Abstract

Introduction: Oral habits are habits related to muscle contractions. Oral habit, one of which is nonnutritive sucking (finger sucking), is the first step for children to regulate emotional abilities, relax and focus effects, provide comfort and a sense of security for children for example when feeling tired, bored, afraid and sad. Almost 100% of normal infants will experience the nonnutritive sucking phase until the age of 2-3 years and 20% until the age of 3 years. If the habit continues beyond the age of 3.5 years, it will lead to bad oral habits, which is a repetitive behavior that can cause abnormalities in the teeth and supporting tissues. This bad oral habit can cause changes in the orofacial system, and its manifestations are influenced by factors such as duration, frequency and intensity. Case: A 5-year-old girl came to RSGM escorted by her mother with complaints of having a habit of sucking the middle finger and ring finger on the left and the front teeth bite looks open, and premature loss of tooth 74. Case Management: the patient was given a removable orthodontic device using palatal cribs mounted on the upper jaw and mandibular space maintainer due to tooth 74 loss. Discussions: after observation which was carried out once a week for 10 times within ± 3 months, there were clinical changes, namely overjet 3 mm to 2 mm, open bite 2 mm to 0.5 mm, the lump on the left middle finger thinned and the patient no longer sucked the finger Conclusion: : the success of the treatment is the result of good cooperation between the doctor and the patient and the patient's parents, as well as early treatment of bad oral habit cases. The use of palatal cribs in this case proved effective in controlling finger suck.

Abstract

Background: Systemic diseases have manifestations in the oral cavity with a variety of lesions that have similar types or forms and can be the first manifestations that appear before the manifestations spread to other areas, therefore a thorough initial examination of the oral cavity is very important to determine indications of systemic conditions. Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that is associated with hyperactivity of the immune system, in which the immune system which functions as a protector of the body experiences an abnormality that is unable to distinguish between foreign objects /own cells. Oral Discoid Lupus Erythematosus is a manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in the oral cavity. Case: a 47-year-old woman came with complaints of canker sores in her mouth. Canker sores have occurred since the previous 7 months, sometimes heal and then reappear repeatedly. The patient said that she started experiencing thrush after giving birth 10 years ago. Case Management: the patient was referred for a complete blood count and ANA test then the patient was given methylprednisolone 4 mg at a dose of 3x1 a day, topical anti-inflammatory drugs, and B-complex vitamins. Discussion: Oral Discoid Lupus Erythematosus has clinical features of ulcers and erosions surrounded by white striae on the mucosal. Diagnosis confirmed from clinical features and ANA test which showed positive. Conclusions: The treatment was successful because the correct diagnosis with collaboration was made to produce the right treatment plan accompanied by the patient's cooperation in carrying out the treatment

Abstract

Introduction: Dental caries is the most common dental and oral problem in children, with a prevalence of 90.2% in children under 6 years old . Streptococcus mutans is considered one of the most virulent caries-causing microorganisms due to its ability to colonize and initiate plaque formation on tooth surfaces. Probiotic yogurt and skim milk-based fermented drinks, which are popular with children, can potentially inhibit the growth of pathogenic oral bacteria. This study aimed to determine the effect of these probiotic drinks on reducing Streptococcus mutans counts in pediatric dental caries. Materials and Methods: This in vitro laboratory study used a post-test only control group design. Streptococcus mutans colonies obtained from human dental plaque were immersed in artificial saliva with yogurt for 4 minutes, skim milk-based fermented drinks for 2 minutes, or distilled water (negative control) for 2 or 4 minutes. Bacterial growth was observed and analyzed statistically. Results: Both probiotic yogurt drinks and skim milk-based fermented drinks reduced the number of Streptococcus mutans bacteria. Conclusion: Skim milk-based fermented beverages showed a greater reduction in Streptococcus mutans compared to yogurt. Poor oral hygiene practices, cariogenic diets, and low socioeconomic status are reported risk factors for dental caries in children. Regular tooth brushing and limiting sugar consumption can help prevent caries development.

Abstract

Introduction: Three interrelated elements are responsible for creating an ideal smile: teeth, gingiva, and lips. The current concept of aesthetics focuses not only on the teeth but on the gingiva as well, thus make these two elements important and related to one another. Maintaining the healthy condition of periodontal tissue around the teeth is vital for functional and aesthetic aspects. Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure to increase the length of clinical crowns to achieve an ideal crown to gingival ratio with or without bone reduction. Crown lengthening procedures require a good understanding of biological width and how to achieve it. This case report aims to demonstrate the success of crown lengthening with ostectomy for the treatment of excessive gingival display in post orthodontic treatment patients. Case: A 25-year-old female patient came to the periodontic clinic on referral from an orthodontic, for correction of a disproportionate dental condition after braces treatment was completed. Treatment: Clinical examination showed disproportionate length and width of crowns due to excessive gingival display and gingival enlargement in the region of teeth 33 to 43. Case Management: In this case report, crown lengthening treatment was performed from teeth 13 to 23 with open flap for ostectomy and flap was restored with sling suture, contact point repair on teeth 12 and 22, and gingivectomy on mandibular anterior teeth. Conclusion: Aesthetic crown lengthening surgery results in a high satisfaction level of the patient and predictable and stable results.

