Abstract

Latar Belakang: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) merupakan gangguan pada sendi temporomandibula (STM) ditandai rasa sakit pada otot pengunyahan dan STM; bunyi ‘klik’ pada STM; dan adanya defleksi, deviasi serta keterbatasan membuka mulut. TMD banyak dijumpai pada usia dewasa dengan rentang 20-40 tahun termasuk pada mahasiswa.  Gejala yang disebabkan TMD dapat berdampak negatif pada kualitas hidup dan kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan rongga mulut. Oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) merupakan konstruksi multidimensi yang mencerminkan kesehatan mulut seseorang; fisik, psikologis dan kesejahteraan sosial; harapan dan kepuasan perawatan; dan harga diri. Tujuan: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan TMD terhadap OHRQoL pada mahasiswa preklinik FKG ULM. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada 37 mahasiswa FKG ULM Angkatan 2019-2022 yang berusia 18 tahun ke atas dengan teknik pengambilan sampel stratified random sampling dengan kriteria inklusi dan kriteria eksklusi. Pemeriksaan TMD menggunakan metode diagnosis RDC/TMD sedangkan pemeriksaan OHRQoL menggunakan kuesioner OHIP-14. Data hasil penelitian terkait TMD dan OHRQoL dianalisis dengan uji spearman. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa TMD dialami oleh 51,4% responden dengan gejala yang paling banyak dialami adalah nyeri miofasial (57,9%) dengan tingkat OHRQoL yang  terbanyak adalah baik (81%). Hasil uji korelatif spearman menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara TMD terhadap OHRQoL pada mahasiswa preklinik Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Lambung Mangkurat (ρ < 0,05).

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Papuyu fish is widely consumed by Kalimantan people. Papuyu fish scales chitosan has antibacterial potential because it contains amino polysaccharides and enzyme lysozyme which inhibits the growth of root canal bacteria, specifically Enterococcus faecalis. Purpose: The purpose of this experimental is to analyze the antibacterial activity of papuyu fish (Anabas testudineus) scales chitosan against Enterococcus faecalis. Methods: This is a true experimental study with post-test only with a control group design using 15 samples of papuyu fish (Anabas testudineus) scales chitosan grouped into 5 treatment groups and 3 samples repetitions. The treatment groups consisted of papuyu fish (Anabas testudineus) scales chitosan concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, and distilled water (negative control). Absorbance calculation using a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer 722 for minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and Enterococcus faecalis colonies are visualized with a colony counter for minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). Results: The MIC value of papuyu fish (Anabas testudineus) scales chitosan were obtained at 25% concentration and the MBC value were obtained at 100% concentration. The results of One-Way ANOVA test for MIC and Kruskal Wallis for MBC of papuyu fish scales chitosan concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% obtained significant results of p<0,05 and showed a significant difference between treatments. Conclusion: These are differences in the effectiveness of MIC and MBC papuyu fish (Anabas testudineus) scales chitosan concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% and distilled water. Papuyu fish scales chitosan 100% concentration is the most effective concentration as an antibacterial against the growth of Enterococcus faecalis.

Abstract

Background: Knowledge is the basis for the formation of behavior. Limited access to information for inmates causes their knowledge of dental and oral health to decrease. The 2022 Annual Report of the Directorate General of Corrections recorded that 6,312 people were diagnosed with dental disease and were included in one of the five diseases that are often experienced by prisoners. Dental and oral diseases have a high ranking suffered by inmates, which is one of the indicators that the dental and oral hygiene of prisoners is not maintained. Objective: This study aims to know the relationship between oral health maintenance knowledge and oral hygiene in class IIA Banjarmasin prison inmates. Method: This study uses an observational analytical method with a cross sectional research design. The measurement of knowledge variables used a dental and oral health maintenance knowledge questionnaire, while the measurement of dental and oral hygiene used the Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHI-S). Result: The results of the somers'D test produced data with a significance value of 0.001 (ρ<0.05). The correlation coefficient value in the study was obtained at -0.463, indicating the relationship between the two moderate and negative variables, so that it has a reciprocal relationship. Conclusion: There is a relationship between oral health maintenance knowledge and oral hygiene among inmates (WBP) in class IIA Prison Banjarmasin  Keyword: knowledge, oral hygiene, inmates.

