Abstract

Introduction: Patients with HIV often encounter significant oral health difficulties that can impact their overall well-being. Tooth extraction stands as a pivotal intervention to address these issues. A community service was conducted to give free tooth extraction to HIV patients and to educate patients on how such procedures can enhance their oral health by eliminating dental focal infections. Furthermore, it includes a survey component to assess patient satisfaction levels. Methods: A community service was conducted from June-August 2023 by Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Faculty of Dental Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, in collaboration with Yayasan Mahameru-Surabaya, Universitas Airlangga Dental Hospital. The objective was to provide oral health education, screening and tooth extraction to HIV patients, member of Yayasan Mahameru Surabaya. Tooth extractions was done by staffs and residents, telemedicine follow-up was conducted seven days post-extraction. A satisfaction survey utilizing semi-quantitative questionnaires was done to evaluate the patients' experiences with the service. Results: Forty-five HIV patients screened and 16 patients receiving tooth extraction.  The results of the survey showed that patients were satisfied with this community service activities. Questionaire  result: ease of  access to health provider (50%), ease in obtaining service (68%) patient safety during treatment (81,25%) and sufficient facility (75%). Conclusion: Community service in providing free tooth extraction for HIV patients is an effective method to ease patients accessing dental services and patients showed good satisfaction with dental services.

Abstract

Background: Increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cluster of difference 34 (CD34) in ameloblastoma has been noted. Both proteins are markers of angiogenesis that play a role in supporting the growth of ameloblastoma. The existence of histopathological types of ameloblastoma allows for differences in behavioral and growth characteristics. Purpose: To evaluate the differences and correlation of VEGF and CD34 expression in histological types of ameloblastoma. Methods: This laboratory cross-sectional study uses total sampling from histological slides of mandibular ameloblastoma. Two observers manually quantified the immunohistochemical expression. The comparative data were analyzed statistically with the Kruskal–Wallis test (p < 0.05), while the correlative data were analyzed with Spearman’s rho (p<0.01). Results: 32 samples were obtained according to the inclusion criteria. The Kruskal–Wallis test showed significant differences in VEGF expression (p = 0.003) and CD34 expression (p = 0.026). The pairwise comparison test showed that VEGF expression in follicular ameloblastoma significantly differed from plexiform (p = 0.001) and combination (p = 0.002). The pairwise comparison test for CD34 expression showed a significant difference between follicular and combination ameloblastoma (p = 0.007). Spearman’s rho test showed a positive correlation (p = 0.001, r = 0.565) between markers. Conclusion: Follicular ameloblastoma expressed higher VEGF than plexiform and combination ameloblastoma. Follicular ameloblastoma expressed higher CD34 than combination types. CD34 expression is associated with VEGF in histological types of ameloblastoma.
