Abstract

Introduction: Digital smile design (DSD) is revolutionizing esthetic dentistry by offering a patient-centric approach to treatment planning and execution. This study aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction and long-term outcomes of DSD in a cohort of patients in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 75 patients who underwent DSD-guided esthetic treatments between 2020 and 2023 at a private dental clinic in Jakarta. Patient satisfaction was assessed using a validated questionnaire, and long-term outcomes (functionality, stability, and esthetics) were evaluated through clinical examinations and photographic records at 6, 12, and 24 months post-treatment. Results: High levels of patient satisfaction were reported across all treatment aspects, including communication, predictability, and esthetic outcomes. The majority of patients (92%) expressed satisfaction with their smiles' appearance, and 88% reported improved self-confidence. Clinical evaluations demonstrated excellent long-term stability and functionality of the restorations. Minor complications, such as chipping of veneer material, were observed in 5% of patients. Conclusion: DSD significantly enhances patient satisfaction and achieves predictable long-term outcomes in esthetic dentistry. This technology empowers patients to actively participate in their treatment journey, leading to increased satisfaction and improved self-perception.

Abstract

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and sleep disturbance form a vicious cycle, accelerating neurodegeneration. Cordyceps militaris (CM), a traditional medicinal fungus rich in nucleosides, possesses potent neuroprotective and adenosinergic (sleep-promoting) properties. We investigated the efficacy of a standardized CM extract on this cognition-sleep nexus in adults with SCD. This 12-week, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial was conducted in Palembang, Indonesia. We randomized 120 adults (aged 45-65) with SCD to receive 300 mg/day of a standardized CM mycelial extract (3% cordycepin) or a matching placebo. The primary outcome was the change from baseline in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Indonesian (MoCA-INA) score. Key secondary outcomes (Bonferroni-corrected) were the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) Delayed Recall, and polysomnography (PSG)-derived Sleep Efficiency (SE). Analyses were performed on the Intention-to-Treat (ITT) population (N=120) using a Linear Mixed-Effects Model (LMM). The LMM analysis revealed a significant group-by-time interaction for the primary outcome, MoCA-INA (Adjusted Mean Difference [AMD]: +1.95 [95% CI: 1.10, 2.80], p < 0.001). The CM group also showed significant improvements in all three key secondary outcomes: PSQI (AMD: -2.90 [95% CI: -3.81, -1.99], p < 0.001), RAVLT Delayed Recall (AMD: +2.15 [95% CI: 1.30, 3.00], p < 0.001), and Sleep Efficiency (AMD: +5.8% [95% CI: 3.1, 8.5], p < 0.001). After FDR correction, significant benefits were also seen for processing speed, %REM sleep, and serum BDNF and hs-CRP. The intervention was well-tolerated. In conclusion, twelve weeks of supplementation with a standardized C. militaris extract significantly improved cognitive function, episodic memory, and both subjective and objective sleep in adults with SCD. These benefits were associated with enhanced neuroplasticity and reduced systemic inflammation, supporting its potential as a multi-target, disease-modifying intervention for this at-risk population.

Abstract

Introduction: In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), maternal mental health significantly impacts early childhood development (ECD). West Java, Indonesia, presents a unique cultural context where extended family involvement is ubiquitous. This study aims to elucidate the mechanism linking maternal depressive symptoms to early childhood developmental delays, focusing on the mediating role of parenting stress and the moderating role of social support from extended family. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in five regencies of West Java (N = 842 mother-child dyads). Children were aged 12–36 months. We utilized the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) for depressive symptoms, the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) for stress, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) adapted for extended family, and the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3) for developmental monitoring. A moderated mediation model (Hayes Model 7) was tested using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with 5,000 bootstrap samples. Results: High maternal depressive symptoms were significantly associated with lower ECD scores (β = -0.42, p < 0.001). Parenting stress partially mediated this relationship (Indirect Effect = -0.18, 95% CI [-0.24, -0.13]). Crucially, extended family support moderated the path between depression and parenting stress (β = -0.15, p < 0.01). Specifically, the impact of depression on parenting stress was significantly dampened in households with high extended family engagement compared to those with low support. Conclusion: Parenting stress is a critical pathway through which maternal depression compromises child development. However, the collectivist family structure in West Java serves as a protective buffer. Interventions should target not only the mother but also mobilize the extended family network as a resource for 'kalyana mitra' (supportive friends/family).
