Smile with beauty
The overall goal of dentistry is to have a healthy and functional dentition for a lifetime.
Throughout our lifetime, we have two sets of teeth the primary dentition (Total of 20) and the
permanent dentition (Total of 32)
On the basis of form and function the teeth of the human dentition are divided in to four types.
Incisors
Canines
Premolars
Molars






Located at the front of the mouth designed to cut food.
Located at the corner of the arch designed for cutting and tearing of foods.
designed for grasping and tearing
used for chewing and grinding solid masses of food.

Components of Preventive dentistry
1. Patient education
The role of the dental professional in patient education is to motivate patients to value their oral health.
2. Fluoride
Most dentists consider fluoride to be the most reliable therapy for the prevention of dental caries.
3. Sealants
Sealants are most frequently applied to the difficult to clean occlusal surfaces of the teeth, Decay causing bacteria are
prevented from reaching occlusal pits and fissures.
4. Plaque Control
Dental Plaque is the primary cause of dental caries and periodontal disease.
Patients cannot remove all of the plaque everyday but they can keep it under control by brushing, Flossing, using inter dental
cleaning aids.
We should select more effective tooth brush,
 It should be round ended head
 Bristle softer bristles (soft and medium)
 Greater flexibility ‐reach further interproximaly and subgingivally
 Commonly nylon relatively flexible, Doesn't get saturated with water Arranged in tufts.

Tooth Brushing technique
1. Place the head of a soft brush parallel with the occlusal plane with the brush head covering three to four teeth ,
beginning at the most distal tooth in the arch.
2. Place the bristle at the gingival margin pointing at a 450 angle to the long axis of the teeth.
3. Exert gentile vibratory pressure, using short back and forth motions without dislodging the tips of the bristles , this force of
bristles ends into the salci , as well as in to interproximal embrassares and should produce precipitate blanching of the gingiva.
4. Complete several strokes (20) in the same position.The repetitive motion cleans the tooth surfaces , concentrating on the apical
1/3 of clinical crowns.
T he gingival sulci and as far as on the proximal surfaces as the bristles can reach.
5. Lift the brush, move in to the adjacent teeth and repeat the process for the next three or four teeth.
6. Continue around the arch brushing about three teeth at time. Then use the same method to brush the lingual surface.
7. If the brush is too large to reach the lingual surfaces of the anterior teeth, It should be turned vertically to press the end of the
brush into the gingival sulcus area.
8. After the completing the maxillary arch, move the brush to the mandibular arch, and brush in the same organized way to reach the
all teeth.
9. Brush the occlusal surfaces of three or four at time by pressing the bristle firmly into the pits and fissures and brushing with several
short, back and forth strokes.
10. Brush the tongue.

Flossing inter Dental cleaning aids
How often should our toothbrush be changed
With use, tooth brushes show signs of wear and flattening of bristles, When tooth brush bristles become wear and
flattening it is the time to replace it with a new one When bristles are curved at the end tooth brush should discard.
Recommended to replace tooth brushes approximately every three months.

Ployacrylamide

gel electrophoresis is an
analytical technique used to separate proteins on
their molecular weight basis or net charge. In this
particular method protein molecules move
through a semi-solid matrix of acry-amide and
bis-acrylamide within electric field. Molecular
mobility is inversely proportional to the friction
caused by matrix.

A - Electrophoresis Gel

B - Separation of molecules

There are two major types of polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis
1. SDS PAGE - Used to separate molecules
based on their molecular weight.
2. Native PAGE - Used to separate molecules
based on their net charge.

There are two main types pf gels
1. Continuous gel
2. Discontinues gel

The continuous gel contains a gel slab with equal
composition. Proteins move though the gel and
get separated. The discontinuous gel contains
two parts known as stacking gel and resolution
gel. The stacking gel is less cross linked (4-5%)
and protein molecules move with a less
resistance. Purpose of this stacking layer is to
maximize protein resolution by concentrating
samples in a ultra thin layer (1-100 mm) before
entering to the resolution layer. Cross linking of
resolution layer change from 6% to 15%. This
layer resolves protein molecules, When moving
through thee matrix.
Apparatus using for gel electrophoresis
1. Power supply unit
2. Gel casting stand
3. Glass plates with spaces
4. Gel comb

In SDS PAGE protein samples are mixed with
SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate) to denature the
protein without breaking its peptide bonds. SDS
binds to and increase the proteins charge/ mass
ratio giving the proteins a net negative charge.
In Native PAGE structure of the protein molecule
is not denatured.

