Abstract

Background : Dental caries is the most common disease and often occurs in the oral cavity that can be found in adults nor children and until now many studies about dental caries have been established to reduce the caries level. In our daily life, nitrate (NO3-) can be found in the green vegetables which can be reduced to NO2- by some oral bacteria. NO2- can inhibit the growth and acid production of pathogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans to prevent the dental caries. There have been many studies that explain the effect of NO2- as an antibacterial agent, but there are limited studies that explain about the role of NO2- on maintaining the oral health and its relation to the NO3-reduction mechanism involved the environment in the oral cavity. Purpose : To analyze the role of NO2- producing bacteria and its mechanism to prevent the dental caries. Results : The amount of NO2- in the oral cavity produced by reduction of NO3- depends on diet and the number of NO3- reducing bacteria, especially obligate and facultative anaerobes. NO2- can inhibit the growth and metabolism of cariogenic bacteria. Conclusion : NO3- reducing bacteria in the oral cavity, a diet consisting of NO3- plays an important role in the prevention of dental caries through the NO3-- NO2- mechanism to reduce the number and metabolism of cariogenic bacteria.

Abstract

Background: Electromagnetic fields are forces associated with moving electric charges and have electrical, magnetic components and contain electromagnetic energy, one of which is radio frequency (RF) energy which is commonly used in telecommunications. Cell phones are one of the RF electromagnetic radiation devices that can emit 90-2450 MHz waves and are often placed near the head. The human body works like an electromagnetic field in that each cell has its own electrical circuit characteristics. As the number of electromagnetic radiation devices in the environment increases, the electromagnetic balance in the human body may be disturbed by the magnetic waves produced by cell phones. Electromagnetic radiation is known to have the ability to induce oxidative stress, which is characterized by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tissues. The accumulation of ROS in the body leads to osteoblast cell death. Osteoblasts are needed for mineralization of the extracellular matrix during bone growth. Therefore, bone growth is not optimal and can caused malocclusion. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between electromagnetic radiation and osteocalcin and bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) serum levels. Methods: Experimental laboratory research with a pre- and post-control group design approach was carried out on 12 Rattus norvegicus Wistar strain. Osteocalcin and BALP serum levels were calculated before and after treatment. This study used the t-test as a comparative study (p<0.05). Results: There are significant differences in osteocalcin and BALP values between the treatment groups before and after treatment. Conclusion: Cell phone radiations (electromagnetic field exposure) reduce osteocalcin and BALP serum levels.

Abstract

Background: Caries is a multifactorial disease that often occurs in the oral cavity and can be caused by Streptococcus mutans. Various ways have been done to reduce the number of Streptococcus mutans, one of them is by exposing them to a material agent such as silver-ion water. Silver-ion water has been recognized as an effective material for inhibiting several pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Thus, there is a possibility that silver-ion water can be used to reduce the number of bacteria that cause dental caries, such as Streptococcus mutans. Purpose: To determine the effect of silver ion water on the growth of Streptococcus mutans. Methods: This research is an experimental laboratory study (in vitro) with a control group post-test-only design. Streptococcus mutans were exposed to 0-15 ppm silver-ion water on Brain Heart Infusion Broth (BHIB) media, then Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were observed. Results: Silver-ion water with a concentration of 12.5 ppm was determined as MIC, and silver-ion water with a concentration of 15 ppm as MBC. Conclusion: Silver ion water is adequate as an antibacterial material in inhibiting (12.5 ppm) and killing (15 ppm) Streptococcus mutans.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries, as a primary disease in dentistry, is strongly influenced by the presence of biofilms. One of the Gram-positive bacteria that acts as an initiator in the biofilm formation process is Streptococcus gordonii. As the primary catechin in green tea, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is easily found in our daily lives, and it has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial effects. Several studies have revealed that EGCG inhibited the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, including inhibiting biofilm formation by damaging the bacterial cell wall and reducing glucosyltransferase activity. However, there is still limited information that explains the effect of EGCG on S. gordonii bacterial biofilms. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of EGCG in inhibiting the formation of S. gordonii bacterial biofilms. Methods: This study was an in-vitro experimental laboratory study, with samples divided into five groups, namely, the group containing BHIB-bacteria, the BHIB-bacteria-5% sucrose groups, and the treatment groups containing BHIB-bacteria-5% sucrose-EGCG with concentrations of 12.5%, 6.25%, and 3.125%, respectively, incubated for 24 hours. The data was analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Results: There was a significant difference in the formation of biofilms in S. gordonii bacteria with the addition of 5% sucrose in BHIB compared with the group of S. gordonii bacteria in BHIB. The highest biofilm formation in the group containing bacteria-BHIB-5% sucrose, while the lowest biofilm formation occurred in the treatment group containing bacteria-BHIB-5% sucrose-12.5% EGCG with significant difference between the group. Conclusion: The addition of EGCG 12.5% inhibits the formation of S. gordonii biofilms.

