Abstract: Unilateral chewing can cause tooth malposition and abnormalities in jaw growth and development. This study aimed to determine the influence of caries severity as the etiology of unilateral chewing habits. This was an analytical study with a cross sectional design. Subjects were junior high school students at Gamping District, Sleman, Special Region of Yogyakarta obtained by using simple random sampling as many as 211 subjects. Unilateral chewing assessment was carried out using the direct method by letting the child chewed gum. Measurement of caries severity was carried out using the index introduced by Shimono. Data analysis was carried out using the chi-square test to compare the severity of caries in the two chewing groups. The results showed that 129 (61.14%) out of 211 subjects had unilateral chewing habit. The severity of caries in the unilateral chewing group was moderate (21.33%), high (20.85%), and low (18.96%), respectively. Meanwhile, in the bilateral chewing group, the severity of caries was low (17.54%), moderate (11.85%), and high (9.54%). There was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the severity of caries in the unilateral and the bilateral chewing groups. In conclusion, children with unilateral chewing habits tend to have a higher level of caries severity, although this was not significant. The result is expected to provide knowledge and as a basis for predicting the risk of unilateral chewing due to caries condition.

Abstract: Stainless steel crown (SSC) is a type of crown made from a dental alloy or stainless steel anatomically shaped and easily adaptable to extensively damaged teeth. This SSC can be utilized not only for deciduous teeth but also for young permanent teeth. This literature review aimed to further discuss the role of SSC as a preliminary treatment for young permanent first molars. Data search was conducted on electronic databases such as Google Scholar, NCBI (Pubmed), and Science Direct using the keywords "Stainless Steel Crown" and "Young Permanent Dentition." Previous research suggests that the use of SSC as a preliminary treatment for young permanent first molars is considered highly effective and suitable as a temporary restoration before definitive treatment was performed. In conclusion, it is proven that stainless steel crowns can maintain the function of severely damaged molars in children and adolescents until definitive treatment can be performed. This is attributed to the high success rate and long-term durability of stainless steel crown. Keywords: stainless steel crown; preliminary treatment; young permanent teeth Abstrak: Stainless steel crown (SSC) adalah jenis mahkota yang terbuat dari paduan logam dental (alloy) atau baja tahan karat berbentuk anatomi gigi dan mudah dibentuk untuk diadaptasikan pada gigi yang mengalami kerusakan luas. Jenis restorasi ini tidak hanya dapat digunakan pada gigi sulung, namun juga untuk gigi permanen muda. Tujuan pembuatan literature review ini untuk membahas lebih lanjut mengenai peran SSC sebagai perawatan pendahuluan pada gigi molar pertama permanen muda. Penelusuran data dilakukan pada basis data elektronik seperti Google Scholar, NCBI (Pubmed), dan Science Direct dengan penentuan kata kunci “Stainless Steel Crown” dan “Young Permanent Dentition”. Penelitian sebelumnya mengemukakan bahwa penggunaan SSC sebagai perawatan pendahuluan pada gigi molar pertama permanen muda dinilai sangat baik dan layak digunakan sebagai restorasi sementara sebelum perawatan definitif dilakukan. Simpulan review ini ialah terbukti bahwa stainless steel crown dapat mempertahankan fungsi gigi molar yang mengalami kerusakan parah baik pada anak maupun remaja sampai perawatan prostetik defnitif dapat dilakukan. Hal ini disebabkan karena stainless steel crown memiliki keberhasilan yang tinggi dan ketahanan jangka panjang. Kata kunci: stainless steel crown; perawatan pendahuluan; gigi permanen muda

Abstract: Motorcycle riders have a high prevalence of accident risks. These accidents can result in severe injuries and can even lead to death. The death prevalence among motorcyclists is three times higher than that of car passengers, six times higher than that of pedestrians, and almost 50 times higher than that of bus occupants. Traffic accidents can cause blunt trauma. High-speed crashes are common in polytraumatized motorcycle crashes and often display facial injuries. In this case report, the authors present a case of an accident with findings of facial trauma to the forehead, nose, cheeks, and multiple fractures of the maxilla and mandible due to a hard object impact. Dental examination revealed post-mortem tooth loss, fractures of the teeth, attrition, root remains, and visible impaction. In conclusion, craniofacial blunt trauma presents with many clinical features. The authors recommend that the finding of such cases be performed further examinations such as X-rays to gain an idea of the possible location of the fracture and to do an autopsy. Keywords: motorcycle accident; blunt trauma; maxillary fracture; mandibular fracture

