Abstract

Gadget addiction is one of the negative effects of excessive gadget use. Currently, there are many studies investigating internet addiction using a neuroimaging approach using diagnostic modalities. One of the modalities that can be used is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). One of the developments in MRI is the Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Imaging or MRS examination. MRS is a radiological examination that uses MRS supporting software in the MRI modality which can show correlations of anatomical and physiological metabolic or biochemical information present in the body, both in normal and abnormal conditions. The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of metabolite values in adolescents with suspected gadget addiction to prevent and support therapeutic research using MRS. The method in this study is descriptive qualitative research used to determine the results of metabolite values in adolescents with suspected gadget addiction to prevent and support therapeutic research using MRS with the single voxel. The sample used is teenagers with suspected gadget addiction. The result of the MRS examination can show the value of metabolites in the adolescent's body. The results of the MRS are in the form of graphs of metabolite values. Normal metabolite values will produce Hunter's Angle. The graph of teenagers with suspected gadget addiction does not form a Hunter's Angle. The values of NAA (5,49), Cho (3,63), Cr (3,65) and Glx (1.06) in adolescents with suspected gadget addiction decreased from the normal values of NAA (10-15), Cho (8), Cr (7) and Glx value (5-10).

Abstract

Background: Silicone base dental holders have been introduced in periapical radiography to improve ergonomic and patient comfort. However, repeated intraoral use raises safety concerns related to microbial contamination due to direct contact with saliva and the potential for biofilm formation. This study aimed to evaluate the sterility of silicone based dental holders following clinical use, routine antiseptic washing, and seven days of storage. Methods: This experimental laboratory study employed a post-test with control group design. Thirty silicone dental holder samples were divided into an intervention group (used clinically; n = 15), and control group (unused; n= 15). After clinical use, intervention samples was washed using antiseptic soap according to standard hospital procedures and stored in sterile containers at room temperature for seven days. Sterility testing was performed using Heart Infusion Broth (HIB) culture medium incubated at 37°C for five days. Bacterial growth was assessed based on medium turbidity. Results: All samples (100%) in both groups showed turbidity in the HIB medium, indicating bacterial contamination despite prior antiseptic washing. The findings demonstrate that manual cleansing with antiseptic soap alone is insufficient to eliminate microbial colonization on silicone dental holders. Conclusions: Routine antiseptic washing and short term storage were insufficient to ensure the sterility of silicone dental holders. These finding highlight the need for more effective sterilization protocols to support safe reuse in periapical radiographic practice.
