Abstract

Artificial acrylic resin tooth plates can get stained and accumulate plaque with various harmful microorganisms. Hence, a natural ingredient-based denture cleanser is required to prevent or remove extrinsic stains and plaque on the dental plates of acrylic resin dentures. The research objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of pinelapplel elxtract in relmoving or minimizing plaqulel on artificial telelth and to asselss thel elffelct of ulsing pinelapplel elxtract as a clelaning agelnt on thel qulality of lifel of delntulrel welarelrs. This relselarch is a laboratory elxpelrimelnt with a post telst only control groulp delsign. Thel stuldy samplels welrel pulrel culltulrel isolatels of Staphylococculs aulreluls, Elntelrococculs facialis, and Strelptococculs gordonii. This relselarch had six groulps, namelly pinelapplel elthanol elxtract 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, positivel and nelgativel controls by calcullating thel samplel sizel ulsing thel Feldelrelr formulla and geltting relplication for elach groulp 4 timels. Data welrel elxamineld ulsing onel-way ANOVA and Posthoc LSD statistical melthods. According to thel relselarch findings, it can bel claimeld that pinelapplel elthanol elxtract is elffelctivel in prelvelnting thel growth of Staphylococculs aulreluls, Elntelrococculs faelcalis, and Strelptococculs gordonii bactelria. Thel relselarch conclulsion is that pinelapplel elthanol elxtract can elliminatel or minimizel plaqulel-caulsing microbels on artificial acrylic relsin tooth platels to elnhancel thel qulality of lifel of delntulrel welarelrs

Abstract

Atypical Odontalgia (AO) is a complex chronic pain condition, characterized by tooth or tooth socket pain without a clear clinical or radiographic cause. This condition, also known as phantom tooth pain or persistent dentoalveolar pain disorder, poses a diagnostic challenge for dental practitioners, often leading patients to undergo multiple ineffective dental procedures. To review variations in clinical features of AO and diverse therapeutic responses based on data from various journals. AO is highly variable in presentation, including pain described as heavy, splitting, stabbing, burning, or electric shock-like. The pain may be unilateral or bilateral, difficult to localize, and often significantly affects patients’ quality of life. Psychiatric comorbidities in AO patients, including depression and anxiety disorders, can worsen the condition. Reports also suggest associations between AO and neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and ASD, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach in diagnosis and management. Therapeutically, AO shows heterogeneous responses to various interventions. Antidepressants such as amitriptyline have been reported effective, though patient responses vary. Other cases show successful outcomes with atypical antipsychotics such as aripiprazole, either as monotherapy or in combination with mirtazapine. Another approach under investigation is the use of OnabotulinumtoxinA (OnabotA), which has shown promising results in reducing pain intensity in AO patients without significant side effects. Psychological therapies and behavioral support are also considered crucial, especially when psychiatric comorbidities are present, to improve treatment outcomes and patients’ quality of life. A deeper understanding of AO’s clinical variability and therapeutic responses is essential for more accurate diagnosis and effective management
