Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: The World Health Organization shown that malocclusion is the third most prevalent disorder in the oral cavity, behind dental caries and periodontitis which occupy the top two ranks. The prevalence of malocclusion in the North and Central areas of Banjarmasin was reported to be 83.7%. One of the factors contributing to the high prevalence of malocclusion was the habit of mouth breathing, which could affect craniofacial growth and development and increase the risk of malocclusion, especially during the mixed dentition period. Objective: to analyze the relationship between mouth breathing habits and orthodontic treatment needs during the mixed dentition period among students of SD Negeri Sungai Andai 4 Banjarmasin. Method: This research employed a cross-sectional technique within an analytic observational framework. The sample consisted of 56 respondents selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through clinical examinations, the valid and reliable MBD-MBS questionnaire (α = 0.871), and orthodontic treatment need assessment using the IOTN-DHC index. Result The results showed that the most common breathing category was Complete Mouth Breather (CMB) (53.6%), predominantly among females (60.0%). Orthodontic treatment needs were most commonly found in the moderate treatment need category (28.6%). Statistical analysis revealed a positive association of very high strength (r = 0.833) that was statistically meaningful (p < 0.001) between mouth breathing habits and orthodontic treatment needs. Conclusion: Mouth breathing habits contributed to increased orthodontic treatment needs in children during the mixed dentition period. Therefore, early detection was needed to maintain oral health and the general condition of children.Keywords: IOTN-DHC, Malocclusion, Mixed dentition, Mouth breathing, Orthodontic treatment need  ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: World Health Organization menunjukkan bahwa dari seluruh gangguan yang sering terjadi di rongga mulut, maloklusi menempati posisi ketiga terbanyak, sementara dua posisi di atasnya ditempati oleh karies gigi dan periodontitis. Prevalensi maloklusi di Kota Banjarmasin wilayah Utara dan Tengah tercatat sebesar 83,7%. Tingginya kejadian maloklusi salah satunya disebabkan kebiasaan mouth breathing yang dapat memengaruhi pertumbuhan dan perkembangan kraniofasial sehingga meningkatkan risiko terjadinya maloklusi, terutama pada periode gigi campuran. Tujuan: Menganalisis hubungan kebiasaan buruk bernapas melalui mulut dan kebutuhan perawatan ortodonti pada periode gigi bercampur pada siswa SDN Sungai Andai 4 Banjarmasin. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan observasional analitik dengan metode potong lintang (cross-sectional). Sampel berjumlah 56 responden, yang diambil melalui teknik simple random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui pemeriksaan klinis, kuesioner MBD-MBS yang valid dan reliabel (α = 0,871), serta penilaian kebutuhan perawatan ortodonti menggunakan IOTN-DHC. Hasil: Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kategori bernapas yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah Complete Mouth Breather (CMB) (53,6%), pada perempuan (60,0%). Hasil kebutuhan perawatan ortodonti paling banyak ditemukan pada kategori cukup membutuhkan perawatan ortodonti (28,6%). Terdapat asosiasi positif berkekuatan sangat tinggi yang bermakna antara kebiasaan bernapas melalui mulut dan kebutuhan perawatan ortodonti (r = 0,833; p < 0,001).

