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

Elastodontics is a functional orthodontic approach using removable elastomeric appliances that generate light forces to correct malocclusion. This therapy is effective in both the primary and mixed dentition phases because it can influence jaw growth, improve tooth position, and correct bad habits such as oral brea-thing and atypical swallowing. Bioactivators, as an evolution of elastodontics, offer benefits such as comfort, low cost, short treatment time, and improved neuro-muscular function and dentoalveolar balance. Its elastomeric structure allows for adjustment without impressions, making it more practical than conventional appliances. However, there are limitations in its inability to rotate certain posterior teeth and its dependence on patient compliance. It is concluded that elasto-dontics is an alternative interceptive therapy that has the potential to reduce the need for further orthodontic intervention, while supporting the harmonious growth of the stomatognathic system.

Abstract

The high prevalence of malocclusion has led to an increased demand for fixed orthodontic treatment. This phenomenon is exploited by non-professional practitioners, which risks harming patients if the choice of practitioner is inappropriate; therefore, it is necessary to determine the level of knowledge underlying decision-making, taking into account differences in environment and access to information between boarding and non-boarding secondary school students, by comparing the level of knowledge of boarding and non-boarding secondary school students in Makassar regarding the selection of fixed orthodontic treat-ment practitioners. Using a quantitative method and an analytical observational design via a cross-sectional study approach, 150 respondents (75 boarding stu-dents and 75 non-boarding students) were involved in Biringkanaya District, Makassar City. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analysed using an independent samples t-test, which showed that the mean knowledge level of non-boarding students (62.17) fell into the ‘adequate’ category, whilst that of boarding students (52.03) fell into the ‘inadequate’ category. Statistical analysis revealed a significant level of 0.000 (p<0.05), proving a significant difference in knowledge levels between the two groups. It was concluded that non-boarding students possess a higher level of knowledge regarding the selection of fixed orthodontic appliances.

Abstract

Pembesaran gingiva adalah suatu kondisi ukuran gingiva meningkat yang dapat menyebabkan masalah estetika dan kebersihan gigi. Salah satu etiologi pembesaran gingiva adalah faktor sistemik yang disebabkan oleh konsumsi obat-obatan dari golongan calcium channel blocker. Amlodipine yang dikonsumsi oleh pasien hipertensi dapat memicu pembesaran gingiva. Gingivektomi dilakukan untuk menghilangkan kantong dan peradangan gingiva sehingga didapatkan gingiva yang fisiologis, fungsional dan estetik. Seorang perempuan berusia 47 tahun datang ke Rumah Sakit Gigi Universitas Hasanuddin, Makassar dengan keluhan kurang nyaman dan tidak percaya diri dengan kondisi gusi bagian depan rahang atas dan bawah sejak enam bulan sebelumnya. Pasien mengkonsumsi obat hipertensi yaitu amlodipine 10 mg sekali sehari sejak 2 tahun yang lalu. Setelah desinfeksi daerah operasi, anestesi dengan lidokain 2% nor epinefrin, menandai poket dengan menggunakan pocket marker basis, insisi dengan menggunakan pisau Krickland, pengangkatan gingiva dengan menggunakan pisau Orban dan skeling dan root planing, digunakan periodontal pack. Disimpulkan bahwa penderita hipertensi yang mengkonsumsi amlodipine dapat memicu pembesaran gingiva.
