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.
