Abstract

Orthodontic tooth movement is a continuous and balanced process characterized by bone deposition and bone resorption res-pectively on tension and compression sites. This article is aimed to show the comparative of osteoprogeterin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear kappa B ligand (RANKL) during orthodontic tooth movement. Literature review was conducted by collect-ing various information regarding the topic and perform the synthesis. Several studies have shown the ratio concentration of RANKL to that OPG in gingival crevicular fluid was significantly higher than control sites. It was concluded that the OPG and RANKL expression during orthodontic movement varies at different time intervals and according to the type of force delivery system.

Abstract

Mentawai white sea cucumber (Holothuria scabra) is one of the benthic fauna that can be used as a natural antibacterial treat-ment. White sea cucumber contains saponin, alkaloid and terpenoid compounds that have antibacterial effects. This study was conducted to determine the antibacterial effect of ethanol extract of Mentawai white sea cucumber against Streptococcus sa-nguinis, and to determine the concentration of ETP extract that is effective in inhibiting S.sanguinis which was carried out in a la-boratory experimental with a posttest only control group design. The extract was made using maceration extraction method. The inhibition zone test method used disc diffusion with 5 samples in each treatment group. The samples consisted of 5 treatment groups, namely 6%, 8%, 10% ETP extract; positive control chlorhexidine 0.2% and negative control ethanol 96%. Data analysis used independent t-test. The results showed that 6%, 8% ETP extract had no inhibition zone but 10% had an inhibition zone of 0.97 mm, 0.2% chlorhexidine of 5.164 mm and 96% ethanol had no inhibition zone. It is concluded that 10% mentawai ATP extract has an antibacterial effect against S.sanguinis but in the weak category and less effective at 0.2% chlorhexidine.

Abstract

Gingival wound healing is complex because it is located in an open area, often contaminated and exposed to various types of bacteria in the oral cavity. Histologically, wound healing shows an increase in the number of fibroblasts. Belimbing wuluh (Aver-rhoa bilimbi Linn) can be used as a wound medicine because it contains saponins that have the ability to clean and are antisep-tic; tannins and flavonoids are anti-inflammatory. This study aims to determine the increase in the number of fibroblasts in rat gingival wound healing by topically administering belimbing wuluh leaf extract with different concentrations. The study was conducted with a pretest-posttest control group design, consisting of a control group with distilled water and a treatment group with topical administration of BWL ethanol extract with concentrations of 20% and 40%. The results of the study based on the comparison test between the three groups with one-way Anova showed that the mean number of fibroblasts in the three groups after treatment was significantly different (p=0.001). It was concluded that there was an increase in the number of fibroblasts in the gingival wound healing of rats given BWL extract although at 20% concentration, the increase was higher than at 40%.

Abstract

During orthodontic treatment, patients will feel pain due to the pressure of the tooth movement mechanism. This condition can be controlled by administering drugs, one of which is a class of analgesics. As a result of taking drugs during orthodontic treatment is known to have side effects that can interfere with the orthodontic treatment process, one of which is the inhibited rate of tooth movement which will cause complications that can affect the goals of orthodontic treatment. This scoping review discusses the effect of analgesic drugs on orthodontic tooth movement and how certain analgesic drugs affect the rate of orthodontic tooth move-ment, which was carried out by literature study. Data obtained in the Google Scholar, Science Direct and PubMed databases show the inhibition of the rate of orthodontic tooth movement due to the drugs ibuprofen, nimesulide, morphine, codeine, methadone, high-dose tramadol, meloxicam, high-dose etoricoxib, aspirin and algocamin. These drugs inhibit the rate of tooth movement by blocking the prostaglandin synthesis pathway, which is key to orthodontic tooth movement. It is concluded that there is an effect of certain analgesic drugs on orthodontic tooth movement.
