Abstract

Introduction: Dental health plays an important role, especially in child development, because dental problems in early childhood can affect tooth growth in the future. Cavities, which in medical terms are called dental caries, are one of the diseases that often occur in the teeth and mouth. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 60 to 90 percent of children in schools around the world experience tooth decay. Information from the Indonesian Dentists Association shows that at least 89 percent of cases of dental caries occur in young children. For this reason, the role of parents is needed in this case to prevent cavities in children. Review: Cavities are a condition in which the outermost to the deepest layer of the teeth (damaged by microorganisms that can ferment carbohydrates, resulting in acidic oral conditions. Parents have a very important role in maintaining the health of their children's teeth and mouths. A study shows that psychological and social factors of parents, such as maternal depression, low communication between family members, excessive attention, and stress, can harm children's oral health. Conclusion: Oral health is a public health issue that must be addressed immediately before the problem becomes more serious. Dental health plays an important role, especially in child development, because dental disorders at an early age can affect tooth growth in the future.

Abstract

Introduction: Oral bad habits are habits that occur in the oral cavity that can cause abnormal tooth growth and development. Dental and oral health education is the first step in increasing children's knowledge and awareness of maintaining dental and oral health. The educational game of Snakes and Ladders can help children more easily understand and comprehend the knowledge they have acquired in an interesting way. Materials and Methods: This study is a pre-experimental study using a one-group pretest-posttest design with simple random sampling. Data collection was conducted by administering a questionnaire while playing the Snakes and Ladders game to fifth-grade students at SDN 10 Sungai Sapih Padang with four interventions. Results and Discussion: The sample size in this study was 21 students. The results showed that the average knowledge of students increased from 30% to 100% after the educational Snakes and Ladders game intervention.  Conclusion: From the research results, it can be concluded that the use of the educational snake and ladder game can influence knowledge about oral bad habits among fifth-grade students at SDN 10 Sungai Sapih Padang (p=0.000).

Abstract

Introduction: Extraction is the act of extracting teeth and tooth roots from sockets involving bone tissue and soft tissue in the oral cavity. The ideal tooth extraction is the extraction of an intact tooth or root without causing pain. There are two types of tooth extraction techniques in dentistry, namely the open method and the closed method. Tooth extraction with the open method technique is carried out because many parts of the crown structure are missing, so that the tooth cannot be held using pliers or other instruments, which makes it difficult for the tooth to be extracted. In young patients with cases of buried root residual teeth, extraction can be done using the open method technique. Case: A 47-year-old female patient came to RSGM Saraswati Denpasar with a complaint that her upper right jaw tooth only had a root left and wanted to be extracted immediately, and wanted to have a denture. Objective examination of the patient's physical condition is good, with blood pressure 125/88 mmHg. Intraoral examination showed that there were remaining roots 16. Radiographic examination found the remaining roots from tooth 16, which were clinically invisible. Case Management: Case management with extractions of teeth 16 with local anesthesia, accompanied by alveoloplasty, was performed in the Minor Oral Surgery Unit of Saraswati Dental Hospital, Denpasar. Conclusion: Minor surgical treatment in hypertensive patients can be done by considering the patient's medical history, so it can ensure the right modification for safe tooth extraction.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of dental caries in children remains high in Indonesia. Primary teeth are particularly vulnerable to caries, yet parental awareness of children's oral health is often insufficient. As a result, children with caries often do not receive proper treatment. It is unfortunate when caries occur  at an early age. This study aims  to describe the occurrence of dental caries and the need for dental treatment in early childhood. Material and Methods: This study utilized a descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional approach, which involved  52 children, aged 3 to 5 years. Dental caries were assessed using the def-t index, while treatment needs were evaluated with the Required Treatment Index (RTI). The data collected were analyzed descriptively and further examined using the Mann-Whitney and Spearman's rank correlation test. Results and Discussions: The prevalence of dental caries in children was 57.69%, with an average def-t score of 2.62. Caries were most commonly found in the upper jaw, particularly affecting the primary first incisors, followed by the primary molars. The treatment needs index (RTI) was 99.26%, indicating that most carious teeth were left untreated, requiring dental treatment. There was no significant caries difference between boys and girls (p > 0.05). However, a significant correlation was found between age and caries frequency (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The average caries rate in primary teeth falls within the low category. However, nearly all affected teeth require treatment. Among children aged 3 to 5 years, caries prevalence tends to increase with age, and no difference between boys and girls.