Abstract

Background: In dental and oral health, malocclusion is an occlusal disorder that affects appearance and psychological well-being, especially among adolescents. There are two categories of contributing factors to malocclusion: general and local factors. Local factors directly impact the condition of the teeth, while general factors do not have a direct effect. Objective: Analyzing the congruence between adolescents' perceptions of orthodontic treatment needs using IKPO and their actual dental conditions measured by ICON. Methods: In this study, 175 randomly selected high school (or equivalent) students from non-urban areas of Banjarmasin were observed using a cross-sectional methodology. Results: The findings of this study indicate that the majority of participants fell into the category of requiring orthodontic treatment based on both IKPO and ICON. Cohen’s Kappa analysis showed a fair level of agreement between IKPO and ICON, with a value of 0.238. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there is a fair level of agreement between adolescents’ perceptions of the need for orthodontic treatment and their actual dental conditions. ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Pada kondisi kesehatan gigi dan mulut, maloklusi merupakan kelainan oklusi yang mempengaruhi penampilan dan kesejahteraan psikologis, terutama pada remaja.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: In South Kalimantan, the prevalence of oral health problems is 56.83% among those aged 15-18 years. The prevalence of malocclusion is quite high at 12%. One of the factors causing malocclusion is the imbalance in the size of the upper and lower teeth, which can be assessed using Bolton's analysis. The severity of malocclusion varies between individuals and can be measured using ICON. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between the balance of the size of the upper and lower arch teeth and the severity of malocclusion in high school students in non-urban areas of Banjarmasin. Methods: An observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 175 adolescents aged 15-18 years. Bolton's analysis was used to measure the balance of the size of the upper and lower arch teeth, and the ICON index was used to assess the severity of malocclusion. Results: The results show a weak relationship and a negative value, the higher the balance of the anterior tooth size ratio, the lower the severity of the malocclusion, and the results of the correlation test show a very weak relationship and a negative value, the higher the balance of the overall tooth size ratio, the lower the severity of the malocclusion. Conclusion: The balance of tooth size, anterior tooth ratio and overall ratio based on Bolton analysis in high school students/equivalent in Banjarmasin non-urban areas is mostly unbalanced and the severity of malocclusion based on the ICON index has the highest frequency, namely in the low category.Keywords: Banjarmasin Non-Urban Areas, Bolton Analysis, High school students, ICON, Malocclusion ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Masalah kesehatan gigi dan mulut di Kalimantan Selatan memiliki prevalensi sebesar 56,83% pada usia 15-18 tahun. Masalah maloklusi cukup tinggi sebesar 12%. Salah satu faktor penyebab maloklusi adalah ketidakseimbangan ukuran gigi atas dan bawah, yang dapat dinilai menggunakan analisis Bolton. Tingkat keparahan maloklusi bervariasi antar individu dan dapat diukur dengan menggunakan ICON. Tujuan: Menganalisis hubungan antara keseimbangan ukuran gigi lengkung atas dan bawah dengan tingkat keparahan maloklusi pada siswa SMA di wilayah non perkotaan Banjarmasin. Metode: Penelitian ini bersifat observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 175 remaja usia 15-18 tahun. Analisis Bolton digunakan untuk mengukur keseimbangan ukuran gigi lengkung atas dan bawah dan indeks ICON digunakan untuk menilai tingkat keparahan maloklusi. Hasil: Hasil uji korelasi terdapat hubungan yang lemah dan bernilai negatif, semakin tinggi keseimbangan ukuran gigi rasio anterior maka semakin rendah tingkat keparahan maloklusi, dan hasil uji korelasi terdapat hubungan yang sangat lemah dan bernilai negatif, semakin tinggi keseimbangan ukuran gigi rasio keseluruhan maka semakin rendah tingkat keparahan maloklusi. Kesimpulan: Keseimbangan ukuran gigi rasio gigi anterior dan rasio keseluruhan berdasarkan analisis Bolton pada siswa SMA/sederajat di Banjarmasin kawasan non perkotaan sebagian besar tidak seimbang dan tingkat keparahan maloklusi berdasarkan indeks ICON mempunyai frekuensi tertinggi yaitu pada kategori rendah. Kata kunci: Analisis Bolton, Banjarmasin Kawasan Non Perkotaan, ICON, Maloklusi, Pelajar SMA

