Abstract

Geriatric patients with compromised medical conditions require proper and adequate nutrition. However, patients with edentu-lous ridges cannot receive optimal intake due to decreased chewing and swallowing abilities. Conventional dentures have limi-tations when used by edentulous patients with severely resorbed ridges. Suction dentures for the mandible were introduced to address this issue. These dentures create negative pressure around the peripheral area, effectively generating suction, resulting in excellent clinical outcomes. It was reported that complete denture (CD) treatment was necessary to improve retention and stabi-lity. A 62-year-old man presented with complaints of complete tooth loss in the maxillary and mandibularly regions and difficulty chewing. The patient wished to improve his chewing ability by creating a CD. The treatment option in this case was a suction den-ture for the mandible, as the patient had severely resorbed mandibular ridges. It was concluded that this treatment resulted in a denture that was retentive, stable, comfortable, and satisfactory to the patient, thereby improving chewing and swallowing function.

Abstract

The use of removable partial dentures can be an aesthetic and functional solution for edentulous teeth. However, the use of these dentures can be a risk factor contributing to alveolar ridge resorption, leading to new challenges in prosthodontic rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between removable partial dentures and alveolar ridge resorption. Based on this literature review, it was found that the use of removable partial dentures significantly increases alveolar ridge resorption. This is also associated with bone loss and a significant decrease in mucosal height.

Abstract

Odontogenic keratocyst cyst (OKC) is a rare odontogenic cyst that commonly affects the mandible. Carnoy solution in OKC is expected to repair the remaining cyst cells after removal thereby reducing the recurrence rate. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) was applied to the cyst defect as it has been widely used as an autogenous graft material that can accelerate physiological wound healing and new bone formation. This case report describes the management of OKC before and after cyst enucleation in the mandible using carnoy solution and PRF. A 42-year-old male came to RSGMP Hasanuddin University with complaints of a lump on the left mandible since ±3 months ago. Intra oral examination, enlargement of the vestibulum region of teeth 33-34 measuring ±2x2x2 cm with palpation pain (-), crepitation (+). OPG x-ray and aspiration test were performed and a cloudy yellow liquid was obtained. The cyst was enucleated, applied carnoy solution and PRF, and histopathological examination was performed with OKC results. Four months postoperatively there were no complaints, good wound healing, and no enlargement. Control radiographs showed better bone formation than after surgery. It was concluded that enucleation of a cyst on the mandible to remove the cyst, prevent recurrence by applying carnoy solution and PRF to the cyst defect.

Abstract

Dental agenesis is the most common congenital abnormality that occurs in permanent teeth. Digital smile design (DSD) is a technology that digitally designs and modifies a patient's smile by creating a digital wax-up (DWU) before treatment begins. This aids visual communication and patient involvement in their own smile design process, thus ensuring predictable treatment out-comes and increasing patient acceptance. This article reports on maxillary anterior rehabilitation with zirconia long-span bridge illustrating aesthetic planning with DSD system and 3D DWU technique. A 21-year-old male came to the Department of Prostho-dontia, Hasanuddin University with complaints of a half-crown fracture of tooth 11 and missing teeth 12, 21, and 22. Radiographs of teeth 12 and 22 were agenesis because there were no seeds and had never been extracted so the smile was not aesthetic. Root canal treatment had previously been performed on teeth 11 and 13 with fibre post. It was concluded that the use of DSD and 3D DWU for the treatment of zirconia long-span bridge is a rehabilitation treatment option for upper edentulous parsialis. This prosthesis improved facial and dental aesthetics, functional occlusion, phonetics, and comfort.

