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

The increasing incidence of malocclusion in children, often caused by unnoticed bad habits like thumb sucking and mouth breathing, highlights the need for prevention. This community service activity aimed to provide Dental Health Education (DHE) at Muhammadiyah 1 Elementary School in Sidoarjo to 41 children aged 6–8 years (21 boys, 20 girls), along with their parents and teachers, emphasizing the importance of maintaining dental health and preventing malocclusion caused by harmful habits.The methods used in this community service activity include enhancing Dental Health Education (DHE) through counseling to eliminate bad oral habits and prevent malocclusion. Efforts involve empowering junior dental health cadres to conduct oral health checks at schools, increasing students' knowledge about the impact of bad oral habits, educating on prevention and cessation of these habits, and implementing strategies to prevent malocclusion. Evaluation was conducted through dental molds, facial profile photographs, and intraoral photographs. The expected outcomes of this activity include increased public awareness of bad habits and their impact on dental health, as well as the establishment of dental health cadres at schools to perform regular dental health checks. Additionally, this activity will result in the publication of scientific articles and educational videos to be disseminated via electronic media. This community service successfully enhanced public knowledge about the importance of avoiding bad habits to prevent malocclusion, while also providing a sustainable platform for dental health education through collaboration among the community, schools, and faculties in the future.

Abstract

Hormonal changes, number of pregnancies (gravida), gestational age, education level, and the presence of malocclusionespecially if accompanied by the use of bracescan increase the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis in pregnant women. This study aims to analyze the relationship between gravida, gestational age, and education level on the incidence of gingivitis in pregnant women with malocclusion. The study involved 51 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria and provided consent by signing an informed consent form. Interviews and oral screenings were conducted, and the data were analyzed using the Chi-squared test. The results of this study found that the number of pregnancies (gravida) had a significant relationship with the incidence of gingivitis (p = 0.024) and dental caries (p = 0.029). Gestational age showed a significant relationship with the incidence of periodontitis (p = 0.003) and dental caries (p = 0.020). Meanwhile, educational level did not show a significant relationship with gingivitis or periodontitis, but was significantly associated with dental caries (p = 0.050). It is concluded that there is a significant relationship between gravida, gestational and education level with dental caries in pregnant women with malocclusion. Gestational age is significantly associated with periodontitis, and gravida is significantly associated with gingivitis.

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.