Abstract

Introduction: People with mental illness often have poor physical health, and this issue has received a lot of attention. However, there has been less focus on the connection between oral health and physical health. This article discusses how oral and mental health are connected. Review: Dental treatment can cause anxiety and phobias. At the same time, many psychiatric disorders, such as severe mental illness, eating disorders, and depression, can lead to dental disease. These include things like caries, periodontitis, and canker sores. Psychotropic drugs, like antidepressants and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications, can also cause oral health problems. Many people who get dental work do so while taking these kinds of drugs.  Some of these drugs can cause problems like bruxism (grinding teeth), orofacial dystonia (muscle spasms in the face), oromandibular dyskinesia (uncontrollable movement of the jaw), and rabbit syndrome. These are all related to the way these drugs interact with dopamine receptors in the brain. Furthermore, other pharmaceuticals have been observed to induce xerostomia, a condition characterised by the absence of saliva in the oral cavity. Consequently, patients may be susceptible to infections, including candidiasis, if they do not receive adequate oral hydration. Conclusions: Some potential solutions have been suggested, ranging from the utilisation of standard oral health checklists completed by non-dental personnel to the management of dry mouth induced by medications, and the early referral of patients to dentists.

Abstract

Introduction: Plaque is a transparent layer that requires a coloring agent in the form of a disclosing agent to visualize it. Erythrosine, as one of the frequently used disclosing agents, has potential toxic side effects if used in the long term. Therefore, this study aims to compare the effectiveness of color absorption between tablets based on extracts and fractions of mangosteen fruit peel (Garcinia mangostana L.) with erythrosine as a control. Materials and Methods: This study employed a laboratory experimental design with a post-test-only controlled group design. A total of 36 healthy dental samples were divided into 9 groups, which were soaked in saliva for 8, 24, and 48 hours. After plaque formation, tablets of extracts, mangosteen peel fractions, and erythrosine were applied to the teeth. Results and Discussion: The results of analysis using the One-way ANOVA test showed that erythrosine tablets had significantly higher color absorption than the extract and mangosteen peel fraction tablets. Conclusion: Erythrosine is still a more effective option in highlighting dental plaque, but mangosteen peel-based tablets can be a safer natural alternative with potential for further development. Further research is recommended to optimize the formulation of mangosteen peel tablets to improve their effectiveness and convenience in clinical applications.

Abstract

Introduction: wounds in the oral cavity are at high risk of infection because of the large number of normal flora in the oral cavity that can be opportunistic, one of which is Staphylococcus aureus. Wound care is crucial, particularly the use of medications or materials that can aid in accelerating wound healing. One of the plants that can be used to heal wounds is the banana tree sap. The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of banana tree sap extract on collagen density in wound healing of Wistar rats infected with Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Materials and Methods: This study is a laboratory experimental study conducted in vivo with a post-test only control group design, using 24 rats divided into four groups. Namely, the negative control group, the group that was given the banana tree sap extract gel at concentrations of 30%, 40%, and 50%. The in vivo test involved creating an incision wound in Wistar rats and subsequently infecting them with Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The wound was then treated with gel extract twice daily. On the 7th day, specimens were decapitated to observe collagen density. The research data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, followed by the Games-Howell post hoc test. Results and Discussion: The administration of banana tree sap extract was effective in the wound healing process, as evidenced by an increase in collagen density in the treatment at all concentrations. The increase in collagen density is due to the banana tree sap extract gel containing active substances, namely flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and alkaloids, which have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial roles, ward off free radicals, and stimulate collagen formation. Conclusion: 50% concentration of banana tree sap extract gel was more effective in increasing collagen density in the incision wound of Wistar rats infected with Staphylococcus aureus than concentrations of 30% and 40%.