Abstract

Introduction The Streptococcus mutans bacteria is a key microorganism that plays a significant role in the etiology of dental caries. Avocado seed extract is one alternative used to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria. Avocado seeds can act as antibacterial agents due to their active compound content, including flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, and terpenoids. Materials and Methods. This research aims to determine the inhibitory power present in avocado seeds against Streptococcus mutans bacteria, using a pure experimental design known as Post-test Only Control Group Design. The study involves two concentrations, namely 75% and 100%, each with 6 repetitions. Avocado seed extraction uses 96% ethanol as a solvent through the maceration method. The inhibition zone testing is carried out using the Kirby-Bauer method. Results and Discussions The inhibition zones, as determined by the Kruskal-Wallis test, indicate a significant difference in both concentrations regarding the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria. Conclusions The conclusion of this research is that avocado seed extract can inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria, with the 100% concentration being more effective in creating an inhibition zone than the 75% concentration.

Abstract

Introduction. Knowledge is a primary factor in behavior establishment. Cognition or knowledge may be obtained naturally or planned through education. Knowledge is influenced by several factors including education level, socio-economic status, environment, and facilities availability of healthcare facilities. A person’s cognition level indicates their capability to obtain and understand health information. It is expected that a higher education level leads to more extensive cognition. A lower education level, however, does not necessarily represent a lower cognition level. Cognition escalation is not entirely gained through formal education, but it may be obtained through informal education as well. The health status of the oral cavity is a major part of general physical health. The health of the oral cavity can be determined through oral hygiene status, as various diseases are initiated by poor dental and oral health. Materials and Methods. The objective of this study was to determine the difference in dental and oral health cognition between undergraduate and professional degree students at the Dental Medicine Faculty of Mahasaraswati University, Denpasar. The study was an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was performed simultaneously at the same time. Fifty-two undergraduate students and 48 professional degree students present during data collection were enrolled as the sample. Respondents were required to fill out the designated dental and oral health cognition questionnaire. Results and Discussion. From the results of data analysis using the Independent T-test, the results obtained p < 0.05 where there is a significant difference in knowledge between undergraduate students and professional level students. Conclusion. The conclusion of the study is that there is a significant difference in oral health knowledge between undergraduate students and professional students at the Faculty of Dentistry, Mahasaraswati University, Denpasar.

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal disease and traumatic occlusion can result in loss of alveolar bone so that the teeth become mobile. Treatment of tooth’s mobility depends on the etiology and prognosis of the tooth. Case: This case report describes the treatment of a tooth’s mobility due to periodontal disease and traumatic occlusion. The first case was a 39-year-old female patient with complaints of mobility of teeth, the gums of the lower front teeth were often swollen, pus intermittently since 2 years ago. Clinical examination showed tooth 41 mobility grade 2 with a pocket depth of 6 mm and teeth 31,32,42 mobility grade 1 with a pocket depth of 3 mm and were traumatic occlusion on teeth 11,21 and 41. Radiographic showed infrabony defects of teeth 31 and 41 with 30% bone loss. The second case was a 22-year-old female patient with complaints of bleeding gums when brushing her teeth and mobility of lower front teeth since 1 year ago. Clinical examination showed teeth 31,41 mobility grade 2 with a pocket depth of 4 mm and 6 mm, teeth 32,42 mobility grade 1 with a pocket depth of 3 mm, there was traumatic occlusion on teeth 21 and 31. Radiographic showed suprabony defects on teeth 31 and 41 with 30% bone loss. Case Management: In both cases, initial treatment was carried out with scaling and root planing, followed by occlusal adjustment. One week post-treatment oclusal adjustment there was no tooth mobility in either case. Discussions: Mobility can be caused by periodontal tissue inflammation, alveolar bone destruction, and traumatic occlusion. Conclusion: Occlusal adjustment can reduce mobility in traumatic occlusal teeth.

Abstract

Introduction: A high superior labial frenulum causes a gap in the incisors and in the long term will lead to periodontal disease such as gingival enlargement. And pigmentation abnormalities that usually appear physiologically on the gingiva which disturb the aesthetic aspect of the patient. Anatomical abnormalities and abnormalities that occur due to periodontal disease if not treated will result in the severity of periodontal disease progression. Case: A 20-year-old female patient complained of enlargement of her gums and the color of her gums was slightly dark. Case Management: Intra oral examination revealed a high frenulum, gingival enlargement and gingival pigmentation. Discussion: Surgical procedures performed at one visit to overcome the patient's problem, periodontal surgery was performed in the form of gingivektomi, frenectomy and for aesthetic surgery in the form of gingival depigmentation in sequence with a surgical blade. Conclusion: Conventional surgical procedures in this case can be performed with sequential stages in one visit for the efficiency of patient visits and time. So that patients are more comfortable without having to repeat periodontal surgery.
