Abstract

There are various options in multiple diastemas correction due to the multifactorial malocclusion aetiology. The treatment of this malocclusion is a challenging task for clinicians not only for aesthetic achievement but also for the stability of orthodontic treatment. The multidisciplinary approaches depend on the aetiology of malocclusion and patient compliance. This reported case aims to describe the correction of multiple diastemas in adult patients with bad tongue habits. A 27-year-old male patient came to dental hospital Universitas Sumatera seekingrthodontics treatment with multiple spacing as the chief complaint. The comprehensive lateral cephalometry analysis showed class III skeletal malocclusion, concave profile skeletal trend, and abnormal dental inclination. There was also tongue thrusting in speech and swallowing based on functional examination. The initial orthodontic treatment was started by controlling the patient’s bad tongue habit along with orthodontic treatment. After seven-month of orthodontic treatment, this malocclusion was corrected and good interdigitation was achieved. Albeit there were no skeletal significant changes in this orthodontic treatment, the dental inclination showed a significant change based on cephalometry evaluation analysis. The success of the orthodontic treatment in the adult patient is not only dependent on proper mechanotherapy but also relied on the patient’s compliance with tongue habit control. Therefore, early bad oral habit detection as one of the etiologic factors in treating this malocclusion can support the success of orthodontic achievement.

Abstract

Access to equal oral health attention is the right of all human beings, including orphan children with hearing loss or deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) conditions. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the correlation between the level of oral hygiene and caries indexing among the sub-population of DHH orphans receiving special care at Karya Murni orphanage in Medan City. A cross-sectional design was used with non-probability sampling to select 58 orphans willing to engage in the Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S) and mean of Decayed, Missing, and Filled Permanent Teeth (DMFT) assessment during dental and oral cavity screening after participating in counseling activities. Furthermore, the results showed a positive correlation (p=0.007) between oral hygiene and caries, suggesting that OHI-S impacted DMFT by approximately 34.9%, with both index scores presenting proportional equivalence. There is a need to conduct regular dental health monitoring along with education on visual methods and sign language among DHH orphans. Additionally, DHH orphan caregivers should actively engage in enhancing personal health behaviors, particularly to maintain oral and dental health.

Abstract

Background: Previous studies have reported that the imbalance of occlusion, cervical spine, length of the limb, and asymmetric leg length are related to the presence of muscle compensation. These issues influence some strategies in orthodontic diagnosis for developing an updated stomatognathic system over multidisciplinary care issues. Purpose: This study aimed to obtain orthodontic findings and an orthopedic relationship between foot posture/function and dental malocclusion based on cross-sectional studies. Review: Some findings about postural system disequilibrium in static and dynamic foot postural related to occlusal changes have been reported following the mixed dentition phase. From 248 articles, 5 articles were selected and assessed with the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal cross-sectional checklist and analyzed. Conclusions: Although the selected eligible articles demonstrated a low risk of bias in agreement (p > 0.05) among authors, the evaluation of those cross-sectional studies is still limited and requires further longitudinal studies with precise diagnostic parameters. Those parameters for evaluating the relationship between foot posture and malocclusion should encompass both static and dynamic approaches, including those related to mandibular position, tongue posture and function, bad habits, and temporomandibular disorder.

Abstract

Introduction: Accurate prediction of dental arch space is crucial for effective orthodontic treatment planning, particularly in mixed dentition analysis. The Moyers prediction table at 75% probability is widely used to estimate space requirements for unerupted canines and premolars, but its accuracy varies across populations due to ethnic differences in tooth size and arch dimensions. This study evaluates the accuracy of the Moyers 75% probability table in predicting dental arch space among Batak ethnic students at Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 Batak ethnic USU students (30 males, 30 females, aged 18–25 years) with normal occlusion and no history of orthodontic treatment. Dental casts were obtained, and mesiodistal widths of mandibular incisors, canines, and premolars were measured using digital calipers (accuracy 0.01 mm). Actual measurements were compared with predicted values from the Moyers 75% probability table. Discrepancies were analyzed, and accuracy was assessed as the percentage of predictions within ±1 mm of actual measurements. Results: The Moyers table overestimated canine-premolar space by an average of 1.2 mm in males and 0.9 mm in females. Accuracy within ±1 mm was achieved in 65% of cases, with significant differences between predicted and actual values (p<0.05). Sexual dimorphism was observed, with larger discrepancies in males. Conclusion: The Moyers 75% probability table shows moderate accuracy in Batak ethnic students, suggesting the need for population-specific adjustments. Further studies should explore ethnic variations to enhance orthodontic prediction models.

