Abstract

Dental photography is one of the advances in digital digital technology in the field of dental photography which functions as a communication tool between dentists and patients used to help make a diagnosis. This study aimed to determine the differen-ces in knowledge of dental professional students in West Sumatra regarding dental photography. This quantitative study used a cross sectional design with 120 respondents from the Faculty of Dentistry, Baiturrahmah University and Andalas University and the sample was selected by simple random sampling. Data were collected through an online questionnaire (google form) with 14 knowledge questions. The results showed that most students had a good understanding of dental photography. The Baiturrah-mah had 38 students (63.3%) who recorded good knowledge. While at Andalas University there were 37 students (61.7%). It was concluded that there was no significant level of knowledge between students from the two universities (p-value=0.850) indicating that both groups had the same level of understanding.

Abstract

Treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances can pose various risks, especially increasing plaque accumulation. Green tea (Ca-mellia sinensis) which is one of the natural alternatives that can be used to inhibit dental plaque formation, contains catechins, flavonoids and tannins as antibacterial Streptococcus mutans which is the agent of dental plaque formation. This article discus-ses the difference in orthodontic plaque index (OPI) scores before and after rinsing with green tea brewing (GTB) in fixed ortho-dontic users. Experimental research with a one-group pretest-posttest design using research subjects namely preclinical stu-dents of Baiturrahmah University Faculty of Dentistry class 2022 and 2023 who used fixed orthodontics according to the inclu-sion criteria totalling 40 people. Data collection according to the examination of OPI score before and after gargling with GTB. Data analysis showed a significance value of p=0.000 (p<0.05) which indicated that there was a difference in OPI scores be-fore and after gargling, which decreased from 41.75% to 23.94%. It was concluded that gargling with GTB can reduce the OPI score of fixed orthodontic users.

Abstract

Intelligence quotient (IQ) and fingerprint pattern (FPP) are related because during the intrauterine period, brain and PSJ forma-tion occur almost simultaneously. Normal or abnormal genetic messages during this period will affect the brain and FPP. This study discusses the relationship between FPP and IQ level in 2021 students of the Faculty of Dentistry, Baiturrahmah Universi-ty. Analytical quantitative research was conducted on students of the Faculty of Dentistry Class of 2021 as many as 53 sam-ples with random sampling technique. Univariate analysis is presented in the form of frequency distribution, bivariate analysis using the chi-square test and data processing using the computerised SPSS v.25.0. The study showed that the most FPPs were loops, namely 37 people, the most IQ level was average, namely 40 people. It was concluded that there was no relationship between FPP and IQ level in 2021 dental students at Baiturrahmah University.

Abstract

Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by overgrowth of Candida albicans species. Noni fruit (Morinda citrifolia L.) is one of the plants that has antifungal activity through the content of compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, terpenoids, pheno-lics, and tannins. This study discusses the inhibition of noni fruit extract (NFE) at concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 20% against the growth of C.albicans using laboratory experimental methods with a descriptive approach and using a one shot case study de-sign. Noni fruit was extracted using maceration method with 96% methanol solvent. A total of 18 samples of C.albicans were divi-ded into 3 treatments, namely 10%, 15% and 20% concentrations. The inhibition test was carried out using the pitting diffusion me-thod, while the measurement of the inhibition zone using a caliper showed that 10% NFE had an inhibition that was categorised as moderate, 15% was categorised as strong, and 20% was also categorised as strong. It was concluded that noni fruit extract has inhibitory power against the growth of C.albicans, with the best effectiveness at a concentration of 20% which showed a strong inhibition category.

Abstract

Smear layer (SL) cleaning is considered a very important aspect of root canal treatment (RCT) as the SL can act as a substrate for microbial proliferation. In addition, SL has the potential to affect the adaptation of the sealer to the root canal walls and its pene-tration of the dentinal tubules. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) contains flavonoids, tripenoids/steroids, saponins, alkaloids, tannins, phenolics and essential oils. This article presents research on the ability of lemongrass leaf extract (LLE) as a root ca-nal irrigation material in removing SL. This study used an experimental post-test only control design. Samples were taken by purpo-sive sampling technique with 4 treatment groups of 6 repetitions. Based on the Mann-Whitney test, the p-value was 0.495 at ⅓ apical, 0.269 at ⅓ middle and 0.575 at ⅓ coronal (p-value>0.05). The results showed that there was no significant difference between the 17% EDTA treatment group and 20% LLE on the level of SL cleanliness. It was concluded that 20% LLE was ef-fective in removing smear layer.

