JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe dental hygienists play the important role for supporting healthy lives of the people through the oral care for maintenance of health by preventing and improving oral diseases. In such a patient-oriented activities, it is necessary for not only dental professionals but also all the medical and preventive healthcare professions to share the information. It is recommended in medicine to apply the Problem oriented system: POS observing every problem involved in the disease of the patient. This is a useful system with a framework of “the patient model” to lead the problems to rational and scientifical solution. In the current medicine where many different fields of professionals are responsible for the recovery and maintenance of health of the patients, it is important to unify the recording forms by this method. It is referred to as the Problem oriented medical record: POMR and has been widely adopted in the medicine. The authors devised the Problem oriented dental record: PODR following an example of POMR and previously reported as Part 1. The present paper reports the newly devised Problem oriented dental-hygiene care record: POHR as a record of dental hygiene. It is characteristically composed of the following categories consistently with PODR; namely Data Base, Problem List, Initial Plans, Progress Note, and Summary. Moreover, an item of “Knowledge and Performance for Health” was added in the three categories of Problem and the Progress Note was specified as the SOAPI(E). In the current medicine where the many different fields of professionals are responsible for recovery and maintenance of health of the patient, it is important to unify the recording methods of the patient information to enable to share among the professions. As the POHR is arranged in POS manner, the records of the oral condition of the patient as well as the diagnosis and treatment plan are easy for other professionals to understand. The adoption of POHR by the dental hygienists will lead to the efficient and effective participation of them for the treatment of the patient with diseases.View full abstractDownload PDF (783K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study was to utilize video-endoscopy to evaluate swallowing function in animal studies. Evaluation of swallowing function was performed in pyridine-induced pharyngitis model rats. Swallowing latency and number of swallowing for 10 seconds were measured for 3 days after the pyridine application. White-out of the endoscopic image was observed due to halation of light from the endoscope tip during swallowing. The phenomenon was measured as an indicator of the swallowing. In the pyridine-induced pharyngitis group, epithelial exfoliation, edema, and neutrophil infiltration were observed in the pharyngeal mucosa. Significant prolongation of swallowing latency and decrease in swallowing frequency were observed on day 1 after the application and recovered on day 2. Food and water intake decreased on day 1. The endoscopic method allows for continuous evaluation of swallowing dysfunction and recovery process in the pyridine-induced pharyngitis model rats. The technique in this study can be a new method for swallowing analysis in animal experiments.View full abstractDownload PDF (1904K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSDens invaginatus is a condition in which tooth-like structures are embedded in the pulp. The majority of cases occur in maxillary lateral incisors, and it is extremely rare to occur in upper and lower molars. This time, we accidentally experienced a case of a maxillary third molar with dens invaginatus on panoramic radiographs and CT. Since the maxillary third molar often overlaps the maxillary sinus on panoramic radiographs and is difficult to see, a CT is effective.View full abstractDownload PDF (1547K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe frequency of denticles increases over time. Therefore, the presence of denticles in children is often underestimated. However, denticles occur in children in their teens and younger. In this article, we present a case of denticles in impacted supernumerary tooth with immature root. We believe that the denticles are probably genuine rather than a degenerative lesion. The presence of denticles is often an obstacle to endodontic treatment, and it is important to be aware that denticles can also develop on immature teeth.View full abstractDownload PDF (862K)
