Background: The morphological characteristics of the alveolar bone thickness between the maxillary sinus and root ca nal tips of the premolars and molars is important for dental implant and orthodontic treatment. The hypotheses formulated were that there would be differences in the morphological characteristics of the alveolar bone at various tooth positions in the posterior maxilla and that age and sex would not influence the findings. This study may provide useful information for dental implant and mini-implant treatment, so as to help lead to successful treatment outcomes. Aim: To evaluate the vertical relationship between the maxillary sinus and molar teeth using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: The study design was retrospective study. We selected 30 CBCT images that were taken in the Central Dental Hospital, Mongolian National University Medical Sciences (MNUMS), between 2021 and 2023. We collected all images according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. We used Full CBCT (16cm*8cm) images using the target sampling method. The all CBCT images (85kW, 7mA) were obtained with HDX, WILL (DENTRI, Seoul, Korea) using OnDemand3D (CyberMed. Seoul. Korea). The vertical relationship between the maxillary sinus and the maxillary molars was classified into 5 categories according to Kwak’s classification. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of MNUMS. Statistical analyses were done by IBM SPSS version 27 software. Results: A total of 202 maxillary premolars and molars were examined using CBCT images, and were taken in 30 patients. The patient group consisted of 12 men and 18 women with an average age of 26.87 years (range, 16–42 years). In the maxillary first premolars: Class I was 77.4%, Class II was 13.2%, Class V was 9.4%, Classes III and IV were not observed. In the maxillary second premolars: Class I was 44.8%, Class V was 37.9%, Class II was 17.2%. In the maxillary first molars: Class V was 62.3%, Class I was 24.4%, Class II was 6.7%, Class III was 4.4%, Class IV was 2.2%. In the maxillary second molars: Class V was 63.1%, Class I was 23.9%, Class II was 6.5%, Class III was 6.5%. When examining the distance from the apex of the root of the molars to the floor of the maxillary sinus, the distance between the root of the buccal side of the second molar was the smallest, 0.67±1.36mm, and the distance between the root of the first premolar was the furthest, 5.14±4.32mm (p<0.01). Conclusion Among the maxillary posterior teeth, the second molar was positioned closest to the floor of the maxillary sinus, whereas the first premolar was located at the greatest distance. Regarding the maxillary molars, Type V characterized by root protrusion into the floor of the maxillary sinus was the most frequently observed configuration. Conversely, for the premolars, Type I defined by a distinct separation from the sinus floor was the predominant anatomical relationship.

Background: Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome (PLS) is a rare genetic disorder, characterized by palmoplantar keratosis, aggressive periodontitis and premature edentulous primary and permanent dentition at a very young age. Additional symptoms and findings associated with PLS may include frequent pyogenic skin infections, abnormalities of the nails, and excessive perspiration. Case report The patient, who visited in the Central dental hospital was 3.6 years old. Pediatric dentist confirmed the diagnosis “PLS and chronic traumatic tongue ulcer” based on anamnesis and objective examination. Dental and tongue ulcer treatment was done once a week for 2 months. The recall system was carried out by 3 month intervals oral examination and 6 month intervals radiographic examinations under team of pediatric dentist, pediatrician and immunologist.

Background: The continuous annual increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) poses significant challenges not only within our nation but also globally in the control and management of tuberculosis. Aim: This study aimed to determine the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) residing in six central districts of Ulaanbaatar and to investigate associated factors. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed. Participants aged 18 years and older diagnosed with T2DM and receiving care at endocrinology clinics in six central districts of Ulaanbaatar were selected using systematic random sampling. Presumptive TB cases were identified through a structured questionnaire and chest X-ray. Sputum specimens were collected and subjected to smear microscopy and Xpert MTB/RIF assay for tuberculosis detection. Cases confirmed by laboratory diagnosis, currently undergoing tuberculosis treatment and previously treated cases as per questionnaire data were classified as tuberculosis cases, and prevalence was calculated. Results: A total of 1,644 individuals with T2DM were enrolled in the study, of whom 836 (50.9%) were female, with a mean age of 58 years (range 19–89). The overall prevalence of presumptive TB cases was 10.5% (n=172; 95% CI, 9.0–12.0). Among 112 suspected cases from whom sputum samples were obtained, 10 (8.9%; 95% CI, 4.9–15.7) were laboratory-confirmed for M.tuberculosis. Notably, 7.2% (6 cases; 95% CI, 3.4–14.9) of asymptomatic individuals with abnormal X-ray findings were diagnosed with tuberculosis. According to questionnaire responses, 9 participants (0.5%; 95% CI, 0.3–1.0) were undergoing tuberculosis treatment, and 53 (3.2%; 95% CI, 2.5–4.2) reported a previously treated TB cases. The overall prevalence of tuberculosis among individuals with diabetes was 4.4% (n=72; 95% CI, 3.5–5.5). Stratification by age and sex revealed a significantly higher prevalence among males (5.9%; n=48; 95% CI, 4.5–7.8) compared to females (2.9%; 95% CI, 1.2–4.2) (p=0.002), indicating a twofold increased risk of tuberculosis in males. Although no statistically significant differences in tuberculosis prevalence were observed across age groups (p>0.05), a declining trend in prevalence with older age was noted. Conclusion The prevalence of tuberculosis among individuals with type 2 diabetes was 4.4% (n=72; 95% CI, 3.5–5.5), with a significantly higher rate in males (p=0.002) and a decreasing trend with increasing age. Among asymptomatic individuals exhibiting radiographic abnormalities, 7.2% were confirmed to have tuberculosis via laboratory testing

