Abstract

Background: The application of orthodontic mechanical forces on maturing teeth can disrupt Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath (HERS) morphology and induce orthodontically induced inflamatory root resorption (OIIRR), characterized by apical bending and decreased cell proliferation, resulting in a shortened root with an open apex that necessitates apexification to stimulate calcified barrier formation in cases of necrotic pulps. Purpose: This case report aims to describe apexification case on tooth 22 with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). Case(s): A 27-year-old female patient presented to the Clinic of Conservative Dentistry, University Airlangga Dental Hospital, with a chief complaint of cavities in her upper front tooth so that the patient felt shy when smiling. That tooth felt uncomfortable when biting and she wanted to treat her tooth. Case Management: The root canal exploration revealed a gauging size of 50, confirming the presence of a wide apical foramen. This finding is consistent with the radiographic examination, which shows that tooth 22 with open apex. The treatment plan is endodontic treatment in the form of apexification using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) material. The obturation technique was performed using thermoplastic (backfill) and the fixed restoration using a fiber post with composite resin. Conclusion: In this clinical case, based on a gauging size of 50 and radiographic findings showing an open apical foramen, the patient was treated with apexification using MTA to create an apical plug, followed by a post insertion and a composite resin restoration.

Abstract

Dental and oral health problems, especially tooth decay, are diseases experienced by almost half of the world's population. Indonesia's most significant dental problems are damaged/cavities/painful teeth. One of the promotive efforts to maintain and improve the degree of dental and oral health in the community is through counseling. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and actions of students in maintaining dental and oral health through dental health education activities. The male and female students took a pre-test first to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding dental health maintenance. Conducted counseling and concluded with a post-test to determine whether there was an improvement in the knowledge, attitudes, and actions of the male and female students. The pre-test data shows that 45.1% of the students at IIBS Baitul Manshurin fall into the moderate category. The post-test results show an increase in the percentage of the good category, from 13.1% to 20.6%, and a decrease in the percentage of the bad category, from 41.7% to 26%. The outreach activities have a positive impact on the knowledge, attitudes, and actions of the students at IIBS Baitul Manshuri.
