Abstract

Chemical cleaning of dentures using a denture cleanser is essential to prevent denture stomatitis—an infection of the oral mucosa caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus adhering to the denture base. One key component of denture cleansers is an antibacterial agent. Habbatussauda (Nigella sativa) contains antibacterial compounds that may serve as an alternative active ingredient in denture cleansers. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of effervescent tablets containing Habbatussauda extract as a denture cleanser in inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus growth on acrylic resin denture bases. The study employed a true experimental, post-test-only control group design, using 24 acrylic resin plates divided into six treatment groups: Habbatussauda extract concentrations of 9%, 12%, 15%, and 18%, along with positive and negative controls. Each plate was immersed in the respective Habbatussauda-based denture cleanser solution for 15 minutes. Researchers then counted the bacterial colonies using a colony counter. The Kruskal-Wallis test yielded a significant difference in colony counts (p < 0.05). Post hoc analysis with Bonferroni correction revealed significant differences between the 12% and 18% extract groups, as well as the positive control, compared to the negative control. However, no significant differences emerged between the extract groups (9%, 12%, 15%, and 18%) and the positive control. These findings indicate that Habbatussauda extract-based denture cleansers effectively inhibit Staphylococcus aureus growth on acrylic resin denture bases after 15 minutes of immersion.

Abstract

Gingival enlargement is defined as a common clinical sign of gingiva caused directly by plaque that causes gingival inflammation. Gingivectomy is a procedure that can be performed on patients with gingival enlargement. This case report describes the management of gingival enlargement in a case of tooth 42 due to individual tooth malposition. A 20-year-old male patient came to Soelastri Dental and Oral Hospital in Surakarta complaining of swollen gums. The complaint was felt in the upper and lower front gums. The patient was unaware of the swelling, had never received treatment, and did not experience any pain. Gingival treatment for this patient began with phase 1 periodontal therapy followed by gingivectomy. The gingivectomy treatment in this case used a scalpel instrument and the results were effective in reducing the patient's gingival enlargement. The patient was advised to undergo further orthodontic treatment to correct individual tooth malposition.

Abstract

Background: Inflammatory gingival enlargement is a periodontal condition often associated with plaque accumulation and can be exacerbated by local factors such as tooth malposition. Chronic inflammatory changes can develop into a fibrotic component that does not fully regress after nonsurgical therapy, necessitating surgical intervention to restore physiological and aesthetic gingival contour. This case report aims to describe the management of gingivectomy as a corrective therapy for gingival contour in a patient with tooth malposition that did not show optimal resolution after initial therapy. Case: A 23-year-old woman presented with gingival enlargement in the anterior mandibular region accompanied by bleeding during toothbrushing. Examination revealed crowding of teeth 33–43, moderate OHI category, plaque index 32%, gingival index 1.2, and pseudopockets with an average depth of 4 mm. Initial therapy, including scaling and root planing and oral hygiene education, resulted in improvement in inflammation, but gingival enlargement persisted. Gingivectomy using the external bevel technique was performed in the area, followed by gingivoplasty and periodontal pack placement. Result: A two-week post-procedure evaluation revealed no gingival enlargement or bleeding on probing, a decrease in probing depth to an average of 2 mm, and significant improvements in hygiene and plaque index. Conclusion: Gingivectomy preceded by early-phase therapy effectively removes excess gingival tissue, reduces pseudopockets, and creates a more physiological gingival contour. Controlling etiologic factors and maintaining oral hygiene play a crucial role in successful therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: Introduction: The fluoride content in composite resin restorations can help strengthen tooth structure affected by caries. It can also prevent secondary caries through the natural remineralization process. The mechanism of fluoride release occurs when the oral cavity is in an acidic state. It produces hydroxyl ions, which play an important role in stimulating fluoride release. The release of fluoride in composite resins runs constantly over time. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of immersion time on the amount of fluoride released by fluoride composite resin materials. Materials and Methods: This laboratory experimental study used 25 disc-shaped specimens of fluoride-containing composite resin Tetric N-Ceram Packable (Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein) (2 mm thickness × 5 mm diameter). The samples were divided into five groups based on immersion time: 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. Each sample was immersed in artificial saliva at pH 5.5 to simulate acidic oral conditions. The amount of fluoride released was measured using a UV–Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 570 nm. Results and Discussion: Post Hoc LSD analysis showed that the 1-day immersion group differed significantly from all other groups. Significant differences were also found between the 7-day group and the 21-day and 28-day groups, as well as between the 14-day and 21-day groups compared to the 28-day group. However, no significant differences were observed between the 7-day and 14-day groups or between the 14-day and 21-day groups. Fluoride release tended to decrease as immersion time increased. Conclusion: Immersion time significantly affects the amount of fluoride released from fluoride-containing composite resin materials.
