Abstract

Every year, the fields of medicine and dentistry in Indonesia require more dental skills to provide excellent service and improve the quality of care. Oral health in children often shows suboptimal conditions, with a lot of plaque and other deposits on their teeth. According to the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI), half of the population over 3 years old complains about dental problems, with South Sulawesi having the second-highest rate at 68.4%. Of the 56.9% of people experiencing dental problems, only 11.2% visit a dentist. Between the ages of 8 and 12, dental changes require more intensive care, with a child’s motivation and support from their environment influencing their oral hygiene. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the frequency of dental visits and the oral health status of elementary school children in the working area of Mamajang Health Center, Makassar City. It was an analytical observational study with a sample of 120 elementary school students in the Mamajang Health Center area. Data were collected through questionnaires and intraoral examinations using the OHI-S index. Of the students, 69.2% had low dental visit frequency, and 31.7% had good oral hygiene status. No significant relationship was found between the frequency of dental visits and oral hygiene status (P-Value > 0.05). The frequency of dental visits does not significantly affect the oral hygiene status of elementary school students.

Abstract

Introduction: Bones are the primary structural components of the human body that have the ability to grow and develop. Loss of bone mass increases the risk of bone health disorders such as osteopenia and osteoporosis. One method for diagnosing osteoporosis is through panoramic radiography using radiometric measurements such as the Antegonial Index (AI). The measurement of the Antegonial Index can be conducted using the SmarTimu application. Objective: This study aimed to compare the Antegonial Index values between males and females. Methods: This research employed a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling, using panoramic radiographs from RSIGMP Universitas Muslim Indonesia that meet the inclusion criteria. Results: The right-side Antegonial Index in males was found to be 2.973, while the left-side index was 2.964. In females, the right-side Antegonial Index was 3.300, and the left-side index was 3.264. Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the Antegonial Index values between males and females based on panoramic radiography.

Abstract

Background: Root canal treatment is an effort to maintain the function and aesthetics of teeth. The smear layer is formed from the remains of instrumentation composed of organic and inorganic components. A smear layer in the tooth root canal will benefit the adhesion and colonization of microorganisms, block the action of disinfectant solutions, and prevent medicaments in the tooth root canal from penetrating the dentin tubules in the tooth root canal walls. Irrigation can be used for cleaning and disinfection in areas of the root canal that cannot be reached using instruments. Starfruit contains alkoloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, phenols, and triterpenoids. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of star fruit extract (Averrhoa bilimbi L) as a smear layer cleaning agent. Materials and Methods: This researcher used laboratory or experimental testing called Post Test Only Control Design. Samples were taken using the purposive sampling technique involving four treatments and six repetitions. The statistical test used is the Mann-Whiteney test. Results: Based on the Mann-Whiteney test, the test results obtained a p-value of 0.093 which is more significant than 0.05 (p-value 0.05). The results showed no significant difference between the 17% EDTA and 35% extract treatment groups regarding smear layer cleanliness. The 35% extract group is as good as the 17% EDTA group. Conclusion: star fruit extract (Averrhoa bilimbi L) is 35% effective in cleaning the smear layer.
