Abstract

Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria and microaerophilic bacteria found in the subgingival area are the cause of chronic periodonti-tis. The main bacteria causing chronic periodontitis is Porphyromonas gingivalis, which is present in 53.8% of cases. Mouthwash is a solution or liquid used to cleanse the mouth of plaque and mouth disease-causing organisms. This study was conducted to compare the inhibitory power of mouthwash containing CHX 0.12% and CPC 0.1% with povidone iodine 1% on P.gingivalis. The well diffusion test was conducted to see the most effective inhibition in inhibiting the growth of these bacteria by measuring the diameter of the inhibition zone of the clear zone formed. It was concluded that there was greater antibacterial inhibition of mouth-wash containing CHX 0.12% and CPC 0.1% than mouthwash containing povidone iodine 1% in inhibiting the growth of P.gingivalis.

Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various organs, including the oral cavity. Oral manifestations such as ulcers, candidiasis, cheilitis, and lichen planus-like lesions often reflect the activity of certain systemic diseases. A 26-year-old woman with a history of SLE, lu-pus nephritis, severe anaemia, and suspected neuropsychiatric lupus presented with complaints of fatigue, dizziness, leg swelling, pain when swallowing, re-current seizures, and oral discomfort. Intraoral examination revealed lichen planus-like lesions on the anterior buccal mucosa, ulcers on the posterior buccal mucosa, traumatic ulcers on the lateral tongue due to seizures, candidiasis on the dorsum of the tongue, and exfoliative cheilitis on the lips. Laboratory results showed severe anaemia, leukocytosis with lymphopenia, hypocalcaemia, and renal dysfunction. Treatment included oral hygiene education, use of a soft-bristled toothbrush, tongue cleaning with sterile gauze, nutritional counselling, and coordination with the Department of Internal Medicine for systemic monito-ring. Invasive procedures were avoided due to the risk of bleeding and infection. It was concluded that oral manifestations in SLE vary and can be indicators of systemic conditions. Dentists play an important role in early detection, supportive therapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration to improve patients' quality of life.

Abstract

Thyroid disorders, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and autoimmune thyroid disease, have a significant systemic impact on skeletal metabolism, bone remodelling, and periodontal tissue because orthodontic tooth movement depends on the balance of osteoclast and osteoblast activity within the pe-riodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Disorders at the thyroid hormone level can affect the biomechanics of treatment, the rate of tooth movement, ancho-rage control, and risks during treatment. This article discusses how thyroid dysfunction affects orthodontic tooth movement, periodontal tissue response, bone remodelling, and considerations for orthodontic treatment planning. It is concluded that management should be based on the identification of biological mecha-nisms, treatment risks, and essential clinical considerations for orthodontists treating patients with thyroid disorders.

Abstract

Cobalt-chromium and titanium alloys are widely used as prosthetic frameworks due to their high strength, stiffness, corrosion iresistance, and passivation pro-perties. However, metal ions can potentially cause cytotoxicity, hypertension, and neoplasia. Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) is an alternative polymer mate-rial that has physical, mechanical, and chemical properties suitable for use as denture framework material due to its high strength, low modulus of elasticity, and reduced risk of problems caused by metal frameworks such as allergies and potential me-tallic taste. In complex cases, the treatment plan and mate-rials used for the denture are important to ensure predictability and long-term du-rability. This review evaluates PEKK as a suitable biomaterial for removable partial denture frameworks. It is concluded that PEKK material is an alternative material that can be used as a removable partial denture framework because it is a lightweight framework material, has good biocompatibility, and is easy to repair in case of bone resorption.

Abstract

Root canal treatment aims to remove vital and non-vital pulp tissue from the root canal. The smear layer consists of residual of RCT containing organic and inorganic matter from the root canal. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA 17%) is used as an irrigant to remove the smear layer, but it is toxic to periapi-cal tissues. One natural irrigant that is safe for periapical tissues is the extract of star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.), which contains active compounds such as sapo-nins, flavonoids, and tannins that have potential to remove smear layer. This article reports on the potential of BBW ethanol extract as a smear layer cleaner. This laboratory experimental study, employing a post-test only control design, involved 24 single-rooted teeth divided into 4 treatment groups with 6 replicates. Assessment was performed using confocal laser scanning microscopy based on the Hulsmann scoring system, followed by statistical analysis. Based on the Mann-Whitney test, the comparison between the treatment groups (17% EDTA) and the 35% extract showed a p-value of 0.269, indicating no significant dif-ference. It was concluded that the 35% ethanol extract of belimbing wuluh fruit is effective in removing the smear layer and has potential as a natural root ca-nal irrigation agent.