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontitis, with a fairly high prevalence in the world, drives the need for periodontal treatment. Adjuvant therapy is needed in curettage treatment in periodontitis patients to accelerate the wound healing process. Moringa leaf extract and kecemcem tree bark have efficacious content as antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and wound healing properties. This study aims to determine the difference in the effect of 15% moringa leaf extract gel and 70% kecemcem tree bark on gingival angiogenesis in Wistar rats after curettage with periodontitis conditions. Materials and Methods: Wistar rats were divided into four groups: negative control (CMC-Na), positive control (hyaluronic acid), moringa leaf treatment, and kecemcem tree bark treatment. Periodontal pockets were induced by tying a silk thread to the mandibular incisors, then curettage was performed with a Sub-Zero curette (Osung). The mice were applied with gel types according to the group, then sacrificed on days 3, 5, and 7. Histological preparations were made for observation in three different fields of view using a light microscope with a magnification of 400x. Results and Discussion: The Average amount of angiogenesis in the kecemcem tree bark treatment group was higher than in all treatment groups. LSD results showed that there was a significant difference (p<0.05) between all treatment groups. Kecemcem tree bark gave higher results in increasing the amount of angiogenesis due to significant differences in concentration and the high content of β-sitosterol, which affects angiogenesis. Conclusion: There is a difference in the effect of 15% moringa leaf extract gel and 70% kecemcem tree bark on gingival angiogenesis in post-curettage Wistar rats with periodontitis conditions. Application of 70% kecemcem tree bark extract gel gave a better effect in increasing the amount of gingival angiogenesis in Wistar rats after curettage with periodontitis conditions.

Abstract

Introduction: Sex identification is an important first step in the forensic identification process because it can find a 50% probability of match in identifying individuals and can influence several other examination methods. The mandible is one of the facial bones that shows fairly clear sexual dimorphism. Mandibular morphometric analysis is often used in anthropology and forensic medicine to aid in sex identification. Material and Methods: A total of 62 panoramic radiographs consisting of 29 males and 33 females aged 15-25 years and of Javanese ethnicity were analyzed to determine the differences in the mandibular ramus index and mandibular gonial index variables between males and females using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results and Discussions: The results of the analysis showed significant differences in mandibular ramus height (p<0.05) and mandibular corpus length (p<0.05), with higher values in males than in females. Meanwhile, other variables such as the gonial angle, ramus width, anterior mandibular body height, and coronoid height did not show significant differences between the sexes (p>0.05). Conclusion: There are significant differences between the height of the mandibular ramus and the length of the mandibular body in males compared to females. Thus, the results of this study support previous findings that mandibular linear parameters can be used as reliable indicators in identifying.

Abstract

Introduction: Palatal rugae are unique, anatomically stable ridges in the oral cavity that serve as reliable markers for forensic identification and genetic research. The Minangkabau ethnic group, known for its matrilineal kinship system, to provides a unique context to for exploring the hereditary transmission of such traits. This study aimed to examine the morphological similarities and differences in palatal rugae patterns between biological mothers and their daughters within the Minangkabau ethnic group in Padang City, Indonesia. Material and Methods: An analytical cross-sectional design was employed involving 53 mother-daughter pairs of confirmed Minangkabau descent. Intraoral digital scans were used to record rugae patterns which were categorized by shape and size based on established classifications. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test to assess intergenerational associations. Results and Discussion: Primary and secondary rugae patterns showed strong morphological similarities between mothers and daughters, indicating heritability. Notably, the wave-shaped rugae pattern was significantly more prevalent in daughters (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Palatal rugae patterns, particularly primary and secondary types, demonstrate maternal inheritance and have potential forensic relevance. The presence of unique ethnic-specific traits underscores the need for broader population-based classifications in forensic odontology and antropology
