Abstract

Abstract: Ideal tooth extraction is removal of complete tooth structure from the alveolar bone with minimal trauma and without causing any pain. It leaves a wound in the form of an open tooth socket. Efforts to reduce the problem of wound healing can be done inter alia by forming new tissue engineering that replaces the damaged tissue with collagen which is easily absorbed biologically and has good biocompatibility. One of the wound covering materials containing collagen is resorbable collagen plug (RCP). It serves to accelerate wound healing, control bleeding due to its intrinsic hemostatic property, and accelerate the wound healing process. This was a literature review study using databases namely PubMed, Embase, Wiley Online Library, and National Center for Biotechnology. The keywords were tooth extraction, wound healing, collagen, and resorbable collagen plug. The results showed that the RCP could accelerate wound healing because it contained collagen which had the ability to stabilize blood clotting and to protect wounds. In conclusion, the use of resorbable collagen plug can accelerate wound healing after tooth extraction due to its collagen content.Keywords:  dental extraction; wound healing process; resorbable collagen plug (RCP) Abstrak: Pencabutan gigi ideal adalah pengangkatan struktur gigi secara utuh dari tulang alveolar tanpa menimbulkan rasa sakit dengan trauma minimal. Tindakan pencabutan meninggalkan luka berupa soket gigi terbuka. Tujuan penyembuhan luka yaitu memperbaiki kerusakan jaringan dan fungsi organ. Upaya untuk mengurangi masalah penyembuhan luka dapat dilakukan, salah satunya dengan membentuk rekayasa jaringan baru yang menggantikan jaringan rusak yaitu dengan kolagen. Kolagen merupakan protein yang memiliki sifat mudah diserap secara biologis serta memiliki biokompatibilitas yang baik. Salah satu bahan penutup luka yang mengandung kolagen ialah resorbable collagen plug (RCP) yang berfungsi membantu mempercepat penyembuhan luka, mengontrol pendarahan oleh karena sifat hemostatik instrinsik, dan mempercepat proses penyembuhan luka. Penelitian ini merupakan suatu literatur review menggunakan database dari PubMed, Embase, Wiley Online Library, dan National Center for Biotechnology dengan kata kunci yang meliputi pencabutan gigi, penyembuhan luka, kolagen, Resorbable Collagen Plug. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa RCP dapat membantu mempercepat penyembuhan luka karena mengandung kolagen yang memiliki kemampuan untuk menstabilkan pembekuan darah dan dapat melindungi luka. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah penggunaan resorbable collagen plug dapat membantu mempercepat penyembuhan luka setelah pencabutan gigi oleh karena adanya kandungan kolagen.Kata kunci: pencabutan gigi; penyembuhan luka; resorbable collagen plug (RCP)

Abstract

Abstract: Full dental prosthesis rehabilitation on flat mandibular ridge has been a difficult case for clinicians for a long time. A huge resorption of mandibular ridge results in inadequate retention, and tounge muscle pressure, as well as lip and cheek muscles, causing a decrease in denture’s stability and retention. Neutral zone is a potential area or position where lips and cheek on one side, and tounge on the other side have balance pressure. We reported a 60-year-old male patient with chief complaints of difficulty in mastication, and loose upper and lower dentures. He also complained of denture moving during swallowing and speaking. In case management, the aim was to acquire optimum stability of the denture and arrangement of the mandibular teeth in full dental prosthesis guided by using the neutral zone. Preliminary impression was done by using alginate, then, horizontal and vertical jaw relation was recorded by using bite rim. Suction method impression technique was used to acquire functional impression. Lower denture teeth arrangement adapted the result of neutral zone impression. Acrylic denture was being contoured to adjust the natural anatomy of the oral cavity. In conclusion, the patient got a new full denture with maximum retention and stability while speaking as well as masticating. This article discussed about making of full dental prosthesis with pressure point on neutral zone impression technique on flat mandibular ridge caused by huge resorption.Keywords: flat mandibular ridge; denture stability; neutral zone; impression technique

Abstract

Abstract: Oral biofilm containing microorganisms is responsible for various oral infections and inflammatory diseases. Bioactive compounds found in rambutan peel extracts (Nephelium lappaceum L)  has antibacterial properties. Nanoparticle sizes were known to have the greater capability as an a antimicrobial. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of rambutan peel extracts (RPEs) in micro-particles with nanoparticles against oral bacteria, i.e. Streptococcus mutans and Staphylococcus aureus. This was a laboratory experimental study with a post-test-only design conducted by using RPEs in microparticles (62.5 mg/mL and 250 mg/mL) and nanoparticles (26.5 mg/mL). The particle sizes were measured; the active compound screening was carried out with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS); and the antibacterial activities were tested with the disc diffusion method. The particle size distribution for RPEs with microparticles was measured at 2489 nm, whereas the nanoparticle at 7.491 nm. The GC-MS results demonstrated that both microparticles and nanoparticle RPEs contained oleic acid, hexadecanoic acid, and decanoic acid. A higher percentage of oleic acid was found in nanoparticles of RPEs. There was a significant difference between microparticles of RPEs of 62.5 mg/mL (12.83±1.532) and nanoparticles (16.25±1.529). This study demonstrated that inhibitory power increased along with the elevation of RPEs’ concentration as the number of chemi-cal components intensified. The ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey HSD test showed significant differences in the effectiveness of RPEs in nanoparticles groups compared to microparticles 62.5 mg/ml against S. mutans (p<0.05). and  S. aureus (p<0.05). In conclusion,  RPEs were more effective in inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus than Streptococcus mutans.Keywords: nanoparticles; rambutan peels; Nephelium lappaceum L; antibacterial activity; Streptococcus mutans; Staphylococcus aureus
