dalam kerjanya? Mengapa tidak nabi minta malaikat memusnahkan kaum yang memeranginya sedangkan doa baginda dikabulkan.

Sungguh, betapa nabi menyayangi kita, sedangkan kita yang tidak menyayangi nabi saw. Ungkapan baginda sebelum pergi bertemu Kekasihnya, “Ummati, ummati” meliputi seluruh manusia dari zaman kerasulannya sehinggalah bayi yang terakhir lahir sebelum kiamat. Namun adakah kita merasai kita termasuk ummat yang disebut tadi? Sudahlah kita tidak layak, malah berlaku sombing pula dengan meninggalkan suruhan dan melakukan larangan nabi saw.
Oleh itu, marilah bersama-sama menghidupkan cinta terhadap Rasulullah saw dengan mengambil ajaran Islam secara sempurna. Bukan sekadar lafaz, tetapi merangkumi hati dan amalan.

Pada suatu hari Rasulullah saw menangis, maka para sahabat baginda bertanya, "Apa yang membuat engkau menangis wahai Rasulullah?" Maka jawab baginda, "Aku sangat rindu kepada ikhwanku." Maka sahabat pun berkata, "Bukankah kami ini ikhwanmu wahai Rasulullah?" Jawab baginda, "Tidak, kalian ialah sahabatku. Manakala ikhwanku ialah segolongan manusia yang hidup selepasku, mereka mengimaniku padahal mereka tidak pernah melihat aku." - HR Muslim

Tanam Mahmudah- Salam, Senyum dan Sangka Baik (3S)

Salam

Dari Abi Hurairah ra berkata: Bersabda Rasulullah saw : “Tidak masuk syurga sehingga kamu beriman, dan tidak beriman sehingga kamu berkasih-sayang. Adakah kamu hendak jika aku tunjukkan sesuatu yang jika kamu lakukan akan menyebabkan kasih-sayang? Sebarkanlah salam antara kamu semua.” HR Muslim

Senyum

“Tersenyum ketika bertemu dengan saudara kalian adalah termasuk ibadah.”
HR At-Tirmidzi, Ibnu Hibban, dan Al-Baihaqi

1. Dari Sisi Kesihatan
• Sama dengan olahraga
• Mengurangi infeksi pada paru-paru
• Mengurangi sakit jantung
• Meningkatkan semangat dan kesihatan
• Mengurangi dua hormon dalam tubuh iaitu eniferin dan kortisol
• Mempercepat proses penyembuhan penyakit
• Mengurangi rasa pedih atau sakit
• Ubat awet muda

2. Dari Sisi Psikologi
• Mengurangi stress
• Meningkatkan kekebalan secara psikologi
• Menjadi lebih rileks
• Memberi kesan berseri dan optimis (positive thinking)

3. Dari Sisi Agama
• Merupakan sedekah
• Obat rohani
• Tanda kemurahan hati

4. Dari Sisi Penampilan
• Menambah daya tarik
• Memperbaiki penampilan
• Menunjukkan kebahagiaan
• Lebih disegani

Sangka baik

Keburukan berburuk sangka:
- Tiadanya ukhuwwah islamiyah yang menyebabkan persahabatan yang tidak kukuh.
- Akan menabur tuduh-menuduh yang diikuti kezaliman yang lain
- Saling cuba menjatuhkan kejayaan orang lain.
- Pencetus kepada sifat-sifat mazmumah
- Menyebabkan amalan tidak diterima kerana niat yang ingin dilihat lebih hebat dari orang lain.
- Perasaan yang tidak akan tenteram.
- Tiada kepercayaan sesama muslim dalam apa-apa urusan.
- Perpecahan akibat saling meragui dan berburuk sangka.
- Balasan di dunia dan di akhirat.
- Dimurkai Allah. Maka apakah keburukan yang lebih buruk dari ini.

Solat Tiang Agama

Dari Abu Hurairah ra berkata : Aku mendengar Rasulullah saw bersabda : “Bagaimana pandangan kamu, sekiranya ada sungai di pintu rumah seorang dari kamu. Dia mandi di sungai itu setiap hari sebanyak lima kali, adakah padanya baki daki yang tertinggal?” Maka sahabat menjawab : “Tiada sedikit pun daki yang tertinggal.” Rasulullah bersabda : “Demikianlah perumpamaan solat lima waktu, dihapuskan Allah pada solat itu segala dosa-dosa.” HR Bukhari dan Muslim.

Dari Ibnu Umar ra bahawasanya Rasulullah saw bersabda : “Solat Berjemaah lebih baik dari solat berseorangan sebanyak 27 kali ganda.” HR Bukhari dan Muslim

Aurat dan Ikhtilat

Aurat

Di antara yang harus ditundukkannya pandangan, ialah kepada aurat. Kerana Rasulullah s.a.w. telah melarangnya sekalipun antara lelaki dengan lelaki atau antara perempuan dengan perempuan baik dengan syahwat ataupun tidak.

