Abstract

Root resorption is a physiological and pathological process that leads to progressive tooth damage, particularly the loss of den-tine, root cementum, and ultimately tooth loss. Generally, the process of root resorption is classified into internal and external cate-gories, with several subclassifications. Treatment for internal and external root resorption may include preventive measures such as adequate endodontic treatment, as well as therapeutic interventions, for example, the use of intra-canal materials and antibio-tics, surgery, or extraction. This study compiles existing and up-to-date knowledge on root resorption classification to facilitate sim-ple diagnosis and explains root resorption treatment based on its subclassifications in the field of dental conservation. It is con-cluded that the accuracy and early diagnosis of root resorption classification are crucial for determining appropriate treatment.

Abstract

Pulpectomy is one of the pulp treatments that can be performed by removing infected tissue in teeth diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis or necrosis. Root canal preparation in primary teeth can be performed using endodontic files, either manually rotated or using a rotary system. In modern paediatric dentistry, the XP-endo® Shaper tool has been developed as a revolutionary endo-dontic file designed to perform asymmetric rotational movements, enabling good adaptation to the root canal and featuring a more efficient reinforcing tip for cleaning and shaping the root canal. This literature review demonstrates the effectiveness of the XP-endo® Shaper in primary tooth root canal treatment. It is concluded that the use of the XP-endo® Shaper in pulpectomy treat-ment yields faster and better results.

Abstract

Panoramic radiographs are used to diagnose oral diseases, monitor dentofacial development, and evaluate treatment proce-dures. This article discusses panoramic radiographs in paediatric patients under 6 years of age according to age, gender, di-sease diagnosis at RSGMP Universitas Hasanuddin. In this descriptive observational study, cross-sectional data collection was used on all paediatric patients who underwent panoramic radiography from January to December 2023. The reasons for taking panoramic radiographs were categorised as early childhood caries, oral pathologies, dentoalveolar fractures, developmental ano-malies, and others. A total of 202 panoramic radiographs were taken from paediatric patients aged 2-6 years; 82 children aged 5 years were the most common. Girls accounted for 107 of the patients. The most common case diagnosis was early childhood caries with 167 children. It was concluded that the use of panoramic radiographs in paediatric patients is not intended as a gene-ral screening. It should be limited to children under 6 years of age unless absolutely necessary.

Abstract

Odontectomy is one of the surgical procedures used to remove impacted teeth. Flap design is an important variable in oral surgery procedures, as it is useful for optimal visibility, access to the surgical area, and the healing process. Although envelope flaps and triangular flaps are the most commonly used designs, complications following odontectomy still frequently occur. This article dis-cusses the use of an alternative flap design, the reversed triangular flap, in relation to post-odontectomy complications of the third molar in the lower jaw. The selection of the reversed triangular flap showed a lower incidence of dehiscence and lower bleeding scores compared to the triangular flap. The use of the reversed triangular flap also showed a lower incidence of dehiscence com-pared to the envelope flap. It is concluded that the reversed triangular flap can be used as a safe flap design option with minimal post-odontectomy effects compared to the triangular flap and envelope flap.

Abstract

Patients with flat ridge due to alveolar bone resorption will have reduced denture retention and support. The modification moulding technique is a moulding performed on the upper and lower jaws as a solution to address loose dentures by improving retention, stability and pressure distribution. This article discusses the effectiveness of modification moulding in the treatment of flat ridge on the upper and lower jaws. A 49-year-old man came to the Prosthodontics Department of Unhas Dental Hospital to have a new denture made because the old denture was loose. Subjective and objective examinations were found to be flat on the upper and lower lingir. After being treated with modification moulding, it showed accurate occlusion, good retention and stability and even pressure distribution, thus improving the patient's masticatory function and aesthetics. It was concluded that modification moulding is effective for the treatment of upper and lower jaw flat ridge

Abstract

Cephalometric analysis plays an important role in planning corrective treatment and assessing changes that occur during orthodontic treatment. One of the most commonly used cephalometric analyses is the Steiner analysis, which is used to determine the anteroposterior position of the maxilla and mandible, particularly the SNA, SNB, and ANB angles. Longitudinal studies conducted between 1940 and 1960 serve as the commonly used standard of normality and function as the baseline for evaluation. However, the morphological variations between different ethnic groups and populations cannot be ignored and should be considered when determining cephalometric normalcy standards for various racial and ethnic groups. To address this issue, some researchers have attempted to define cephalometric values for different ethnic groups to provide a more comprehensive approach. This study compares the standard cephalometric values of Steiner analysis (SNA, SNB, ANB) across different ethnic groups. It was concluded that there are specific standard cephalometric values for each ethnic group, making them highly useful for diagnosis and developing treatment plans.

Abstract

One of the important steps in endodontic treatment is root canal preparation using files. Instrumentation difficulties in significantly curved root canals increase with increasing curvature angles, so adequate equipment is needed to handle them. In root canal preparation using a machine, there are two types of file movements commonly used: continuous rotation (CR) motion and reci-procating motion. The CR has several drawbacks, including the risk of file fracture due to interlocking and the need for multiple file sizes, which prolongs treatment time. The Reciprocating File System (RFS) is of interest because it can use a single file and has good resistance to torsional failure and cyclic fatigue. This study examines the effectiveness and efficiency of RFS in root canal curvature preparation. It is concluded that RFS is nearly as effective as CR but more efficient because it can use a single file and, specifically, has resistance to interlocking in the root canal as it does not easily lock.

Abstract

Severe alveolar bone resorption is a challenge in the fabrication of complete dentures. Loss of all teeth often leads to impaired masticatory function, which can affect the digestive system and nutritional intake. The close mouth moulding technique is sug-gested to overcome the limitations of conventional techniques in flat ridge cases, in order to obtain a denture that is firm and comfortable to use, especially when chewing. This article describes the treatment of a flat ridge case in a patient with digestive and nutritional disorders, using the close mouth moulding technique. A 65-year-old woman came to RSGMP Unhas with com-plaints of loose dentures making it difficult to chew, and even had to undergo hospitalisation due to complaints of heartburn so that it was recommended to use a denture by an internal medicine doctor. The patient wanted to make a denture that was firm, comfortable, and improved his appearance. The patient was made an acrylic CD with a close mouth moulding technique. It was concluded that the close mouth moulding technique was effective in producing CDs that were firm, stable, and could restore masticatory function in patients with flat ridge.

Abstract

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) can facilitate implant osseointegration as it functions in the bone healing process. Chlorella vulgaris creates an intracellular bioactive substance called chlorella growth factor (CGF) that can promote bone growth. This study dis-cusses PRP coating and CV 5% ointment on the formation of bone-implant contact (BIC) after dental implant placement in a labo-ratory experiment with a quasi-experimental post-test group design. The samples were 12 implant-placed tooth sockets from 2 male Landrace pigs divided into 2 groups: 5% CV ointment and PRP coating. SEM photographs were taken on day 22 postim-plantation. The sig value of 0.018 was less than α, so there was a significant difference between the BIC of the implants coated with PRP and CV 5%. PRP as a coating on the implant surface can stimulate the bone remodeling process. CV 5% as a bioactive material injected into the socket before implant placement can stimulate the growth and development of fibroblasts and is antipro-teolytic and stimulates tissue formation. It is concluded that PRP coating and 5% CV ointment have effect on the process of BIC formation after dental implant placement.