Abstract

Regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) has emerged as a transformative approach in the treatment of necrotic pulp in perma-nent teeth, aiming to regenerate the entire pulp-dentin complex to improve tooth vitality, function, and longevity. The core of re-generative endodontics lies in biologically based management strategies. Recent innovations in RET revolve around two main concepts: the implementation of tissue engineering technologies to promote pulp-dentin regeneration and revascularisation pro-cesses that induce the formation of new living tissue from existing dental tissue to continue root development. Clinical guide-lines and protocols continue to evolve, encompassing various approaches such as revascularisation, the use of autologous pla-telet-rich plasma and scaffolds to trigger host stem cell migration and tissue formation. Literature searches were conducted via Google Scholar. It is concluded that RET is one of the treatment options for teeth diagnosed with necrosis accompanied by an open apex. The success of RET depends on case selection criteria, meticulous implementation of the treatment protocol, and careful monitoring of outcomes.

Abstract

Complete tooth loss is a very common case encountered by dentists, especially in elderly patients. Denture fabrication is the appropriate option for cases of tooth loss. In situations where some natural teeth remain, prosthodontists face a dilemma in de-termining treatment. In some cases, overdentures are a beneficial treatment option. Based on the philosophy of preventive pros-thodontics, overdentures offer long-term benefits in preserving kinesthesia and remaining alveolar bone. This article discusses rehabilitation treatment for patients with two remaining natural teeth in the lower jaw using telescopic complete dentures. It is concluded that telescopic dentures excel in terms of retention, stability, support, and psychological aspects for patients.

Abstract

This article reports on a study of the relationship between the level of public knowledge and fixed orthodontic treatment perform-formed by non-dentist operators. Subjects were patients who were undergoing orthodontic treatment with non-dentist operators. This study used an analytical observational research method with a cross-sectional research design using consecutive sampling on 96 people. The sample was given a questionnaire to obtain data, namely the knowledge of majority of respondents (52.1%) had a poor level of knowledge regarding fixed orthodontic treatment. Spearman correlation test showed correlation between de-pendent and independent variables with p-value=0.000 and correlation coefficient = -0.557. It is concluded that there is a rela-tionship between knowledge level and orthodontic treatment performed by non-dentist operators.

Abstract

Dental impressioning aims to produce accurate moulds of teeth and oral tissues. Impression materials and moulds must meet cri-teria such as precision, non-toxicity, and adequate setting time. Selecting the appropriate impression material is crucial for pro-ducing accurate and high-quality dental prostheses. This study discusses various types of impression materials, both elastic and non-elastic, and identifies the most effective materials for making dental prostheses. Polyvinylsiloxane (PVS) is the most widely used and most accurate impression material compared to others, as PVS has high dimensional stability, superior accuracy, and good elastic recovery. It is concluded that ongoing education and training on materials and impression techniques are essential to achieve optimal results.

Abstract

It is necessary to evaluate the labial and palatal bone thickness of maxillary anterior teeth based on gender and age to provide in-formation for prosthodontic treatment planning. This study used an observational design with the Mann-Whitney U statistical test to compare the labial and palatal bone thickness of 6 maxillary anterior teeth between gender (male and female) and age (under and over 30 years old) groups. Measurements were taken at three labial and three palatal points using CBCT. The results showed significant differences in labial bone thickness at several measurement points, with men having significantly greater labial bone thickness than women (p<0.05). Differences in palatal bone thickness according to gender were only seen at one point but were not significant. Individuals under 30 years old showed greater labial and palatal bone thickness than those over 30 years old at certain points (p<0.05). It was concluded that gender affects labial bone thickness more significantly than palatal bone, while in-creasing age plays a role in decreasing bone thickness in both labial and palatal bones. This knowledge can be used for more effective prosthodontic treatment planning.

Abstract

One form of caries that often occurs in children under 6 years of age is early childhood caries (ECC). Parenting plays an im-portant role in preventing caries in children through the provision of good dental care. This study examines whether paren-ting plays a role in the risk of ECC using the Dentch ECC application which has an assessment accuracy of 95.5%, with a p-value of 1.000 (p>0.05). This research method was conducted quantitatively with a cross-sectional design, involving 45 child-ren aged 4-5 years at TK Kartika 1-55 Padang City. The results showed that the most common parenting pattern was demo-cratic, as many as 35 people. It was concluded that parenting does not play a significant role in the risk of ECC.