Abstract

The relationship between dental occlusion and posture remain controversial due to the lack of clear cause-and-effect evidence. Scientifically validated and reliable evidence can shape individuals' perceptions and influence their decisions regarding orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to conduct a survey to assess Indonesian orthodontists' perceptions regarding the relationship between malocclusion and posture (both oral and body posture) based on gender and years of professional experience. An online survey was conducted involving orthodontists who attended the Orthodontic Meeting in November based on a 7-item Likert scale modified questionnaire. Levene's test was performed continued with a prerequisite for the Multivariate Analysis of Variance test (p<0.05). The perceptions of 214 active members of the Indonesian Orthodontist Association showed a positive agreement regarding the relationship between malocclusion and posture (both oral and body). There was no significant interaction between gender and perception (p=0.417), nor between years of professional experience as an orthodontist and perception (p=0.182) regarding the relationship between malocclusion and posture. Since this survey-based analytical study found no interaction between gender and years of professional experience in orthodontists' agreement on the premise, these findings should be considered when updating the standard operating procedures curriculum for orthodontic diagnosis and multidisciplinary orthodontic approaches.

Abstract

Background: Stainless steel orthodontic wire is commonly used in orthodontic treatment but is prone to corrosion; therefore, an inhibitor is required. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the ethanolic extract of African leaves (Vernonia amygdalina Delile) as a corrosion inhibitor for stainless steel wires. Methods: A laboratory experiment with a pre- and post-test control group design was conducted. Samples included one negative control (artificial saliva), one positive control (chlorhexidine), and two treatment groups (ethanolic extract of African leaves at 3.125 mg/mL and 6.25 mg/mL), totaling 28 samples. Immersion lasted 7 days at 37°C. Corrosion rates were measured by weight loss, and microstructural changes were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. Results: The highest average corrosion rate was observed in the chlorhexidine group (0.98 ± 0.58 mils per year [mpy]), whereas the lowest was in the 6.25 mg/mL extract group (−0.04 ± 0.80 mpy). Scanning electron microscope analysis revealed notable microstructural differences: the artificial saliva group showed long scratches scattered across the surface and localized round porosity; the chlorhexidine group exhibited rough scratches and widespread porosity; in contrast, the African leaves groups displayed minor scratches and a thin layer presumed to be protective. Conclusion: The ethanolic extract of African leaves considerably affects corrosion rates and microstructural changes in stainless steel orthodontic wires.

Abstract

Prevention of dental and oral health problems in pregnant women can be done by increasing knowledge and changing the behavior of pregnant women. The target audience for this community service activity are women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and posyandu cadres. The partner in this community service is the head of the posyandu cadre in Ujung Rambung village. The partner's problem lies in the emergence of dental and oral health problems and KEK during pregnancy. Screening activities for women of childbearing age in Ujung Rambung village include 12 components of dental and mouth screening, as well as upper arm circumference screening as an observation of nutritional status, and also detects the average age of women of childbearing age who attend as participants. Based on the results of the screening tabulation, it was found that 61.5% of the activity participants had cavities, and 73.1% had tartar. This condition is a condition that is at risk of developing tooth and mouth infections. Apart from that, in a number of other problems, 26.9% found cases of bleeding teeth when brushing their teeth, and they often experienced food stuck in their teeth (53.8%). In the study of measuring upper arm circumference (LILA) as a monitoring of nutritional status and chronic energy deficiency (KEK), the average LILA was 30.08 cm. This was also followed by monitoring of reproductive age with an average age of 32.7 years. Nutritional status and maternal health before, during and after pregnancy affect the early growth and development of children, starting from the womb. Gingivitis of pregnancy is inflammation of the gums experienced during pregnancy. Oral screening and the incidence of CED are important components that can be complied with during the early trimester of pregnancy.

Abstract

Mandibular growth and development are often used as indicators of age.  Dentists perform fractal analysis using panoramic radiographs to assess mandibular bone density during its growth and development. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the differences in the mean of fractal analysis values of individuals from the Batak Tribe using a panoramic radiograph. The method used was a cross-sectional design comprising 120 panoramic radiographs. Based on age category, the radiographs were divided equally into Groups 1 (ages 6-12 years), 2 (13-18 years), 3 (19-24 years), 4 (25-35 years), 5 (36-45 years) and 6 (45-60 years). ImageJ software was used to measure density, and data analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and LSD statistical tests. The highest to lowest mean of right and left fractal analysis values were observed in groups 4, 5, 3, 6, 2, and 1, respectively. The results showed significant differences in fractal analysis value across age groups within the Batak Tribe based on panoramic radiograph assessments.

Abstract

Tooth agenesis (TA) relates to multiple congenital dental disorder and the most prevalent developmental disorders affecting approximately 200 million people globally. The management of TA require interdisciplinary dental approaches. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a case report evaluation of TA based on population and ethnicity. This scoping reviews based on  Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, has been registered in Open Science Framework. Relevant articles were retrieved from Proquest, Science Direct, PubMed, and SpringerLink databases with keywords comprising of ‘Prevalence’ AND ‘Tooth Agenesis’ AND ‘Nonsyndromic or Syndromic’. From 2014 to 2024, there were only five non-syndromic tooth agenesis case reports were included to be reviewed. The review of multiple case reports of tooth agenesis demonstrated significant variability in clinical and radiography evaluation involving inheritance pattern. By early identification in mixed dentition, the comprehensive and individualized treatment approaches are required to address both esthetics and functional outcomes. Further population-based studies of genetic involvement in TA can contribute early detection of malocclusion.
