Publication Assessment Of Miswak Practice Among Tabligh Followers(Zes Rokman Resources, 2016) ;Nor Haliza Mat Baharin ;Ahmad Zharif Ibrahim ;Nurul Munirah AsaHaslinda RamliThe Islamic scholars proposed various techniques in using miswak according to the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H. In Malaysia, the use of miswak as an oral hygiene aid is popular among tabligh followers which is a group of Islamic preachers. They are known to routinely practice the sunnah of the Prophet P.B.U.H. including the use of miswak. The aim of this study is to assess the miswak practice among tabligh followers. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. Forty tabligh followers who visited Masjid Jamek Sri Petaling were selected and they were required to answer the questionnaire. The usage method of miswak was also observed. Descriptive analysis was done on the usage method of miswak. Various techniques of holding the miswak were then compared with area covered during brushing with Chi-square test. Thirty-seven participants were included in the study as 3 incomplete questionnaires were excluded. 73% of the participants used both toothbrush and miswak while the remaining 27% use miswak only. Less than half of the participants omitted on brushing the palatal sites (41.9%) and lingual sites (40.5%) of the posterior teeth. 78.4% of the participants hold the miswak with three fingers on the upper part of the miswak. For brushing technique, they angulate the miswak perpendicularly (81.1%) and then move it vertically (56.8%). However, the technique of holding the miswak was not related to the area covered during brushing (p=0.455). In conclusion, similar technique of miswak use was applied by most of the participants although there were variations in holding the miswak and brushing technique. Nonetheless the technique used in holding the miswak did not have significant impact on the area of the teeth covered while brushing. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Assessment Of Oral Health Knowledge And Challenges In Oral Hygiene Practices Among Homeless Adults In Jalan Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur(Taylor & Francis, 2022) ;Nor Haliza Mat Baharin ;Nor Azura Ahmad-Tarmidzi ;Erma Fazira MuhammadNurul Najwa MdYusufIn Malaysia, the homeless population is increasing due to structural and individual factors. Their living environment may expose them to various health problems, including poor oral health status. Currently, studies focusing on the oral health of the homeless population in Malaysia are limited. This study aims to assess oral health knowledge and the challenges in oral health practices among homeless adults in Jalan Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 69 adults living in Jalan Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. A questionnaire was distributed to the participants to evaluate their oral health knowledge, practices and challenges in oral hygiene care. Only 26.1% (n = 18) of the participants were able to answer the question on the causes of gum disease. There is no association in gender and education level on oral health knowledge of the participants. However, most of the participants brush their teeth at least once daily (92.7%, n = 64). There were still some participants (11.6%, n = 8) had to share toothbrush with significant association between gender and sharing of toothbrush. There is no association in education level on oral hygiene practice of the participants. Most of the participants (82.7%, n = 57) denied having any challenge in performing their routine oral hygiene care. Financial problem was identified to be the main barrier in seeking dental treatment (29.6%, n = 13). In conclusion, the homeless adults in Jalan Chow Kit had acceptable oral health knowledge with particularly low knowledge on gum disease. Nevertheless, good oral hygiene practices were reported. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Barrier Membrane In Regenerative Therapy: A Narrative Review(MDPI, 2022) ;Muhammad Syafiq Alauddin ;Nur Ayman Abdul Hayei ;Muhammad Annurdin SabarudinNor Haliza Mat BaharinGuided bone and tissue regeneration remains an integral treatment modality to regenerate bone surrounding teeth and dental implants. Barrier membranes have been developed and produced commercially to allow space for bone regeneration and prevent the migration of unwanted cells. Ideal membrane properties, including biocompatibility, sufficient structural integrity and suitable shelf life with easy clinical application, are important to ensure good clinical regenerative outcomes. Membranes have various types, and their clinical application depends on the origin, material, structure and properties. This narrative review aims to describe the currently available barrier membranes in terms of history, main features, types, indication and clinical application and classify them into various groups. Various membranes, including those which are resorbable and non-resorbable, synthetic, added with growth factors and composed of modern materials, such as high-grade polymer (Polyetheretherketone), are explored in this review. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Generalised Periodontitis: A Behavioural Management.