I
have been very impressed by the work of the Pakistan Dental Community and
the role it plays as a platform for the country’s dentists to meet, interact, collaborate
and share experience. As dentists, frequently working
alone or in a small group in dental practices, it is reassuring to know we share our goals with a wider community to whom we can have ready access when the
need arises.
Now, with the publication of the inaugural edition of
the PDC magazine, I can say that I am equally impressed. Not only has a great deal of attention been
given to its appearance and aesthetic, its contents are
entirely compatible with the sense of community that
is so much a part of the aims and objectives of PDC.
I note with some satisfaction that it is the Editor’s goal
to provide readers with relevant information not only from Pakistan but from the
wider world. In the international community of dentists, we can all learn from each
other and I am confident that this new magazine will significantly enrich the national intellectual landscape in the field of dentistry and oral health and the broader
field of health care.
As President of FDI, an organization that, through some 200 national member
bodies in over 130 countries, serves some 1 million dentists worldwide, I am particularly happy to see that PDC is also participating so enthusiastically through its
truly exceptional efforts to communicate the message of World Oral Health Day in
Pakistan.
I could not agree more with the words of PDC President, Dr Syed Muhammad
Faizan, who emphasized the need to initiate a voluntary self-sustaining and continuous process of education, prevention, and treatment especially for the deprived
segment of the society. It is in this spirit that we can achieve true improvements in
oral health throughout the population.
I would like to extend my warm personal regards to the officers and members
of PDC and congratulate you all on this new and worthy initiative in dental
publishing.

O
n the auspicious occasion of inaugural issue of PDC magazine, I would like
to extend my deepest appreciations to Dr. Faizan,President PDC and his energetic team for a job very well done. The establishment
of PDC two years back and now the issue of its high
quality magazine is apraise worthy effort and valuable
addition in the domain of dentistry in Pakistan. I am
sure if this tempo and direction is maintained it will
go a long way in helping all those who are associated
with the profession of dentistry in Pakistan and extend
a helping hand to those who are not so privileged to
afford their Oral health.I assure PDA’s full support in
its efforts for the betterment of dental profession in
Pakistan.
“Difficulties mastered are opportunities won”; as we
meet the challenges faced today our course should be
clear, work in a cohesive, creative and energetic manner with disciplined management of the available resources while at the same time refining the academics,
clinical dentistry and research.
Dental practitioners need to extend their role for the improvement of health and
well-being of community they serve by integrating evolving biotechnology into
dental practice; plan and provide patient care with the aim of prevention and health
promotion and above all offer their services to underserved of our society.
The talent of Pakistan is unique and remarkable and has the skills and capability
to stand out in world’s dental arena. With our sincere contribution to the advancement of profession through high level of education, research, professional engagement and community involvement, we can foster a community of global leaders in
the field of dentistry with a far-reaching impact on the profession.

T
he dental profession in Pakistan did not evolve in harmony with the medical
profession and hence lacked behind in its development in the overall medical profession of the country.As a result, the required level of
infrastructure, development and its healthy effects on
the society did not take place at par. Similarly it could
not attain its universally accepted higher status in Pakistan that it richly deserves.
Although still in its infancy, Pak Dental Community
(PDC) an organization with the mission of uplifting
the profession to international standards in Pakistan
and bringing back nobility into it, has achieved significantly in such a short period. It has provided a platform to the young professionals not only to collaborate
and learn from collective wisdom but also to instill a
sense of social responsibility among them so that they
may serve the true purpose of the white coat.
The philanthropic arm of PDC by the name of PDC Foundation, a program focused exclusively on the oral health care of the economically disadvantagedwas
formed in January 2013. With the help of generous donors and selfless & passionate volunteers, Outreach Programs have been conducted in Karachi, Hyderabad
and Lahore and are expanding its activities to more cities/towns very soon this year.
I am proud of my Team and thank all those who made this possible. What better
can you do than to start giving back as early as possible.
I firmly believe that we need to accelerate the culture of research & research training in Pakistan, that too of international standards. Thereforewe are committed
to play a leading role in the attainment of this objective. We arehappy to provide a
platform for professionals to not only undertake research but also create opportunities for them to play an active part at the international scene. Last year 6 researches
conducted by the PDC team were presented at FDI Istanbul Turkey.
We will work withvigor and focused attention to provide necessary guidance& support to ensure that the enormous potential of the youth is channelized to create a
generation of well-rounded young leaders who are not only well versed in the dental field but also committed towards welfare of those around them.

