Abstract

Malocclusion is a dental disorder that ranks third after dental caries and periodontal disease in dental and oral health problems in Indonesia. Early detection will facilitate orthodontic treatment and prevent the malocclusion from getting worse which can result in the need for more complex orthodontic treatment. Most conventional orthodontic treatments take more than a year to com-plete. Orthodontic facilitated corticotomy is a therapeutic procedure that assists orthodontic tooth movement by accelerating bone metabolism due to controlled surgical damage. The objective of this review is to find out that corticotomy can be used as a one of the methods an accelerating duration orthodontic treatment, so it is made through a literature search using a search en-gine from several sources related to the topic to be discussed. Corticotomy is one of the methods in accelerating tooth move-ment through invasive surgical treatment. It is concluded that corticotomy facilitated orthodontic tooth movement showed 1.5-2 times faster than with conventional orthodontic. However, corticotomy has disadvantages such as additional cost for perio-dontal surgery and less pain on the first day after surgery. .

Abstract

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a plant where all of it parts can be used. Unripe papaya peel can be used as an herbal ingredient as it is known to have antibacterial effects. The main bacteria that cause dental caries is S.mutans. This study was intended to determine the antibacterial activity of papaya peel extract (PPE) in inhibiting the growth of S.mutans. Laboratory experimental research with posttest only control design, consisting of treatment groups are S.mutans bacteria treated with PPE on disc paper with concentrations of 1%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80%, and positive control group is S.mutans bacteria treated with 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate solution and negative control group is S.mutans treated with aquadest. As a result, PPE has antibact-erial activity against S.mutans. The zone of inhibition was optimal at 40% concentration and decreased at 60% concentration. It was concluded that PPE can inhibit the growth of S.mutans with the largest inhibition zone at 40% concentration.

Abstract

Physical anthropology is the anthropometry of the skull and face, which studies the measurement of the dimensions of the skull and face. The cephalic in-dex is used in anthropometry to describe the shape of the human head. The nasal index is used in anthropology to help determine personal identity, parti-cularly differences in race, ethnicity, and gender. This study discusses the differences in cephalic and nasal indices between female and male students of the 2021 cohort at the Faculty of Dentistry, Baiturrahmah University. The population of this analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design con-sisted of 100 students of the 2021 class, obtained using purposive sampling. The data were analysed univariately and bivariately using the independent t-test and Spearman's rho using the SPSS v.25.0. The results showed that males had an average nasal index of 75.24%, while females had 71.64%, both classified as mesorrhine. The average cephalic index for males was 79.45%, and for females 76.73%, both also classified as mesocephalic, indicating a significant difference between the nasal index and cephalic index of male and female students (p<0.05). It was concluded that there was a significant dif-ference bet-ween the cephalic index and nasal index of male and female students.

Abstract

The dissolution time test aims to determine the length of time it takes for effervescent tablets to dissolve in a solvent medium. Effervescent tablets made from cocoa bean shells (Theobroma cacao L.) contain flavonoids, saponins, and catechins, which prevent pellicle adhesion and glucan formation by Strepto-coccus mutans, thereby inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans on acrylic resin dentures. This study discusses the dissolution time of KBK effervescent tablets with a concentration of 6.5%. This study is a true experimental study using 16 samples of effervescent tablets tested with a disintegration tester after immersion in distilled water. The results showed that the average dissolution time of KBK tablets was 133 seconds with a standard deviation of 8.07, while that of alkaline peroxide effervescent tablets was 191.38 seconds with a standard deviation of 6.80, indicating a significant difference (p-value 0.000; <0.05). It was concluded that cocoa fruit peel extract tablets had a faster dissolution time than alkaline peroxide effervescent tablets.

Abstract

The implementation of electronic medical records (EMR) in health facilities, including community health centres, is one strategy to improve the quality of health services, although the level of implementation is still very low, at only 8.0% of 9,831 community health centres. Most community health centres (48.9%) still use non-electronic medical records, while 43.1% use a combined electronic and non-electronic medical record system. However, the level of acceptance of this technology by dentists remains a challenge, especially in areas with limited infrastructure and training. This quantitative study analy-sed the acceptance of dentists towards the implementation of EMR in community health centres in Padang City, using a descriptive survey through a cross-sectional approach on 45 dentists at the Padang City Community Health Centre. The questionnaire was designed to measure dentists' perceptions, atti-tudes, interest, and actual use of EMR. The results showed that 86.7% of respondents perceived EMR as beneficial, with the majority of dentists believing that EMR can improve work efficiency and service quality. Attitudes towards the use of RME were generally positive (95.6%), interest in the implementa-tion of RME was also high (95.6%), and the actual use of RME showed good results (86.7%), although the perception of ease of use was still low. It was concluded that the implementation of RME among dentists had the highest level of acceptance, namely in the good category.

Abstract

HIV/AIDS remains a global health issue in Indonesia, with the city of Parepare, South Sulawesi, recording an increase in cases. The crucial role of dentists in managing HIV/AIDS patients requires optimal preparedness, which is measured by their knowledge and attitudes. This study evaluated changes in the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour of 46 dentists in Parepare after an educational seminar and hands-on intervention. This observational study used a cross-sectional series design with questionnaires administered before and after the intervention. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test and paired sample t-test. The intervention successfully increased the average knowledge score (p=0.162) and attitude score (p=0.876), although these increases were not statistically significant. However, the dentists' behaviour scores showed a significant increase (p=0.022), indicating the effectiveness of the intervention in triggering changes in clinical practice. It was concluded that educational seminars and hands-on training are effective in improving the behaviour of dentists in treating HIV/AIDS patients. Continuing education programmes are urgently needed to ensure improved quality of dental care for people with HIV/AIDS

Abstract

It is currently considered the best way to achieve better oral health. The numerical requirement teaching model focuses on the treatment of predefined cases that students must perform to fulfil the requirements for examinations. There is now a different sys-tem that can challenge students to adopt a philosophy of care known as the comprehensive system. Comprehensive dental care is the fulfilment of accumulated dental care needs. This review discusses the dental profession clinical curriculum system and to compare the comprehensive system and numerical requirement system with literature review. It was concluded that the compre-hensive treatment programme provides students with a broader education and improves the efficiency and quality of patient care. The numerical requirement system is considered an important tool in dental education to ensure that students receive experi-ence while completing a predetermined system of requirements.
