Abstract

Introduction: Tooth decay is one of the most common dental diseases. Clinical examination alone is not sufficient to detect carious lesions. Additional diagnostic support, such as radiographic imaging, is necessary to aid in establishing an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. Case: A 21-year-old female patient came to the Conservative Dentistry clinic at RSGM Unpad with complaints of a cavity in her lower right molar, and sometimes food gets stuck in it. Additionally, the patient also complained of occasional sensitivity in the tooth when eating or drinking cold items, which quickly subsides. Case Treatment: The treatment for the filling of tooth 46 was completed in four visits. The first visit included taking the patient's history and an initial examination. The second visit involved caries removal, Class I preparation, discovery of a distal-proximal lesion, further Class II preparation, and a trial placement of a sectional matrix. The third visit included the placement of the sectional matrix, Class II composite restoration, and polishing. The fourth visit covered the control of the Class II composite restoration and re-polishing. Discussions: Proximal caries is a type of decay that is difficult to detect clinically. The bitewing radiographic technique is the standard method for detecting proximal caries through the radiolucent image, which indicates the presence of demineralization in the tooth. Conclusion and Suggestions: The importance of clinical examination, along with the supporting examination through bitewing radiography, is to detect proximal caries, thereby preventing errors in determining the treatment plan.

Abstract

Introduction: The unkempt state of the mouth and teeth can lead to the development of bacteria that cause problems in the oral cavity. Streptococcus mutans, an acid-producing bacterium, can cause caries whose numbers can be reduced by chewing Xylitol gum. Xylitol is a non-acidogenic and non-cariogenic natural sweetener that can stimulate salivary flow and increase the pH value of saliva. These bacteria cannot ferment Xylitol so acid is not produced and salivary pH does not decrease. Materials and Methods: The tools and materials used in this study were Xylitol fresh mint gum, diagnostic tools, laboratory tools, Streptococcus mutans bacteria, saliva before and after treatment. The research method used was descriptive pseudo-experimental with One Group Pre-test and Post-test design. Results and Discussion: The results of the study were analyzed with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The group between before and after treatment showed a difference in the number of bacterial colonies of 0.000, so there was a significant difference in the number of colonies in this study, with an average colony of Streptococcus mutans before treatment of 99.87 CPU/ml. While for Streptococcus mutans colonies after treatment amounted to 36.75 CPU/ml. Conclusion: From the results of the study, it can be concluded that Xylitol gum has an effect on the growth of the number of colonies of Streptococcus mutans bacteria in saliva.

Abstract

Introduction: Accreditation of independent dental practices has become an important issue in dental health to ensure standards of quality and patient safety. Quality services, according to WHO dimensions (2018), require efforts for improvement both internally and externally, including accreditation every five years. The high incidence of patient safety events in various countries highlights the need for better protection. Accreditation is also implemented in other countries, such as Australia and Singapore, with significant support from local governments. Methods: This study employs a descriptive legal analysis method to outline criminal responsibilities. Data were collected through documentation of laws and relevant regulations. The analysis used a qualitative approach, linking the data to applicable legal provisions. Conclusions were drawn deductively to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the issues. Discussion: Patient safety has increasingly become a primary focus in managing healthcare facilities, especially due to the growing global attention to this issue. Data indicate that independent dental practices (TPMDG) can be high-risk facilities impacting patient safety. WHO (2009) identified four factors contributing to patient safety incidents: organizational, teamwork, environmental, and individual factors. Among these, organizational and teamwork factors significantly contribute to patient safety issues, including safety culture, leadership, and communication. Conclusion: Accreditation of independent dental practice locations is crucial to ensure the quality and safety of healthcare services through the implementation of strict standards and external oversight. Legal protection for patients receiving services at non-accredited practices can be achieved through several means in accordance with the applicable legislation in Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of periodontal disease remains high in Indonesia. Lack of knowledge and limited access to healthcare services can lead to poor dental health status. The aim of this study is to enhance housewives' knowledge of self-prevention practices for periodontal disease on Derawan Island. Material and Methods: This study utilized a true experiment with a Randomized Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design involving 42 housewives. The intervention included knowledge enhancement using a module book and periodontal health education. Knowledge of periodontal health was assessed using questionnaires, while behavior in periodontal disease prevention was evaluated using the Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHIS). The collected data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Spearman's rank correlation test. Results and Discussions: The majority of respondents had good knowledge (85,72%), while their oral hygiene was in the moderate category (54,55%). An increase in knowledge was observed in 19,05% of respondents. There was a significant difference in knowledge before and after the intervention (P<0,05). However, no significant correlation was found between knowledge and OHIS (P>0,05) Conclusion: Knowledge of periodontal disease prevention among housewives on Derawan Island has increased. Good knowledge among most housewives can serve as a foundation for independent periodontal disease prevention behaviors. This study is still ongoing to observe changes in self-prevention behavior.

Abstract

Introduction: Deep caries can involve the pulp tissue, necessitating pulp capping treatment. Fusobacterium nucleatum is frequently found in deep caries. One of the essential requirements for pulp capping materials is antibacterial properties. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is a commonly used pulp capping material due to its favorable characteristics, such as antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, and more. However, MTA has several drawbacks, including a long setting time, difficult manipulation, risk of staining and discoloration, and high cost. Nicotiana tabacum leaf extract has the potential to serve as an herbal alternative for pulp capping materials, as it is known to possess antibacterial properties derived from its secondary metabolites. This study aimed to determine the antibacterial effects of Nicotiana tabacum leaf extract on Fusobacterium nucleatum. Materials and Methods: An in vitro experimental laboratory study with a post-test only control group design was conducted. The antibacterial test used the 96-well microdilution and plate count methods to determine Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC). There were nine test groups, consisting of Nicotiana tabacum leaf extract at 3.125%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, and 50% of 1000 µg/µL (31.25 µg/µL, 62.5 µg/µL, 125 µg/µL, 250 µg/µL, and 500 µg/µL), sterile aquadest (negative control), MTA (positive control), and internal controls (Nicotiana tabacum leaf extract and sterile aquadest). Results: The number of bacterial colonies significantly decreased as the extract concentration increased. Nicotiana tabacum leaf extract showed MIC values at 12.5% (125 µg/µL) and MBC values at 25% (250 µg/µL). The antibacterial activity of Nicotiana tabacum leaf extract is attributed to its secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, saponins, steroids, and triterpenoids, which disrupt bacterial structures and functions. Conclusion: Nicotiana tabacum leaf extract has antibacterial effects (bacteriostatic and bactericidal) on Fusobacterium nucleatum.