PDC Foundation
O
n 1st January 2013, the philanthropic arm of Pak
Dental Community (PDC) was announced by the name
of Pak Dental Community Foundation. It is an independent non-profit program in Pakistan exclusively focused
on supporting delivery of comprehensive oral healthcare
for economically disadvantaged people.
Its partners include dental universities, hospitals as well
as private dental clinics & health care organizations.
Dental care is cost-prohibitive for low-income individuals and often, out of necessity, receives less priority compared to more pressing financial or medical concerns.
A huge number of people in Pakistan have no access to
the simplest dental relief, leaving thousands to face a
daily battle with pain and oral diseases.
Pak Dental Community is proud to present PDC Foundation, which will be the first & only independent non-profit program in Pakistan exclusively focused on supporting
delivery of comprehensive oral healthcare for economically disadvantaged people and making a difference in
people’s lives. As Pakistan’s premier dental philanthropic
and charitable organization, the PDC Foundation will be
a catalyst for uniting people and organizations to make a
difference through better oral health.
Our strategic ties with the Pak Dental Community, coupled with our strong volunteer leadership and our generous donors, give us a powerful yet flexible infrastructure
to anticipate and quickly respond to the most pressing
needs affecting dentistry and the public’s oral health.
Within a very short span of time we have expanded our
activities to multiple cities across Pakistan.
And it doesnt stop there. A big chunk of these poor patients end up at a local quack dentist for cheap treatment,
only to be infected with HIV/Hepatitis.

ANXIETY LEVELS IN DENTAL PATIENTS
By: Dr. Faizan Syed
INTRODUCTION:
The behavioral sciences have become an increasingly
important component of dental education and research.
Fear of dentists and dentistry is a common and potentially distressing problem, both for the public and for
community dental practitioners. Anxiety can be defined
as a state of unpleasantness with an associated fear of
danger from within or a learned process of one’s own environment Anxiety related to dental treatment is a fairly
common phenomenon. It is a problem in dentistry, and
a notable factor in the avoidance of dental care.
Symptoms of dental pain or discomfort, fear of the dentist’s disapproval, negative expectations concerning the
outcome of treatment, a history of low-quality dental
treatment, complications experienced in previous dental
care, and negative dentist-patient interactions, have all
been associated with high dental anxiety. Patient anxiety
makes it harder to provide treatment, causes lost time,
and can potentially decrease the quality of dental work.
An understanding of how anxious patients are when they
undergo dental treatment would aid dentists’ efforts to
improve patient care. The intensity of dental anxiety is
different among certain groups in the population. Several studies have shown that younger people, people with
low income or low socioeconomic status, and people with
lower levels of education tend to have more severe dental anxiety than people who are elderly, more affluent, or
better educated.
OBJECTIVE:
Measurement of anxiety levels of patients coming to a
dental OPD/Teaching Hospital by using Norman Corah’s
Anxiety Scale.

Research
METHOD AND MATERIALS:
N=166
Setting: FJDC Hospital Karachi PAK
Study Design: Observational
Sampling Technique: Convenience
Total no of 166 patients within age group 5 –to- 75 yrs were
randomly selected from all pat ients visiting dental hospital
OPD for dental treatment, between Jan 2012 – Mar 2012.
Dental anxiety was estimated using Corah’s Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) which was based on a questionnaire regarding anxiety levels in patients.
A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5
Total Possible = 20
Anxiety Rating
5-8 = mild anxiety
9-12 = moderate anxiety but have specific stressors
13-14 = high anxiety
15-20 = sever anxiety (or Phobia)
Results:
A total of 166 patients completed the questionnaire regarding their anxiety level and were included as a part of
this study.
34.5% Males and 28.2% Females felt a little un easy, 20%
Males and 25.5% Females were tense and 5.5% Males and
8.2% Females were very anxious.
Population undergoing invasive procedures including
extraction, impaction removal, fillings and root canal
treatment comprised of 83 individuals (approx. 50%
population).
In educated strata 10 Males and 26 Females had Mild
anxiety levels followed by 5 Males and 10 Females with
Moderate anxiety levels, 2 Males and 5 Females with
High anxiety levels and 1 Male and 4 Females with Severe anxiety levels.
In uneducated strata 1 Male and 3 Females with Mild
Moderate anxiety levels and 1 Female with Sever anxiety
levels.
Population undergoing non-invasive procedures include
routine consultation, scaling and orthodontice treatment.
In educated strata, 18 Males and 21 Females had Mild
Moderate anxiety levels, 3 Males and 5 Females with
High anxiety levels and 2 Males and 6 Females with Severe anxiety levels.
41% of the patients belonged to age group of 5-24 years
In un educated strata, 2 Males had Mild anxiety levels followed by 2 Males and 2 Females with Moderate anxiety
levels and 2 Females with Severe anxiety levels.
According to Corah’s questionnaire:
Relating to a visit for dental check up 40 % Males and
25.5% Females were looking forward to it as an enjoyable
experience.
Question relating to waiting in a dental office, approx.
49.1% Males and 47.3% Females were relaxed.
Question regarding the noise of a drill 36.4% Males and
30.9% Females were relaxed while 36.4% Males and
27.3% Females felt a little uneasy and approx.3.6% Males
and 8.2% Females felt very anxious.
Question relating to tooth cleaning and instrument preparation 27.3% Males and 26.4% Females were relaxed,

