Abstract

Abstract: Recently, the need for orthodontic treatment has increased along with the increasing need and public awareness of the importance of dental and oral health. During treatment, problems sometimes occur with periodontal tissue. Orthodontic devices that bond to the tooth surface can cause difficulties in controlling plaque, especially in marginal areas which can cause inflammation and gingival overgrowth. Too high tensile strength and weak tissue capacity are also the factors that can cause gingival overgrowth. This case report described the management of gingival growth in a patient under fixed orthodontic treatment. We reported an 18-year-old female patient with a good systemic condition that had gingival overgrowth localized on the anterior part of mandibula. The surgical intervention was performed by using conventional surgical methods. Its goal was to remove the gingival pocket, therefore, the plaque could be easily controlled. The use of a scalpel was considered very effective for eliminating excessive gingiva. Two weeks after surgical treatment, the gum resulted in good repair. The continuity of orthodontic treatment could be achieved properly after 3-month surgical treatment. Instructions and motivation to maintain oral hygiene were important to avoid recurrence. In addition, multidisciplinary dentistry between orthodontist and periodontist was needed to achieve a better result. Keywords: gingival overgrowth; gingivectomy; orthodontic appliance

Abstract: Dentist has a high risk of being infected of COVID-19. This study aimed to determine the practice modification efforts carried out by dentists in Badung regency in facing the COVID-19 pandemic. This study used a mixed method design with a sequential explanatory strategy. Quantitative research was conducted with a questionnaire that was arranged based on PB PDGI guidelines and has been tested for validity and reliability with 72 respondents. Qualitative research was conducted by doing in-depth interview with two informants who had filled out the questionnaire to find out the reasons for the choice of answers and the possibility of other practice modifications carried out. The results showed that modifications to patient management procedures have been carried out such as screening the patients, asking patients to wash their hands, limiting the distance in the waiting room, and measuring body temperature. Modifications to the transmission prevention management carried out by dentists such as the use of complete PPE, limiting the duration of contact with patients, asking patients to rinse their mouth with povidone iodine, and installing exhaust fans in the practice room. The modifications that are slightly carried out are delaying the elective treatment and the use of rubber dams. In conclusion, dentists in Badung regency have made 83% modifications to patient management procedures and 93% modifications to the transmission prevention management recommended by PDGI, while the use of rubber dam is the least modification effort done because dentists are not used to it.Keywords: COVID-19; dentist; practice modification  Abstrak: Dokter gigi merupakan profesi yang memiliki risiko tinggi tertular Coronavirus diseases (COVID-19).

Abstract: Cheilitis is an inflammation of the vermilion border of lips. Exfoliative cheilitis occurs on the upper and lower lips in the form of exfoliation of the keratinized surface’s lips, accompanied by redness and edema. We reported a 21-year-old female patient, a dental student, with a chief complaint of sores on the cracked lower and upper lips, and bleeding since two weeks ago. She was not sure when this condition started, but she had realized it for almost three years. The patient used to feel dry lips, therefore she licked and sucked her lips and then peeled the dry surface off. She did not drink enough water, did not like fruits and vegetables very well, and was allergic to certain lipsticks, so, she discontinued using it since one year ago. She treated her lips with lip balm, but it did not show any improvement. Extraoral examination showed that the lower lip was not covered by epithelia, there was a blackish red crust of 1 cm around the vermilion border mixed with exfoliating yellowish crust. Several fissures were seen on the upper and lower lips associated with erythema. This patient was diagnosed as exfoliative cheilitis and was managed with applying lip balm and triamcinolone acetonide 0.1%, twice a day that showed satisfying result. In conclusion, in managing exfoliative cheilitis, the causative factors have to be determined and controlled, and administration of topical steroid and moisturizer showed significant improvement.Keywords: exfoliative cheilitis; steroids Abstrak: Keilitis adalah adanya inflamasi pada vermilion border bibir.

Abstract

Abstract: Agenesis is commonly found in maxillary lateral incisors with a relative high preva-lence. We reported a case of agenesis of the lateral upper incisor associated with dental caries. A 20-year-old man came to Unjani Dental Hospital with a complaint of cavities in the left upper incisor. His only complaint was lack of confidence due to the dental caries; no complaint of pain. At the first visit, anamnesis and clinical examination were performed on him. Oral hygiene was good. Tooth 63 had moderate caries, vital, no mobility, and the percussion and pressure tests were negative. Radiography examination revealed agenesis of tooth 22. This case was confirmed as reversible pulpitis of tooth 63, associated with agenesis of tooth 22. First treatment was restoration of the labial surface of tooth 63 using restoration material with the same color (composite).  At the second visit a week after, the examination revealed positive vitality and no more complaint. The purposes of restorative treatment in this patient were to repair caries damage, protect and prevent further damage of the pulp and other tooth structures, reduce symptoms and pain, restore the tooth function, improve esthetics, support good oral hygiene, and maintain the tooth space and arch. In conclusion, primary teeth can be preserved as a substitute for agenesis teeth. Successfull treatment depends on the collaboration between the dentist and the patient.Keywords: agenesis; primary teeth; lateral incisivus lateral of maxilla Abstrak: Umumnya agenesis dijumpai pada gigi insisivus lateral rahang atas dengan prevalensi yang cukup tinggi.

