Malaysia is no exception (Komabayashi et al., 2007). In this context, dental education refers to the academic and practical training provided to individuals pursuing careers in dentistry. It encompasses the curriculum content, teaching methods, assessments, faculty development, and infrastructure within higher educational institutions that prepare

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of sugar-free chewing gum in minimizing orthodontic pain, use of analgesic medications, appliance breakages and elastic dislodgement associated with intermaxillary elastics wear. METHODS: This was a randomized controlled trial with 1:1 allocation ratio. 28 patients were randomly allocated to sugar-free chewing gu

This book is an attempt to bring the modern Muslim mind closer to understanding and appreciating the idea and the historical as well as architectural spectacle of the Quba’ mosque. The focus of the book is tripartite, drawing attention to the mosque’s religiosity, historicity and architecturality. The timespan covered by the discussion extends

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease are among the top public health threats facing the world today. Meanwhile, alarming rate of NCDs, other health and mental problems strongly linked to sugar and tobacco consumptions in Muslim majority countries is on high record. This paper considers this NCDs prevalence in

Background Interprofessional education (IPE) is essential to foster collaboration among healthcare professionals for holistic patient care. However, Malaysian dental education remains discipline-centric, hindering multidisciplinary learning approaches. Hence, this study aimed to explore Malaysian undergraduate dental students’ perceptions of IPE.

The psychometric properties of the Malay Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQR) need to be tested as it is increasingly utilized, and there is a lack of a brief, validated scale to examine suicidal behaviors in Malaysia. A total of 713 and 715 undergraduates answered the English and Malay SBQ-R, respectively. Exploratory factor analysis de

The current work derives the analytical expression for the damping derivative of a non planar wedge when c tends to one and Mach number tends to infinity. Ghosh’s developed strip theory is utilized to derive the expression of the damping derivative. Concerning various geometrical and flow characteristics, the current theory can forecast the dampi
