Abstract

Dentists are typically at high risk of developing low back pain (LBP) due to their working position. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the role of ergonomic interventions in preventing LBP. The study procedures were carried out using a scoping review method with Boolean search based on PCC (Population, Concept, and Context) on PubMed, Wiley, and Google Scholar. Article management and selection process was then conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) as a guide. Inclusion criteria were experimental articles from 2011 to 2021, while exclusion criteria included scoping, rapid, and systematic reviews, gray literature, or papers that were not fully accessible. A total of 1775 articles were obtained and only 12 were selected with a total of 557 participants. The selected articles consisted of 2, 1, and 7 in the work environment, organizational, and individual domains, respectively, while 2 articles had more than 1 ergonomic intervention in different domains. The results showed that ergonomic interventions could prevent LBP among dentists. The clinical significance reported across all included articles showed that participants experienced positive changes in posture, decreased pain levels, and improved work quality after receiving the treatment across all domains.

Abstract

Highlights Dentists are at a higher risk of experiencing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) compared to non-dental healthcare workers. This is due to repetitive movements, the use of vibrating tools, and prolonged exposure to unergonomic postures. Ergonomic interventions are a key method for preventing CTS in dentists, aiming to reduce the risk of repetitive injuries that can lead to long-term disability.   Abstract Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a peripheral mononeuropathy caused by compression of the median nerve. Dentists are susceptible to CTS due to awkward static body postures and ergonomic issues with the wrist, including the use of vibrating instruments, repetitive movements, large muscle forces, and awkward postures such as flexion, extension, and ulnar and radial deviation. Objective: This study aimed to review various studies on ergonomic interventions to prevent CTS in dentists. Material and Method: This research followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines and used PCC framework (Population, Concept, and Context) for article selection process. Inclusion criteria consisted of articles with an experimental research design published between 2011 and 2021. Exclusion criteria included scoping reviews, rapid reviews, systematic reviews, gray literature, and articles that were not fully accessible. All keywords were taken from MeSH terms, and literature searches were conducted using Boolean searches on the PubMed, Wiley, and Google Scholar databases on August 17, 2021. Result: There were limited experimental research articles on CTS in dentists. Out of 887 articles obtained, only five were selected, with a total of 357 participants. The research subjects included general dentists, specialist dentists, and dental hygienists, both with and without CTS. Conclusion: Ergonomic interventions play a crucial role in preventing CTS in dentists. Clinically, these interventions are associated with improved hand function, reduced pain in the wrist/hand, and increased pinch and grip strength.

Abstract

Dental health is one of the important aspects in maintaining overall body health. Healthy teeth not only provide aesthetic benefits, but also play a role in the digestion and speech process. Many people still do not understand how important it is to maintain dental and oral health. A common problem in children is dental caries, which can pose a great danger to children's physical, psychological, and social health by causing dental discomfort and subsequent tooth loss, which makes eating, talking, sleeping, and socializing difficult. The role of mothers as parents and teachers at school serves as a key model for the development of children's dental and oral health behaviors. As a result, developing good basic dental and oral health behaviors is essential to establishing dental health standards that will be maintained into adulthood. The purpose of this activity is to improve the knowledge and attitudes of mothers and teachers at Wijayakusuma 01 Elementary School, Grogol Petamburan West Jakarta in maintaining and preserving children's dental and oral health through providing education accompanied by filling out pre- and post-test questionnaires. This activity was carried out by team members from the Bachelor of Dentistry study program, profession, and the Specialist Dentist Education Program of the Faculty of Dentistry, Trisakti University, in the form of counseling on Dental and Oral Health to representatives of mothers and teachers at Wijayakusuma 01 Elementary School, Grogol Petamburan sub-district, West Jakarta.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders are common issues that affect various age groups, including children and adolescents. In dentistry, a frequently encountered musculoskeletal disorder is temporomandibular disorder, which can significantly impact the quality of life of those affected. Schools play a crucial role in preventing and detecting musculoskeletal disorders among students. However, the literature indicates that teachers' knowledge regarding musculoskeletal disorders generally remains relatively low. Therefore, education and training programs must enhance teachers' understanding of these issues. As part of its commitment to health education, the Community Service Team (PkM) of Universitas Trisakti conducted an awareness program for 100 secondary school teachers at IPEKA Tomang. The program was carried out in two stages, focusing on general musculoskeletal and orofacial disorders. The evaluation results showed an improvement in teachers' understanding of both topics, which is expected to contribute to the prevention and early management of musculoskeletal disorders in schools.

Abstract

The upper canine teeth exhibit significant sexual dimorphism, making them frequently used in gender identification in forensic odontology. The measurement of the inter-canine width can be performed using conventional methods, such as a digital caliper, or modern methods using an intraoral scanner. The intraoral scanner offers higher accuracy and easier data storage; however, no studies have compared the inter-canine width of the upper jaw using both methods. This study measured the inter-canine width of the upper jaw on 80 jaw models using both instruments, with each measurement performed three times per instrument. The measurement results were analyzed using SPSS, with Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for agreement, Kolmogorov-Smirnov for normality, and Independent T-test for significance. The ICC results showed good agreement (0.892), and the Independent T-test revealed no significant difference (p = 0.598). It can be concluded that there is no significant difference between the measurement of the upper inter-canine width using the intraoral scanner and the digital caliper.

