Abstract

The routine and long term use of chemicals to maintain oral and dental health have the potency to result in the emergence of side effects; therefore another strategy is needed as an alternative such as using antimicrobial agents extracted from plants. The purpose of this study is to review the effectiveness of lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel extract as an antibacterial in preventing biofilm formation. Biofilm is a component consisting of bacteria in a self-produced polymeric matrix, attached to an inert surface, alive, and can survive because of its ability to capture nutrients and withstand adverse environmental conditions. Lime peel contains flavonoids which are the largest group of polyphenol compounds that can work as antioxidants and antibacterial by denaturing bacterial cell proteins and damaging bacterial cells. Flavonoids can also inhibit glucosyltransferase (GTF) activity of Streptococcus mutans to prevent biofilm formation. Lime peel extract inhibits the formation of the activity of the enzyme Streptococcus mutans. As a conclusion lime peel extract contains compounds with therapeutic potential and has the effect of inhibiting the formation of the activity of the enzyme Streptococcus mutans so that it can be used to inhibit the formation of biofilms. Keywords: antibacterial, biofilm, Citrus aurantifolia

Abstract

Abstract: Endodontic treatment aims to eliminate infection, pain, and maintain teeth in the oral cavity. This case report discussed the indication, risks, and case management of root canal retreatment of tooth 61 in a five-year-old patient at the Dental and Oral Teaching Hospital, Cimahi, Indonesia. We reported a five-year-old girl with complaint of a large cavity in her upper anterior tooth since a year ago. She had a root canal treatment but the filling fell out. The treatment was root canal retreatment of maxillary anterior teeth followed by an indirect composite crown replacement. After completion of the treatment, there were no complaints in tooth 61 and the indirect composite crown had well adapted. In this case, retreatment was needed to prevent the risk of infection and pain due to marginal leakage that could occur due to the release of the restoration. Therefore, it was expected that due to pulpal treatment, the primary teeth could be maintained in their position. This aimed to prevent growth and development disorders of the jaw arch, so, it could function properly. In conclusion, retreatment of the root canal in this case aimed to prevent the occurrence of infection caused by the release of restoration on the tooth that had previous endodontic treatment. The ultimate goal of retaining the primary teeth in the oral cavity was to maintain the jaw arch’s esthetics and masticatory function. Keywords: retreatment; root canal; aesthetics; mastication   Abstrak: Perawatan endodontik bertujuan untuk mengeliminasi infeksi, rasa nyeri, dan memper-tahankan gigi dalam ronga mulut. Laporan kasus ini membahas mengenai indikasi, risiko, dan penatalaksanaan kasus dari retreatment saluran akar gigi 61 pada pasien anak di Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut Pendidikan (RSGMP). Kasus seorang anak perempuan, 5 tahun dengan keluhan gigi depan atas berlubang besar sejak 1 tahun lalu, pernah dilakukan perawatan saluran akar namun tambalannya terlepas. Perawatan yang dilakukan ialah retreatment saluran akar pada gigi anterior rahang atas dengan follow up mahkota komposit indirek. Setelah selesai dilakukan perawatan, tidak ada keluhan pada gigi 61 dan mahkota komposit indirek telah beradaptasi dengan baik. Retreatment diperlukan pada kasus ini dengan tujuan untuk mencegah terjadinya risiko infeksi dan nyeri akibat kebocoran marginal yang dapat terjadi akibat terlepasnya restorasi. Dengan perawatan pulpa gigi sulung, gigi dapat dipertahankan pada posisinya. Hal ini bertujuan agar tidak terjadi gangguan tumbuh kembang pada lengkung rahang dan dapat berfungsi sebagaimana mestinya. Simpulan kasus ini ialah retreatment saluran akar bertujuan untuk mencegah terjadinya infeksi akibat terlepasnya restorasi pada gigi yang telah dilakukan perawatan endodontik sebelumnya, dengan tujuan akhir mempertahankan gigi sulung di rongga mulut untuk menjaga lengkung rahang, estetika, dan fungsi mastikasi. Kata kunci: retreatment; saluran akar; estetik; mastikasi
