Abstract

Introduction: Caries risk assessment is an effort performed to determine the causes of dental caries and the caries risk of the children. The purpose of the study was to determine the caries risk of pre-school children and the possible preventive home-treatment in reducing the risk. Methods: This research was descriptive with sampling method used was the total sampling technique. Data were collected using the Irene’s Donuts caries risk form to determine the caries risk and preventive treatment of the children. Caries risk assessment data was presented in the form of frequency distribution tables. Results: The first-year research resulted as follows: distribution of caries risk frequency based on the interview conducted towards the parents in Ulul Azmi and Amanah Kindergarten, regarding their education, age, children’s habits, showed that the highest risk (88.9%) in both kindergartens was found in children who still drink milk with pacifier bottles until more than four-years-old. The second highest risk amongst Ulul Azmi Kindergarten students (88.9%) was found in children with daily candy consumption; the highest risk amongst Arroyyan Kindergarten (90%) was tooth decay which considered not interfering the children’s development with the pH level below 6.5. Regarding the treatment choice of the students, the most choices taken amongst Ulul Azmi Kindergarten parents were helping their children brush their teeth at night before bedtime; assuring the children’s sufficient water consumption in Amanah Kindergarten parents; assuring the children’s vegetable and fruits contained menu in Arroyyan Kindergarten parents. Conclusion: The highest caries risk of pre-school children is tooth decay, with the possible preventive home-treatment, were helping the children to brush their teeth at night before bedtime, assuring the children’s sufficient water consumption, and assuring the children’s vegetable and fruits contained menu.

Abstract

Many people favor coffee. However, regarding health and aesthetic dentistry, coffee gives a negative effect. Tanin in coffee causes a brown stain on the tooth surface. Therefore, in aesthetic dental care, teeth whitening has become popular matter. One of the natural ingredients used for teeth whitening treatment is strawberry. The purpose of this study was to obtained data regarding the effect of strawberry juice on the re-whitening process of the coffee-stained tooth enamel surface. This study was a pure experimental in-vitro using Friedman and Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Tests for statistical analysis. The population of this study was anterior teeth. The samples were maxillary central incisors. The sampling technique using sample size determination based on the testing formulas of the difference of two average data pairs resulted in 11 specimens. The result of the research showed that all coffee-stained teeth sample had an increasing enamel colour index. The samples were then applied with strawberry juice resulted in a significant average difference colour index value indicated by p<0.001. The conclusion of this research indicated that there was an effect of strawberry juice on the coffee-stained teeth re-whitening process.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Pendahuluan: Ilmu radiologi dalam kedokteran gigi berperan penting dalam diagnosis dan perencanaan perawatan melalui pemeriksaan radiografi, seperti radiografi panoramik yang memberikan gambaran luas struktur tulang dan gigi. Kesalahan dalam interpretasi radiografi dapat menyebabkan diagnosis yang keliru, sebagaimana ditunjukkan oleh peneliti sebelumnya yang menemukan persentase kesalahan diagnosis oleh praktisi cukup tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui apakah dokter gigi umum sudah dapat melakukan interpretasi dengan baik dan benar. Metode: Jenis penelitian deskriptif dengan teknik pengambilan sampel convenience sampling. Penelitian dilakukan pada 96 dokter gigi umum menggunakan instrumen berupa kuesioner dengan 15 butir pertanyaan. Hasil: Berdasarkan distribusi responden, mayoritasnya merupakan perempuan dengan domisili di luar Kota Bandung yang sebagian besarnya bekerja pada klinik mandiri (24,8%) dan rumah sakit (21,4%). Sebanyak 57 responden (59,4%) berada pada tingkat pengetahuan dengan kategori baik lalu sebanyak 36 orang (37,5%) dengan kategori cukup, serta 3 orang (3,1%) dengan kategori kurang. Simpulan: Tingkat pengetahuan dokter gigi umum dalam mengidentifikasi karakteristik lesi lusen tergolong baik, tetapi kemampuan dalam menentukan radiodiagnosis dan radiagnosis banding masih kurang. Secara keseluruhan, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pengetahuan dokter gigi umum dikategorikan cukup dengan rerata perolehan nilai berada pada 10,8. KATA KUNCI: Pengetahuan, radiodiagnosis, dokter gigi umum, lesi lusen, radiografi panoramikGeneral Dentist's knowledge in determining radiodiagnosis of lucent lesions through panoramic radiography: Study descriptiveABSTRACT Introduction: Radiology in dentistry plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment planning through radiographic examinations, such as panoramic radiography which provides a broad view of the bone and tooth structure. Mistakes in radiographic interpretation can lead to misdiagnosis, as shown by previous study which found a high percentage of misdiagnosis by practitioners. The aim of this study was to determine whether general dentists were able to interpret properly and correctly. Methods: This type of research was descriptive with a convenience sampling technique. The study was conducted on 96 general dentists using an instrument in the form of a questionnaire with 15 questions. Results: Based on the distribution of respondents, the majority were women domiciled outside the city of Bandung, most of whom worked in independent clinics (24,8%) and hospitals (21,4%). A total of 57 respondents (59,4%) were at the level of knowledge with a good category, then 36 people (37,5%) were in the sufficient category, and 3 people (3,1%) were in the less category; (4) Conclusions: The level of knowledge of general dentists in identifying the characteristics of lucent lesions is classified as good, but the ability to determine radiodiagnosis and differential radiodiagnosis is still lacking. Overall, the results of the study showed that the level of general dentists’ knowledge is categorized as adequate, with an average score of 10,8.KEY WORDS: Knowledge, radiodiagnosis, general dentist, lucent lesions, panoramic radiography
