Abstract

A 1-week-old female infant with bilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) was referred to the Department of Prosthodontic, Hasanuddin University Dental Hospital. The nutrition was managed through a nasogastric tube. The patient was in primary need of appliance that could support the feeding. Intraoral examination revealed bilateral complete CLP deformity diagnosed as bilateral complete labiognatopalatoschizis. It was performed fabrication of nasolalveolar molding (NAM) in order to reduce the severity of the initial cleft deformity and to achieve better and more stable re-sults in CLP infants, in particularly advantageous to lengthen the deficient columella prior to the primary surgical re-pair of the lip and nose. Preliminary impression was done at the first appointment using custom tray and elastomeric material. At 2 weeks after birth, a conventional molding plate was fabricated on the maxillary cast. After the NAM was finished, try in was performed on the patient's mouth and adjustment were done to it edges. It is concluded that NAM allows an overall improvement in functional activity thus increasing infant’s weight prior to surgery, also correct the aesthetics of the nasolabial complex in bilateral cleft conditions while minimizing the extent of the sur-gery and the overall number of surgical procedures.

Abstract

One type of denture cleaning is effervescent tablet. Brown algae effervescent granules (Sargassum sp) have been demonstrated as denture cleansers but it has not been proven whether these materials affect the surface roughness of acrylic resins. This research analyzes the effect of effervescent Sargassum sp and alkaline peroxide as a soak-ing agent on the surface roughness of acrylic resin plates. This laboratory experimental study with 27 samples of acrylic resin plates divided into three groups; A was immersed in effervescent granules, B was immersed in alka-line peroxide, and C was immersed in aquadest. Immersion was carried out for 15 minutes per day and lasted for 4 consecutive days; everyday each solution was replaced with a new one. Measurement of surface roughness and hardness of samples using Confocal Laser Scan Microscopy. Wilcoxon's test on the alkaline peroxide group showed a p-value of 0.008 (p<0.05) indicating a significant difference in surface roughness values ​​before and after immer-sion. Paired t-test in the algae and aquadest groups showed p>0.05 which means that there is no significant diffe-rence in surface roughness values ​​before and after immersion. It was concluded that Sargassum sp effervescent granule solution does not affect the surface roughness of the acrylic plate.
