<![CDATA[Objective: Gingival Polyp, which are focal fibrous hyperplastic lesion, are also known as, localized gingival enlargement. represent a reactive hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue in response of trauma or irritation. The gold standard for its treatment is surgical excision performed with a scalpel, electrocautery or lasers. This case report presents treatment for proximal carious teeth with gingival polyp. Methods: A 20 year male patient reported to Conservative Department. He complained of proximal cavity, mild sensitivity to cold, painless growth of the gum in lower right back tooth region. An oral examination revealed a reddish- pink soft gingival overgrowth of 5x4 mm in size, localized to interproximal area and presenting with a pedunculated base with relation to teeth 45. Summating the clinical presenting features, a provisional clinical diagnosis of gingival polyp was made. Results: First treatment was caries cleansing, then the cavity was closed with cotton with dripped of eugenol. The gingival polyp are smaller than before. Then a local anesthetic is performed to remove the remaining gingival polyp tissue. Gingival polyp are cut using an excavator and restoration cavity using composite Conclusion: Eugenol exerts a beneficial action on anti-inflammatory so could reduce the edema of gingival soft tisuue. The treatment acceptance but the expected results are still not maximal so that it still needs to excision.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of noni leaf ethanol extract gel on post extraction wound of rabbit teeth observed from wound diameter and osteoblasts cell count. Tooth extraction is one of the treatments performed in the oral region that cause wound. Application of substance or medicine might help accelerate and improve wound healing. Material and Methods: Twenty-four rabbits divided into three groups: negative control, positive control with 10% povidone iodine, and treatment group with 10% ethanol extract gel of noni leaf. The tooth was extracted from the mandibular left incisor. The diameter of the wound area was examined on day 0, 3, 7, and 14 while the osteoblasts cell count was obtained from rabbits’ specimen in each group on 14th day. Measurement of wound diameter was done by using calipers, while the number of osteoblasts were calculated using toluidine blue histochemistry stain and light microscope with 400x magnification. Results: The ratio of wound diameter were better in treatment group with significant difference (p=0.048) while osteoblasts cell count were not significantly different among all groups. Conclusion: Topical application of noni leaf had an effect in decreasing mucosal wound diameter but there was not any evidence yet that it was increased osteoblast cells on socket wound healing process.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: Therefore, this study will reveal the effectiveness of watermelon rind extract waste in inhibiting free radicals in patients with oral leukoplakia. Material and Methods: The extraction method used is maceration. One hundred grams of watermelon rind powder (112 g) added 700 ml of 96% ethanol. Then soak for 3 days. The extract is filtered using a filter to separate the filtrate and its residue. After that solvent evaporation was carried out until the dried extract was obtained, then tested the antioxidant activity of the extract using DPPH free radical catcher. Results: Watermelon rind extract is classified as a powerful antioxidant because it has a ppm value ranging from 50-100 ppm. Conclusion: It can be proven that the watermelon rind which is more often disposed of can also be used, contains vitamin C and lycopene which can connect freely to patients with leukoplakia and can be used as a support therapy for surgical therapy as a cause of leukoplakia disease.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of growth stunting on the number of primary teeth eruption from a representative Panduman Village, Jelbuk, East Java. Material and Methods: This is an analytic observational with a cross sectional approach study. Parents of the stunted toddlers were invited and 25 toddlers (age between 19-60 months) were participated in the study. There were 25 normal growth toddlers who had the same age range who were also invited in this study as for the normal control group. In this study, the tooth were considered to have erupted if the crown if the tooth was clinically visible through the gingival mucosa. Data was than devided into 4 (20-30, 31-40, 41-50 and 51-60) age categories, The average data for each category was analyzed with independent T test if necesary. Results: All primary incisors have been erupted for all age category for both stunted and normal control population. The number of primary canines were significantly difference (P> 0.02) only in the 20-30 months age cateory. It may sugest that stunting affect the eruption time of primary canines. However, the number of erupted primary molars were not significantly difference in all age categories between stunted and normal controls groups. Conclusion: Stunting potentially affect the eruption time of primary teeth. Further study involving larger number of sampel is required to conform this findings.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: To determine the effect of lemuru fish oil extract (Sardinella longiceps) on the number of fibroblasts in periodontal tissue of Wistar rats induced by diabetes mellitus using streptozotocin. Material and Methods: Thirty-two Wistar rats male, were divided into 4 groups, group K0 (negative control), K1 (4ml/kgBB), K2 (8ml/kgBB), and K3 (4ml/kgBB). Rats were induced with nicotinamide and streptozotocin to create a state of diabetes. The experiment of giving lemuru fish oil extract was carried out for 21 days.The number of fibroblast cells in periodontal tissue with HE staining was performed. The data were analyzed by One-Way ANOVA and Post-Hoc LSD test. Results: The LSD test showed a significant difference between the group without treatment and the group using treatment lemuru fish oil. Group with Lemuru fish oil can increase the number of fibroblasts and the most effective dose is 8ml/kgBB. Conclusion: Lemuru fish oil extract (Sardinella longiceps) can increase the number of fibroblasts in periodontal tissue of Wistar rats induced by diabetes mellitus.]]>