Abstract: Ectopic tooth locations outside the normal jaw arch such as on the maxillary sinus are rare. The presence of ectopic signs is often found accidentally by dentists during oral cavity examinations. This is due to the absence of symptoms or complaints in the early days. An understanding of the complications that may occur due to ectopic teeth is very necessary for dentists in providing oral health education. We reported a 26-year-old woman complaining of swelling in her right cheek which had become increasingly painful one week before the examination. Orthopantomograph (OPG) x-ray showed that the right upper third molar was positioned on the right maxillary sinus. A CT scan was carried out to determine the position and boundaries of the third molar teeth. Surgery was performed to remove the upper right third molar tooth under general anesthesia using the Caldwell-Luc approach. The final control results showed significantly reduced pain and swelling. In conclusion, surgical excision using the Caldwell-Luc approach for an ectopic tooth into the maxillary anthrum with symptoms shows good results without significant complaints after the procedure. Good wound healing is observed in the 2nd and 3rd months after surgery. Keywords: ectopic tooth; complications; upper third molar; maxillary sinus Abstrak: Lokasi gigi ektopik di luar lengkung rahang normal seperti pada sinus maksilaris merupakan kasus jarang. Adanya tanda-tanda ektopik sering kali ditemukan tidak sengaja oleh dokter gigi saat pemeriksaan rongga mulut. Hal ini disebabkan tidak adanya gejala ataupun keluhan pada masa-masa awal. Pemahaman tentang komplikasi yang mungkin terjadi akibat gigi ektopik sangat perlu bagi dokter gigi dalam memberi edukasi kesehatan mulut. Kami melaporkan seorang perempuan berusia 26 tahun, dengan keluhan bengkak di pipi kanan yang bertambah nyeri sejak satu minggu sebelum diperiksa. Rontgen ortopantomograf (OPG) menunjukkan gigi molar ketiga atas kanan posisi berada pada sinus maksilaris kanan. Selanjutnya dilakukan CT-scan untuk menentukan posisi dan batas-batas gigi molar ketiga tersebut. Pembedahan dilakukan untuk mengambil gigi molar ketiga kanan atas, di bawah pengaruh bius total, dengan pendekatan Caldwell-Luc. Hasil kontrol akhir menunjukkan nyeri dan bengkak berkurang secara signifikan. Simpulan laporan kasus ini ialah tindakan eksisi bedah dengan pendekatan Caldwell-Luc pada kondisi gigi ektopik ke dalam antrum maksilaris dengan gejala menunjukkan hasil yang baik dan tidak disertai keluhan berarti setelah tindakan, dengan hasil penyembuhan luka yang baik pada bulan ke-2 dan 3 pasca operasi. Kata kunci: gigi ektopik; komplikasi; molar ketiga atas; sinus maksilaris

Abstract: Root canal treatment is performed to eliminate causal factors of infection and remove necrotic tissue. However, during treatment, the persistence of the microorganism, Enterococcus faecalis, proved to be the cause of treatment failure. Currently a lot of research is being done on natural materials as an alternative to irrigation materials because they are considered to be more biocompatible and economical; one of which is the Turkey berry fruit plant (Solanum torvum Sw.). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of several concentrations of Turkey berry fruit extract on the growth of Enterococcus faecalis through minimum inhibitory and minimum lethal concentrations (MIC and LCmin). This was a post test only control group design study. Samples were divided into treatment and control groups: 12,5%, 25%, 50% dan 100% extract of Turkey berry fruit, chlorhexidine as the positive control, and 0.9% NaCl as the negative control. All of them had been implanted with bacterial suspension, and then were spread on the MHA media. Observations were performed after 24 hours of incubation, and bacterial colony were count manually. Data were analyzed using the non parametric Kruskal-Wallis test and the Tamhane’s post hoc test that showed significant difference among the groups with MIC at 25% and LCmin at 50%. In conclusion, Turkey berry fruit extract of 25% and 50% can inhibit the growth of Enterococcus faecalis. Keywords: root canal treatment; chlorhexidine; Enterococcus faecalis; Turkey berry fruit Abstrak: Perawatan saluran akar dilakukan untuk mengeliminasi faktor penyebab infeksi dan menghilangkan jaringan nekrotik.