RESULT:
The mean age of the sample was (36.9) with male:female
ratio of 1:1, In male population 26.5% of case gave a history of smoking while 18.9% of control group presented
with a history of smoking. In female population 3.8% of
cases were smokers while 0.8% in control group were
smokers. The association between smoking and tooth
loss was positive with significant results in age groups
10 – 20 years (0.006 Sig. value) and 40 – 50 years (0.001
Sig. value) respectively.
CONCLUSION:
The authors found that women who smoke were at increased risk of experiencing tooth loss than men. The relative risk of tooth loss due to smoking among Pakistani
population is higher than what has been reported among
western population. In accord with other studies[i] smokers had evidence of more severe periodontal disease than
non smokers.

E-CADHERIN AS A MARKER FOR NODAL
METASTASIS IN HEAD AND NECK
SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
By: Dr. Saima Akram Butt
Objective:
To identify E-cadherin as a marker for prediction of lymph node
metastasis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND:
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the
sixth most common malignant tumor worldwide, characterized by locoregional disease with a propensity for
metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes. The pre-operative
detection of lymph node metastasis is crucial to the effective treatment of patients with head and neck squamous
cell carcinoma. Cervical lymph node metastasis cannot
always be predicted from the size and the extent of invasion of the primary cancer and also the simple fact that
metastases need to reach a certain size before they are
detected(>3mm). Although the most recent techniques
of CT scan, MRI, ultrasonography, PET scan and ultrasound guided FNA biopsy have reached a sensitivity of
about 80% in detecting occult metastasis, the detection
of occult, microscopic metastastic deposits will continue
to evade recognition and the true lymph node status of
neck will remain uncertain. As a result of these limitations many head and neck surgeons perform radical or
selective neck resections and as many as 80% of patients
with N0 neck disease will receive unnecessary treatment,
along with its concomitant morbidity.
Cross-sectional analysis of 54 subjects with head and
neck squamous cell carcinoma, who underwent neck
dissections, was carried out. Expression of E-cadherin
was evaluated using immunohistochemical analysis and
traditional histological parameters, and the correlation
of E-Cadherin with the histologically verified presence of
regional metastases was determined. The data was subjected to descriptive statistics and chi square using Spss
v.16.0.
RESULT:
54 patients included 33 males (61.1%) and 21 females
(38.9%) aged from 18 to 73 (mean 44.8±12.7). Predominantly the male population of the study was most commonly found within the age group 39-48. Whereas the
most frequent age group among females was 49-58.
On histological examination moderately differentiated
squamous cell carcinomas occurred most frequently
(34/54). A statistically significant relationship between
the Downregulation of E-cadherin and histologically
verified presence of nodal metastasis was established. (
p value: 0.000)
22
23
Research
CONCLUSION:
Conclusion: This study shows that low E-cadherin expression is useful for predicting lymph node metastases
in cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

challenge due to lack of basic education. Pakistan has one
of the highest rates of oral cancer, while there are about 11
thousand registered dentists, which means that for 16,500
people there is just one dentist.” Dr. Faizan emphasized the
need to initiate a voluntary self-sustaining and continuous
process of education, prevention, and treatment especially
for the deprived segment of the society.
Senior Registrar, Oral Medicine, Ziauddin University, Dr.

of a woman’s life”. He discussed that women make half
of world’s population, and are more prone to oral diseases
due to hormonal changes at different stages of their life
like puberty, pregnancy, using oral contraceptives and
menopause , and experience dental problems due to lack
of education and care of the oral manifestations. Prompt
medical attention and education is required ti maintain a
healthy life style.
DrAmbrinaQureshi described the importance of World
Oral Health Day. “It is an international event about the
NEW
& EVE
benefits of a healthy mouth and promotes worldwide
awareness of issues around oral health and its importance for both old and young” she expressed.
