Abstract

One of pandemic effect is that people being afraid to have their regular dental treatment and tends to have their own medication. Dentist and dental nurses as workerin public health provider also afraid on doing dental treatment on a reason highly contamination and transmission of the virus. Delaying aerosol generating procedures is found as the only choice, except for emergency case. However, the uncertainty of pandemic era and dental treatment needs, urge the health workers to have innovation in dental treatment service.  Using mobile dental clinic Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Langkat di Puskesmas Sambirejo is a solution. The implementation of service activities in mobile dental clinic are mainly in self Protection equipment, SOP in  Standart Precaution, sterlisation and aseption and also patients admision flow in pandemic era for health care providers as a way to improve their knowledge in handling patient in pandemic era. The delay of action in dental procedur can be solved by facilitating mobile dental clinic according to standard health protocol. Instead of only reaching rural area, this mobile dental clinic can also be used in narrow building with limited space. The SOP protocol can also be used by dentis and dental nurses to control infection in mobile dental clinic. This article tries to support government in raising the degree of mouth and dental health services in pandemic era.

Abstract

Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is performed to treat teeth affected by deep caries, trauma, or restoration-induced perforations. Synthetic bioactive materials (non-biologic materials), including Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, and Bioaggreates cement are commonly used in this procedure. The limitations of MTA were long setting times, difficult manipulation processes, and discoloration. Biodentine is characterized by low radiopacity, difficulty in obtaining optimal consistency, and high costs, while bioaggregate cement has an extended setting time, which can impact the success of the therapy. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the use of fishbone, an abundant biological waste and a natural biomaterial as a treatment alternative. Fishbone contains biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP), a key component in bioactive material synthesis for dentistry. The results showed that BCP had excellent properties such as calcium ions release to stimulate odontoblastic activity, osteointegrative, osteoinductive, and excellent bioactive. Additionally, the production of this material is cost-effective, safe, and less complicated. Considering these advantages, fish bone with BCP can be an excellent alternative for VPT.   Keywords: Vital Pulp Therapy, Marine Fish Bone, Biphasic Calcium Phosphate
