Abstract

Background: Radiography is essential in dentistry for diagnosis and treatment planning, with two-dimensional imaging such as panoramic and periapical radiographs being commonly used. The advancement to three-dimensional imaging, specifically Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), provides more detailed visualization but remains underutilized due to limited availability and knowledge among dentists in Indonesia. Purpose: This research is aimed to determine the knowledge and experience of using 2D and 3D diagnostic imaging among dentists in Surabaya. Methods: This research is using an observational descriptive study with a cross-sectional design consisting of 100 dentists who are domiciled in Surabaya and registered with PDGI in Surabaya. Results: The result showed that dentists’ knowledge of 2D diagnostic imaging with a good category has a percentage of 18%, quite good category with 49% and poor category with 33%. Meanwhile, the dentists’ knowledge of 3D diagnostic imaging with a good category has a percentage of 9%, quite good category with 36% and poor category with 55%. Around 88% of respondents have referred their patients for panoramic and periapical radiographs, while only about 22% of dentists have referred their patients for CBCT examinations. Conclusion: The knowledge of dentists regarding 2D diagnostic imaging is quite good, while the knowledge of dentists regarding 3D diagnostic imaging is low. The majority of dentists in Surabaya often refer their patients for panoramic and periapical radiographic examinations compared to referring them for CBCT examinations.

Abstract

There is evidence that termite colonies of the subfamily Termitomyces produce an unusual structure called a fungus comb, especially Termite mounds in Indo-Malaysian regions. This comb may include bioactive components that the termites use to investigate if they might aid in the body's inflammatory response. The anti-inflammatory potential, concentration, and bioavailability of fungal comb from the Indo-Malayan termite macrotermes gilvus Hagen mound will be further discussed in this research. We utilized databases to review the current evidence related to anti-inflammatory potential of fungus combs and termite macrotermes gilvus hagen mound. We discussed the most recent evidence of fungus combs and termite macrotermes gilvus mound regarding the anti-inflammatory potential, concentration, and bioavailability. This study concludes that ethyl acetate extract from fungus comb could enhance the immune system. Phenolic compounds have a positive effect on health indicators. These mechanisms may account for the decreased prevalence of chronic degenerative disorders in populations.

Abstract

Objectives: Tooth loss is a common oral health issue in the general population, with its prevalence increasing significantly with age. Tooth loss that is not immediately rehabilitated with dentures can lead to disruption of the occlusion pattern. This condition may be affected by the position of the condyle, but it can also lead to morphological alterations of the mandibular condyle. If this condition is left untreated for an extended period, these changes can significantly impact the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Materials and Methods: The sample used in this study was secondary data from panoramic radiographs of bilateral partially edentulous patients who had high-quality radiograph standards. Results: The findings of this study demonstrate the alteration in mandibular condyle position, with 57.7% of cases showing anterior position and 13.7% showing retroposition in patients with bilateral partial edentulism. The most dominant condyle morphology distribution was found to be the pointed shape (36.3%), whereas the least was the flat shape (5.7%). Conclusion: In this study, the results showed that the anterior position and pointed shape were the most common position and morphology of the condyle. The distribution of this position was found to be higher in women than in men, with hormonal, anatomical, and habitual factors influencing the distribution of pressure on the TMJ.