Reagents needed for Native
and SDS - PAGE
01. Sample Buffer (Gel loading buffer) (Native of
SDS)
02. Acrlyamide solutions
03. Tris-Cl solutions
04. 10% APS (Ammonium Per Sulphate)
05. TEMED
06. Distilled/ Deionized water
07. Running buffer (Native of SDS PAGE)
08. Staining solution (CBT-250) (Comassie
Brilliant Blue - 250)
09. Destaining solution
10. Moleculer weight markers.
The gel is casted according to the requirements

Finally the gel tank is filled with running buffer
(Native or SDS - PAGE) and correct current and
voltage is provided through the electrophoresis
power supply unit.

The sample start moving downwards and the
movement can be observed by the dye front.
When the dye front reaches the end of the glass
plates power is disconnected and the gel is
removed from glass plates to stain.
Usually 45 minutes shaking in CBR - 250
solution and destaining overnight is sufficient to
visualize protein bands.
Alternately microwave staining and destaining
can be done and protein bands can be visualize
within 15 minutes.

Protein samples are mixed with sample buffer in
2 : 1 ratio. In SDS-PAGE, the samples are
denatured by immersing sample tubes in a water
bath at 95 C for 3 minutes. Samples are then
loaded to the wells in the gel.

Message from the Vice President
It is with great pleasure that I pen these thoughts to the SLUTOU News Bulletin 2014. As the
former General Secretary and committee member of Standing committees I have
rendered my efforts and services to the SLUTOU during the past years in various ways
for the upgrading of the union activities.
The journey from the inception of our union, was not a flowery path. Many obstacles
and difficulties constantly barred us from achieving what we have achieved today.
However all these achievements were possible due to the untiring efforts of our
pioneer members. Our members contribute their valuable technical skills and talents to the university
teaching, education, research, health sector and also to the public. There is no doubt that the service of the
technical officer plays a vital role in the university laboratory system. Hence the technical officers are
recognized in their fields both locally and internationally.
Further the university technical officers contribute to enhance the quality of university education through
their services. I am assured that the SLUTOU News Bulletin provides a pathway to all our members to reach
the whole world through their skilled performances.
I wish to extend my sincere thanks to Professor Rohan W.Jayasekara, Dean Faculty of Medicine Colombo,
Mr.P.M.S.Bandara Deputy Registrar Faculty of Medicine Colombo, Professor Rohini Senevirathne (Former Head/
Department of Community Medicine, Colombo), Professor Wasantha Gunathunga (Head/Departmeno of
Community Medicine, Colombo)Professor Nalika Gunawardena (Professor in Community Medicine)Mrs. K .N
.Lankathilake (Senior Lecturer in Community Medicine) and Ms. Nilanthie de Silva for their cooperation and
assistance. Finally I take this opportunity to express my gratitude and appreciation to all committee members
of the Sri Lanka University Technical Officers' Union.
I wish you all success in your future endeavors.

An energy–efficient home will keep your family comfortable while saving you money. Whether you take simple steps or
make larger investments to make your home more efficient, you'll see lower energy bills. Over time, those savings will
typically pay for the cost of improvements and put money back in your pocket. Your home may also be more attractive to
buyers when you sell.
Unfortunately, a lot of energy is wasted through leaky windows or ducts, old appliances, or inefficient heating and
cooling system. When we waste energy in our homes, we are throwing away money that could be used for other things.
The key to these savings is to take a whole-house approach –by viewing your home as an energy system with
interdependent parts. For example, your heating system is not just a furnace it's a heat- delivery system that starts at the
furnace and delivers heat throughout your home using a network of ducts. Even a top of the line, energy efficient furnace
will waste a lot of fuel if the ducts, walls, attic, windows, and doors are leaky or poorly insulated. Taking a whole house
approach to saving energy ensures that rupees you invest to save energy are spent wisely.
Tips to save energy today.

st and no‐cost
Tips to save energy today Easy low‐co
Ways to save energy.


Install a programmable thermostat to lower utility bills and manage your heating and cooling systems efficiently.



An air dry dish instead of using your dishwasher's drying cycle.



Turn things off when you are not in the room such as lights, TVs, entertainment systems, and your computer and
monitor.



Plug home electronics, such as TVs and DVD players, into power strips; turn the power strips off when the
equipment is not in use TVs and DVDs in standby mode still use several watts of power.



Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120˚F.



Take short showers instead of baths and use low flow showerheads for additional energy savings.



Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes.



Air dry clothes.



Check to see that windows and doors are closed when heating and cooling your home.



Drive sensibly; aggressive driving such as speeding, and rapid acceleration and braking, wastes fuel.