Abstract: Dental trauma is a common occurrence in forensic investigations and may provide important clues about the amount of damages and when they occurred, both of which are vital in court cases. Forensic pathologists and dentists work hand in hand to assess and diagnose oral injuries accurately, which is crucial for those who are alive and those who have passed away. In order to guarantee accurate forensic results, the need of standardizing procedures used in dental trauma analysis, such as clinical and radiographic tests, and the need of thorough documentation are very crucial. The many kinds of dental injuries, their causes, and how forensic applications help to identify victims and piece together are very important to be discussed. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the importance of dental injury analysis, procedures and their implications in various cases within the scope of forensic odontology for efficient practice, highlighting the vital role of forensic odontology in medico-legal investigations via an in-depth review of the existing literature. Keywords: dental trauma; forensic odontologist; clinical examination; radiographic assessment; legal context

Abstract: Oral frailty is declined oral cavity function, along with a decrease in mental and physical capabilities. This study aimed to provide a review about oral frailty factors affecting general health in the elderly. A systematic search was conducted using three electronic databases (PubMed, Wiley, and Scopus). Articles written in English (randomized clinical trial, prospective study, retrospective study) and published over the last ten years were identified. There were 11 out of 65 articles were included in this study. The results showed that a decreased number of teeth was related to a decrease in cognitive function and physical strength in the elderly. The edentulous ridge, and denture type and condition affect masticatory muscles, occlusal status, and postural balance of the elderly. Masticatory muscle structural changes were related to decreased nutritional intake, weight loss, decreased cognitive function, decreased physical strength (seen from hand grip strength), and increased risk of elderly dependence. Decreased masticatory muscle strength was associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's and postural imbalance in the elderly. In conclusion, oral weakness factors such as the number of teeth, use of dentures, masticatory muscles and maximum bite strength are associated with general health in the elderly. Keywords: oral frailty; oral function; physical frailty Abstrak: Kelemahan rongga mulut merupakan penurunan fungsi rongga mulut yang disertai penurunan fungsi mental dan fisik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan tinjauan bagaimana faktor kelemahan rongga mulut memengaruhi kesehatan umum pada lansia. Studi sistematis dilakukan dengan tiga database elektronik (PubMed, Wiley, dan Scopus). Identifikasi artikel (uji klinis acak, studi prospektif, studi retrospektif) yang ditulis dalam bahasa Inggris dan diterbitkan selama sepuluh tahun terakhir. Sebanyak 11 artikel disertakan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penurunan jumlah gigi berkaitan pada penurunan fungsi kognitif dan kekuatan fisik pada lansia. Edentulous ridge serta jenis dan kondisi gigi palsu berpengaruh terhadap otot pengunyahan, status oklusal, dan keseimbangan postural lansia. Perubahan struktural otot mastikasi berkaitan dengan penurunan asupan nutrisi, penurunan berat badan, penurunan fungsi kognitif, penurunan kekuatan fisik (dilihat dari kekuatan genggaman tangan), dan peningkatan resiko ketergantungan lansia. Penurunan kekuatan otot mastikasi memiliki keterkaitan dengan peningkatan resiko terjadinya Alzheimer dan ketidakseimbangan postural pada lansia. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah faktor kelemahan pada rongga mulut seperti jumlah gigi, penggunaan gigi palsu, otot pengunyahan dan kekuatan maksimum gigitan berhubungan dengan kesehatan umum pada lansia. Kata kunci: kelemahan rongga mulut; fungsi rongga mulut; ketidakmampuan fisik
