Abstract

To determine the description and prevalence of facial asymmetry and to determine the possible etiology of facial asymmetry in pre-clinical students of the Faculty of Dentistry, Hasanuddin University. This descriptive observational study, sampling was done by stratified random sampling method by taking extraoral photographs and giving questionnaires to respondents. The results show-ed the prevalence of facial asymmetry in the preclinical students was 70.59%, mostly found in female (54.9%). The most com-mon type of asymmetry was zygomatic asymmetry, with the most likely etiology being factors during development. It is concluded that the prevalence of facial asymmetry is quite large in a community or region with various types of asymmetry experienced which can be caused by several etiological factors.

Abstract

Oral regenerative therapy requires agents with antibacterial and osteogenic properties to address hard tissue damage caused by infection or trauma. Galam leaves (Melaleuca cajuputi), a plant native to Southeast Asia, are known to contain bioactive com-pounds such as flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, and saponins that support tissue healing. This article systematically reviews the potential of galam leaf extract as an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenic agent in oral regenerative therapy, based on literature evaluating the biological activity and safety of galam leaf extract, particularly against oral pathogenic bacteria and its ability to stimulate osteogenesis. Galam leaf extract has been proven to have antibacterial activity against S.mutans, Lactobacil-lus plantarum, and P.gingivalis. Its combination with tricalcium silicate cement increases the number of odontoblast-like cells and lymphocytes. Toxicity tests indicate that the extract is safe for topical use even at high concentrations. It is concluded that galam leaf extract is a candidate for the development of biomaterials in regenerative therapy due to its multifunctional and safe properties.