Looking for the ENERGY START label on light bulbs, home appliances, electronics, and other products. ENERGY
STAR products meet strict efficiency guidelines set by the Sri Lanka Environmental Protection Agency or Ministry

MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL SECRETARY / SLUTOU
I have the great pleasure in sending this message to the News Bulletin of the Sri Lanka Universities'
Technical Officers' Union (SLUTOU) being the General Secretary of the SLUTOU for the year 2013/2014.
It has been necessary to reconsider and think about the function and the duties of the University Grants
Commission (UGC) since there are some officials who do not want to settle the problems and issues related to us.
Such officials create new problems instead of settling the remaining grievances. Therefore, we should work in an
understandable way for minimizing issues.
During this year, we were able to have a two fruitful discussion with the Chairperson of the UGC, and
she has agreed and promised to solve many issues related to the SLUTOU. I take this opportunity to extend my
sincere thanks for Prof. (Mrs.). Kshanika Hirimburegama, Chairperson/UGC and Mr. Samantha
Wickramarachchi, Personal Secretary of Chairperson for the provision of a discussion. Therefore, it would be the
responsibility of the new Committee of Management to negotiate with the UGC for early implementation of such
promises for the betterment of the members of the SLUTOU.
This year too we were able to organize a valuable workshop for our members enabling the update of their new knowledge and
skills. The services of Mrs. Amara Wijeratne, Vice President/SLUTOU and Mr. K.S. Wijenayake were exemplary for the organization of the
aforementioned workshop.
My sincere thanks are extended to the President, Vice President, Treasurer, Editor and all members of the Committee of
Management who helped me during my tenure as the General Secretary for the year 2013/2014. I would like to extend my special thanks to
Mr. W.V. Lakshman Kumara, Assistant Registrar of the University of Peradeniya for his valuable clarifications on various issues and regular
guidance for handling and settling the issues of the members in a balanced way. Further, I would like to extend my sincere thanks for Mr.
Pathmasiri Thanthirige, one of the former General Secretaries and Mr. Sampath Navaratne, former Editor, Mr.Mohan Dilrukshana, former
treasurer and all staff members of the Technical Resource Center and the Department of Pathology of the Faculty of Medicine, University of
Peradeniya for their regular support. Mr.S. Sedara Senarath, President and all staff members of the Nilwala National College of Education,
Akuressa are greatly appreciated for their kind cooperation in providing their services.
The present situation has been remarkably been changed than the past. As a result of that we too have to change and our way of
fighting and demanding should also be changed with strategies in order to win. Otherwise, we will not be able to win forever. We should think
about this seriously and consider the nomination of office bearers for the next committee of management. In other words, it is very important
to have office bearers who can deal intellectually. I wish all members the courage for best selection of nominations for the better future of the
SLUTOU.
KPG Karunaratne, General Secretary / SLUTOU

Vietnamese time bomb
At the end of the Vietnam War, American soldiers returned to the
USA thinking that they were safe. But some of the soldiers were
carrying in their bodies a bacterium that would suddenly emerge,
years or even decades later, causing disease and even death. As
the illness developed long after the initial exposure, with no
advance warning, it was nicknamed the “Vietnamese time bomb”.
What is this mystery disease and is it found in Sri Lanka?
Burkholderia pseudomallei is a saprophytic bacterium found in
soil in tropical countries. It infects humans accidentally, during
contact with soil or water, via inoculation through the skin or by
inhalation and ingestion. Occupational exposure to mud and
surface water is a risk factor. The infection caused by B.
pseudomallei is called melioidosis. Melioidosis, also known as the
"Vietnamese time bomb", received wide attention largely after the
Vietnam War. As helicopters deposited troops throughout the
tropical nation, their blades kicked up dirt, exposing soldiers and
pilots to hidden pathogens in the soil. In modern times it is found
mainly in people with occupational exposure to soil such as rice
farmers and construction workers.
Melioidosis is unusual in many ways. It can have a very long
incubation period, up to even 50 years after exposure. Also,
melioidosis tends to cause a wide range of symptoms that
resemble many other diseases, leading some scientists to give it
a second nickname "the Great Mimicker”.
Melioidosis commonly infects the lungs causing pneumonia. The
next common presentation is abscess (cavity of pus) formation.
More severe disease, even sepsis causing death, is seen among
patient with diabetes, chronic kidney disease or liver disease. The
antibiotic of choice is ceftazidime or meropenem. The mortality of
melioidosis can be 20 to 50% even with treatment.
Melioidosis is endemic in the tropical and sub tropical regions of
South East Asia and Northern Australia. The first cases of
melioidosis were documented in Burma by Alfred Whitmore and C
S Krishnaswami in 1912. The first case in Sri Lanka was reported
in a European tea broker in 1927 but since there were very few
cases reported until 2006 Sri Lanka was considered as non
endemic for melioidosis. Since 2006, however, more than 50
cases have been reported from all parts of the country and it is
now recognized as an emerging infection in Sri Lanka.

