Abstract

Heat-cured acrylic resin is the most common material used for denture bases; however, it has limitations such as susceptibility to fluid absorption and abrasion, which can increase surface roughness. This roughness has the potential to become a site for the colonisation of microorganisms such as Candida albicans. Sodium hypochlorite is frequently used as a denture disinfectant, but its corrosive properties can exacerbate surface roughness. Therefore, alternative natural materials such as pomegranate (both peel and pulp) extracts have become a focus of research. Aim: This study aimed to determine the comparative effects of immersion in 75% pomegranate peel extract and 75% pomegranate pulp extract versus sodium hypochlorite on the surface roughness of heat-cured acrylic resin. Method: This study employed a pre- and post-test control group experimental laboratory design, with three treatment groups of nine samples each. Acrylic resin samples were immersed for 7 days and 14.5 hours in the treatment solutions, and their surface roughness was measured using a surface roughness tester before and after immersion. Data analysis was performed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, One-Way ANOVA, and Post Hoc Tukey test. Results: This study found no significant difference between the treatment groups regarding the surface roughness of heat-cured acrylic resin (p = 0.718). However, only the sodium hypochlorite group showed a significant change in surface roughness before and after immersion (p = 0.003), whereas the pomegranate peel and pulp extract groups did not show significant changes (p = 0.099 and p = 0.065, respectively). Conclusion: 75% pomegranate peel and pulp extracts did not cause significant changes to the surface roughness of heat-cured acrylic resin and may represent safer natural alternatives to sodium hypochlorite as denture soaking solutions.

Abstract

Dental implants are a sophisticated solution for replacing missing teeth, providing better stability, comfort, and aesthetics than traditional alternatives. The procedure involves surgically implanting a titanium implant into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root for the tooth. However, implant placement also faces challenges such as inadequate jawbone conditions and the patient's general health factors. The surgical techniques used, such as flap surgery and computer guidance, affect the final outcome. The postoperative recovery process and osseointegration are crucial for the success of the implant. Complications such as peri-implantitis and implant rejection can occur if oral hygiene is not maintained and the patient's general health is compromised. The method of this study is to analyze the success of dental implant placement in elderly patients. This study presents a case report of a 69-year-old male patient who experienced tooth loss. The method involves collecting data through clinical and radiographic examinations to determine the patient's oral and alveolar bone health conditions before implant placement. The results of the analysis indicate that appropriate patient selection and attention to jawbone health greatly contribute to the success of implant placement. The study involved elderly patients who successfully underwent implant placement with good preparation and intensive monitoring. Recommendations for dental practice include good oral care, regular dental visits, and thorough evaluation before the procedure to minimize the risk of implant failure. ABSTRAKDental implant merupakan solusi canggih untuk menggantikan gigi yang hilang, memberikan stabilitas, kenyamanan, dan estetika yang lebih baik dibandingkan alternatif tradisional. Prosedur ini melibatkan pembedahan untuk menanamkan implan titanium ke dalam tulang rahang, berfungsi sebagai akar buatan gigi. Namun, pemasangan implan juga dihadapkan pada tantangan seperti kondisi tulang rahang yang tidak memadai dan faktor kesehatan umum pasien. Teknik bedah yang digunakan, seperti pembedahan flap dan panduan komputer, mempengaruhi hasil akhir. Proses pemulihan pascaoperasi dan osseointegrasi sangat krusial untuk keberhasilan implan. Komplikasi seperti peri-implantitis dan penolakan implan dapat terjadi jika kebersihan mulut tidak terjaga dan kesehatan umum pasien terganggu. Metode penelitian ini untuk menganalisis keberhasilan pemasangan implan gigi pada pasien lansia. Penelitian ini menyajikan laporan kasus seorang pasien pria berusia 69 tahun yang mengalami kehilangan gigi. Metode ini melibatkan pengumpulan data melalui pemeriksaan klinis dan radiografi untuk menentukan kondisi kesehatan mulut dan tulang alveolar pasien sebelum pemasangan implan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa pemilihan pasien yang tepat dan perhatian terhadap kesehatan tulang rahang sangat berkontribusi pada keberhasilan pemasangan implan. Penelitian melibatkan pasien lansia yang berhasil menjalani pemasangan implan dengan persiapan yang baik dan pemantauan yang intensif. Rekomendasi untuk praktik kedokteran gigi meliputi perawatan mulut yang baik, kunjungan rutin ke dokter gigi, serta evaluasi menyeluruh sebelum prosedur untuk meminimalkan risiko kegagalan implan.