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is a major oral health problem with a prevalence of 43.44% in Indonesia. Commonly used remineralizing agents such as CPP-ACP may trigger allergic reactions in patients with Cow's Milk Allergy (CMA). A combined gel of haruan fish scale chitosan (Channa striata) and hydroxyapatite was developed as a safe and effective alternative remineralization agent. Objective: To analyze the effect of combined gel of haruan fish scale chitosan (Channa striata) and hydroxyapatite on enamel Crystallinity Index (CI) as an indicator of remineralization potential. Methods: A true experimental laboratory study was conducted using 12 maxillary first premolar samples divided into four groups: negative control, combined gel of 5% chitosan and 10% hydroxyapatite, combined gel of 10% chitosan and 10% hydroxyapatite, and positive control (CPP-ACP). Demineralization was performed with 37% phosphoric acid for 15 seconds. CI was measured using ATR-FTIR. Data were analyzed using One Way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. Results: The highest CI was observed in the 10% chitosan and 10% hydroxyapatite group (mean 4.18±0.76), followed by 5% chitosan and 10% hydroxyapatite (2.94±0.16), CPP-ACP (2.57±0.37), and the lowest in the negative control (1.62±0.43). One Way ANOVA revealed statistically significant differences between groups (p=0.003). Conclusion: The combined gel of haruan fish scale chitosan (Channa striata) and hydroxyapatite significantly increased enamel Crystallinity Index compared to the untreated group. The combination of 10% chitosan and 10% hydroxyapatite demonstrated the highest CI improvement, surpassing CPP-ACP, indicating its potential as an alternative topical remineralizing agent in preventive dentistry.Keywords : Channa striata fish scale chitosan, Crystallinity Index, demineralization, enamel remineralization, hydroxyapatite.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Developing oral hygiene skills through oral health education is part of the sustainable development agenda that emphasizes the creation of healthy lives and well-being across all age groups. In children aged 10–12 years, proper tooth-brushing practices are still inadequate; in Banjarmasin, the proportion was recorded at only 7.7%. The situation at SDN SN Pasar Lama 3 also demonstrates the need for intervention, as 67% of students were found to have caries. Objective: To assess the effect of movement- and song-based education on tooth-brushing skills in children aged 10–12 years at SDN SN Pasar Lama 3 Banjarmasin. Method: This study was conducted with a pre-experimental design using one group that was observed before and after the intervention. The number of participants was 134 people, who were determined using a simple randomized technique. Tooth-brushing skills were assessed using an observation sheet based on the Fones technique in two measurement stages, namely before and after the educational activity was carried out. Statistical analysis began with a normality test using K-S, followed by a Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: The mean toothbrushing skill score increased form 61,06 before the dance and song based educational to 87,65 after the intervention. This improvement was statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: Dental health education packaged through movement and song activities can be considered as a strategic option in oral health promotion to strengthen elementary school children's ability to brush their teeth properly.Keywords : , Dance, Oral Health Education, Singing, Sustainable Development Goals, Toothbrushing. ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Pembinaan kemampuan menjaga kebersihan gigi melalui edukasi kesehatan mulut merupakan bagian dari agenda pembangunan berkelanjutan yang menekankan terciptanya kehidupan sehat dan kesejahteraan pada seluruh kelompok umur. Pada kelompok anak 10–12 tahun, praktik penyikatan gigi yang dilakukan secara tepat masih belum memadai; di Banjarmasin, proporsinya tercatat hanya 7,7%. Keadaan di SDN SN Pasar Lama 3 juga memperlihatkan perlunya intervensi, karena 67% peserta didik ditemukan mengalami karies. Tujuan: Menilai pengaruh edukasi berbasis gerak dan lagu terhadap kemampuan penyikatan gigi pada anak berumur 10–12 tahun di SDN SN Pasar Lama 3 Banjarmasin. Metode: Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan rancangan pra-eksperimen menggunakan satu kelompok yang diamati sebelum serta setelah intervensi diberikan. Jumlah partisipan sebanyak 134 orang, yang ditentukan melalui teknik acak sederhana. Kemampuan penyikatan gigi dinilai memakai lembar observasi berdasarkan teknik Fones pada dua tahap pengukuran, yaitu sebelum dan sesudah kegiatan edukatif dilakukan. Analisis statistik diawali dengan pengujian kenormalan menggunakan K-S, kemudian diteruskan dengan uji jenjang bertanda Wilcoxon. Hasil: Rata-rata keterampilan menyikat gigi sebelum diberikan penyuluhan dengan metode menari dan bernyanyi adalah 61,06 dan setelah penyuluhan meningkat menjadi 87,65.Peningkatan tersebut terbukti bermakna secara statistik (p<0,001).

