Abstract

Dental caries is a health disorder with a high prevalence in all age groups, including infants and children, known as early childhood caries (ECC). One of the most common causes of ECC is the consumption of foods and beverages with high glucose content, including formula milk. This article analyses the rela-tionship between formula milk feeding patterns and the risk of ECC using the ECC Dentch application, which is designed to detect and provide informa-tion related to children's dental health. An analytical survey design was used with a cross-sectional approach on 45 children at Kartika 1-55 Kindergarten in Padang City. Data were obtained through questionnaires and clinical examinations. Although 95.6% of children were at risk of ECC, the chi-square test found no significant relationship between formula feeding patterns and the incidence of ECC (p=0.938). Other factors, such as oral hygiene and consumption of sugary foods, had a more dominant influence on the risk of ECC. The ECC Dentch application was found to have high sensitivity (100%) in detecting cases of ECC, although its specificity was low (0%). It was concluded that there was no significant relationship between formula feeding patterns and the risk of ECC.

Abstract

When treating children, it is very important to prioritise comfort, effectiveness, safety, and conservative treatment methods. A positive dental experience is essential for children as it minimises anxiety in patients and parents. Distraction is one technique for successful treatment. It is necessary for controlling be-haviour and managing pain in children. The use of technology such as virtual reality (VR) has recently become an interesting tool for paediatric dentists, as it shifts children's focus away from fear and pain. Video games and digital games serve as VR content in some studies. The study shows that VR and smart-phone games are the most effective distraction techniques for managing negative behaviour in paediatric dental patients. This review provides an overview of the effectiveness of VR distraction in paediatric dentistry. It is concluded that distraction using VR in paediatric dentistry can reduce anxiety and pain levels during dental treatment.

Abstract

Replacement of missing teeth should be done with several considerations including retention. The use of precision anchorage is an appropriate alternative choice for patient comfort. A precision link is a small interlocking device to connect the denture to the abutment teeth that can provide biomechanical and aesthetic benefits. A 56-year-old woman came to Hasanuddin University Oral and Dental Hospital because she could not chew food properly and wanted a denture made. The patient had partial loss of upper and lower teeth, and felt some upper teeth were loose. The loose teeth were extracted and the remaining teeth 13,12,11, 21,23 were made into a longspan bridge and the edentulus part was made into a metal frame denture with precision links. The use of precision cusps in bilateral free end maxillary aesthetic correction cases using a combination of fixed and removable den-tures is one of the best treatments other than implants. It is concluded that precision linking significantly improved denture reten-tion and patient comfort. The combined treatment option of using a fixed and removable denture in this case provided a better aesthetic appearance as well as improved function and favourable retention.

Abstract

Mouth breathing is a harmful habit that deviates from the normal practice of breathing through the nose, and its aetiology is multifactorial. Various causes of mouth breathing include genetic factors, bad habits, and nasal obstruction due to tonsillar hypertrophy, nasal polyps, a deviated nasal septum, or sinusitis. The impact of mouth breathing on oral and craniofacial development remains a subject of debate, although children who habitually breathe through their mouths often exhibit certain characteristics, known as the ‘adenoid face’, including an incompetent upper lip, retroposition of the hyoid bone, a ‘V’-shaped up-per jaw arch, and Class II malocclusion. Changes in facial growth in individuals who breathe through their mouths have been studied by various healthcare professionals, including doctors and orthodontists, although much remains to be learnt about the relationship between mouth breathing and oral and cranio-facial development. This article discusses the impact of mouth breathing on craniofacial development. It is concluded that mouth breathing can influence cra-niofacial development through changes in the upper and lower jaw arches, profile, and muscles.

Abstract

Health problems that often occur due to the use of dentures are denture stomatitis. Candida albicans is a microorganism in the oral cavity with the highest prevalence in denture stomatitis. One herbal ingredient that can be used as an alternative denture cleaner is soursop fruit (Annona muricata L). This laboratory experimental study used a post-test control group design to provide data on the inhibitory effect of soursop fruit extract on the growth of C.albicans. The samples were C.albicans suspensions obtained from clinical isolates of heat-polymerised acrylic resin (HPAR) denture users, which were given 5 types of treatment with concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15%, positive control and negative control, with 25 samples. Using SPSS, the data were analysed using the chi-square test. It was concluded that soursop fruit extract had an inhibitory effect on C.albicans clinical isolates from HPAR denture users, with the average inhibitory effect increasing with increasing concentration

Abstract

Gingival recession is the most common aesthetic problem related to periodontal tissues, especially when it occurs in the maxilla-ry anterior teeth. A 44-year-old man complained of receding gums that made it difficult to brush his teeth. In teeth 11-17, 21-27, 31, 32, 42-45 Miller Class III 2-3 mm gingival recession and type 2 non-carious cervical lesions. The gingival phenotype was mo-derate in size. The patient was referred to the Periodontics Department for perioesthetic treatment of de-epithelialised free gingi-val graft and coronal advancement flap. After prosthodontic treatment for the back teeth, a combination treatment of DFGG and modified envelope CAF was performed with a combination of full and partial thickness flaps. After 2 weeks, the healing process was found to be favourable aesthetically and functionally. The periodontal state was normal and the root coverage area was fa-vourable. It was concluded that gingival recession treated with de-epithelialised gingival graft combined with coronal advance-ment flap gave the best aesthetic and functional results.

Abstract

Radicular cysts are the most common type of odontogenic cysts and are of inflammatory origin. Treatment of the cysts can be by enucleation or by marsupialisation, with a good treatment prognosis. This article is intended to illustrate the management of odontogenic cysts in a patient with a history of systemic disease. A 56-year-old man presented with a complaint of wanting to remove a residual root in the maxillary frontal region although there had never been any complaints about the tooth. Radiogra-phic examination revealed extensive bone destruction in the region, with a working diagnosis of radicular cyst. After history ta-king, it was found that the patient had a history of hypertension and diabetes. The management of patients with odontogenic cysts, especially radicular, is enucleation. The management of dental cysts in patients with systemic diseases needs to be specialised.

Abstract

This case report aims to describe one visit endodontic treatment as an option for teeth that need root canal treatment, espe-cially during the pandemic. Teledentistry was performed as the initial stage for history taking, DHE and informed consent prior to the patient's visit to the clinic for treatment on a 14-year-old patient with complaints of a decayed and painful lower back tooth. Thermal and percussion tests were positive, palpation was negative. Radiographs showed caries almost reaching the pulp with periapical radiolucency. Single length preparation technique became the treatment of choice during the pandemic. One visit endodontic treatment is effective in overcoming the patient's subjective and objective complaints. It is concluded that OVE treatment is one of the root canal treatment options, especially during a pandemic with a high success rate.