Abstract

One of the obstacles experienced by dentists when making dentures is the protrusion on the maxillary bone known as torus pala-tinus. A 70-year-old woman came to RSGM-Yarsi accompanied by her child, complaining of a lump on the palate but not painful and the patient planned to make a denture. The general condition was good, extra oral examination was good, intra oral examina-tion showed a bone protrusion with a wide base, smooth surface and slightly convex on the palate durum size was bigger than 6 mm. This article discusses palatinus torectomy in an elderly patient prior to denture placement. It is concluded that palatine torectomy is one of the appropriate preprosthetic surgical treatments to reduce maxillary bone protrusion for denture fabrication.

Abstract

Typhoid fever is an acute infection of the gastrointestinal tract caused by Salmonella typhi. Oral manifestations that can appear include median rhomboid glossitis. This article reports a case of MRG in a patient with typhoid fever. A 40-year-old man with com-plaints of fever, mouth ulcers, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and blackish faeces. The diagnosis of typhoid fever was confirmed. Oral examination revealed a reddish parallelogram-shaped depapillation lesion in the centre of the tongue, which was sore and surrounded by a white coating that could be scraped off. MRG is an inflammation of the tongue characterised by erythema lesions on the median dorsum of the tongue caused by Candida infection. The finding of MRG oral lesions in this ty-phoid fever case is thought to be influenced by the condition of lymphocytopenia which causes a decrease in patient immunity, increasing the risk of opportunistic Candida infection in the oral cavity. In addition, there are also predisposing factors such as smoking habits and poor oral hygiene conditions. It is concluded that the management of MRG lesions is to provide information and education to patients to maintain oral hygiene, avoid consumption of hot and spicy foods and drinks that aggravate com-plaints on the tongue.

Abstract

Oral health knowledge should be given to school-age children. Elementary school is a very strategic group for oral health mana-gement. Audiovisual kinesthetic media is included in multimedia which contains three elements, namely visual elements (ima-ges), audio elements (sound) and motion elements at the same time. The purpose of this counseling is to change children's beha-viour in maintaining oral health. This activity was carried out in August 2024 with 35 students attending. This counselling activity for children at SDN 09 Air Pacah has gone well. The method of counselling by means of practice or demonstration was able to improve children's understanding, especially in practicing how to brush their teeth properly; even counselling by singing songs also had an effect on changes in knowledge, attitudes and application of toothbrushing actions in school-age children.

Abstract

Composite resin is a widely used dental restoration material due to its excellent mechanical and aesthetic properties; however, va-rious external factors, including exposure to chemicals in mouthwash, can affect its hardness. Red betel leaf (Piper crocatum) is known to contain phenols and have antibacterial properties, which are often used in oral health care. This article evaluates the ef-fect of immersing composite resin in DSM decoction on its hardness, analyses the impact of immersion duration, and compares its effects on various types of composite resin. This study employs a scoping review method, reviewing literature from data-bases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed from 2015 to 2025. The articles used were selected based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, screened using the PRISMA method, and data analysis was conducted by synthesi-sing the results from relevant articles. It was concluded that soaking composite resin in DSM decoction reduces the materi-al's hardness due to the chemical content in DSM and the duration of soaking. Consideration of restorative materials and their use in combination with natural materials such as red betel leaves should be taken into account in dental practice.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyse the relationship between various caries risk factors and DMF-T status in children with autism spec-trum disorders (ASD). The study was conducted cross-sectionally on 56 students at Yayasan Darul Fikri Makassar from Janua-ry to May 2024. Data were collected through clinical examination, salivary pH measurement, and questionnaires related to dental care behaviour and food consumption. Data analysed using the chi-square test showed a significant relationship between sali-vary pH and regular visits to the dentist with DMF-T status (p<0.05), while socioeconomic factors, sugar consumption, brushing frequency, and fluoride toothpaste use did not show a significant relationship. It was concluded that salivary pH and regular den-tal visits are important in caries prevention in ASD children.
