Abstract

Oral health problems limit an individual's ability to speak, chew, bite, smile, and psychosocial well-being. Riskesdas of Bali Pro-vince in 2018 stated that 51.72% of children aged 5-9 years and 34.19% of children aged 10-14 years had tooth decay. Ef-forts to overcome dental health problems can be implemented through the School Dental Health Effort programme by training health cadres such as little dentists. This study aims to determine the difference in the level of oral health knowledge of ele-mentary school children in Ungasan Village before and after being educated by a little dentist, using a pre-experimental study design and a one-group pretest-posttest design. The samples were students at SDN 5 Ungasan, SDN 7 Ungasan, and SDN 8 Ungasan who met the inclusion criteria, by using purposive sampling technique. As a result, there is a difference between the level of knowledge, namely the average level of knowledge of children's oral health before being given education by a little dentist is in the moderate category, while there is an increase of knowledge after education to the good category. It is con-cluded that there is a difference between the level of knowledge of elementary school children before and after being given education by small dentists.

Abstract

Malocclusion in children can be caused by various things such as genetics, trauma, disease, nutritional status, bad habits and feeding methods. Feeding methods such as exclusive breastfeed and bottle-feeding have an effect on malocclusion in children. Children who are exclusively breastfed optimally have less likely to develop malocclusion than bottle-feeding children.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a systemic disease that manifests in the oral cavity. This article reports a case of oral manifestations in a patient with uncontrolled type 1 DM. A 41-year-old male with a diagnosis of type 1 DM since adolescence accompanied by ac-quired cystic kidney disease and asthma was admitted to RSUD Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Purwokerto. The patient complained of pain in his oral cavity. The patient's clinical picture showed periodontitis, xerostomia with exfoliative cheilitis, burning mouth syndrome, and halitosis. The patient was treated and received insulin therapy in the form of inject.Humalog, inject.Ezelin, N-ace-tylcysteine, oxygen, salt capsules, and Ca-gluconas. It was concluded that the oral manifestations found in the patient were pe-riodontitis, xerostomia with exfoliative cheilitis, burning mouth syndrome, and halitosis.

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

Odontogenic abscess (OA) is an infection in the maxillofacial area originating from the tooth which if not treated quickly and appropriately can be life-threatening. In children, OA is one of the challenges for dentists where management must be carried out as quickly as possible, but patients are uncooperative when the procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Extension of the abscess into the temporal space in a child is a rarely reported case. A 10-year-old pediatric patient came with complaints of swelling on the right cheek that extended to the right side of the head and left eye accompanied by pain and limited mouth opening. Clinical examination, swelling of the right submandibular region extending to the right buccal and right infratemporal dextra soft consistency, painful palpation. OPG-X ray showed a deep caries perforation on tooth 46. Treatment was performed in the form of antibiotics, analgesics, extra-oral drainage incision of the submandibula and temporal region under general anes-thesia, and mouth opening exercises. After treatment, the patient can open his mouth wider so that his nutritional intake is bet-ter. It is concluded that abscess in the temporal region is generally caused by infection of the maxillary teeth, the spread of this infection can be influenced by the level of bacterial virulence and nutritional intake of the patient. Management of dentoal-veolar infection should be carried out as quickly as possible to prevent the spread of infection which can be life-threatening.

Abstract

One of the most common aesthetic problems patients complain about in dentistry is gummy smile; which can be caused by various factors, one of which is APE. Altered passive eruption (APE) is a condition where the gingiva looks larger, causing the teeth to look shorter when smiling, thus affecting the aesthetic appearance. Crown lengthening, either with or without bone reduction, is a frequent treatment in this case. The purpose of this case report is to explain how crown lengthening was used to treat a gummy smile caused by APE. A 21-year-old female patient presented to Hasanuddin University Dental Hospital with complaints of uneven upper gingiva and short teeth, as well as an unattractive smile. After aesthetic and periodontal tissue analysis, crown lengthening was performed which proved successful in aligning the gingival margin with the gingival crest and improving the patient's smile profile. The patient reported no pain or swelling after the procedure. So, it is concluded that a beautiful smile can be successfully achieved with good diagnosis, proper treatment planning and good skills.

Abstract

Tooth extraction is the main reason for alveolar bone resorption. Overdentures have several benefits in prosthodontic treatment, including maintaining alveolar ridge height, increasing denture stability, maintaining proprioceptive sensors, and improving masticatory efficiency. This article reports the use of a complete denture with a conventional overdenture as a rehabilitation treatment of the partial edentulous in the upper and lower jaws. A 70-year-old man came to the Department of Prosthodontics RSGM Hasanuddin University with complaints of difficulty chewing food due to partial loss of upper and lower jaw teeth, the patient wanted to make a denture without tooth extraction due to trauma in previous tooth extraction. It was concluded that the use of a complete denture with two copings on the upper and lower jaws can improve the retention and stability.

Abstract

Dental and oral hygiene can determine the risk of developing dental and oral diseases. One of the most common dental and oral health problems in children is dental caries. Efforts are needed to detect earlier the potential for caries to occur, so that preven-tive measures can be taken earlier. Apart from saliva, another biomarker that can be used for early detection of caries is the hor-monal fingerprint. Hormonal fingerprinting offers a convenient assessment method for detecting caries. A literature study is conducted by collecting valid information and in accordance with the topic of study then synthesizing it. The ten articles ana-lyzed showed various results showing the relationship between hormonal fingerprints and caries. It is concluded that hormonal fingerprints or the 2D:4D digit ratio can help provide insight into the baby's prenatal life which can provide information about behavior, the possibility of disease, intelligence, so that it can act as a positive predictor for various dental conditions such as the risk of caries, oral squamous cell carcinoma, malocclusion and prognathism.

Abstract

The plan for rehabilitation of the edentulus in the maxilla and mandible with dental or implant support can be done with the use of an overdenture denture. Improved retention in this denture can be obtained by the use of copings or the so-called tele-scopic denture. A telescopic overdenture is a precision-coupled overdenture, consisting of a primary coping on the support-ing teeth and a secondary coping on the denture. This article reports the use of a telescopic overdenture for rehabilitation of the partial edentulous in the maxilla and mandible. A 55-year-old man came to the Department of Prosthodontics RSGM Unhas with complaints of difficulty chewing food and lack of confidence due to the loss of most of the teeth of the upper and lower jaw, the patient wanted to make a denture to chew and improve his smile. This treatment provides more aesthetic results due to the absence of the grip that patients often complain about, as well as better stability and retention when using the denture. It was concluded that the use of a telescopic overdenture in maxillary and mandibular edentulous patients would improve sta-bility, retention and aesthetics.

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.