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w.:
"Seseorang laki-laki tidak boleh melihat aurat laki-laki lain, dan begitu juga perempuan tidak boleh melihat aurat perempuan lain, dan tidak boleh seorang laki-laki bercampur dengan laki-laki lain dalam satu pakaian, dan begitu juga perempuan dengan perempuan lain bercampur dalam satu pakaian.” (Riwayat Muslim, Ahmad, Abu Daud dan Tarmizi)

Ikhtilat

Di antara jalan-jalan yang diharamkan Islam ialah: Bersendirian dengan seorang perempuan lain. Yang dimaksud perempuan lain, iaitu: bukan isteri, bukan salah satu kerabat yang haram dikawin untuk selama-lamanya. Ini bukan bererti menghilangkan kepercayaan kedua belah pihak atau salah satunya, tetapi demi menjaga kedua insan tersebut dari perasaan-perasaan yang tidak baik yang biasa bergelora dalam hati ketika bertemunya dua jenis itu, tanpa ada orang ketiganya.

"Barangsiapa beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat, maka jangan sekali-kali dia bersendirian dengan seorang perempuan yang tidak bersama mahramnya, kerana yang ketiganya ialah syaitan." (Riwayat Ahmad)

Budaya Ilmu

Ilmu merupakan makanan akal yang sangat diperlukan untuk menajamkan akal fikiran. Dengan keluasan ilmulah yang akan merendahkan hati manusia tentang betapa ceteknya ilmu manusia dan betapa agungnya Tuhan yang Maha Esa.

Daripada Anas ra berkata: Bersabda Rasulullah saw : “Siapa yang keluar untuk menuntut ilmu, maka sesungguhnya dia berada di jalan Allah sehinggalah dia pulang.” HR Tirmizi

Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Barang siapa menempuh satu jalan, yang di jalan itu ia tempuh dalam rangka menuntut ilmu, maka Allah akan memudahkan baginya jalan menuju syurga” HR Muslim

Perpaduan

Akibat perpecahan yang jelas dapat dilihat adalah kegagalan dan hilangnya kekuatan seperti yang dapat dilihat dalam surah Al-Anfal: 46. Kegagalan dari segi perancangan dan segala usaha kita adalah akibat dari perpecahan yang berlaku. Manakala hilangnya kekuatan adalah disebabkan perpecahan yang bermaksud tiadanya ukhuwwah Islamiyyah. Maka tanpa ukhuwwah ini, tiada kekuatan yang dapat dijana malah mampu meleburkan segala usaha dalam membangun dan menegakkan Islam.

“Dan hendaklah kamu berpegang dengan tali Allah dan janganlah kamu berpecah, dan ingatlah nikmat Allah ketika mana kamu bermusuhan (diantara aus dan khazraj) maka Allah mendamaikan hati-hati kamu dan kamu menjadi bersaudara dengan sebab nikmat yang Allah beri. Dan juga kamu berada ditepi jurang neraka maka Allah menyelamatkan kamu. Seperti demikianlah Allah menerangkan ayat-ayatnya pada kamu mudah-mudahan kamu mendapat hidayah. Dan hendaklah kamu menjadi sekumpulan manusia yang menyeru kepada kebaikan, dan mencegah kemungkaran. Dan janganlah engkau menjadi seperti orang-orang yang berpecah-belah dan berselisih pendapat selepas datangnya keteranganketerangan pada mereka, dan mereka mendapat azab yang amat besar.” (Ali Imran: 103-105)

Semoga dengan ini, bertambah lagi semangat kita untuk menghidupkan biah solehah di sekeliling kita. Ingatlah, ini bukannya suatu yang direka cipta oleh manusia, ianya datang dari Allah swt dan Rasulullah saw. Jadi siapa lagi yang lebih mengetahui baik atau buruknya sesuatu melainkan Allah dan Rasul-Nya? Dengan biah solehah inilah yang akan menyebabkan rahmat Allah swt. Maka dengan rahmat Allah inilah yang akan memudahkan pembelajaran kita di sini.

Wallahua'lam.

"I was in the future" - bengkel dentist

2010-03-10T00:58:00.000-08:00

5 Mac 2010 – Bertempat di Darul Rahmah, telah berlangsung program “Dental Workshop: A Day in The Future” yang telah dianjurkan oleh Unit Akademik PERUBATAN Cawangan Mansurah yang telah dijayakan oleh senior dan junior mahasiswa Kuliyah Pergigian Universiti Mansurah. Bengkel yang bermula seawal jam 8.00 pagi telah mendapat sambutan daripada 96% mahasiswa yang telah berdaftar.

Program ini memfokuskan kepada pendedahan awal tentang silibus praktikal tahun 1 dan tahun 2 yang akan dipelajari oleh mahasiswa berkenaan pada tahun akan datang. Para peserta telah dibahagikan kepada kumpulan-kumpulan kecil yang dikendalikan oleh seorang fasilitator bagi setiap kumpulan. Fasilitator dan peserta telah mengambil bahagian secara proaktif dalam mengajukan pelbagai soalan dan menjana perbincangan ilmiah yang memberi faedah kepada kedua-dua belah pihak.

