Abstract

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is the main cause of non-dental pain in the orofacial area. The causes and mechanisms of TMD are not yet fully understood. Generally, there are many factors that contribute to TMD, or mechanisms that exacerbate the condition. One of the primary causes of TMD is malocclusion. This study discusses the role of orthodontic treatment in managing TMD. Orthodontics is one of the treatments used to address this condition. Orthodontic treatment is one of the definitive long-term treatments for patients with various temporomandibular joint disorders through the proper use of various orthodontic ap-pliances. Therefore, orthodontic treatment is expected to improve oral health, functionality, and aesthetic appearance. It is con-cluded that orthodontic treatment can balance the bite of the upper and lower jaws, thereby achieving a normal bite.

Abstract

Malnutrition is defined as insufficient, unbalanced, or excessive intake of macronutrients, micronutrients, or both. Malnutrition does not cause periodontal disease, but it increases the risk of its occurrence and accelerates its progression. This study observed changes in the periodontium of malnourished children after treatment. A boy came to the Unhas Dental Hospital after being re-ferred from a hospital, complaining of swollen gums, bright red colour, and easy bleeding, especially when eating and brushing his teeth. The patient tended to eat soft foods, was born with a history of low birth weight, had frequent fevers, and had no history of seizures or drug allergies. Upon examination, his weight was 17 kg, and he appeared pale. Intraorally, his OH was poor, with gi-ngival enlargement, bright red, and easy bleeding. Laboratory tests and consultation with a paediatrician revealed no blood dis-orders or systemic diseases, and he was prescribed multivitamins. After one session of DHE and manual supragingival scaling by the dentist, improvement in the gums was observed. The patient also began to be able to eat more solid foods. It was conclu-cluded that nutritional improvement and the elimination of plaque and calculus factors are effective in managing generalised gi-ngivitis influenced by malnutrition.

Abstract

Pain management remains a top priority for dentists, including in the treatment of paediatric patients. Local anaesthesia injections remain one of the most feared procedures in paediatric dentistry. Paediatric dentistry as a profession has undergone many chan-ges due to advances in technology, materials and disease knowledge. Newer non-pharmacological approaches have been de-veloped to provide injections that are virtually painless. This article summarises the latest advances in non-pharmacological lo-cal anaesthesia techniques. It is concluded that effective and pain-free local anaesthesia is crucial for fostering a positive atti-tude and maintaining good oral health in children through a positive relationship with the dentist.

Abstract

Orofacial myofunctional exercises are facial and lip muscle exercises that play a role in orofacial functions such as speaking, chewing, and swallowing. Interceptive orthodontic treatment is used to reduce the severity of malocclusion, improve facial con-tours and increase self-confidence, eliminate bad habits, encourage normal tooth eruption, and improve growth patterns. This ar-ticle informs that oral and orofacial exercises help reduce the severity of malocclusion, control unhealthy oral habits, and improve muscle and speech abilities while maintaining the harmony of orofacial function. It is concluded that orofacial myofunctional exer-cises are exercises related to the muscles of the face and lips that play a role in orofacial functions such as speaking, chewing, and swallowing, and can help reduce the severity of dental malocclusion if performed early as part of orthodontic treatment.

Abstract

Phthisis bulbi is an eye condition caused by the healing of wounds due to severe trauma, inflammation, or tumour necrosis. Eye-related disabilities can cause significant physical and emotional distress. This case report describes prosthetic rehabilitation in a patient with phthisis bulbi using a simple digital photography technique for iris creation, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing and satisfactory outcome. A 23-year-old woman diagnosed with left eye atrophy bulbi/phthisis bulbi was referred to RSGMP Un-has for ocular prosthesis fabrication. After anatomical eye moulding, the laboratory stage followed, involving the creation of a wax pattern and acrylic scleral shell, followed by a try-in on the patient, iris creation using photography techniques, and ocular prosthesis insertion. It was concluded that iris creation using digital photography techniques can produce aesthetic ocular pros-theses and save more time than conventional techniques.

Abstract

Tooth loss can affect the aesthetics, function, psychology and social condition ofpatients, especially in the front teeth. This can be prevented with immediate denture prosthetic rehabilitation to avoid the tooth loss phase. This article reports the success of lo-wer jaw immediate denture treatment incases of tooth extraction caused by periodontal abnormalities in order tomaintain function and aesthetics in patients. Clinical examination showed tooth loss in 31, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 43, 44, 45, 46, and 48, accompanied by severe resorption of the alveolar ridge. Extraction of teeth 33, 32, 41, and 42 was performed after the denturewas fabricated. It was concluded that immediate denture treatment of the lower jaw can maintain the function and aesthetics of patients with tooth extraction caused by periodontal disorders.

Abstract

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is a collective term for a group of musculoskeletal conditions involving pain and or dys-function in the masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joints and associated structures. Occlusal equilibration in occlusal splint (OS) was then performed for the patient by selective tooth grinding, because it was estimated that the interocclusal space bet-ween upper and lower occlusal surfaces would be rectified by selective grinding. This article provides information about patient management with OS combined selective grinding on postural balance of patients with signs and symptoms of TMD. A 32-year-old female patient came to the Prosthodontics Department Hasanuddin University Hospital with a chief complaint of pain in the left TMJ. It is concluded that conservative treatment including counselling, selective grinding, OS therapy, and others should be considered as a first-choice therapy for TMD pain because of their low risk of side effects. In the case of severe acute pain or chronic pain resulting from serious disorders, inflammation or degeneration pharmacotherapy, minimally inva-sive and invasive procedures should be considered.

Abstract

Interprofessional teamwork is essential in performing medical procedures to ensure effective and efficient healthcare services. This case report discusses teamwork at the Hasanuddin University Dental and Oral Health Education Hospital in rehabilitating a case that required interprofessional collaboration. A 17-year-old female patient came to the Prosthodontics Clinic of the Hasa-nuddin University Dental and Oral Hospital, referred from the Pedodontics Department, which had performed root canal treatment due to a fractured upper front tooth caused by a traffic accident. A post crown was made on the fractured tooth 12 and a veneer was applied to the upper anterior jaw to correct the rotation and improve aesthetics. It was concluded that the treatment using an interprofessional collaborative approach in rehabilitating cases requiring aesthetic correction was successfully performed, and the patient was satisfied.

Abstract

Dental sleep medicine (DSM) is a branch of dentistry that generally focuses on the treatment of patients with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), using oral appliances (OA). Orofacial pain, xerostomia, hy-persalivation, gastroesophageal reflux, and bruxism are also included in SDB related to teeth and gums. DSM covers conditi-ons originating from the teeth, mouth, facial structures, and temporomandibular joints, as well as factors that affect the quality and/ or quantity of sleep. OA or mandibular advancement devices are effective for SDB treatment because they are cooperative and individual variations in their use can determine the success of treatment. This study reviews and provides a comprehensive over-view of the role of DSM in the treatment of SDB cases. It is concluded that DSM such as OA or MAD used in cooperative pa-tients is an effective treatment for SDB cases.