How to Identify this bacterium
B. pseudomallei is not fastidious and will grow on a large variety of
culture media (blood agar, MacConkey agar, CLED medium etc.). It
can be isolated in pure growth from sterile sites and in mixed
growth from sputum. Ashdown's medium is a selective medium.
The organism grows more slowly than other common bacteria.
On blood agar, colonies are pin point with no
haemolysis at 24 hours. After 48 hours β haemolytic chalky
coloured colonies with silvery metallic appearance in the well can
be seen. After one week the colonies appear umbonate (raised
center) and gradually develop wrinkling. The isolate has a
characteristic earthy smell.
B. Pseudomallei on Blood agar after
24 hours of incubation period

On MacConkey agar colonies are pin point and have a nonlactose fermenting appearance at 24 hours. After 48 hours they
become the bright pink colour of a lactose fermenter!

B. pseudomallei on MacConkey agar

Gram stain
B. pseudomallei is a Gram-negative bacillus with a characteristic
"safety pin" appearance (bipolar staining. It is motile, gives a
positive oxidase test and does not form spores .On sensitivity
testing, the organism appears highly resistant. It is innately
resistant to a large number of antibiotics including colistin,
polymyxin and gentamicin but, unlike other pseudomonads, it is
sensitive to co-amoxyclav.

Typical Antibiotic resistant pattern of B. pseudomallei
Colistin – R, Polymixin B – R, Gentamicin – R, Vancomycin – R,
Amoxicillin/ Clavulanic acid - S
Laboratory identification of B. pseudomallei can be difficult as few
technicians are familiar with the isolate. Even if they identify it as
an oxidase positive, non-fermenting bacterium they may report it
as “Pseudomonas sp.”
Many laboratories fail to perform the oxidase test on isolates that
appear lactose fermenting on MacConkey agar. In addition, the
oxidase test may be weakly positive when performed on a single
colony. It is more reliable if performed from the well.
Pellicle formation in broth, safety pin appearance on microscopy
and wrinkling may lead to misidentification as environmental
contaminants. Colony variants such as serous and mucoid
colonies are seen and a single strain may display multiple colony
types, so inexperienced laboratory staff may mistakenly believe
the growth is not pure and it may be discarded as a mixed or
contaminated culture.
Commercial identification kits such as API NE or Rapid NF are
unable to identify this bacterium accurately calling it B.cepacia or
P comomonas.
Therefore it is important that microbiology laboratories should
obtain a known culture and familiarize all the technical staff with
the cultural and microscopic appearance of this bacterium.

Honorary Award for Outstanding Services to the SLUTOU - 2014

Sunil Ananda Gurugamage
Sunil Ananda Gurugamage, known to many of us simply as “Gura”. His Alma mater is prestigious
Mahinda College. After schooling he attended Twikenham Polytechnical Institute of London,
UK. Then he joined Almulla Construction Company limited in Dubai to construct a multi storey
building, and to put up air port run a way and the terminal of Sharjah in UAE. He gained
professional experiences during this period. Finally he came back to Sri Lanka and joined a huge construction
company named Ballast Nedam, at the capacity of an electrical engineer.
th
On 17 September 1984, he was appointed as the Superintendent of Works in the University of Ruhuna and
by 1996 he was promoted to the post of special grade that was categorized under the university executive grades (A04).
By 1990, he was serving to the Ceylon University Clerical And Technical Assistants' Association
(CUCTAA) by now the “Sri Lanka Universities Technical Officers' Union” (SLUTOU) as a committee
member. In 1991, when I was appointed as the University Secretary of Ruhuna for SLUTOU, I unilaterally decided
to get enrolled him as a member of SLUTOU.
In 1994, he was the chief organizer of AGT and AGM held at the Auditorium of Faculty of Medicine, Galle.
He served as the Vice President of SLUTOU in 1996 and 1997 and was very active and instrumental in the trade
union action SLUTOU launched at which UGC issued circular no 605.
Mr. Gurugamage was unanimously nominated by IUTUF as the convener & caller for a newly empowered
committee of four persons representing all non-academic unions to be conferred with the honorable Minister of
Education & Higher Education, Dr. Richard Pathirana.
As a result of the discussion, the SLUTOU committee in which Guru was as member, had with the Minister,
Deputy Minister of Higher Education (Prof. Vishwa Warnapala), Secretaries of Ministries of Higher Education,
Labour & Finance, Auditor General, Attorney General, Chairman & Secretary of UGC, issued another circular No.
712 by granting salary increase.
During last 09 years he held the responsibilities as University Secretary of Ruhuna for 2005 / 06 and 2011
/12, Agriculture Faculty Representative of Ruhuna for 2009 / 10 respectively. In 2006, Mr. Gurugamage was called
th
upon to conduct the entire program as the commentator at the ceremony held for commemorating 50 anniversary of
SLUTOU.
During his tenure he molded and guided many young professionals. He did his duty with many distinctions
for approximately twenty years.
Dear Mr. Gurugamage, the difference you make is nothing short of a legend. Finally, let me congratulate and
wish you all success!!