Abstract

Understanding the concept of Integers remains a significant challenge for many elementary school students, particularly in grasping the concept of place value. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach, assisted by number board media, in improving the learning outcomes of fifth-grade students in Integer material. A quantitative method with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design was employed, involving 24 students from SDN Bantarkemang 6 selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 10-item multiple-choice test administered before and after the intervention. The results show an increase in the average score from 68.33 (pretest) to 87.08 (posttest). The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant improvement. The N-Gain score of 0.6604 was classified as moderate, supporting the conclusion that the TaRL approach, combined with number board media, is effective in enhancing students’ learning outcomes in Integers concepts.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are pathological conditions that affect various structures of the musculoskeletal system, including nerves, tendons, muscles, joints, ligaments, and bones. MSDs are common among dentists, with the highest complaints at the neck, shoulders, back, and hands. Musculoskeletal disorders can be caused by a variety of risk factors, and posture while performing dental care procedures is one of them. The prolonged awkward posture performed by the dentist may increase the risk of MSDs. Neck pain, lower back pain (LBP), and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are the most common types of MSDs suffered by dentists. A study revealed that dentists are experiencing lost productivity due to MSDs, caused by musculoskeletal complaints, poor sleep quality, and high stress levels. Therefore, the understanding and implementation of ergonomic principles in dentistry is important for the prevention of MSDs. The use of dental loupes, stretching, and regular exercise can also help maintain the productivity of dentists.

Abstract

Masalah gigi berlubang dan karang gigi merupakan masalah gigi mulut yang dapat ditemukan pada usia remaja. Akumulasi plak memicu proses demineralisasi dan menyebabkan terbentuknya gigi berlubang. Kandungan mineral dalam saliva memicu proses mineralisasi plak sehingga membentuk karang gigi. Menyikat gigi merupakan upaya pencegahan primer untuk mengurangi plak. Oleh karena itu, penyuluhan dan pelatihan kesehatan gigi mulut pada remaja berperan penting dalam meningkatkan kesadaran diri dalam memelihara kesehatan gigi mulut. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meninjau efektivitas penyuluhan serta pelatihan kesehatan gigi mulut pada remaja. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat yang dilaksanakan pada 23 Mei 2025 di SMKS Islam Bahagia, Kalianyar, Tambora, Jakarta Barat, DKJ Jakarta melibatkan 76 peserta usia remaja. Kegiatan meliputi penyuluhan terkait anatomi gigi dan masalah kesehatan gigi mulut, serta pelatihan menyikat gigi dengan baik. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pretest-posttest untuk mengukur tingkat pengetahuan, serta observasi visual menggunakan disclosing solution untuk mengukur kemampuan diri dalam memelihara kebersihan gigi mulut dari plak. Terdapat peningkatan signifikan skor pengetahuan peserta setelah penyuluhan (median pretest 72,54 menjadi posttest 86,39; p<0,001). Visualisasi disclosing solution menunjukkan penurunan signifikan plak pada peserta dengan susunan gigi normal. Namun, peserta dengan gigi berjejal masih menunjukkan sisa plak yang menandakan keterbatasan efektivitas teknik menyikat gigi pada kondisi anatomi tertentu. Penyuluhan dan pelatihan memberikan dampak positif terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan dan kemampuan menyikat gigi pada remaja. Namun, keberhasilan penyuluhan dan pelatihan kesehatan gigi mulut dipengaruhi oleh kondisi individual rongga mulut. Optimalisasi penyuluhan perlu mempertimbangkan pendekatan tambahan seperti edukasi penggunaan alat bantu kebersihan gigi dan evaluasi berkala menggunakan disclosing solution.

Abstract

Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is a crucial dental intervention designed to maintain the vitality of the dental pulp, particularly in carious lesions or trauma. The evolution of biomaterials in VPT has significantly affected dental practices by providing less invasive alternatives that safeguard tooth vitality and functionality. Continued exploration of the properties and effects of these materials is crucial for enhancing treatment strategies and optimizing dental care outcomes. Bibliometric analysis allowed the assessment of trends in the biomaterials used for VPT. Data mining was performed using the Scopus database and Boolean expressions. Data extraction and analysis were conducted using VOSviewer version 1.6.20., VOSviewer thesaurus, and Microsoft Excel. A total of 856 documents were identified, and the United States had the largest number of documents and citations (110 documents, 6,938 citations). The top three sources were the Journal of Endodontics, International Journal of Endodontics, and Dental Materials Journal. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is still the dominant biomaterial used in VPT to this day. MTA can accelerate dentinogenesis in VPT. The prominence of “MTA” and “VPT” as keywords highlights research on prevalence, causes, prevention, and evaluation, emphasizing the need to investigate biomaterial-driven healing, regeneration, stem cell activity, and gene expression.