Abstract

Background: Dental caries and malocclusion remain common oral health problems among school-aged children. Irregular tooth arrangement may hinder effective oral hygiene practices, resulting in greater plaque retention and an increased likelihood of dental caries. However, evidence regarding the association between these two conditions in Banjar ethnic children is still limited. Objective: To determine the relationship between the severity of malocclusion and caries status among Banjar ethnic students aged 11–12 years at SDN Sungai Andai 4, Banjarmasin City. Methods: An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 45 students selected through purposive sampling. Malocclusion severity was assessed using the Dental Health Component (DHC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN), while caries status was evaluated using the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMF-T) index. The association between the variables was analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. Results: The most frequently observed level of malocclusion severity was IOTN-DHC Grade 2, identified in 16 participants (35.6%). Displacement was the predominant malocclusion component, occurring in 28 cases (62.2%). The population DMF-T score was 0.69, indicating a very low caries category. Spearman’s correlation analysis demonstrated a statistically significant association between malocclusion severity and caries status (p = 0.001), with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.571, indicating a moderate positive relationship. Conclusion: The findings demonstrated a significant association between malocclusion severity and caries status among Banjar ethnic children aged 11–12 years at SDN Sungai Andai 4. Children with more severe malocclusion tended to exhibit higher caries status.Keywords: Banjar ethnic group, caries status, DMF-T, IOTN-DHC, malocclusion ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Karies dan maloklusi masih menjadi permasalahan kesehatan gigi yang sering dijumpai pada anak usia sekolah. Susunan gigi yang tidak teratur dapat menyulitkan pembersihan rongga mulut sehingga meningkatkan retensi plak dan berpotensi meningkatkan risiko karies. Informasi mengenai hubungan kedua kondisi tersebut pada anak Suku Banjar masih terbatas. Tujuan: Menganalisis hubungan antara tingkat keparahan maloklusi dengan status karies pada siswa Suku Banjar usia 11–12 tahun di SDN Sungai Andai 4 Kota Banjarmasin. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 45 siswa yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Tingkat keparahan maloklusi diukur menggunakan Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) komponen Dental Health Component (DHC), sedangkan status karies dinilai menggunakan indeks DMF-T. Analisis hubungan dilakukan menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman. Hasil: Tingkat keparahan maloklusi yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah IOTN-DHC tingkatan 2 sebanyak 16 responden (35,6%). Komponen maloklusi yang paling dominan adalah Displacement sebanyak 28 kasus (62,2%). Nilai DMF-T populasi sebesar 0,69 yang termasuk kategori sangat rendah. Hasil uji korelasi Spearman menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat keparahan maloklusi dan status karies (p = 0,001) dengan koefisien korelasi r = 0,571 yang menunjukkan hubungan positif dengan kekuatan sedang. Kesimpulan: Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, ditemukan adanya hubungan yang bermakna antara tingkat keparahan maloklusi dan status karies pada anak Suku Banjar usia 11–12 tahun di SDN Sungai Andai 4. Individu yang memiliki maloklusi lebih berat cenderung menunjukkan status karies yang lebih tinggi. Kata Kunci: DMF-T, IOTN-DHC, maloklusi, status karies, Suku Banjar.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Diametral tensile strength is an important factor in determining the durability of composite resin materials. A reduction in diametral tensile strength increases the risk of fracture and cracking. The incorporation of natural fibers as fiber-reinforced composites (FRC) has been reported to improve the mechanical properties of composite resins. Bemban fiber (Donax canniformis), a plant native to South Kalimantan, contains cellulose and lignin that may enhance the strength of composite resin. Objective: To determine the differences in diametral tensile strength of nanohybrid composite resin reinforced with 10%, 15%, and 20% bemban fiber by volume weight. Method: This true experimental study employed a posttest-only design. Thirty-five samples were divided into five groups: composite resin without fiber reinforcement (negative control), composite resin reinforced with 10%, 15%, and 20% bemban fiber, and composite resin reinforced with polyethylene synthetic fiber (positive control) (n=7 per group). Diametral tensile strength was measured using a Universal Testing Machine. Data were analyzed using normality, homogeneity, One-Way ANOVA, and Bonferroni post hoc tests. Results: Differences in diametral tensile strength were observed among the groups. The highest mean value was found in the 15% bemban fiber group. A significant difference was identified between the 15% bemban fiber group and the group without bemban fiber reinforcement, while differences among the other groups were not statistically significant. Conclusion: There was a difference in the diametral tensile strength of nanohybrid composite resin with the addition of bemban fiber, with the optimal value observed in the 15% bemban fiber group. Keywords: Bemban fiber, Diametral tensile strength, Donax canniformis, fiber reinforced composite, nanohybrid composite resin.