Abstract

Background: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific condition marked by hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation, posing risks to both mother and fetus. Poor oral health, indicated by a high DMF-T (Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth) index, may contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Objective: To analyze the relationship between the DMF-T index and preeclampsia incidence in pregnant women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 81 pregnant women selected through simple random sampling from a population of 417 who received antenatal care at Wonoayu Health Center in 2023. Data from dental and maternity records were analyzed using chi-square tests (a < 0.05). Results: Among respondents, 4 preeclampsia cases were found in the good DMF-T category and 13 in the poor DMF-T category. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between DMF-T index and preeclampsia (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Poor dental health, as reflected by a high DMF-T index, is significantly associated with preeclampsia in pregnant women. Strengthening oral health care and further research on its role in pregnancy outcomes are recommended.

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. Keywords: Dental Crowding, Premolar Extraction, Skeletal Class II, Facial Esthetics, Orthodontic Treatment

Abstract

General Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common structural or functional abnormality of the heart and great vessels that increases the risk of infective endocarditis, especially in pediatric patients. Specific Background: Children with complex defects such as subaortic Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) accompanied by Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and pulmonary hypertension are particularly vulnerable to oral infections that can lead to systemic complications. Knowledge Gap: Despite the recognized link between oral health and CHD, comprehensive protocols for dental “mouth preparation” under general anesthesia to minimize bacteremia and endocarditis risk before cardiac surgery remain limited. Aims: This case report describes a multidisciplinary approach to full-mouth preparation in a 4.5-year-old boy with VSD subaortic, ASD, and severe pulmonary hypertension, focusing on infection elimination, anesthesia management, and prophylactic strategies. Results: Treatment included restorations with Glass Ionomer Cement for reversible pulpitis, multiple extractions of necrotic teeth under general anesthesia, preoperative laboratory and radiological screening, American Society of Anesthesiologists assessment, and antibiotic prophylaxis with intravenous ampicillin followed by oral amoxicillin. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with stable vital signs and satisfactory wound healing after one week. Novelty: This report highlights the integrated collaboration of pediatric dentistry, cardiology, and anesthesiology to ensure airway control, hemodynamic stability, and asepsis during extensive dental procedures in high-risk CHD patients. Implications: The findings underscore the importance of rigorous preoperative dental management and continuous preventive care—including parental education, low-sugar diet counseling, and regular dental visits—to reduce long-term risks of caries recurrence and infective endocarditis in children with congenital heart defects. Highlights: Comprehensive dental preparation prevents infective endocarditis risk. Multidisciplinary approach ensures safe anesthesia and hemodynamic stability. Ongoing preventive care reduces caries recurrence and systemic infection. Keywords: congenital heart disease, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, dental management, general anesthesia

Abstract

Background: The pathogenicity of Fusobacterium nucleatum is more acknowledged these days. In the oral cavity, this bacterium plays a massive role in caries formation and periodontal problems such as periodontitis. The use of plant extract as an antibacterial or antibiofilm agent has grown in favor recently. Plant-derived extracts are said to be less toxic and to have comparable efficacy as their predecessors. Purpose: The goal of this article review is to provide an overview of the different bioactive substances found in plant extracts that are effective against Fusobacterium nucleatum. Review: In total 10 journals that fit the inclusion and exclusion criteria were chosen, with a total of 14 different plant extracts reviewed. MIC of the various extracts was found, where extract of lemongrass, purple leaf, Eucalyptus galbie, mulberry, and mangosteen was found at various concentrations. Conclusion: Each bioactive compound found on plant extracts holds their own mechanism in order to provide antibacterial behavior.