Abstract

Abstract Background: ASD is at greater risk of caries than typical individuals, due to motor impairment, bad habits, sensory overload, and diet. Pits and fissures, small depressions, and ditches on the teeth's surface often become area where food remains are trapped, leading to tooth cavities. Pit and fissure sealant prevent cavities by making the pits and fissures shallow and preventing food debris from being trapped. Objectives: The aim of community service is dental examinations and pit and fissure sealant procedures for ASD children. Methods: Coordinating partners, and creating visual instructions to understand activities and reduce anxiety levels during treatment were conducted, as well as surveying experiences with dentists. Results: Videos was very helpful in preparing to go to the dentist because as many as 64% of the survey targets had no experience. The reasons were concerns about bringing children (40%), costs (40%), and difficulty finding service providers (20%). As many as 36% of surveyors had been to the dentist in the last 6 – 12 months (75%) with the main complaint being toothache and gum pain (64%) or broken teeth (36%). Most participants in community service activities were female (82%). Conclussion: Good collaboration between parents and dentists help successful treatment in ASD Keywords: Autistic Spectrum Disorder, pit dan fissure sealant, caries Abstrak Latar Belakang: ASD beresiko lebih besar menderita karies dibandingkan individu tipikal, karena hambatan motorik, kebiasaan buruk, kewalahan sensori, diet makanan. Pit dan fissure, cekungan dan parit-parit kecil di permukaan gigi, sering menjadi tempat terperangkapnya sisa makanan dan berlanjut menjadi lubang gigi. Pit dan fissure sealant adalah pencegahan gigi berlubang dengan cara pengisian pit dan fissure sehingga menjadi dangkal, dan mencegah terperangkapnya sisa-sisa makanan. Tujuan: Memberikan pemeriksaan gigi dan tindakan pit dan fissure sealant pada anak-anak penyandang ASD. Metode: Kegiatan diawali dengan koordinasi mitra pelaksana dan mitra sasaran, pembuatan instruksi secara visual untuk pemahaman kegiatan dan menurunkan tingkat kecemasan pada saat dilakukan perawatan, serta survey pengalaman ke dokter gigi. Hasil: Video sangat membantu persiapan ke dokter gigi, karena sebanyak 64% sasaran survey belum berpengalaman pergi ke dokter gigi. Kendala yang dihadapi adalah kekhawatiran membawa anak (40%), biaya (40%) dan kesulitan mencari penyedia layanan (20%). Sebanyak 36% surveyor pernah ke dokter gigi dalam kurun waktu 6 – 12 bulan terakhir (75%) dengan keluhan utama adalah sakit gigi-gusi (64%) atau gigi yang patah (36%). Peserta kegiatan pengmas sebagian besar adalah laki-laki (82%). Kesimpulan: Kerjasama yang baik antara orang tua dan dokter gigi akan membantu keberhasilan perawatan pada penyandang ASD Kata Kunci: Autistic Spectrum Disorder, pit dan fissure sealant, karies

Abstract

Medical emergencies can occur in dentistry, including trauma to primary teeth. The global prevalence of dental trauma in children is 10-15%. Trauma to primary teeth can have severe medical, aesthetic, and psychological impacts. Parents and teachers at school are among the most important actors in providing emergency dental care for children. Therefore, providing information that increases parents’ and teachers’ knowledge about pediatric dental emergencies must be done so that appropriate management can be carried out. The method used was training on managing pediatric dental emergencies for parents and teachers at Whiz Kids Playschool Kindergarten. The evaluation showed increased participants’ knowledge before (Range = 10–80, Mean = 47.2) and after (Range = 70–100, Mean = 87.0) the training. Thus, this training successfully increased parents’ and teachers’ knowledge of managing pediatric dental emergencies.

Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic that has occurred worldwide due to the rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus requires adaptation, including in dentistry. Changes in dental care services have occurred in Indonesia, including closing practices, using PPE up to level 4, types of procedures that can be given, duration of treatment, and criteria for pediatric patients companion. Minimal Intervention Dentistry (MID) is defined as a principle in dentistry that aims to maintain oral tissue and prevent the development of a more severe disease. This technique is child-friendly because it does not involve various dental instruments that tend to increase anxiety. MID also produces small amounts of aerosols resulting minimal spread of COVID-19. Objective: This study aims to raise awareness about the application of MID by pediatric dentists specialist in the city of Surabaya during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The study utilized a questionnaire as the primary research instrument to gather data from a sample of 33 respondents out of a population of 60 pediatric dentists in Surabaya. The questionnaire covered various aspects, including the location and type of practice, years of practice, experience with practice closures, and data on actions taken by respondents regarding the implementation of MID measures during the pandemic. Results: Pediatric dentistry during the COVID-19 pandemic experienced a series of changes in its implementation, including closing practices for a period of several days, weeks and months, in 18.87%, 24.53%, 56.6% respectively. MID procedures have been widely used by pediatric dentists since before pandemic (80%) are fissure sealants with HVGIC ingredients (80%), Preventive Resin Restoration (82.8%), GIC restorations (83.9%), and SSC Hall Technique (77.3%). There were variations in the number of MID procedures performed by pediatric dentists the city of Surabaya during the COVID-19 pandemic, some of which had increased (26.67%), decreased (33.33%) and remained constant (40%). Conclusion: The implementation of the MID advantages in pediatric dentistry is very useful and has been applied before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and is recommended for future use.
