Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal disease, characterized by inflammation of the tissues surrounding the teeth (such as the gingiva, cementum, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament), is one of the most common problems. Periodontitis leads to the progressive destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. As the disease progresses, attachment loss around the affected teeth, eventually increased tooth mobility. One treatment for stabilizing tooth mobility is splinting. Case Report: 37-year-old male patient, complaining of mobility in his lower teeth with multiple diastema. Wire splinting was performed on the patient using 0.3- and 0.4-sized wires from teeth 33 to 43. Discussion: Teeth mobility can cause masticatory dysfunction. Splinting preserves mobile teeth and serving as periodontal support. Splinting should leave area around the gingiva clean to avoid plaque accumulation and easy maintenance. Conclusion: Splinting in this case report, enabling the teeth to function properly and provide easy maintenance. A follow-up examination is required six months to a year later to assess the improvement of the alveolar bone.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a condition where a child's height is insufficient for their age. Stunting in children under the age of five, which can be caused by chronic malnutrition, poses a danger of death. Objective: Stunting can have an impact on dental and oral health by increasing the risk for early childhood caries and delaying tooth eruption, also reducing the number of permanent teeth. Conversely, stunting may be impacted by poor dental health. Literature Study: Periodontal disease can have impact on pregnant women’s fetal growth such as premature birth and low birth weight babies both directly and indirectly. Subsequently, premature babies can increase the risk of stunting. Discussion: One of the stunting behind mechanisms was the discovery of differences in bacterial variations between stunted and normal children. Oropharyngeal bacteria, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis usually found in severe periodontitis, were detected in pregnant women which is likely to disrupt the host's immune homeostasis. Disorders in pregnant women can interfere with the process of tooth development in the fetus. Conclusion: Periodontal therapy in for periodontitis expecting mother, should have decrease the risk of adverse effect of pregnancy such as premature birth and low birth weight, and decrease the risk of having stunting children.

Abstract

Background: Chronic periodontitis is one of the inflammatory diseases in the oral cavity that can cause damage to the structure of the supporting tissues of the teeth. The bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis is the cause of chronic periodontitis which has specific virulence factors that produce lipopolysaccharides by destroying the host cell wall mechanism. Black tea with the Latin name Camellia sinensis contains theaflavins with antibacterial effects. Materials and methods: This study was an in vitro experimental laboratory study with disc diffusion method (Kirby Bauer), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The samples of this study were black tea ethanol extract with a concentration of 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% with positive control group is  chlorhexidine 0,2%, and negative control group is BHI broth, which tested Porphyromonas gingivalis. The Kruskal Wallis test results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the diameter of the bacterial inhibitory zone produced from the concentration group of black tea ethanol extract (7 mm), 40% (8,6 mm), 60% (10 mm), 80% (10,6 mm), and 100% (11,2 mm) (P <0.05). The Spearman correlation test results (r=0.431) showed a positive correlation with moderate strength between an increase in the concentration of black tea ethanol extract to the diameter of the bacterial inhibitory zone. Result: The MIC value in this study is 10% and the result of MBC is 20%. Conclusion: the ethanol extract of black tea has an antibacterial effect on Porphyromonas gingivalis. There is an increase in inhibition zone diameter along with an increase in the concentration of black tea extract, which indicates black tea ethanol extract has concentration-dependent antibacterial properties.
