Abstract

The selection of the mesiodistal width of maxillary anterior teeth is the key to success in prosthodontic treatment. Determining anterior teeth width when there is no existing pre-extraction record can be done through bizygomatic width measurement. The purpose of this study was to look at the relationship between bizygomatic width and mesiodistal width of six maxillary anterior teeth in the Javanese population. This study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted on 32 Javanese subjects who met the following criteria: being 18-25 years of age, having Angle class 1 malocclusion, having complete maxillary anterior permanent teeth, not using dentures, currently not undergoing any orthodontic treatment, and having no abnormalities found in the facial area. The bizygomatic width was measured with a digital caliper with an accuracy of 0.01 mm from the marked right and left bizygomatic points. The mesiodistal width of the six maxillary anterior teeth was measured using dental floss looped from the distal left canine to the right canine. Dental floss marked with a pen was stretched horizontally on paper and then measured with a digital caliper with an accuracy of 0.01 mm. The measurement was done in triplicate. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation and the simple linear regression test. This study’s analysis revealed a strong and positive correlation (r = 0.538 and p < 0.05) between the bizygomatic width and mesiodistal width of the maxillary anterior teeth. The result of the simple linear regression test showed a significant result (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that there was a relationship between the bizygomatic width and the mesiodistal width of the six maxillary anterior teeth in the Javanese population. The mesiodistal width of the six maxillary anterior teeth in the Javanese population can be measured by multiplying the bizygomatic width by the multiplier factor, i.e., 0.427.

Abstract

The oral mucosa is a vital component of the human body, forming the moist lining of the oral cavity and acting as the first barrier against physical, chemical, and microbial insults. Oral mucosal injuries are among the most common conditions in dental practice and may result from mechanical trauma, infections, systemic diseases, or iatrogenic factors. In physically active individuals and athletes, the risk of orofacial injury is significantly higher due to repeated exposure to impact and mechanical stress. Borassus flabellifer, a tropical plant widely used in traditional medicine, has gained attention due to its rich phytochemical content, including flavonoids, polyphenols, and saponins. To evaluate the regenerative potential of Borassus flabellifer as a therapeutic agent for oral mucosal wound healing based on available scientific evidence. A structured literature search was conducted across PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using Boolean search strategies based on the PICO framework. Studies published between 2016 and 2026 were screened according to predefined inclusion criteria. Results: A total of 5 eligible studies were identified and included in this review. The findings consistently demonstrated that Borassus flabellifer exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which are key mechanisms in promoting wound healing. These studies reported enhanced tissue regeneration, reduced inflammation, and improved healing outcomes associated with its phytochemical constituents. Borassus flabellifer shows promising potential as a natural therapeutic agent for oral mucosal wound healing. Its bioactive compounds support its development as a topical treatment; however, further clinical studies are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety

Abstract

Edentulism is a condition of total tooth loss that has a significant impact on the efficiency of mastics, phonetics, and facial aesthetics. This case report presents the rehabilitation of a 72-year-old female patient with a condition of total mandible edentulus using two standard-diameter implants that support the overdenture with a locator retention system. Treatment procedures include clinical evaluation, radiographic analysis, implant placement, prosthesis placement, as well as follow-up evaluation to assess function and comfort. The results of the treatment showed an increase in patient retention, stability, and comfort in daily activities. In addition, patients reported improved confidence and quality of life after the use of implant-based overdentures. These findings confirm that overdenture with mandibular implant support is a predictive, effective, and reliable rehabilitation method in treating total edentulism. The success of this case provides clinical evidence that implant-based approaches are able to overcome the limitations of conventional prostheses, as well as being a solution that supports the functional and psychosocial aspects of elderly patients. Thus, implant-based overdenture can be recommended as the primary therapeutic option in the rehabilitation of mandibular edentulism.
