Abstract

Many mouthwashes in circulation today have the risk of side effects and also not a few synthetic ingredients that have a pungent aroma, so that other alternative mouthwashes made from herbs are needed. This study aims to evaluate the physical stability of moringa leaf extract (MLE) in mouthwash preparations based on pH, viscosity, stability, and organoleptic tests. With the design of post-test only control experimental research using sample of pre-clinical students class 2024 Faculty of Dentistry, Baiturrah-mah University. MLE was prepared using maceration method with 96% ethanol into mouthwash preparations of 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.04%; positive control was chlorhexidine 0.2%, and negative control was aquadest. The physical stability of the mouthwash was evaluated for colour, aroma, taste, and shape. MLE mouthwash 0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.04% had neutral pH values, with good stability test without separation, viscosity met the standard (≤7.25 cPs), organoleptic test was liked by more than 80% of res-pondents. It is concluded that MLE in mouthwash preparation has good physical stability and is most favoured by respondents with a concentration of 0.02%.

Abstract

Although complications of ankyloglossia management are very low, bleeding, recurrence, lip injury, Wharton's duct injury, infection, lingual dysfunction, weight loss, pain and airway compromise may occur; recurrence being the highest. This article discusses the complications of conventional frenuloplasty technique and z-plasty technique in ankyloglossia cases in Makassar from January 2019 to March 2022. A total of 21 children aged 7 months to 10 years had ankyloglossia, 17 cases were treated with z-plasty technique and 4 cases with conventional technique. Haemorrhage occurred in 1 patient of z-plasty technique and recurrence oc-curred in 2 conventional techniques. It was concluded that conventional frenuloplasty technique more often caused recurrence complications. The z-plasty technique frenuloplasty did not show recurrence but due to aggressive tissue release it may cause bleeding although the incidence rate is very low.

Abstract

Streptococcus mutans is one of the constituent micro-organisms of dental plaque. These bacteria adhere to the denture base causing plaque that causes denture stomatitis. To reduce the growth of S.mutans, cleaning is done by brushing and soaking with herbal ingredients that can inhibit the growth of these bacteria, namely ajwa dates (Phoenix dactylifera L.). This study dis-cusses the inhibition and minimum killing power of ADE on the growth of S.mutans through experimental tests with disc diffu-sion and dilussion techniques with post test group type using 24 samples. The results of the Anova test obtained p-value= 0.000 (p<0.05), meaning that there is a significant difference between ADE treatments of 1.5625%, 3.125%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 25% and 50%. It is concluded that the MIC value of EKA is 12.5% while the MKC value of EKA is 50%.

Abstract

Safe and effective natural alternative materials are needed, one of which is red betel leaf extract (Piper crocatum) or RBL which contains many active compounds that have antifungal effects. This study discusses the effectiveness of 10% and 20% concen-trations of RBL extract on the growth of Candida albicans colonies on thermoplastic nylon bases. A pure laboratory experimental study with a post-test only control group design was conducted using 9 samples of 1x1x0.2 cm thermoplastic nylon base soaked in C.albicans suspension for 24 hours, then grouped by extract concentration and soaked for 6 hours. Samples were grown on sa-bouraud dextrose agar media and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. The number of colonies was determined with a colony coun-ter and analysed with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. The average number of colonies in aquadest group was 126, the 10% extract group was 28 colonies, while the 20% extract group had no colonies. It was concluded that the 20% RBL extract was most effective in killing C.albicans colonies. This effectiveness is obtained from the work of bioactive compounds in RBL that damage the walls and metabolism of fungal cells. The contact duration of 6 hours provides optimal time for penetration of active compounds to the surface of the material.

Abstract

This article analyses the comparison of inflammatory cytokine profiles in gingival crevicular fluid (GSF) in subjects using metal-ceramic and all-ceramic fixed dentures; through a literature review with data collection from various related studies. The study re-sults indicate that metal-ceramic prostheses tend to elicit higher levels of inflammatory mediators, such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, compared to all-ceramic prostheses. These differences are associated with the surface characteristics of the materials and the level of prosthesis margin adaptation. It was concluded that the choice of prosthesis material significantly influences the inflam-matory response of periodontal tissue, so all-ceramic materials with CAD/CAM technology are more recommended for main-taining long-term periodontal health.