Introduction: Due to cervical spondylosispatients with cervical stenosis who hadhyperextension trauma developed spinalcord stress and contusions, tetraplegia anddisability and mortality. Cervical spondylosispatients with hyperextension traumatreatment management still not clearedout throughout the world and very fewresearch has been done in our country.We have been introduced our surgical andrehabilitation comparison research study ofcervical spondylosis trauma in 2015. Our goalis to develop treatment management forthe hyperextension trauma in patients withcervical spondylosis.1. To compare surgical treatmentresults between patients who hadhyperextension injury to the cervical spinewhich were treated at the Departmentof Spinal Surgery of the National Traumaand Orthopaedic Research Center ofMongolia.2. To study biomechanical effects after thesurgeryMaterial and methods: 42 cervicalspondylosis patients with hyperextensioninjury have been chosen retrospectively toevaluate the surgical, conservative, andrehabilitative treatments and results wereanalyzed by SPSS, EXCEL program who weretreated at the Department of Spinal Surgeryof the National Trauma and OrthopaedicResearch Center of Mongolia from 2012-September 2016. Over 20% canal stenosiscases were chosen for laminectomy andanterior discectomy and fusion surgeriesalong with conservative and rehabilitationtreatment. Up to 20% canal stenosis 10cases which is 23.8% of all patients weretreated by conservative treatment.Results: From 42 patients there was 10females and 32 males. Average ages were56±7.9. By the cause of injury 62% werecar accident, 23% motorcycle accident, 10%fall from horse riding and 5% were otherfalls respectively. All patients had neurologicdeficits according to the level of spinal cordinjury. 36 (85.7%) patients had C4-C5 andC5-C6 level injury and 15 (35.7) patients wererecovered from spinal shock after high dosesteroid treatment. According to the X-RAYall patients had cervical spondylosis signand 4 (9.5%) of them had facet fractureswith stable spine condition. After CT scanspinal cord injury located at C3-C4, C4-C5and C5-C6 levels and patients developedfacet arthrosis, ossification of ligaments andintervertebral discs. Clinical signs and CT scans were evaluated and 4 cervical spondylosispatients with hyperextension injury hadlaminectomy and 2 patient had anteriordiscectomy and fusion surgeries. Canalstenosis is decompressed after laminectomysurgery and cervical lordosis is reduced by 7degrees but after anterior discectomy andfusion surgery cervical lordosis is reducedby 3 degrees. Neurological deficit increasinglaminectomy cases had C5 palsy becauseof cord shift (2.4-4mm) which resulted bydenticulate ligament tethering.Conclusion: There were no significantstatistical (P≤.05) differences betweensurgical and rehabilitation treatmentsin cervical spondylosis patients withhyperextension injury who’s canal stenosiswere below 20% [1,2,3,4,5].In our practice itis essential to make laminectomy and anteriordiscectomy and fusion surgeries in 72 hoursafter trauma to help the patient recoverfrom the spinal shock and reabsorption ofcord contusion. For one or two level canalstenosis especially with the OPLL, artificialdisc replacement and ADF surgeries showedbetter results. In multiple level canal stenosiswith OLF and OPLL cases laminectomyand laminoplasty are choice for surgery. Incomparison to foreign study/ Biomechanicalinvestigation of spinal cord injury and diseasein cervical spine Batbayar.K Seoul.2016[2]/ our surgical treatment showed similarresults. Among cervical spondylosis patientswith hyperextension trauma cases whotreated in Spine Department of NationalTrauma and Orthopaedic Hospital, mortalityand disability is increasing and it is essentialto follow correct diagnostic and treatmentalgorithms.

Background: Since life style of the nation has changed, the prevalence of T2DM has steadily increased. According to T2DM related studies, estimated number of people with diabetes is 80.000 in Mongolia. Despite this, total number of diabetic patients registered in Mongolia is only 7000. Thus, approximately 90% of people with diabetes are undiagnosed and untreated.Objective: to assess anthropometric and laboratory parameters of newly diagnosed patients with T2DM.Materials and Methods: It was cross sectional study included 133 patients with type 2 diabetes newly diagnosed at the district hospital of Ulaanbaatar. We measured height, weight and waist circumference and analyzed body fat by bio-impedance analyzer machine. Fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, triglyceride, HDL-C, LDL-C were determined by methods of laboratory in venous plasma. We defined as subjects with metabolic syndrome used the IDF new definition of 2009.Results: 44.4% of all participants were male and 55.6% were female and mean age of all participants was 49.1±8.5. According to BMI 85.7% of patients was obese and overweight and 84.2% of patients identified central obesity by measuring waist circumference. In analyzing of body composition, 100% of all patients determined high body fat. 27.1% of men and 36.4% of women diagnosed arterial hypertension. According to HbA1c (%) level the 94% of patients determined 7.5 and above. The hypertriglyceridemia was 59.4%, hyper LDL-C was 76.7% and hypo HDL-C was 12% and increased LDL: HDL ratio was 8.1%. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the newly diagnosed patients with T2DM was 69.6%, male 66.1% and female 72.9%. Conclusion: Obese is major risk factor for T2DM in Mongolia. The study shows that assessing body fat is major identifying method of obese (p<0.03) and statistically significant association of high body fat mass with WC in diabetic patients (p<0.05). The prevalence of several risk factors of DM complications among newly diagnosed patients with T2DM is higher.
