Abstract

Introduction: Dental caries is one of the most common health problems among school-aged children and can have long-term impacts on their quality of life. Most oral health promotion interventions to date remain conventional and are often unappealing to children. On the other hand, advancements in digital technology offer significant opportunities for developing more interactive and engaging educational approaches. Review: This literature review aims to analyze the relevance and effectiveness of integrating the Health Belief Model (HBM) with gamification in the development of digital interventions for school-aged children in the field of oral health. The literature findings indicate that HBM-based interventions are effective in enhancing children’s perceptions of susceptibility, benefits, and self-efficacy in maintaining oral health. Gamification has been shown to improve engagement and motivation through game elements such as points, challenges, and rewards. Several studies conclude that, although each approach has its own strengths, the strategic integration of HBM and gamification can address their respective limitations—particularly in achieving long-term behavior change. Conclusion: However, most digital interventions have not yet explicitly incorporated all components of the HBM, nor have they adequately addressed local contexts such as culture, technological access, and the role of teachers and parents. Therefore, there is a need for the design of digital intervention applications based on HBM and gamification through a co-design approach. This concept holds potential as a direction for further research in developing sustainable and evidence-based oral health promotion solutions in Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: An open wound is a condition where part of the body's tissue has been damaged from its normal state due to sharp or blunt trauma, changes in temperature, chemicals, explosions, electric shock, or animal bites. Clove leaves contain active ingredients such as eugenol, saponins, phenols, steroids, terpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins, as well as essential oils, which have the potential to be anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and analgesic, inhibiting cell damage and accelerating the healing process in wounds. Materials and Methods: This type of research is an in vivo laboratory experiment with a posttest-only control group design and sample grouping using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The treatment was carried out for 5 days by applying it to the mice's backs twice a day, then on the 6th day, decapitation was carried out, taking specimens to observe the number of fibroblast cells. Results and Discussions: The research was analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. The results of the study showed that administering cloveleaf extract ointment (Syzygium Aromaticum L.) with concentrations of 3%, 6% and 9% was effective in increasing the number of fibroblast cells in the healing process of incisional wounds on the backs of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). Conclusion: Giving cloveleaf extract ointment at a concentration of 3% is more effective in increasing the number of fibroblast cells in the healing process of incisional wounds in mice compared to concentrations of 6% and 9%.

Abstract

Introduction: Professional standards for medical personnel define the competencies that medical personnel can be held accountable for when practicing medicine. The purpose of these professional standards is to ensure that medical personnel possess a minimum standard of knowledge, skills, and professional behavior, which is also used by relevant parties as a guideline, reference, basis, and guidance in regulating and fostering the medical and dental professions. However, in the cases of Supreme Court Decisions Number 1145K/Pdt/2017 and Number 365K//Pid/2012, medical personnel were faced with an emergency that forced them to perform medical procedures deemed to violate these professional standards. Method: This study uses a descriptive analytical juridical method to analyze the criminal law liability of medical personnel. Data were collected from laws, related regulations, and court decisions. Data analysis was carried out using a qualitative juridical approach. Discussion: The professional standards for doctors are regulated by the Decree of the Indonesian Medical Council Number 193/KKI/KEP/VIII/2024, and the professional standards for dentists are regulated by the Decree of the Indonesian Medical Council Number 126/KKI/KEP/III/2024. These professional standards govern medical personnel in providing healthcare services, including emergency measures. While emergencies are not explicitly stated in Article 48 of the Indonesian Criminal Code and Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), Article 33, is not explicitly stated. However, through doctrine and jurisprudence, the view has developed that emergencies are part of relative coercive power, but not psychological coercive power. Therefore, legal subjects may be faced with three conflicting options. Emergencies can be linked to Article 48 of the Indonesian Criminal Code concerning coercive power and forced circumstances, which can serve as justification and excuse. Conclusion: The liability of medical personnel for performing emergency actions and errors, if carried out in an emergency to protect the patient's life, can be grounds for eliminating criminal penalties for medical personnel and cannot be accounted for.