Abstract

To analyze the validity of maternal and child perceptions regarding the oral health status of 5- and 6-year-old children at Raja-wali Catholic Kindergarten in Makassar, a cross-sectional study with an analytic observational design was conducted. Data were collected through questionnaires (for mothers), interviews using facial expression cards (for children), and clinical exami-nations. The results showed a prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) of 62.5%, with 34.6% of children presenting at least one instance of untreated caries-related complication. Mothers and children have a fair agreement regarding the child’s oral health (ICC=0.327). Maternal perception demonstrated a stronger correlation with clinical findings (r=0.692 for dmft; r=0.511 for pufa) compared to the child’s perception (r=0.290 and r=0.229, respectively). The area under the curve for maternal perception of treatment need reached 0.851 (dmft) and 0.789 (pufa), with the highest sensitivity recorded at 86.1% and specificity at 97.5%.

Abstract

Anemia of chronic disease (ACD) is a normochromic normocytic anaemia that occurs in patients with chronic diseases. Desqua-mative cheilitis is a condition of persistent inflammation and sloughing of the lips. This article presents the condition of desqua-mative glossitis in a patient with ACD, along with its manifestations, pathophysiology, and management in dentistry. A 48-year-old woman came to the emergency room of Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Purwokerto Hospital on 27 September 2024 with the main complaint of shortness of breath since two days ago, accompanied by cough, chest pain, fever, enlarged abdomen, full-ness, and dry lips that bleed easily. The patient had a history of uterine myoma and had been curetted. The complete blood test showed that the patient had ACD. The patient was treated with blood transfusion therapy and pharmacological medication in the form of sterile infusions, antifibrinolytic injections, antifungal, antibacterial, and mutivitamins. It was concluded that ACD is an iron deficiency condition that can cause secondary infection in the form of desquamative cheilitis, treated by increasing iron in-take and stress management.

Abstract

The use of fixed orthodontic appliances can cause side effects, one of which is tooth discolouration, which can affect patient com-fort and confidence. This study examines the relationship between fixed orthodontic treatment and the degree of tooth discolora-tion. Descriptive analytical study with a cross-sectional approach using 24 subjects; 12 users and 12 non-users of fixed orthodon-dontic appliances. After Spearman correlation test, it was found that the mean discolouration score in users of fixed orthodontic appliances was 1.25, while non-users was 0.5. There was a significant relationship between the use of fixed orthodontic ap-pliances and tooth discolouration (r=0.63; p=0.001), indicating a strong correlation. It is concluded that there is a significant and strong relationship between the use of fixed orthodontic treatment and the level of tooth discolouration.

Abstract

Hypertension can have an impact on oral conditions, including a decrease in salivary pH and viscosity which has the potential to affect tooth structure due to enamel demineralisation. The study describes the description of hypertension conditions on salivary pH in seniors in the BLUD UPTD Puskesmas Banjar 2 work area in October 2024. Descriptive study was conducted on subjects who were willing and met the inclusion criteria; measured blood pressure and salivary pH using litmus paper on 60 respon-dents aged 54-80 years with a history of hypertension with blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg. Respondent data were 63% aged 61-70 years and 90% were female. Most respondents (90%) had mild hypertension with the highest pH of 5 and 6. Salivary acidi-ty tends to decrease as the severity of hypertension increases. It was concluded that hypertension in the elderly not only risks systemic health but also has a significant impact on oral health. The decrease in salivary pH due to hypertension needs to be a concern in the oral health care of the elderly, especially to prevent complications due to a more acidic oral environment.

Abstract

Oral regenerative therapy requires agents with antibacterial and osteogenic properties to address hard tissue damage caused by infection or trauma. Galam leaves (Melaleuca cajuputi), a plant native to Southeast Asia, are known to contain bioactive com-pounds such as flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, and saponins that support tissue healing. This article systematically reviews the potential of galam leaf extract as an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenic agent in oral regenerative therapy, based on literature evaluating the biological activity and safety of galam leaf extract, particularly against oral pathogenic bacteria and its ability to stimulate osteogenesis. Galam leaf extract has been proven to have antibacterial activity against S.mutans, Lactobacil-lus plantarum, and P.gingivalis. Its combination with tricalcium silicate cement increases the number of odontoblast-like cells and lymphocytes. Toxicity tests indicate that the extract is safe for topical use even at high concentrations. It is concluded that galam leaf extract is a candidate for the development of biomaterials in regenerative therapy due to its multifunctional and safe properties.
