Abstract

Introduction: Environmental factors such as socio-economic and nutrients factor can affect the dimensions and proportions of the body. Nutritional intake has a long-term effect on physical growth and can be assessed through body mass index up to age. Children with a nutritional disorder are characterised with low body mass index. This study was aimed to analyse the relationship of protein deficiency and low body mass index on the head shape and facial type of 6-7 years old children. Methods: The research type was descriptive correlative, and the research was conducted towards 16 subjects with low body mass index. Protein deficiency was assessed from food intake for 3 x 24 hours through food recall method and interview. The measurement of the cephalic and facial index was carried out to find out the head shape and face type, and then to correlate with protein deficiency and body mass index. Data was analysed using the chi-square test with the significance (p-value)<0.05. Results: There was a significant correlation between protein deficiency and low body mass index with the head shape (p-value=0.007), and the facial type of 6-7 years old children (p-value=0.027). There was a significant correlation between head shape with facial type in protein-deficient children with low body mass index (p-value=0). Conclusion: Protein deficiency accompanied by low body mass index influences the head shape and facial type of children.

Abstract

Haemodialysis is a medical procedure that artificially filters blood. This procedure is carried out to treat children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Although haemodialysis is a lifesaving treatment, it also raises many severe oral manifestations associated with ESDR. Among these are increased hypoplasia, enamel opacities, uremic stomatitis, oral bleeding, increased periodontal disease, reduced salivary flow, xerostomia, and an increased tendency of calculus deposition. This paper will discuss the oral manifestations associated with ESRD and their management in children undergoing haemodialysis treatment.

Abstract

Background: Traditional caries removal techniques, like using a vibrating drill, have several drawbacks, including unpleasant sensations, heat that can irritate dental pulp, the need for local anesthesia, high energy consumption, and environmental concerns. A new method, CMCR (chemomechanical caries removal) with Brix 3000, aims to address these issues. It is minimally invasive, painless, and comfortable, promoting a positive attitude towards dental care, especially for pediatric patients, those with anxiety or fear, and high-risk medical patients. Objective: This literature review examines the use of Brix 3000 gel for chemomechanical caries removal. Methods: The study uses a scoping review method, conducting a comprehensive literature search on PubMed, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar databases. The search focused on articles from the last 10 years using keywords like "chemomechanical caries removal," "Papain Based Gel," "Brix 3000," and "Dental caries." Results: Brix 3000 is the latest effective, efficient, and non-cytotoxic CMCR method. It has a shorter application time and lower cytotoxicity compared to other methods. It is the only CMCR agent using Encapsulating Buffer Emulsion (EBE) technology, enhancing proteolysis to remove degraded collagen from infected dentin. Brix 3000 is easy to use, requires no special instruments, offers patient comfort, does not need local anesthesia or drills, and does not irritate healthy tissue. Conclusion: Brix 3000 gel is an effective and efficient chemomechanical agent for caries removal.

Abstract

Background: Terpenoid isolate sarang semut (Myrmecodia pendans) is a natural material that has antibacterial power through the destruction of the cell membrane of Streptoccus mutans (S. mutans). Fructosiltransferase (ftf) is one of the extrapolisaccharides produced by S. mutans. The formation of Ftf is governed by the ftf gene. The aim of research was to know the correlation between terpenoid of Sarang semut administration with ftf mRNA expression of S. mutans biofilm ATCC 25175.Method: The study used mixed methods, namely descriptive explorative method to look at the isolation of ftf gene and ftf mRNA expression. This study began with making 1 day biofilm , then given terpenoid isolates of sarang semut and chlorhexidine. Next, isolation of ftf genes and ftf mRNA expression was carried out, then the differences in S. mutans ATCC 25175 mRNA ftf expression in sarang semut and chlorhexidine were given for 1 and 30 minutes using Real-Time PCR. Continued by looking at the relationship of the duration of administration of sarang semut terpenoids to the expression of S. mutans ATCC 25175 mRNA ftf biofilm. Statistical analysis used the t test with p-value <0.05 and Pearson.Results: The results showed that ftf gene with 130 bp length and ftf mRNA expression could be isolated from S. mutans biofilm ATCC 25175 which were given terpenoid isolates from sarang semut. The expression of sarang semut mRNA ftf and chlorhexidine did not have a significant difference for 1 minute (p = 0.0761), whereas in 30 minutes the ant nest had a higher mRNA expression (p = 0.0186). There is a relationship between the duration of administration of terpenoid isolates of sarang semut with S. mutans ATCC 25175 mRNA ftf expression (r2 = 0.614), with a medium correlation coefficient.Conclusion: The conclusion of the study were that sarang semut terpenoid had the same effect as chlorhexidine for 1 minute on S. mutans biofilms, whereas at 30 minutes it was different. There is a relationship between terpenoids of sarang semut isolates and S. mutans biofilm ATCC 25175 mRNA expression.

Abstract

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), including conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), poses a serious concern in children due to its negative effects on cognition, behavior, and overall well-being. One of the underlying causes of SDB is mandibular skeletal deficiency, which is frequently observed in Class II malocclusion. The Twin-Block appliance, a functional orthodontic device, has been explored for its ability to advance the mandible and potentially improve airway patency and sleep-related physiological parameters. This scoping review aimed to explore and summarize the breadth of existing evidence concerning the influence of Twin-Block treatment on pediatric SDB and sleep quality. A comprehensive search, guided by the participants, interventions, comparisons, outcomes, and study design (PICOS) framework, was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect for studies published between 2015 and 2025. Abstracts, eligible full texts, and reference lists were screened, and all reported primary and non-primary outcomes, as well as methods of measurement, were recorded. Eligible studies included clinical and observational research assessing outcomes such as the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), blood oxygen saturation, airway morphology, and aspects of sleep architecture. The review process followed Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodological guidance for scoping reviews. Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria, most of which demonstrated positive changes following Twin-Block intervention, including reduced AHI, improved oxygen saturation, enlarged upper airway dimensions, and enhanced sleep quality. However, discrepancies in research designs, intervention protocols, and measurement tools contributed to substantial variability across studies. Twin-Block therapy may provide a beneficial complementary approach to managing SDB in children, especially those with mandibular deficiencies. Nonetheless, more rigorous and standardized studies are necessary to confirm its effectiveness and support its broader application in clinical practice.

Abstract

Children with congenital heart disease and epilepsy require special consideration in pediatric dental treatment because systemic conditions, medication use, and the risk of medical emergencies may complicate oral rehabilitation procedures. Atrial septal defect (ASD) is associated with concerns regarding infective endocarditis and perioperative management, while epilepsy may increase the risk of seizures during stressful dental procedures. This study aimed to describe the management of comprehensive oral cavity rehabilitation in a child with ASD and epilepsy under general anesthesia and to discuss its relevance to pediatric dental practice. This research used a case report approach involving a 10-year-old girl with multiple carious teeth, ASD, and epilepsy. Preoperative evaluation was conducted through consultation with a pediatrician and anaesthesiologist, supported by thoracic radiography, panoramic radiography, and hematological examination. Dental procedures, including restorations, pulpotomy, extraction, and fluoride varnish application, were completed in a single session under general anesthesia using sevoflurane inhalation induction. The results demonstrated that comprehensive oral rehabilitation under general anesthesia was successfully performed without intraoperative or postoperative complications. Multidisciplinary coordination, individualized treatment planning, infection control, and strict perioperative monitoring contributed to treatment success. In conclusion, oral rehabilitation under general anesthesia can be a safe and effective treatment option for pediatric patients with ASD and epilepsy when supported by careful preoperative assessment and multidisciplinary management.