Abstract

Introduction: Black hairy tongue (BHT) is a benign condition characterized by discoloration and elongation of filiform papillae. Although asymptomatic, it can trap microorganisms, potentially contributing to oral dysbiosis. The pathogenesis is still unclear, but smoking, drugs, alcohol, or excessive coffee/tea consumption trigger it. Diagnosis relies on history-taking, clinical assessment, and occasionally microscopic evaluation. This case report aims to show an interesting finding in the microbiological examination of black hairy tongue. Case: A 33-year-old male smoker and coffee drinker presented with black tongue discoloration. Any medication use and a history of systemic diseases are denied, but he had a habit of smoking, staying up late, and heavy coffee consumption. Case Management: Clinical assessment and microbiological swab analysis for bacterial and fungal identification were conducted. Microbiological examination revealed the presence of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a colonizing opportunistic pathogen. Discussion: The patient reported no systemic diseases or medication use, with lifestyle factors identified as potential triggers. This case underscores the role of lifestyle factors and oral hygiene in the development of BHT and its association with microbial dysbiosis. Conclusion: The detection of K. pneumoniae emphasizes the need for microbial evaluation in persistent cases to prevent potential systemic effects.

Abstract

Introduction: Porosity often occurs after root canal treatment. Various sealers are used to close all the gaps between the root canal system and the outer surface of the tooth. The currently used root canal sealers include MTA, Ca(OH)₂, and nano chitosan (NC). The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in porosity levels of root canals treated with MTA sealer combined with Ca(OH)₂ versus MTA sealer combined with NC. Method: This study used 16 human adult incisor samples (tooth #11), divided into two groups. The first group received MTA sealer with Ca(OH)₂, and the second group received MTA sealer with NC, both applied using the thermoplastic filling technique. After treatment, the samples were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to measure porosity. Results: The porosity measurements (in micrometers, μm) for the first group (MTA with Ca(OH)₂) were: 12.24, 7.98, 9.81, 8.19, 10.85, 7.87, 8.43, and 8.96. The second group (MTA with NC) showed porosity values of: 7.73, 2.48, 6.80, 3.85, 1.32, 4.66, 3.98, and 4.22. The mean porosity in the first group was 9.29 μm, while in the second group it was 4.38 μm. Conclusion: Statistical analysis showed a t-value of 5.31 with p < 0.001, indicating a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05). This suggests that MTA sealer combined with nano chitosan results in significantly lower porosity and better root canal filling density compared to MTA sealer combined with Ca(OH)₂.

Abstract

Introduction: Halitosis is a common occurrence among people. Halitosis can be classified as genuine halitosis, where the sufferer genuinely has bad breath that can be smelled by people around them, or as delusional halitosis, where the sufferer believes that they have bad breath but it cannot be smelled by people around them. Halitosis can become a significant problem, especially when the sufferer is socializing with others, due to the anxiety that their bad breath might disturb their conversation partners. This condition can lead to poor communication skills and actions of isolation or withdrawal from others. Material & methods: This study seeks to explore the perceptions and knowledge of medical students at Universitas Katolik Atma Jaya about halitosis, as well as its impact on their anxiety levels. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the research involved 150 students from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, class of 2020–2022. Halitosis, as the independent variable, was assessed using the Halitosis Consequences Inventory (ICH), while anxiety, the dependent variable, was measured through the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42). Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient test. Results: Results of the research are 34.7% of Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Katolik Atma Jaya’s students from the class 2020-2022 experience halitosis, while 65.3% experience anxiety. 76.9% of students with halitosis also experience anxiety. The results of the Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient test indicate a weak positive correlation (rs = 0.321) that is statistically significant (p = 0.000) between halitosis and anxiety. In other words, there is a tendency that an increase in halitosis will affect the increase in anxiety levels. Conclusion Relation between halitosis and anxiety is a synergy (positive correlation).   Halitosis has a moderate positive influence on anxiety among the students of the Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Katolik Atma Jaya, class of 2020. This indicates that students experiencing halitosis are concerned about their bad breath, which affects their social communication. Therefore, the approach to treating halitosis should include both physical treatment (halitosis) and mental health care.