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Malocclusion is a multifactorial problem that occurs due to general and local factors. Teeth crowding is one of the characteristics of malocclusion that often occurs in adolescents. Appearance is important for teenagers to increase self-confidence. Part of the appearance that results from the teeth and mouth is a smile. The need for orthodontic treatment can be measured using the Index of Complexity, Outcome, and Need (ICON) which calculates the complexity, success, and necessity of orthodontic care. Purpose: To find out an overview of the severity of dental malocclusion in adolescents aged 15-18 years in Banjarmasin based on the ICON (Review of high school students in North Banjarmasin and Central Banjarmasin District). Methods: This was a descriptive analytics study with a cross sectional design. Sampling techniques using random sampling in teenagers aged 15-18 years as many as 356 respondents. Malocclusion severity data was obtained through ICON measurement. Results: The results of this study were the highest level of malocclusion complexity in the mild category by 147 respondents, the most aeshthetic component is in category no treatment need (159 respondents), cross-bite is in category 0 (205 respondents, crowding teeth is in category 1 (101 respondents), diastema teeth is in category 3 (18 respondents), open bite is in category 0 (106 respondents), and the antero-posterior tooth relationship is in category 0 (216 respondents). Conclusion: The degree of complexity of dental malocclusion in adolescents 15-18 years old in Banjarmasin were mostly found in the light category.Keyword: Orthodontic, Malocclusion, ICON ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Maloklusi adalah masalah multifaktorial yang terjadi karena faktor umum dan faktor lokal. Gigi berjejal adalah salah satu karakteristik dari maloklusi yang sering terjadi pada remaja. Penampilan merupakan hal yang penting bagi remaja untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan diri. Bagian dari penampilan yang dihasilkan dari gigi dan mulut adalah senyum. Kebutuhan akan perawatan orthodonti dapat diukur menggunakan Index of Complexity, Outcome, and Need (ICON) yang memperhitungankan kompleksitas, keberhasilan, dan kebutuhan dari perawatan orthodonti. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui gambaran tingkat keparahan maloklusi dental remaja usia 15-18 tahun di Banjarmasin berdasarkan indeks ICON (Tinjauan pada pelajar SLTA di Banjarmasin Utara dan Banjarmasin Tengah).

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Premature loss is a condition where deciduous teeth shed prematurely while replacement permanent teeth have not yet erupted. Premature loss of primary canines can be caused by caries, trauma, and systemic conditions. Maxillary canines are more prone to premature loss compared to mandibular canines. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of premature loss of primary canine teeth among children aged 8-10 years at SDN 2 Syamsudin Noor, Landasan Ulin, Banjarbaru City in 2023. Method: This research employed an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The study included 77 students aged 8-10 years from SDN 2 Syamsudin Noor, selected using simple random sampling. Inclusion criteria were students aged 8-10 years who were cooperative respondents, with parents or guardians signing informed consent, and students in the mixed dentition phase. Exclusion criteria were students absent or sick on the day of data collection, and parents or guardians who withdrew consent. Data were collected through observational examination and filling out an odontogram. The research data were analyzed descriptively. Results: 23% of respondents experienced premature loss of primary canines, with the majority being females (66.67%). The primary canine most commonly affected was tooth element 53 (44%), and premature loss typically occurred at age 10 (38.89%). Conclusion: The description of premature loss of primary canine teeth in students at SDN 2 Syamsudin Noor aged 8-10 years, the majority of which occur in girls, namely maxillary primary canine teeth because hormonal factors at puberty can influence behavior in maintaining dental and oral hygiene.Keywords: premature loss, children, primary canines. ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Prematur loss adalah kondisi dimana gigi desidui sudah tanggal sebelum waktunya sementara gigi permanen pengganti belum tumbuh. Prematur loss caninus sulung dapat disebabkan karena karies, trauma dan kondisi sistemik. Gigi caninus rahang atas sering mengalami tanggal prematur dibandingkan gigi caninus rahang bawah. Tujuan: Mengetahui gambaran tanggal prematur gigi caninus sulung pada anak usia 8-10 tahun di SDN 2 Syamsudin Noor Kecamatan Landasan Ulin Kota Banjarbaru pada tahun 2023. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional dengan rancangan cross sectional. Penelitian dilakukan pada siswa-siswi usia 8-10 tahun di SDN 2 Syamsudin Noor Kecamatan Landasan Ulin Kota Banjarbaru dengan teknik pengambilan sampel simple random sampling sebanyak 77 orang dengan kriteria inklusi yaitu siswa siswi berusia 8-10 tahun, kooperatif untuk menjadi responden, orang tua atau wali yang menandatangani infomed consent dan siswa siswi dalam periode gigi bercampur. Kriteria eksklusi yaitu siswa siswi yang tidak hadir atau sakit pada hari pengambilan data dan orang tua atau wali yang mengundurkan diri. Pemeriksaan dilakukan dengan observasi serta pengisian odontogram. Data hasil penelitian selanjutnya dijabarkan secara deskriptif. Hasil: Sebanyak 23% responden mengalami prematur loss caninus sulung dengan responden terbanyak adalah perempuan (66,67%) dan elemen gigi caninus sulung yang mengalami tanggal prematur terbanyak adalah gigi 53 (44%) serta tanggal prematur terbanyak pada usia 10 tahun (38,89%). Kesimpulan: Gambaran tanggal prematur gigi caninus sulung pada siswa/siswi SDN 2 Syamsudin Noor usia 8-10 tahun mayoritas terjadi pada perempuan yaitu pada gigi caninus sulung rahang atas. Hal ini karena faktor hormonal pubertas dapat memengaruhi perilaku dalam memelihara kebersihan gigi dan mulut. Kata kunci: Caninus Sulung, Anak-Anak, Premature Loss
