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

Tongue thrusting is the habit of protruding the tongue and pressing against the front teeth at rest, while speaking, or swallowing, which can lead to malocclu-sion. To overcome this habit, devices such as removable or fixed tongue cribs can be used. The habit of protruding the tongue causes an imbalance in the muscles of the mouth, which ultimately results in malocclusion, namely the incisors being pushed forward and an open bite. To overcome the habit of protru-ding the tongue, speech therapy, myofunctional therapy, tongue exercises, and the use of orthodontic appliances such as removable or fixed tongue cribs can be used. Variations of the tongue crib include the hybrid habit-correcting appliance, tongue crib with cold-cure acrylic, tongue shield, fixed palatal crib with trans-palatal arch, fixed tongue loops, tongue fence, and upper hay rake. It is concluded that the habit of protruding the tongue can be addressed using a remova-vable or fixed tongue crib.

Abstract

According to the 2018 Basic Health Research, the index of tooth loss in Indonesia is 19%. Dental implants are one of the treatments for tooth loss. The pre-valence of dental implant users has increased by 14% per year. The materials used for implants vary greatly, one of which is titanium. Titanium has high bio-compatibility, but its surface needs to be modified to accelerate osseointegration. Chemical surface modification changes the chemical properties of the car-rier surface to produce specific interactions between surface molecules and cells, which not only affects the surface properties of the cells but also causes changes in their internal structure and function. This literature review discusses various chemical methods that can be used to modify the surface of tita-nium implants to improve and accelerate the osseointegration process. It is concluded that modifications to the surface of dental titanium implants can alter the morphology and properties of the implant surface, thereby stimulating bone growth around the implant and improving the osseointegration process.

Abstract

Radiograph examination is one of the important examinations in diagnosing, determining the prognosis, and evaluating the treat-ment outcome of periodontal disease. Alveolar bone changes can indicate the onset and progression of periodontal disease. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of periodontal disease from panoramic radiographs in the Radiology Department of RSGMP Unhas in 2023. Descriptive observational study through panoramic radiography photo data was conducted in 2023, then the results were presented in the form of tables and diagrams. The most common periodontal disease was mild periodontitis at 37.9% and was found more in women than men. Periodontal disease based on age group, obtained that the highest prevalence in the age group 46-65 years at 42.3%. It is concluded that the prevalence of periodontal disease is still relatively high due to the low level of knowledge and public awareness of oral health maintenance and oral health services that have not been implemen-ted optimally.

Abstract

Orthodontic tooth movement occurs through the application of mechanical forces that trigger a controlled process of alveolar bone remodelling, involving a balance between resorption by osteoclasts and new bone formation by osteoblasts. Stem cells, particularly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and haemato-poietic stem cells (HSCs), play an important role in this mechanism. MSCs function as osteoblast precursors on the traction side, responding to mechani-cal forces through signalling pathways such as Wnt/?-catenin and MAPK/ERK to enhance osteogenesis. Meanwhile, HSCs differentiate into osteoclasts on the pressure side under the influence of RANKL, facilitating bone resorption. The coordinated activity of these two types of stem cells supports stable and efficient tooth movement. A deep understanding of the role of stem cells is not only important for improving the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment, but al-so opens up opportunities for the development of safer regenerative therapies, such as the use of exosomes or conditioned medium MSCs to optimise cli-nical outcomes and minimise complications.

Abstract

Oral diseases such as periodontitis and mucositis involve microbial biofilms and immune system disorders. Marine-derived lipid compounds such as methyl palmitate (MP) and hexadecenoic acid (AHD) exhibit promising antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. This review compiles current preclinical and clinical evidence on their mechanisms and therapeutic potential in oral diseases. A systematic search (2015–2025) through PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar was conducted using the PICOS framework, covering in vitro, animal, and clinical studies. Narrative synthesis was applied due to data variability. MP appears to reduce TNF-? and IL-1? by inhibiting NF-?B in macrophages and increasing IL-10. AHD decreases IL-6, IL-18, and MCP-1, promotes M2 polarisation, and disrupts biofilm. Both compounds are derived from marine sources such as fish oil and microalgae. It is concluded that MP and AHD have potential as adjunctive therapies for oral inflammation, although further clinical validation is essential.

Abstract

Resin komposit merupakan bahan restorasi yang paling sering digunakan saat ini, karena merupakan salah satu bahan tumpatan yang menyerupai warna gigi. Disamping itu faktor kekerasan menjadi hal yang sangat diperlukan untuk ketahanan tumpatan. Kekerasan komposit dapat dipengaruhi oleh cara pengaplikasian bahan. Penelitian ini membandingkan resin komposit nano-filler bulk-fill dan non-bulk-fill dengan ketebalan 2 mm, 4 mm dan 6 mm. Penelitian eksperimen laboratorium dengan posttest with control group design menggunakan 24 sampel resin komposit yang dibagi menjadi 6 kelompok yaitu resin komposit nano-filler bulkfill dan non bulkfill yang masing-masing dibuat dengan ketebalan 2 mm, 4 mm, dan 6 mm. Kekerasannya diuji dengan alat vicker hardness tester. Uji least significant difference menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan kekerasan yang signifikan antar 6 kelompok perlakuan (p<0,05). Kekerasan tertinggi didapatkan oleh resin komposit nanofiller bulkfill dengan ketebalan 2 mm sebesar 27,82 VHN dan resin komposit non bulkfill menunjukkan nilai kekerasan yang rendah terutama pada ketebalan 6 mm sebesar 6,75 VHN. Disimpulkan bahwa resin komposit nanofiller bulkfill memiliki kekerasan yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan resin komposit non bulkfill.

Abstract

Kandidiasis oral adalah infeksi oportunistik yang paling umum memengaruhi mukosa mulut. Dalam sebagian besar kasus, lesi disebabkan oleh Candida albicans. Banyak obat antijamur yang telah banyak diproduksi dan dijual di pasaran untuk mengobati kandidiasis, namun obat-obatan tersebut memiliki efek samping. Salah satu tumbuhan yang dapat dibudidayakan sebagai tanaman hias dan tanaman obat adalah kembang telang (Clitoria ternatea L.). Diketahui daya hambat bunga telang terhadap C.alcans disebabkan oleh zat antosianin. Penelitian eksperimental ini dirancang dengan post-test only control group. Uji KruskalWallis menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan efektivitas ekstrak bunga telang 50%, 75%, 100% dalam membunuh koloni C.albicans. Uji Mann Whitney tidak mendapatkan perbedaan yang signifikan ekstrak bunga telang 50%, 75%, 100% dalam membunuh koloni C.albicans; keduanya pada media SDA. Konsentrasi bunga telang yang terus ditingkatkan mengalami penurunan efektivitas. Disimpulkan bahwa makin tinggi konsentrasi daya difusi ekstrak ke dalam media berkurang sehingga semakin rendah kelarutannya.
