Abstract

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is the main cause of non-dental pain in the orofacial area. The causes and mechanisms of TMD are not yet fully understood. Generally, there are many factors that contribute to TMD, or mechanisms that exacerbate the condition. One of the primary causes of TMD is malocclusion. This study discusses the role of orthodontic treatment in managing TMD. Orthodontics is one of the treatments used to address this condition. Orthodontic treatment is one of the definitive long-term treatments for patients with various temporomandibular joint disorders through the proper use of various orthodontic ap-pliances. Therefore, orthodontic treatment is expected to improve oral health, functionality, and aesthetic appearance. It is con-cluded that orthodontic treatment can balance the bite of the upper and lower jaws, thereby achieving a normal bite.

Abstract

Tongue thrusting is the habit of protruding the tongue and pressing against the front teeth at rest, while speaking, or swallowing, which can lead to malocclu-sion. To overcome this habit, devices such as removable or fixed tongue cribs can be used. The habit of protruding the tongue causes an imbalance in the muscles of the mouth, which ultimately results in malocclusion, namely the incisors being pushed forward and an open bite. To overcome the habit of protru-ding the tongue, speech therapy, myofunctional therapy, tongue exercises, and the use of orthodontic appliances such as removable or fixed tongue cribs can be used. Variations of the tongue crib include the hybrid habit-correcting appliance, tongue crib with cold-cure acrylic, tongue shield, fixed palatal crib with trans-palatal arch, fixed tongue loops, tongue fence, and upper hay rake. It is concluded that the habit of protruding the tongue can be addressed using a remova-vable or fixed tongue crib.

Abstract

Oral health disorders are often caused by the growth of pathogenic bacteria, particularly Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Fuso-bacterium nucleatum. One common preventive measure is the use of mouthwash, although long-term use of chemical mouthwashes such as chlorhexidine often causes side effects, including tooth discolouration, mucosal irritation, and sensory disturbances. The use of natural brown algae (Phaeophyceae) extracts is an attractive alternative because they contain bioactive compounds that are antibacterial and antioxidant, such as fucoidan, polyphenols, and phlorotannins. Various studies have shown that extracts from brown algae species can significantly inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause oral diseases. This potential makes brown algae a suitable active ingredient in the formulation of effective and environmentally friendly mouthwashes. It is concluded that the development of brown algae-based mouthwashes supports the utilisation of marine resources as an innovative solution in the field of oral health.
