Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood pressure, often accompanied by symptoms such as headaches, epistaxis, and palpitations. Coated tongue is a clinical condition in which the tongue's surface develops a pseudomembrane due to accumulated debris, non-desquamated keratin cells, and microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi.  This study aims to explore the potential relationship between hypertension and coated tongue, emphasizing the importance of oral hygiene in hypertensive patients. By examining a clinical case, the research highlights the role of tongue cleaning in managing coated tongue and improving oral health. Additionally, it underscores the need for patient education and adherence to proper oral hygiene practices to achieve better treatment outcomes.Case Report: A 49-year-old female patient presented to Sartika Asih Bhayangkara Hospital with complaints of persistent bad breath for one month. She reported white spots on her tongue causing discomfort but no pain. The patient reported brushing her teeth one to two times daily but had never cleaned her tongue. She had a history of hypertension and was one amlodipine therapy.Conclusion: Coated tongue in hypertensive patients can be managed through regular tongue cleaning after brushing. Effective communication, education, and patient cooperation are crucial for optimal treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Fissured tongue is a normal variation of the tongue in which the surface of the dorsum of the tongue has fissures, with varying depths. This condition is commonly found in patients with Down's syndrome. The patient comes with complaints of increasing tongue sensitivity to spicy and sour tastes. In general, patients do not feel any complaints or pain if the fissures are not too deep but there is a risk of food ingesting in these cracks. Fissured tongue will become a pathological condition if the depth reaches >5mm, causing the patient to seek treatment. The purpose of this case report is to provide an overview of patients who have Down's syndrome accompanied by fissured tongue. The patient in this case report was not given any medication and was only given oral health education and oral hygiene instructions both directly and to the patient's guardian.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Malocclusion is a dental and oral health problem that adolescents often experience. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malocclusion is the third most common dental health problem after dental caries and periodontal disease. Malocclusion can cause several problems related to the face, including impaired facial aesthetics and dental issues such as difficulty moving the jaw, temporomandibular disorders, and problems with mastication, swallowing, and speaking. Malocclusion can appear in various forms, the most common being anterior teeth crowding, a condition reported by many patients seeking orthodontic treatment. Removable orthodontic appliances are a safe, easy, and aesthetically acceptable treatment alternative for mild crowding cases. This case report discusses the management of orthodontic treatment in the late mixed dentition period in a male patient with class I type I and type III malocclusion using a removable orthodontic appliance. A 13-year-old male patient came to RSGM Maranatha with complaints of crooked and crowded upper and lower front teeth, which made him insecure when smiling. The patient had never used a fixed or removable orthodontic appliance before. The patient reported no problems with chewing or speaking. There have been changes in the arrangement of the patient's maxillary teeth, but the resulting changes in the mandibular teeth have not been significant. Keywords: Class I Malocclusion, Anterior Crowding, Anterior Crossbite