Pengarah program, saudara Mohamad Asyraf bin Iskak apabila ditanya tentang bagaimana idea bengkel ini tercetus menjawab: “Ketika saya sedang membuat kerja praktikal di rumah, sahabat saya datang melihat dan meminta saya mengajarkannya serba sedikit supaya dia dapat bersedia untuk pengajiannya pada tahun hadapan. Dari situlah idea bengkel ini berkembang.” Beliau juga tidak menjangkakan sambutan dari mahasiswa, tetapi sambutan yang diberikan amat menggalakkan.

Saudara Asyraf Iskak "peace"

Seorang peserta tahun pra-pergigian, Nurdiyana Hasbullah apabila ditanya tentang pendapatnya tentang bengkel ini menjawab, “Program ini sangat berfaedah kerana mendedahkan subjek tahun 1 kepada kami yang membuat kami menjadi ‘excited’ nak masuk tahun 1, seterusnya membuat kami lebih bersemangat untuk belajar sekarang.” Beliau turut berharap agar tahun hadapan, banyak lagi isi yang dapat dikongsikan.

Faizatul Hawa Mohd Zuki, peserta pra-pergigian turut berpendapat sedemikan sambil menambah bahawa program ini dapat merapatkan ukhuwah antara senior dan junior selain memudahkan junior untuk bertanya soalan yang susah ditanya semasa di kuliyah yang menggunakan medium bahasa arab. Beliau berharap, tahun depan diwajibkan kepada semua supaya lebih meriah.

Bengkel ini berakhir pada jam 5.00 petang di mana semua peserta kelihatan letih tetapi penuh dengan semangat dan azam baru dalam diri masing-masing. Diharapkan bengkel sesi kedua untuk peserta lain pada 12 Mac ini setanding dan lebih hebat dari sesi pertama ini. Sekalung penghargaan kepada semua ajk pelaksana dan penggerak bengkel samada secara langsung dan tidak langsung. Kita memudahkan dan menolong sahabat lain, Allah pasti akan memudahkan dan menolong kita.

Diabetes - Dental Hygeinist can detect it from oral health?

2010-02-20T04:50:00.000-08:00

Bismillah.

Diabetes is one of the most leading cause of death of human being. Millions of people in a nation have diabetes and triple of that quantity who have pre-diabetes.

Citing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and some other Dental Association reports that diabetes contributed to more than 210,000 deaths in the United States in 2000. Currently recognized by the CDC as the sixth leading cause of death among Americans, as many as 18 million Americans have diabetes and 41 million have pre-diabetes.

However, help in detecting diabetes may come from an unlikely source—a registered dental hygienist. Research studies have found a link between periodontal (gum) disease and diabetes. Symptoms of the disease often appear in the mouth, while almost one-third of people with diabetes have severe periodontal disease. This is believed to be a result of the diabetic patient’s greater susceptibility to developing infections. Conversely, severe periodontal disease may increase the risk of developing diabetes, and may make it more difficult to manage blood sugar levels. However, studies have found that patients who receive treatment for periodontal disease may be able to control the condition with less insulin.

According to the American Dental Hygienist’ Association (ADHA), dental hygienists often detect symptoms of diabetes during routine oral health examinations. Foamy saliva and unusually dry and irritated tissue inside the mouth are tell-tale signs of the condition. And, diabetic patients often lose more teeth compared to patients without the disease.

According to the them, diabetes that goes unchecked or untreated can result in serious and life-threatening complications, such as blindness; kidney disease; heart disease and stroke; and nerve disease that can lead to limb amputation. In addition to helping patients understand the connection between oral health care and overall health, dental hygienists educate patients about proper oral hygiene and treat periodontal disease to prevent the condition from advancing and complicating other diseases.

Warning Signs of Diabetes:

• Frequent urination
• Frequent infections
• Extreme hunger
• Blurred vision
• Unusual thirst
• Unusual weight loss
• Extreme fatigue

Make an oral health appointment if you notice
you experience any of these warning signs of
periodontal disease:

• Bleeding gums when you brush or eat
• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Gums that have pulled away from your teeth
• Pus between your teeth and gums when the gums are touched
• Change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite
• Persistent bad breath or unusual taste in your mouth.

With research indicating that periodontal disease
and diabetes complicate each other, the
dental association recommend the following:

• Monitor your blood glucose level
• Have your teeth cleaned and checked at least every six months
• Brush at least twice each day to remove plaque, using a soft nylon brush with rounded ends on the bristles
• Tilt the bristles at about a 45-degree angle against the gum line and brush gently in a circular motion
• Brush front and back and also brush the chewing surfaces
• Brush the upper surface of your tongue
• Use dental floss at least once a day to remove plaque and bacteria from between your teeth. Special floss holders and various types of floss are available to make flossing easier.

Introduction

The dental service is one of the critical health services in Malaysia. Dental officers play an important role in providing treatment to patients, and planning and implementing government policies relating to oral health activities in this country. The roles and duties of dental officers have become increasingly important in this era of national and global development.