(USIM Press, 2021) ;Nur Ayman Abdul HayeiNor Haliza Mat BaharinGeneralised periodontitis occurs due to long-standing gingivitis and often presented with poor plaque control. Periodontal stability is challenging when the patient has poor oral hygiene habits and fear of dental treatment. It requires systematic and effective behavioural management on top of traditional periodontal therapy in the overall management of the patient. It is crucial to manage dental anxiety as this could affect patient’s compliance. A familiarly seen generalised periodontitis may not have fully succeeded without behavioural support. This is a case of a 35-year-old woman with dental anxiety; undergoing a change in her old incorrect oral hygiene habit to improve self-plaque control - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Influence of alloying elements on cellular response and in-vitro corrosion behavior of titanium-molybdenum-chromium alloys for implant materials(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2020) ;Nor Haliza Mat Baharin ;Masfueh Razali ;Shahida Mohd-Said ;Junaidi Syarif ;Andanastuti Muchtar ;Faculty of Dentistry ;Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) ;Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)University of SharjahPurpose: Not all elements with beta-stabilizing properties in titanium alloys are suitable for biomaterial applications, because corrosion and wear processes release the alloying elements to the surrounding tissue. Chromium and molybdenum were selected as the alloying element in this work as to find balance between the strength and modulus of elasticity of beta-titanium alloys. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Titanium-10Molybdenum-10Chromium (Ti-10Mo-10Cr), Titanium-10Chromium (Ti-10Cr) and Titanium-10Molybdenum (Ti-10Mo) on the elemental leachability in tissue culture environment and their effect on the viability of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Methods: Each alloy was immersed in growth medium for 0-21 days, and the elution was analyzed to detect the released metals. The elution was further used as the treatment medium and exposed to seeded HGFs overnight. The HGFs were also cultured directly to the titanium alloy for 1, 3 and 7 days. Cell viability was then determined. Results: Six metal elements were detected in the immersion of titanium alloys. Among these elements, molybdenum released from Ti-10Mo-10Cr had the highest concentration throughout the immersion period. Significant difference in the viability of fibroblast cells treated with growth medium containing metals and with direct exposure technique was not observed. The duration of immersion did not significantly affect cell viability. Nevertheless, cell viability was significantly affected after 1 and 7 days of exposure, when the cells were grown directly onto the alloy surfaces. Conclusions: Within the limitation of this study, the newly developed beta-titanium alloys are non-cytotoxic to human gingival fibroblasts. (C) 2020 Japan Prosthodontic Society.

Publication The Influence of Hadiths and Islamic Scholars’ Opinions on Current Miswak Practice(USIM Press, 2020-05) ;Ahmad Zharif Ibrahim ;Nor Haliza Mat Baharin ;Nurul Munirah AsaHaslinda RamliMiswak has been used as a tooth cleaning tool for thousands of years throughout the world. Following the introduction of the toothbrush, the usage of miswak is reducing but still exist especially among Muslims. Muslims are still using it as it is part of sunnah and is highly recommended by the Prophet P.B.U.H. Although there are numerous hadiths on the importance of miswak use, there are limited authentic resources on the methods of its usage. The technique of using miswak nowadays might be different from the method recommended in those authentic resources. To investigate the practice of miswak among current users and the miswak practice according to hadiths and Islamic scholars. A cross-sectional descriptive study among miswak users in Sri Petaling, Selangor using purposive sampling. Questionnaires on various aspects of miswak practice as oral hygiene tools were distributed among consented participants. The results were analysed descriptively and compared with miswak practice mentioned in hadiths and scholar’s recommendation. There were 37 subjects participated in the study. Several routines and practices explained in hadiths and Islamic scholars’ recommendations were practised by the participants. The use of miswak prior to ablution and prayer was highly recommended by the Prophet P.B.U.H and was practised by all participants (100%). Half of the participants used miswak upon waking up from sleep (59%) and 76% of them clean their tongue with miswak. All participants use miswak that is not too dry or too wet as suggested by an Islamic scholar. Majority of them (83.8%) cut the miswak stick before they use it and 35% of them soaked the miswak stick before use. Most of the current miswak users are practising the miswak as oral hygiene tool following the guidelines mentioned in hadiths and recommendations by Islamic scholars although there are some parts of miswak practice mentioned in hadiths and scholars’ recommendations were found not to be practised by the subjects and vice versa
