Abstract

Introduction: The increasing life expectancy in Indonesia, including  Denpasar City, has led to a growing elderly population. Older adults are vulnerable to various health problems, including tooth loss. This condition can impair chewing function, affect facial aesthetics, and ultimately reduce the quality of life. Dentures are a commonly used solution; however, their use among the elderly remains low. Therefore, it is important to explore the factors influencing the interest in using dentures. Material and Methods: This study was a qualitative research including a descriptive exploratory approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 older adults from five community units (banjar) in Denpasar City, selected purposively. Data were analyzed thematically using the Hanlon method, which considers the magnitude of the problem,  seriousness of the impact,  effectiveness of the solution, and feasibility of implementation, to assess and prioritize the factors contributing to the low interest in denture use. Results and Discussions: Six main themes were identified as influencing the low interest in denture use: passive acceptance of tooth loss as a natural part of aging, limited access due to lack of transportation or assistance, (3) low knowledge about the benefits of dentures, discomfort during use, perception of high costs, and ignorance of the Indonesian health insurance coverage. Conclusion: The low interest in denture use among older adults is influenced by psychosocial, structural, and educational factors. Educational interventions, provision of mobile health services, and culturally sensitive, community-based approaches are needed to improve denture utilization among older adults.

Abstract

Introduction: Gingival wounds are injuries in the oral cavity that may be caused by various factors such as trauma, infection, and periodontal disease. The wound healing process involves the activation of multiple immune cells, including lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are one of the three main types of phagocytic cells in the immune system and play a vital role in both innate and adaptive immunity, being widely distributed throughout body tissues. One potential alternative material that may accelerate wound healing is the leaf of Ziziphus spina-christi L. (Arab Bidara), which is known to contain several secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, and lipids, with wound-healing properties. This study is to investigate the effect of Arab Bidara leaf extract gel on lymphocyte count in gingival incision wounds of male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). Materials and methods: This study was a randomized posttest-only control group experimental design. A total of 30 male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: a control group receiving Gengigel®, a placebo group, and a treatment group administered Arab Bidara (Ziziphus spina-christi L.) leaf extract gel. The gel was applied topically in the oral cavity for six consecutive days. Observations were conducted on days 3 and 5. Results and Discussion: The results showed an increase in lymphocyte count on day 3 and a significant decrease in lymphocyte count on day 5 in the treatment group. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the administration of Arab Bidara leaf extract gel has an effect on reducing lymphocyte count and is effective in accelerating gingival wound healing.

Abstract

Introduction: Tourette syndrome (TS) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics, often accompanied by neurobehavioral and psychiatric comorbidities such as anxiety and depression. Morsicatio buccarum (chronic cheek biting) and morsicatio linguarum (chronic tongue biting) are oral mucosal lesions primarily caused by recurrent self-inflicted trauma, frequently associated with psychological factors like anxiety or stress. While self-harming behaviors, including tongue and cheek biting, are observed in TS patients, the specific manifestation of morsicatio buccarum and linguarum as an associated feature in TS remains under-documented. This case report aims to highlight a compelling connection between morsicatio buccarum and linguarum and Tourette syndrome, particularly in the context of stress and anxiety, which can exacerbate both tics and oral parafunctional habits. Case: A 22-year-old male with a diagnosed history of Tourette syndrome presented with white linear elevations on the bilateral buccal mucosa and rough surfaces on the lateral borders of the bilateral tongue, which he had been aware of since elementary school. Intraoral examination confirmed diagnoses of morsicatio buccarum and morsicatio linguarum. Case Management: The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) questionnaire was administered to assess psychological factors, which indicated severe depression and anxiety, and moderate stress. The patient received comprehensive communication, instruction, and education regarding his conditions. Conclusion: This case suggests that morsicatio buccarum and linguarum can be a behavioral manifestation or co-occurring condition.