Abstract

Introduction: Oral and dental health problems in Indonesia continue to increase, yet the utilization rate of health services, especially in remote, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions, remains relatively low. Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) play a crucial role in providing promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative services, supported by electronic medical record systems to facilitate the analysis of patient visit patterns and morbidity. This study aims to evaluate the pattern of patient visits to the dental and oral health unit at UPTD Puskesmas Selemadeg Timur I, Megati Village, as a basis for improving the quality and effectiveness of health services. Materials and Methods: This study is descriptive quantitative research conducted at UPTD Puskesmas Selemadeg Timur I in April 2025. Data were collected from the medical records of 1,253 patients from January to December 2024 using a total sampling method. The observed variables included visit classification, payment mechanisms, gender, and 5 dominant cases based on gender. The results were analyzed and presented in tables and charts to illustrate the distribution and trends of dominant cases. Results and Discussion: There were 1,253 visits over one year, with the majority being follow-up patients (73.42%), covered by JKN (91.37%), and female patients (61.77%). The peak of visits occurred in December, influenced by the academic calendar and health promotion activities. The most common diagnosis was pulpitis (K04.0) at 43.66%, disturbances of tooth eruption (K00.6) at 22.27%, gingivitis and periodontal diseases (K05.0) at 22.11%, pulp necrosis (K04.1) at 5.91%, and periapical abscess without sinus (K04.7) at 2.39%. Conclusion: The visits were predominantly follow-up cases, involving JKN participants and female patients, with pulpitis (K04.0) being the most frequent diagnosis. The high utilization of JKN highlights the vital role of community health centers in ensuring equitable access and quality of dental healthcare services in their respective service areas.

Abstract

Introduction: Thermoplastic nylon is one of the alternative materials used for denture bases, in addition to acrylic resin. It offers good flexibility and aesthetics; however, its high water absorption makes it susceptible to microbial colonization. Sansevieria trifasciata is a herbal plant known for its antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Therefore, it has the potential to be developed as a natural denture cleanser. This study aims to determine the antifungal effect of a 40% S. trifasciata var. laurentii infusion on the growth of Candida albicans colonies on thermoplastic nylon denture base plates. Material And Methods: This in vitro experimental study used a post-test only control group design with four groups: one negative control (sterile distilled water) and three groups treated with 40% S. trifasciata infusion for 24, 48, and 72 hours. A Candida albicans suspension (1.5 × 10⁸ CFU/mL) was prepared using McFarland standard 0.5. Phytochemical screening was conducted to identify active compounds in the extract. Data were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA and LSD post hoc test (p < 0.05). Results and Discussions: Phytochemical analysis of the S. trifasciata var. laurentii extract indicated the presence of saponins, phenols, flavonoids, and alkaloids, all of which are known to exhibit antifungal activity. The descriptive analysis showed that the treatment group with 72-hour immersion had the lowest average colony count of C. albicans. Statistical analysis using One-Way ANOVA showed a significant difference among the groups (p = 0.001). LSD post hoc analysis revealed that all treatment groups differed significantly from the control group (p < 0.05). These results indicate that prolonged immersion in S. trifasciata var. laurentii infusion enhances its antifungal efficacy. The observed antifungal activity is likely related to the disruption of fungal cell membranes by the active compounds present in the extract. Conclusion: The 40% S. trifasciata var. laurentii infusion is effective in inhibiting the growth of C. albicans on thermoplastic nylon denture base plates. The most significant antifungal effect was observed with a 72-hour immersion duration.