Seorang laki-laki berusia 20 tahun datang ke Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut (RSGM) Unjani dengan keluhan adanya gigi berlubang pada gigi depan kiri atas. Pasien tidak mengeluhkan rasa nyeri, hanya merasa kurang percaya diri karena gigi tersebut tampak berlubang. Pada kunjungan pertama pasien dilakukan anamnesis dan pemeriksaan klinis. Didapatkan oral hygiene baik. Gigi 63 mengalami karies media, vital, tidak terdapat kegoyangan, serta tes perkusi dan tes tekan negatif. Pada hasil pemeriksaan radiografi tidak didapatkan adanya benih gigi 22. Diagnosis untuk kasus ini ialah pulpitis reversibel gigi 63 disertai agenesis gigi 22. Perawatan pertama berupa restorasi pada permukaan labial gigi 63 menggunakan bahan restorasi sewarna gigi yaitu komposit. Pasien diminta untuk kembali kontrol setelah satu minggu. Saat kontrol dilakukan pemeriksaan vitalitas gigi dengan hasil positif serta tidak ada keluhan dari pasien. Tujuan perawatan restoratif pada pasien ini ialah memperbaiki kerusakan jaringan akibat karies, melindungi dan mencegah kerusakan pulpa dan struktur gigi, mengurangi gejala dan nyeri, mengembalikan fungsi, meningkatkan estetik, mendukung kebersihan mulut yang baik, dan mempertahankan ruang serta lengkung gigi. Simpulan kasus ini ialah gigi sulung dapat diper-tahankan sebagai pengganti gigi yang mengalami agenesis. Keberhasilan perawatan tergantung pada koordinasi antara dokter gigi dan pasien.Kata kunci: agenesis; gigi sulung; insisivus lateral rahang atas

Abstract

Abstract: Discoloration of acrylic resin teeth can cause esthetic problem. Alkaline peroxide is commonly used as a denture cleanser, however, due to its side effects, an alternative material such as strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) that contains ellagic acid and malic acid can be used to whiten and clean the teeth. This study was aimed to determine the effect of strawberry extract with concentrations of 65%, 75%, 85%, and 95% towards discoloration of artificial tooth due to tea immersion. This was an experimental laboratory study with a pre-test and post-test control group design. Artificial teeth made from acrylic resin were tested for color changes after immersion in tea for seven days followed by immersion in strawberry extract with concentrations of 65%, 75%, 85%, 95%, and alkaline peroxide for seven days. Color measurement was carried out using the chromameter and CIE L*a*b* system. Paired t-test showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in all values of 'L', 'a', and 'b' groups before and after treatment except for the value of 'b' immersion with alkaline peroxide and 75% strawberry extract. One way Anova test showed significant results in all groups. The strongest to the weakest tea stain cleanser was the group of 95% strawberry extract, 85% strawberry extract, alkaline peroxide, 75% strawberry extract, and 65% strawberry extract, respectively. In conclusion, strawberry extract at 65%, 75%, 85%, and 95% concen-tration affected the brightness of discolored artificial tooth due to tea immersion. The best change in brightness occurred at 95% concentration of strawberry extract.Keywords: strawberry extract; discoloration; artificial tooth; tea; alkaline peroxide Abstrak: Diskolorasi anasir gigi tiruan resin akrilik dapat menyebabkan masalah estetik.

Abstract

Abstract: Smoking causes harmful effects on health, especially the oral cavity. However, the oral cavity has saliva as a defence system that can eliminate harmful substances from the body. Normally saliva secreted by the salivary glands has a pH of 6.7-7.4 while in smokers the pH tends to be more acidic. This study aimed to determine the potential of coconut water as a natural mouthwash on the pH and salivary flow in smokers. This was a literature review study by searching scientific journals in Indonesian and English from 2019-2020 through search engines at SINTA, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The keywords used were young coconut water, gargling, cigarette, salivary flow rate, smoking, and salivary pH. The results obtained 17 suitable articles. Individuals who smoked more than 10 cigarettes/day, more than 6 years could have decreased pH and salivary flow. Therefore, coconut water was needed to reduce its effect, which was believed could increase pH and salivary flow. Coconut water had a pH that was almost the same as normal pH of saliva, which was 7.3. Coconut water contained tannins which gave a bitter taste, therefore, it stimulated salivary secretion and increased pH and salivary flow. In conclusion, young coconut water has a pH which is similar with normal saliva, therefore, it could become a natural potential mouthwash to increase pH and salivary flow in smokers. Keywords: young coconut water; mouthwash; salivary flow rate; smoking; salivary pH Abstrak: Merokok memberikan efek berbahaya bagi kesehatan terutama rongga mulut karena mengandung kurang lebih 5000 bahan kimia yang berbahaya. Rongga mulut memiliki saliva sebagai sistem pertahanan yang dapat mengeliminasi zat berbahaya dari tubuh. Cairan saliva disekresikan oleh kelenjar saliva 0,5-1,5 liter/hari dengan pH 6,7-7,4 sedangkan pH pada perokok cenderung lebih asam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi air kelapa sebagai cairan kumur alami terhadap pH dan aliran saliva perokok. Metode penelitian berupa literature review dengan mencari jurnal ilmiah berbahasa Indonesia dan Inggris dari tahun 2019-2020 melalui mesin pencarian di SINTA, PubMed, dan google scholar dengan kata kunci: air kelapa muda, berkumur, laju aliran saliva, merokok, pH saliva, rokok. Hasil pencarian mendapatkan 17 artikel yang sesuai. Individu yang merokok lebih dari 10 batang/hari lebih dari enam tahun dapat mengalami penurunan pH dan aliran saliva. Dibutuhkan upaya untuk menguranginya, salah satunya dengan berkumur menggunakan air kelapa, yang diyakini dapat meningkatkan pH dan aliran saliva. Hal ini terjadi karena air kelapa memiliki pH yang sama seperti pH normal yaitu 7,3. Air kelapa mengandung tannin yang memberikan rasa pahit sehingga merangsang sekresi saliva yang dapat meningkatkan pH dan aliran saliva. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah air kelapa mempunyai pH mendekati pH saliva normal sehingga dapat menjadi potensi alami untuk meningkatkan pH dan laju aliran saliva pada perokok.