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease that leads to progressive destruction of the gingiva, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. This is due to a dysbiotic oral microbiome that triggers an exaggerated host immune response. Preclinical rat models are indispensable in periodontal research, allowing for controlled investigations of disease mechanisms and therapeutic interventions. Review: This review examines three widely used rat models of experimental periodontitis, including ligature-induced, oral bacterial inoculation, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. The ligature-induced model is favored for its rapid and reproducible induction of localized inflammation and bone loss, although mechanical trauma may confound the microbial effects. Oral inoculation with pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis simulates natural infections and chronic progression, offering greater biological relevance. The LPS model provides a controlled inflammatory stimulus that facilitates the study of host immune pathways and cytokine expression; however, it lacks microbial complexity. Recent studies have explored the combination of ligature and LPS methods to synergistically intensify inflammation and bone loss, thereby improving model robustness for therapeutic evaluation. Conclusion: Each animal model offers specific benefits for studying periodontitis development and treatment. Although these models have certain limitations, ongoing improvements in research methods will increase their relevance to human health. Advances in technology, imaging, and microbiological techniques are expected to improve the accuracy and usefulness of these models. These developments will enhance our understanding of the disease and contribute to the discovery of more effective and targeted treatment options for periodontitis.

Abstract

Introduction: Currently, every country in the world is experiencing a growing older adults population, both in number and proportion. The aging process in older adults is parallel to a decline in numerous physiological functions, including oral function. Older adults who encounter decreased oral function are likely to manifest symptoms such as impaired articulation, episodes of choking during eating, and an increase in the amount of food they cannot chew. Recent research reports that decreased oral function may affect brain function and trigger the onset of cognitive decline. This article review aims to explores the connections between oral function and cognitive function in older adults. Review: Today’s view of oral health is more than the number of teeth present and whether or not oral hygiene is sufficient but also includes the ability to perform functions such as mastication, tongue and lip motor skills, salivary secretion and swallowing. Decreased oral function has led to the concept of oral frailty which characterized by a gradual decline in oral functions such as chewing, swallowing, tongue pressure, and oral motor skills. Initially proposed by Tanaka, oral frailty is now recognized not merely as a dental issue but as a potential early marker of broader systemic decline, including cognitive impairment. Conclusion: Decreased oral function could also be causative factor for the onset of cognitive decline in older adults.

