Abstract

Access to dental services is critical in determining public health status, yet significant disparities persist, especially in remote areas. This literature review explores the impact of limited access to dental care on public health. The review methodology involved analyzing recent studies addressing the various factors—economic, geographical, and social determinants—influencing access to dental services in different communities. The results indicate that individuals with restricted access to dental care are more prone to oral diseases, which can lead to a decline in overall health and quality of life. Furthermore, these communities often face higher treatment costs due to the need for more complex procedures when issues are untreated for extended periods. The findings highlight that limited access to dental services increases the burden on healthcare systems and exacerbates inequalities in health outcomes. In conclusion, improving access to dental services, particularly in underserved and rural areas, is essential to mitigate the negative effects of oral diseases, reduce healthcare costs, and improve public health outcomes in the long term. Addressing these disparities is crucial for promoting equitable health opportunities for all.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Masa kehamilan menyebabkan perubahan hormonal dan fisiologis yang dapat memengaruhi kebersihan rongga mulut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kebersihan mulut berdasarkan skor Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHIS) pada ibu hamil menurut trimester kehamilan. Metode: Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan sampel 16 ibu hamil. Pemeriksaan dilakukan untuk menentukan kategori OHIS yaitu baik (0,0–1,2), sedang (1,3–3,0), dan buruk (3,1–6,0). Hasil: Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pada kehamilan trimester kedua memiliki indeks kategori OHI-S terbanyak dengan interpretasi sedang sebanyak 4 (25%) dan perbandingan dengan trimester pertama dan ketiga masing-masing sebanyak 2 (12,5%) dan secara jumlah keseluruhan terlihat bahwa indeks OHI-S terbanyak ditemukan pada interpretasi sedang yaitu 8 (50%). Berdasarkan trimester, kecenderungan kebersihan mulut menurun seiring bertambahnya usia kehamilan. Trimester I menunjukkan proporsi kategori baik dan sedang yang seimbang, sedangkan pada trimester II dan III kategori sedang lebih dominan. Kesimpulan: Hasil ini menggambarkan bahwa sebagian besar ibu hamil memiliki kebersihan mulut yang belum optimal dan memerlukan peningkatan kesadaran akan pentingnya perawatan gigi selama kehamilan untuk mencegah gangguan periodontal serta komplikasi kehamilan.

Abstract

Pregnancy-related oral health conditions highlight the importance of maintaining dental care, as they can be detrimental to both mother and fetus. In Indonesia, there are considerable gaps in access to general and dental healthcare and there is a lack of reliable data on the oral health status and dental care provision for pregnant women. This study aimed to gain preliminary findings on the oral health status of a vulnerable sample of pregnant women through assessing decay, missing, and fillings (DMFT) at the Made community health centre. In order to secure the health of mothers and children data of this study might improving access to dental care for pregnant women needs to be a priority in relevant policies.

Abstract

Background: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is a congenital craniofacial anomaly that results in a complex set of functional and aesthetic challenges. Patients with CLP often present with skeletal discrepancies, dental malocclusion, and crossbite due to maxillary deficiency. Successful management requires a coordinated multidisciplinary approach involving surgical, orthodontic, and restorative interventions. Purpose: The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate the challenges of complex CLP-related malocclusion and the benefits of coordinated care among specialists to achieve optimal outcomes. Case(s): This case report presents a 14-year-old patient with a repaired unilateral CLP, exhibiting both anterior and posterior crossbite and maxillary constriction. Clinical and radiographic evaluation revealed maxillary retrusion, asymmetrical dental arch form, and compromised occlusion. The treatment plan involved an interdisciplinary team approach. Case Management: The orthodontic treatment was carried out in four phases, beginning with alignment and leveling using self-ligating braces and posterior bite raising, followed by space creation with open coil springs and correction of anterior crossbite using Class III elastics. Final detailing and retention ensured optimal occlusion, improved aesthetics, and long-term stability. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of a structured multidisciplinary approach in managing CLP patients with complex malocclusion. An integrated approach with orthodontic and other specialists is crucial to achieving functional occlusion, facial harmony, and long-term stability.
