Abstract

General Background: The early loss of primary molars is a prevalent dental issue that can lead to significant occlusal disturbances, including space reduction and misalignment of permanent teeth. Specific Background: Submergence of the second permanent molar following premature exfoliation of primary molars exacerbates these issues, complicating the eruption pattern and dental arch integrity. Knowledge Gap: Despite existing treatment modalities, there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of specific appliances in managing severe submergence cases in pediatric patients. Aims: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the Gerber Space Regainer in restoring lost space and correcting the alignment of submerged second premolars in a pediatric patient. Results: A 10-year-old patient experiencing significant space loss due to premature exfoliation of tooth 85 was treated with a Gerber Space Regainer. Over a 7-week period, the appliance successfully regained 8 mm of space, with notable uprighting of the affected premolar, achieving complete recovery of the dental arch. Novelty: This case report highlights the practical application and success of the Gerber Space Regainer, emphasizing its efficiency in a short time frame, which has not been extensively documented in similar clinical scenarios. Implications: The findings suggest that the Gerber Space Regainer is an effective and reliable option for managing complex orthodontic cases involving submergence and space loss, contributing to the enhancement of treatment protocols in pediatric dentistry. Highlights: Effective space recovery: The Gerber Space Regainer successfully restored 8 mm of lost dental arch space in 7 weeks. Improved alignment: The treatment led to the uprighting of the submerged second premolar, ensuring proper occlusion. Pediatric applicability: The appliance demonstrated high efficiency and compliance in a young patient, showcasing its potential in pediatric cases.

Abstract

Orang tua, khususnya ibu, memiliki peran penting dalam membentuk kebiasaan menjaga kesehatan mulut pada anak-anak mereka dengan mengajarkan perilaku hidup sehat. Ibu memiliki tanggung jawab besar terhadap kesehatan gigi dan mulut anak, karena ibu adalah pengasuh utama sejak anak lahir. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan antara pengetahuan ibu tentang kesehatan gigi dan indeks karies pada anak-anak mereka. Metode yang digunakan adalah observasional analitik dengan desain cross-sectional untuk mengamati hubungan antara kesehatan mulut ibu dan anak berusia 2 hingga 5 tahun. Kelompok ibu-anak dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok kasus (populasi dengan karies) dan kelompok kontrol (populasi tanpa karies). Persetujuan informed consent diberikan sebagai tanda kesediaan untuk berpartisipasi dalam penelitian, yang meliputi komunikasi dan pertukaran informasi antara peneliti dan ibu sebagai responden. Indeks DMF-T digunakan untuk menilai status karies pada ibu, sedangkan indeks def-t digunakan untuk anak-anak. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan ibu tentang kesehatan gigi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kondisi kesehatan gigi anak. Tingginya angka def-t pada anak berkorelasi dengan tingginya angka DMF-T pada ibu. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengetahuan ibu tentang kesehatan gigi memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan kejadian karies pada diri mereka sendiri dan anak-anak mereka.

Abstract

A 15-year-old female patient presented with severe anterior crowding in both the maxillary and mandibular arches. The patient expressed concern regarding facial esthetics and a convex profile and had a history of retained root fragments in the mandibular right and left first molars, as well as persistence of primary teeth in the regions of teeth 55 and 65. A midline deviation was also observed. Clinical examination revealed a Class I molar relationship, while cephalometric analysis showed a skeletal Class II tendency. The upper right and left first premolars were extracted to relieve anterior crowding. The space resulting from the loss of the mandibular first molars was utilized to align the crowded lower teeth. This extraction strategy was employed to improve the vertical dimension and enhance the patient's facial profile. In conclusion, extraction of the maxillary first premolars can be considered as one of the treatment options for managing dental crowding. Extraction-based treatment may help achieve an esthetically pleasing and functionally stable occlusion. Highlights: Severe anterior crowding managed with upper first premolar extractions. Mandibular molar space utilized for alignment and vertical control. Extraction approach improved facial profile and occlusal stability.

Abstract

Dental caries is one of the most common health issues among young children, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the relationship between toothbrushing frequency and the prevalence of dental caries in children aged 3–5 years at TK Aisyiyah Kemantren Tulangan, Sidoarjo. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was used with a total of 38 child respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires given to parents, addressing children's toothbrushing habits and caries incidence. Results showed that 5-year-old children had a higher prevalence of caries (76.47%) compared to those aged 3 and 4. A total of 14 children (36.85%) experienced caries, while 24 children (63.15%) did not. Children who brushed their teeth twice a day had a lower caries prevalence (30%) than those who brushed once a day (70%). The study also highlighted the role of parental supervision in toothbrushing habits and its association with reduced caries incidence. Additionally, frequent consumption of sugary foods was identified as a contributing factor. In conclusion, a higher frequency of toothbrushing is associated with a lower prevalence of dental caries. Oral health education involving parents and a holistic approach to oral hygiene are crucial in preventing dental caries in children. Ongoing education programs at both school and home environments are necessary to promote proper oral hygiene behaviors from an early age. Highlights: Caries prevalence highest in 5-year-olds (76.47%). Twice-daily brushing linked to lower caries (30% vs 70%). Parental supervision and diet strongly influence caries risk.