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Children in primary school are often exposed to tooth and gum disorders because their understanding of proper daily care practices remains inadequate. One strategy for strengthening this understanding is the delivery of Dental Health Education (DHE) through learning tools that are visually appealing, simple, and suitable for children’s cognitive level. Compact illustrated handbooks and sequential visual charts may assist educators in presenting dental care messages in a clearer and more engaging manner. Objective: This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of DHE delivered through an illustrated handbook and a sequential visual chart at fourth-grade learners MI Alfurqan Banjarmasin. Methods: A quasi-experimental approach with a Pretest-Posttest control group format was applied in this research. Sampling was carried out through a simple random procedure, resulting in 76 participants who were assigned into two intervention groups: one group received education using an illustrated handbook, while the other received education using a sequential visual chart. Data were obtained through a 15-question instrument measuring dental care comprehension, administered before and after the educational session. Results: The findings showed that participants’ scores increased after the educational intervention in both groups. The use of the illustrated handbook and the sequential visual chart produced comparable improvements, indicating that each medium was effective in enhancing pupils’ understanding of dental and mouth care. Conclusion: Illustrated handbooks and sequential visual charts may serve as practical learning alternatives in school-based Dental Health Education activities, particularly for strengthening elementary learners’ comprehension of proper dental and mouth care practices. Keywords: comprehension, dental care education, illustrated handbook, mouth hygiene, visual chart  ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Peserta didik pada jenjang dasar masih berisiko mengalami gangguan pada area mulut karena pemahaman mereka tentang cara merawat gigi secara benar belum optimal. Upaya edukatif dapat diberikan melalui penyuluhan perawatan gigi dengan bantuan sarana belajar yang sederhana, menarik, dan sesuai dengan kemampuan berpikir anak. Buku saku bergambar dan lembar balik visual menjadi dua media cetak yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk menyampaikan pesan perawatan gigi secara lebih jelas kepada anak. Tujuan: Penelitian ini diarahkan untuk membandingkan efektivitas penyuluhan perawatan gigi menggunakan buku saku bergambar dan lembar balik visual terhadap bertambahnya pemahaman anak kelas IV MI Alfurqan Banjarmasin.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: A removable partial denture is a denture designed to replace one or several missing teeth, supported by the surrounding tissues and the remaining natural teeth as abutments. In the fabrication of removable partial dentures, several cases may be encountered, one of which is anterior crossbite. In cases of anterior crossbite, this condition is classified as dental Class I malocclusion, in which there is a normal anteroposterior relationship between the maxilla and mandible, where the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first permanent molar is located in the buccal groove of the mandibular first permanent molar, while the anterior teeth are abnormal, such as crowding, tooth rotation, tooth inclination, spacing, or crossbite. In addition, the suitability of tooth color, shape, and size must be considered so that the final result appears natural and functions optimally. Objective: To determine the fabrication procedure of an acrylic resin removable partial denture in a case of anterior crossbite. Case: A pair of maxillary and mandibular working models was received from the dentist with missing teeth 11, 14, 15, 21, 24, and 25 in a case of anterior crossbite. Conclusion: The fabrication procedure of a removable partial denture in a case of anterior crossbite begins with design preparation, surveying, blockout, denture outline preparation, fabrication of the base plate and bite rim, mounting on an articulator, clasp fabrication, and arrangement of artificial teeth. In cases of anterior crossbite, the artificial teeth are arranged by advancing the incisal portion labially so that the occlusion with the opposing teeth becomes a slight edge-to-edge relationship, followed by flasking, wax elimination, acrylic processing, deflasking, finishing, and polishing. Keywords : Acrylic resin, Anterior crossbite,Rremovable partial dentureABSTRAK  Latar belakang: Gigi tiruan sebagian lepasan adalah gigi tiruan yang dirancang untuk menggantikan satu atau beberapa gigi yang hilang, dengan dukungan dari jaringan di sekitarnya dan gigi asli yang masih ada sebagai penyangga. Pada pembuatan gigi tiruan sebagian lepasan dapat ditemukan beberapa kasus, salah satunya adalah gigitan terbalik anterior. Pada kasus gigitan terbalik anterior, kondisi ini termasuk maloklusi kelas I dental dimana hubungan anteroposterior yang normal antara rahang atas dan rahang bawah, dimana mesio buccal cusp gigi molar permanen pertama atas terletak pada buccal groove gigi molar permanen pertama bawah, sedangkan gigi anterior tidak normal, seperti gigi berjejal (crowding), gigi berputar (rotasi), gigi miring, spacing, atau crossbite. Selain itu, perlu diperhatikan kesesuaian warna, bentuk, dan ukuran gigi agar hasil akhir terlihat natural serta berfungsi secara optimal.
