Abstract

Objective: Phthisis bulbi is an eye condition that happens when a wound heals slowly because of a severe eye injury, inflammation, or neoplasm. It is an end-stage eye disease that causes the eyeball and the contents inside the eye to shrink and become disorganized. Eye-related disfigurement can cause a lot of physical and emotional trouble. Instead of surgery like enucleation or evisceration, prosthetic rehabilitation of the remaining eyeball is the most effective treatment for the phthisis bulbi. Rehabilitation of these patients is challenging, and a multidisciplinary approach is needed to make an ocular prosthesis that works well.Methods: A 25-year-old male patient presented to the department of Prosthodontics at Hasanuddin University Dental Hospital with the chief complaint of vision loss in his left eye and an unattractive appearance due to a bulging white spot regressing eyeball. The patient previously used a contact lens but was satisfied with the results. The treatment plan involves the fabrication of a custom-made acrylic resin eye prosthesis. Custom ocular prostheses are created using impression techniques that provide retention benefits.Results: After twenty-four hours, one week, and six months after implantation, follow-up appointments revealed no inflammation and excellent adaptation of the ocular prosthesis. Conclusion: The custom-made ocular prosthesis presented in this case can be used to give the phthisis bulbi patient a more natural appearance. Using a custom ocular prosthesis with the proper size, color, and color can yield an acceptable aesthetic result

Abstract

It is necessary to evaluate the labial and palatal bone thickness of maxillary anterior teeth based on gender and age to provide in-formation for prosthodontic treatment planning. This study used an observational design with the Mann-Whitney U statistical test to compare the labial and palatal bone thickness of 6 maxillary anterior teeth between gender (male and female) and age (under and over 30 years old) groups. Measurements were taken at three labial and three palatal points using CBCT. The results showed significant differences in labial bone thickness at several measurement points, with men having significantly greater labial bone thickness than women (p<0.05). Differences in palatal bone thickness according to gender were only seen at one point but were not significant. Individuals under 30 years old showed greater labial and palatal bone thickness than those over 30 years old at certain points (p<0.05). It was concluded that gender affects labial bone thickness more significantly than palatal bone, while in-creasing age plays a role in decreasing bone thickness in both labial and palatal bones. This knowledge can be used for more effective prosthodontic treatment planning.

Abstract

Intrusion is the most common trauma in children. Management of intruded deciduous teeth includes spontaneous re-eruption or ex-traction. Pain management during extraction is performed with local anaesthesia, but this can cause fear and pain in patients. This case report describes the management of an intruded primary tooth using a computer-controlled local anaesthesia system (CCLAD). A 6-year-old boy presented with an intruded maxillary primary incisor following a fall from stairs the previous day. Clinical findings included swelling and ulceration of the lip and chin, haematoma, and gingival ulceration. Ellis Class IX fractures were no-ted in teeth 51, 61, and 62 with severe intrusion (grade III), slight mobility, and fusion of 61-62. Panoramic imaging revealed age-nesis of teeth 22. After one week of observation for spontaneous re-eruption, extraction of teeth 51, 61, and 62 was performed due to the risk to the permanent replacement teeth. Anaesthesia was administered using the P-ASA (palatal-alveolar superior anterior) technique with SleeperOne5 (CCLAD), improving patient comfort and reducing fear. Monitoring over 12 months showed no com-plications. It was concluded that SleeperOne5 as a CCLAD with the P-ASA anaesthesia approach is a useful alternative for ma-naging multiple impacted anterior deciduous teeth.

Abstract

Cobalt-chromium and titanium alloys are widely used as prosthetic frameworks due to their high strength, stiffness, corrosion iresistance, and passivation pro-perties. However, metal ions can potentially cause cytotoxicity, hypertension, and neoplasia. Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) is an alternative polymer mate-rial that has physical, mechanical, and chemical properties suitable for use as denture framework material due to its high strength, low modulus of elasticity, and reduced risk of problems caused by metal frameworks such as allergies and potential me-tallic taste. In complex cases, the treatment plan and mate-rials used for the denture are important to ensure predictability and long-term du-rability. This review evaluates PEKK as a suitable biomaterial for removable partial denture frameworks. It is concluded that PEKK material is an alternative material that can be used as a removable partial denture framework because it is a lightweight framework material, has good biocompatibility, and is easy to repair in case of bone resorption.

Abstract

The high prevalence of malocclusion has led to an increased demand for fixed orthodontic treatment. This phenomenon is exploited by non-professional practitioners, which risks harming patients if the choice of practitioner is inappropriate; therefore, it is necessary to determine the level of knowledge underlying decision-making, taking into account differences in environment and access to information between boarding and non-boarding secondary school students, by comparing the level of knowledge of boarding and non-boarding secondary school students in Makassar regarding the selection of fixed orthodontic treat-ment practitioners. Using a quantitative method and an analytical observational design via a cross-sectional study approach, 150 respondents (75 boarding stu-dents and 75 non-boarding students) were involved in Biringkanaya District, Makassar City. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analysed using an independent samples t-test, which showed that the mean knowledge level of non-boarding students (62.17) fell into the ‘adequate’ category, whilst that of boarding students (52.03) fell into the ‘inadequate’ category. Statistical analysis revealed a significant level of 0.000 (p<0.05), proving a significant difference in knowledge levels between the two groups. It was concluded that non-boarding students possess a higher level of knowledge regarding the selection of fixed orthodontic appliances.
