Abstract

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the periodontal tissues caused by certain microorganisms and characterised by the loss of periodontal tissue. Ac-cording to the American Academy of Periodontology in 2018. Periodontitis is classified into four stages based on the severity of the disease and the complex-ity of treatment, and three grades based on its progression. A 20-year-old woman presented to the Periodontology Department of RSGMP Unimus in Septem-ber 2024 with complaints of swollen gums and frequent bleeding during toothbrushing. Based on the medical history, clinical examination, and supporting tests, the patient was diagnosed with stage 1 grade A periodontitis accompanied by gingival enlargement. It was concluded that periodontal surgery showed a good success rate, resulting in the gingiva no longer being enlarged, having a coral pink colour, a firm consistency, stippling, and sharp interdental papillae.

Abstract

Composite resin is often chosen as a restorative material due to its aesthetic properties and minimally invasive technique. The selection of an appropriate matrix type plays an important role in the success of the restoration. Spoon matrices are non-transparent, spoon-shaped matrices commonly used on anterior teeth to form proximal walls. A 38-year-old woman visited the Unpad Dental Hospital complaining of a black gap in her upper right anterior teeth. The patient had never received treatment for her complaint. A class IV composite restoration was performed on tooth 11 using a spoon matrix. Loss of the palatal and proximal walls required the use of a matrix to recreate the proper contour and contact of the teeth. The spoon matrix helped create a proximal wall with appropriate anatomical contours and prevented overhang. It was concluded that the use of a spoon matrix in Class IV anterior tooth restoration yielded good subjective and objective results, with appropriate anatomical contours and no overhang.

Abstract

Failure to detect caries early affects the effectiveness of preventive care by dentists. Early detection of caries helps dentists prepare and determine the appro-priate and accurate type of treatment based on caries risk, lesion severity, surface integrity and caries activity, in relation to the need for or absence of treat-ment without instrumentation on non-cavity lesions. Successful early detection of caries helps dentists prevent and restore teeth before more extensive da-mage occurs. Caries is one of the dental and oral health problems that needs attention. The process of caries begins with the formation of white spot lesions, which, if treated quickly, will prevent extensive damage to the tooth structure, so early detection of caries is necessary to determine the location and extent of caries. Fibre optic transillumination is a minimally invasive method that can be used to detect caries through light transmission without invasive instruments to determine the treatment plan. It is concluded that the effectiveness of caries prevention treatment can be achieved through early detection of caries. Fibre optic transillumination is a minimally invasive method for detecting caries through light transmission.

Abstract

mergency endodontics account for one-third of all dental emergencies. Most cases can only be resolved if the dentist can inter-act directly with the patient. One of the airborne infectious diseases that needs attention is Covid-19, dental procedures have a high risk of transmitting the disease. Therefore, emergency endodontics during the pandemic is a big challenge. This paper re-views how to handle endodontic emergencies in the pandemic era. Teledentistry is one of the options as a first step to solve and help the patient's problem. For emergency endodontic interventions, after teleconsultation, dentists can plan endodontic treat-ments such as pulpotomy, pulpectomy, or incision and drainage, with proper control protocols to prevent transmission during the visit. It is concluded that emergency endodontics has a much higher risk of transmission. Reducing treatment time and ex-posure control are ways to reduce the risk of coronavirus spread during endodontic treatment. Following proper protocol pro-cedures in treating patients is a must, so as to protect many people.

Abstract

Tooth discolouration due to coffee consumption is a common aesthetic problem. Chemical bleaching agents have been proven effective, but they can cause side effects such as tooth sensitivity and gum irritation, necessitating safer natural alternatives. Tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) contain hydro-gen peroxide and peroxidase, which have the potential to be used as natural teeth whitening agents. This study evaluated the effectiveness of 100% and 50% tomato juice in whitening discoloured teeth. A laboratory experimental study with a pretest–posttest group design was conducted using 27 post-extraction teeth divided into three groups: 100% and 50% tomato juice, and sterile aquadest as a control. The samples were soaked for 3 hours, then the change in tooth colour (?E*ab) was measured with a spectrophotometer. Data analysis using paired t-tests and one-way Anova showed significant differences before and after treatment (p<0.05). The Tukey post hoc test showed that 100% tomato juice had the greatest whitening effect compared to 50% tomato juice and the control. It was concluded that 100% and 50% tomato juice concentrations were effective in whitening teeth discoloured by coffee, with the highest effective-ness at a concentration of 100%.

Abstract

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a hereditary disorder easily fractured due to a high fragility with the primary suspected pathogenesis due to disruption of type 1 collagen synthesis. Clinically, abnormalities in the teeth can also be found. The purpose of this case report is to analyze the panoramic radiographic appearance of the case of osteogenesis imperfecta. A 4-year-old boy came to Hasanuddin University Hospital complaining of mobile upper and lower teeth and a history of bone fractures. The panoramic radiographic examination showed widespread loss of bone density with the impression of brittle bone in most areas of the up-per and lower jaws accompanied by missing and migration of the permanent teeth. The suspected radiodiagnostic case was os-teogenesis imperfecta. Patients were briefed on the relationship between oral conditions and systemic diseases and referred to the pediatric department to manage the systemic condition, and antibiotics and analgesics are prescribed to reduce oral discomfort. The manifestations of osteogenesis imperfecta are decreased jaw bone density, class III malocclusion, and dentinogesis imper-fecta. In this case, migration and missing permanent teeth were also found. It is concluded that clinical examination of osteo-genesis imperfecta needs to be supported by a panoramic radiographic examination to identify the condition of hard tissue, bones, and teeth.
