Background: Losing teeth as a result of tooth extraction is a concern since it can affect speech impairment, temporomandibular junction (TMJ) dysfunction, masticatory dysfunction, and psychological disorders, specifically aesthetics. A fixed denture or a removable denture must be made to replace missing teeth in order to preserve the quality of life of the patient. Purpose: to describe the improvement in oral and dental health knowledge that resulted from dental health education about how to care for dentures in the nursing home. Methods: The data collection was done by two surveyors. The sample size for this study was 50 individuals over the age of 50. Under the direction of Jagir Health Centre, Pelangi and Lestari nursing home to educate the elderly about the instruction on how to take care of dentures. For the pre- and post-tests, the participants were required to complete a questionnaire in order to assess how their knowledge of oral and dental health had changed. Results: The presentation on oral and dental health education was mostly grasped by the participants. In comparison to the pre-test rate (58%), the post-test percentage (98%) was higher. Conclusion: This study showed that enhancement of elderly awareness of their oral and dental health condition through dental health education was a successful approach.

Abstract

Background: Maxillectomy, whether total or partial, results in significant anatomical and functional disturbances, including oronasal communication, impaired mastication, speech difficulty, and esthetic disfigurement. These sequelae can severely affect a patient’s nutritional status, social interaction, and psychological well‑being. Rehabilitation following maxillectomy aims to restore oral function and improve quality of life through obturator prostheses that close the surgical defect Objective: This case report aims to present the clinical management for hemi-maxillectomy Case Report : This report presents the case of a 76-year-old female, a housewife, who was referred to the Prosthodontic Clinic of RSKGMP Universitas Airlangga by an Oncology Surgeon for the fabrication of an obturator. The patient presented two weeks after hemi-maxillectomy surgery performed on. The patient complained of oronasal communication, hyper nasal speech, and difficulties in mastication and swallowing postoperatively; she had no previous experience using any obturator prosthesis. An interim acrylic obturator was planned to restore oral-nasal separation, improve speech intelligibility and swallowing function, and support psychological adaptation during the healing phase. Clinical procedures included impression-taking of the maxillary defect, jaw relation recording, tooth arrangement, and fabrication of an acrylic obturator supported by the remaining teeth. Follow-up evaluations demonstrated marked improvement in speech resonance, masticatory efficiency, deglutition, and patient comfort, with gradual adaptation to the prosthesis. Conclusion: This case report highlights the importance of timely interim obturator rehabilitation in elderly post-hemi‑maxillectomy patients to restore function, improve quality of life, and reduce psychological distress.

Abstract

Background: Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are one therapeutic option for tooth loss replacement. Despite its high absorption and porous qualities, acrylic resin—which is frequently used as the base material for RPDs—may encourage the growth of microorganisms and the development of plaque. Graptophyllum pictum L. Griff (G. pictum) has been commonly used in herbal medicine due to its pharmacological effects, which include immunomodulatory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal activities. Purpose: This study aims to assess the antibacterial properties of an herbal denture cleanser based on G. pictum in effervescent granule against Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa). Methods: The antibacterial activity was examined using the spread plate method at different time points. The number of Aa and Pg bacteria was determined using colony-forming units (CFUs) and bactericidal ratio (BR%). The statistical analysis employed the Kruskal–Wallis and post-hoc Mann–Whitney U tests (P < 0.05). Results: The results indicate that the herbal cleanser’s antibacterial effectiveness against Aa and Pg increased significantly over time, reaching its optimal level after a 15-minute soaking period, as evidenced by the CFUs and BR%. Conclusion: The herbal denture cleanser based on G. pictum demonstrated antibacterial properties against Pg and Aa, which are significant pathogens in oral infections. These results indicate that this herbal formulation has potential as an effective alternative for future denture cleaning applications.