Abstract

Introduction: Enterococcus faecalis is a major cause of root canal treatment failure due to its resistance to conventional medicaments such as calcium hydroxide. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effect of red betel leaf (Piper crocatum) extract at concentrations of 10% and 15% against E. faecalis. Materials and Methods: A true experimental design with a post-test only control group was used. Samples were divided into four groups: Piper crocatum 10% and 15%, positive control (10% Ca(OH)₂), and negative control (sterile aquadest). Antibacterial activity was tested using the agar diffusion method, measuring inhibition zone diameters. Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test. Results and Discussions: The results showed that both concentrations inhibited E. faecalis, with 15% producing greater inhibition than 10%, while Ca(OH)₂ remained the most effective. Conclusion: It can be concluded that Piper crocatum extract over 10% percentage has potential as a herbal alternative for intracanal medicament in root canal therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: Wound healing requires a complex process, involving biocellular and biochemical responses, as well as the formation of new tissue to restore bodily functions such as fibroblast production. Clove leaves (Syzygium aromaticum) contain active compounds such as tannins, flavonoids, and eugenol, which can help reduce inflammation and support new tissue formation. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a 3% clove leaf extract ointment combined with Sodium saccharin. Material and Methods: This was an in vivo experimental study using a post-test only control group design. Thirty male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) aged 2-3 months with a body weight of 150-200 grams were randomly selected. The samples were divided into three treatment groups, namely negative control (Adeps lanae and Vaseline album), positive control (Enbatic ointment), and treatment group (3% clove leaf extract ointment with Sodium saccharin). An incision was made on the back of each rat, and then they were given treatment for 7 days. The number of fibroblasts was observed using a microscope with hematoxylin-eosin staining. Data analysis used a one-way ANOVA test. Results and Discussions: Administration of 3% clove leaf extract ointment with Sodium saccharin can increase the number of fibroblasts compared to negative controls and positive controls. The results of the ANOVA analysis showed a significant difference between the treatment group, positive control, and negative control (p < 0.05). This means that the ointment formulation provides better results in supporting wound healing compared to the control treatment. Sodium saccharin increases the comfort of using the ointment, also showing that its effectiveness is not significantly different compared to 3% clove leaf extract ointment without addition. Conclusion: A concentration 3% of clove leaf extract (Syzygium aromaticum) ointment supplemented with Sodium saccharin is more effective in increasing the number of fibroblast cells.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental caries continues to be a major oral health problem among preschool children. The decayed, missing, and filled teeth (dmf-t) index is widely used as an indicator to assess caries status in this population. Gender has been suggested as a factor that may influence both the prevalence and severity of dental caries. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine and compare the dmf-t index among preschool children according to gender. Material and Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design with a purposively selected sample of 31 preschool children. Dental caries was assessed using the dmf-t index. Data were analyzed descriptively, and comparative analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney test. Results and Discussions: The results showed that the prevalence of dental caries among preschool children was 67.74%, with a mean caries score of 3.55 ± 4.06 falls within the moderate category. The prevalence of dental caries was higher in girls compared to boys (69.23% : 66.67%), whereas the mean caries score was higher in boys (4.39 ± 4.90 : 2.38 ± 2.14). Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference in the dmf-t index between boys and girls. Conclusion: Gender did not show a significant difference in caries experience. although the prevalence of dental caries was higher among girls, the mean caries experience was greater in boys.

Abstract

Introduction: Untreated caries is one of the oral diseases that poses a significant burden in Indonesia. The perceived need for people to receive dental treatment is influenced by sociodemographic, economic, environmental, and healthcare service factors. The purpose of this study was to determine sociodemographic factors towards untreated caries and dental fillings in Indonesia, and then visualize them in geospatial mapping. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study used secondary data from Basic Health Research 2018. A sample was 14.031 subjects, then classified based on WHO age group and sociodemographic factors. As gender, residence, educational level, employment status, and frequency of dental visits as independent variables. Then, the number of untreated caries and fillings is the dependent variable. The bivariate analysis was used to determine different factors. QGIS was used to visualize dependent variables in 26 provinces in Indonesia. Results and Discussions: There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in the 35-44 years age group between females, rural residents, those with no schooling, and informal workers concerning untreated caries. Meanwhile, females, urban residents, college diploma holders, formal workers, and those with dental visits showed a tendency toward dental fillings. This result closely aligns with overlay mapping geospatial analysis. Conclusion: Sociodemographic characteristics had an impact on untreated caries and dental fillings, and should be considered to find out comprehensive strategies to improve oral health care.

Abstract

Introduction: Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is a musculoskeletal disorder that involves the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscles, with symptoms such as pain, clicking sounds, and limited jaw movement. The etiology of TMD was multifactorial, one of which was Forward Head Posture (FHP), often triggered by poor body posture due to prolonged sitting, as in online gamers. This study aimed to determine the relationship between body posture (FHP) and Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) in online gamers in Cimahi. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on online gamers in the Cimahi area using consecutive sampling techniques, resulting in 35 online gamers who met the inclusion criteria. The Subjects were asked to complete the FAI questionnaire to assess TMD, and CVA measurements were taken to evaluate the FHP. Results and Discussions: A total of 51.4% of subjects were identified as experiencing mild TMD, and 54.3% had mild FHP. Spearman’s correlation test yielded p = 0.449 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant difference. Conclusions: Online gamers with a CVA ≤ 50, indicating mild FHP, were also identified as experiencing mild TMD.
