Non-syndromic tooth agenesis defined as developmental absence of more than one
tooth that appears as independent congenital oral trait. Its prevalence, pattern and distribution
rates vary by populations. The aim of this study was to identify the pattern and distribution of
tooth agenesis in permanent dentition among IIUM dental polyclinic patients. (Copied from article).
Dental caries is the most common yet preventable disease. Study found that seaweed
exhibits anti-cariogenic properties. However, little attention have been given to the study on anticariogenic properties of seaweed and the bioactive compound that responsible for the anticariogenic activities have not adequately investigated. This study was conducted to evaluate the
best extraction methods for S. polycystum and to determine the fatty acid compounds of S.
polycystum that have anti-cariogenic potential against oral cariogenic bacteria. (Copied from article).
Flaxseeds offer a wide range of pharmacological properties including antioxidant,
antibacterial and anticancer. However its effect on mesenchymal stem cells has not been
elucidated. Thus, this study aimed to determine the effects of flaxseed crude extract on stem cell
from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) in terms of cell viability, morphology and
proliferation activity. (Copied from article).
