Abstract

Background: When teeth are not positioned correctly, it is referred to as malocclusion, and it frequently happens in the general population. One of the traits of malocclusion that is frequently observed in children beginning in the early mixed dentition phase is crowded teeth. This disorder will become more serious and cause speech, masticatory, and cosmetic issues if therapy is not started right away. Environmental and genetic factors have a significant impact on malocclusion. Therefore, a child's nutrition, bad habits, trauma to the main teeth, and the pattern acquired from both parents will all affect the malocclusion's characteristics. Purpose: Enhance instruction in identifying malocclusion and the stages of permanent and changing tooth growth. Methods: Forty-six students from Madrasah Tsanawiyah's classes 7A and 7B participated. Intraoral examinations and the completion of pretest and posttest questionnaires were used to collect data. Next, Stastical Package Social Science (SPSS) version 23 was used to analyze the frequency distribution data. Results: Male students had more crowded teeth (20) and less crowded teeth (2) than female students (18) and less crowded teeth (6). Class I malocclusion (41), class II malocclusion (3), and class III malocclusion (2) are the highest. Conclusion: Malocclusion class I is characterized by the greatest number of crowded teeth in males aged 8 to 10 years.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the parameters for measuring craniofacial growth is suture closure. The sutures are connected with fibrous connective tissue that grows in a few days. The objective is to analyze the gray-scale value (GV) potential by measuring the volume of interest (VOI) of the different skulls using micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT). The analysis uses certain parameters, namely density and thickness. Material and Methods: This study involves experimental mice to examine normal growth and development processes at a certain age by investigating mice’s suture maturation. If the suture closure process has been completed, it can be used as a potential standard for measuring the cessation of growth in the craniofacial area. This study examined three different skulls obtained from 15-day-old (cranium 1) baby mice, 25-day-old (cranium 2) baby mice, and 120-day-old adult mice (cranium 3). The possible GV was 0 to 255 (Micro-CT-reconstructed image dataset in 8-bit-BMP-format). There was a volumetric space that limited the analysis area of the bone tissue whose density was measured. In micro-CT-reconstructed images, VOI was determined by the region-of-interest (ROI) in the 2D image slices, which completely formed an image. The machine used was a Bruker SkyScan 1173 high energy micro-CT. Results and Discussions: The suture of Cranium 1, Cranium 2, and Cranium 3 have a relative mean density (GV) of 32,45; 29,74; and 50,1, respectively. This study also measures the geometric average measurement of bone cranium thickness with a 5x5 mm cross-section. The average thickness of cranium 1 is 0.554 mm, cranium 2 is 0.645 mm, and cranium 3 is 1.417 mm. Conclusion: Sutures cranium 1 and 2 are lower in density and thinner than cranium 3 as documented by means of Micro-CT.

Abstract

In this study, an adult rat's calvaria was used to examine craniofacial anatomical landmarks of maxilla and mandible using Micro-Computed Tomography (micro-CT) as the marker of craniofacial growth and development in rat. It is used to assist research, translating landmark points for diagnosis. Landmarks on the rat’s calvaria were determined to set the measurements of two specified points. One of the ways to validate craniofacial growth and development is to look at the differences between craniofacial before and after a specified period or treatment. With micro-CT analysis, the researchers are more precise in determining the difficult points in the cranium.The sample analysis was carried out and measured by DataViewer version 1.6.0.0 64-bit Application. CTVox version-3.3.1 64-bit is used to display 3D visuals. Reconstruction results after adjusting the data range were 30-255 (the color range 0-255). The machine used was Bruker SkyScan-1173 High Energy Micro-CT. Findings anatomical landmarks for the examples, the maxilla determined I for the point on premaxilla between jawbone and lingual surface of upper incisors. In the mandible, I’ for the most anterior edge of the alveolar bone on the convexity of the lower incisor. The unevenness of the cranium made manual measurements difficult and not possible. However, this micro-CT method makes the landmark point determination more detailed and dependable. This makes geometric measurements of craniofacial more reliable. Micro-CT analysis is a more dependable method to determine anatomical landmarks and measure craniofacial structures as the marker of craniofacial growth and development in rat.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries remains one of the primary health problems. Stunting has become a critical health priority in Indonesia, representing a nutritional disorder that results in children having lower height compared to their peers. There was a significant relationship between oral health problems and growth stunting, where dental and oral health issues can contribute to stunting development, and vice versa. Early detection of malocclusion is crucial for preventing complications and can provide both short-term and long-term benefits in maintaining optimal growth and development. Purpose:  to enhance dental and oral health knowledge for malocclusion detection as an effort to prevent stunting among elementary school children during the corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: This analytical observational study was conducted at SDN Medowo III, Kediri Regency, East Java, involving 100 participants from grades 4, 5, and 6. Intervention by video education and presentation education booklet. Data collection was performed through pre-test and post-test questionnaires. Frequency distribution analysis was conducted using SPSS version 23. Results: The study showed significant improvement in dental and oral health knowledge across all grade levels. Pre-test scores for dental health knowledge were 58%, 64%, and 60% for grades 4, 5, and 6, respectively, which increased to 80%, 82%, and 85% in post-test evaluations. Similarly, stunting knowledge improved from 59%, 68%, and 70% in the pre-test to 80%, 81%, and 83% in the post-test across the respective grades. Conclusion: The educational intervention effectively enhanced elementary school children's knowledge regarding dental and oral health and stunting prevention during COVID-19.