Abstract

Salivary alpha amylase is a component in human saliva that plays important role in carbohydrate digestion. This article aims to analyze bioinformatics and biomolecular characterization of salivary alpha amylase as risk factor of dental caries. The location of this gene is 1p21.1, with nucleotide is NC_000001.11. This information was taken from National Center for Biotechnology Infor-mation's website. The number of amino acids of salivary alpha amylase is 511, with molecular weight is 577,677.82 amu. The pro-tein is stable with instability index is computed to be 23.58. Only 23 enzymes were predicted to be capable of cleaving the sa-livary alpha amylase out of a total of 37 protease. The aliphatic index is 67.12. From THMM analysis, salivary alpha amylase is found outside of membrane. It is concluded that characteristic of salivary alpha amylase can be considered as indicator for caries.

Abstract

Periodontal disease is an inflammatory response due to bacterial infection of the supporting tissues of the teeth. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium associated with periodontal disease. An adjunctive therapy to mechanical pe-riodontal therapy is the use of antibiotics, although long-term use can cause some hypersensitivity effects, toxic reactions. Many bacteria are resistant to antibiotics, so in this study Gracilaria extract was chosen as an additional therapy to reduce the effects of resistance to antibiotics. extract as an additional therapy to reduce the effects of such resistance. Gracilaria has carotene con-tent which has very important biological functions as an antioxidant, and immunostimulator that can prevent disease, anti-inflamma-tory, anti-stress, anti-aging, and skin protection from ultraviolet light. ultraviolet rays. Gracilaria also has the ability to capture free radicals. Gracilaria contains antibacterial bioactive compounds, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, and steroids that can inhibit the growth of P.aeruginosa and Staphylococcus. This paper explores the effectiveness of Gracilaria sp in the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract

To determine the description of oral hygiene and knowledge level and the relationship between knowledge level and oral hygie-ne with periodontal status of diabetes mellitus (DM) patients at Lampa Health Centre, Duampanua, Pinrang. Samples were de-termined based on inclusion criteria, namely outpatients diagnosed with type 1 or 2 DM aged ≥8 years, and willing to become re-search subjects. At the initial stage, knowledge about the relationship between DM and oral health was measured using a question-naire. The implementation of activities began with DHE using leaflets and banner stands, plaque control using disclosing agents and initial therapy in the form of scaling root planing in people with DM who experience periodontal disease. Oral hygiene status was assessed using OHI-S and periodontal disease status was assessed using Periodontal Diseases Index. The relationship between knowledge level and OHI-S and periodontal status was analysed using Kolmogorof Smirnof test (p<0.05). Patients with poor GDS/GDP scores had poor OHI-S status and poor periodontal status. All study subjects had problems in their supporting tissues, 50% gingivitis and 50% periodontitis. It is concluded that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge with OHI-S status and periodontal status in DM patients at Puskesmas Lampa, Duampanua, Pinrang.

Abstract

Impaction occurs due to a mismatch between the size and shape of the teeth and the jaw. Generally, teeth that often experience impaction are posterior teeth, although anterior teeth can also experience impaction, but rarely found. This study was intended to determine the prevalence of tooth impaction on radiographs in the Radiology Department of RSGMP Hasanuddin University in 2023. This descriptive observational study used a total sampling design whose population was all panoramic radiographs of pa-tients with impacted teeth from medical report data in 2023. A total of 530 samples had impaction, 390 (73.5%) third molar im-paction, 50 (9.43%) premolar impaction, and 95 (17.93%) canine impaction. It was concluded that the more common impacted tooth in Unhas RSGMP in 2023 was the lower third molar.
