Abstract

Perawatan kasus edentulus sebagian memerlukan perhatian khusus terhadap prinsip desain dan estetika. Hybrid prosthesis de-ngan precision attachment telah menjadi salah satu pilihan untuk mengatasi kasus gigi tiruan cekat dengan free-end. Artikel ini menggambarkan penggunaan hybrid prosthesis dengan precision attachment dalam mengatasi kasus edentulus sebagian kom-pleks. Seorang wanita berusia 56 tahun datang ke RSGMP Universitas Hasanuddin dengan keluhan hilangnya beberapa gigi di rahang atas dan bawah, serta ada gigi yang goyah. Hasil rehabilitasi mulut lengkap ini melibatkan penggunaan hybrid prosthe-sis dengan precision attachment pada RA, serta pemasangan gigi tiruan kerangka logam pada RB untuk koreksi estetika. Disim-pulkan bahwa penggunaan precision attachment pada hybrid prosthesis memberikan banyak manfaat, meskipun membutuhkan tahapan klinis dan teknologi yang tepat, serta pengetahuan dan keterampilan yang baik bagi operator dan teknisi laboratorium.

Abstract

Smoking behaviour among adolescents has become one of the main factors affecting dental and oral health, particularly in in-creasing the risk of caries. Data from Health Office of Padang City shows a high prevalence of dental caries at SMKN 2 Padang. This article reports the results of a study on the consequences of external factors of smoking behaviour on the risk of dental caries among adolescent smokers and non-smokers at SMKN 2 Padang. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted with 68 Grade XI students at SMKN 2 Padang. Data were collected through oral cavity examinations using the DMF-T index and ques-tionnaires evaluating external factors such as the influence of parents, peers, and cigarette advertisements. Univariate data ana-lysis was presented in tables, and bivariate analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test. It was found that smoking stu-dents had a higher severity of caries compared to non-smoking students. A total of 13 students (19.12%) who smoked had very high levels of caries, while 34 non-smoking students had a caries level of 0. It was concluded that dental caries in smokers was higher and the main cause was peer influence.

Abstract

The use of antibiotics in the treatment of periodontitis often causes resistance, so alternative natural ingredients are needed. Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) contains active compounds, which have antibacterial properties. This study tested the effec-tiveness of aloe vera extract against the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis by measuring the inhibition zone, minimum inhibito-ry concentration (MIC), and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). This laboratory experimental study used the disc diffu-sion method to test the inhibition zone and the dilution method to determine the MIC and MBC with extract concentrations of 3.12%, 6.25%, 12.50%, 25%, 50%, and 100%, with metronidazole as the positive control and 96% ethanol as the negative con-trol. Aloe vera extract effectively inhibited the growth of P.gingivalis. The largest inhibition zone diameter was found at a concen-centration of 100% (27.16 mm), while the lowest concentration was 3.12% (8.8 mm). The MIC value was found at 3.12%, and the MBC value at 12.50%. The higher the concentration of aloe vera extract, the greater the inhibitory effect produced. Even at 50% and 100%, its effectiveness was higher than that of metronidazole. It is concluded that aloe vera extract has potential as a natural antibacterial agent against P.gingivalis and may be an alternative in the treatment of periodontal disease.

Abstract

Gingival enlargement can be caused by plaque accumulation, triggering inflammation of the gingiva that affects aesthetics and makes cleaning difficult. This condition needs to be treated as early as possible with gingivectomy and gingivoplasty. This article describes the procedures of gingivectomy and gingivoplasty in patients with gingival enlargement accompanied by poor oral hy-giene. A 19-year-old woman came to Unimus Dental Hospital complaining of enlarged anterior gums that bled when brushing her teeth. Clinical examination revealed rounded, reddened gums with an unstippled texture and soft consistency, no recession, BOP (+) on certain teeth, and grade 0 mobility. Panoramic radiography showed no bone resorption. Conventional gingivectomy and gingivoplasty were performed on teeth 12, 11, 21, 22, and 42. At the 2-week postoperative check-up, the gums were no longer inflamed, with the gingival margin following the contour of the teeth, and there was a noticeable difference before and after gi-ngivectomy. The patient had no complaints or pain. It was concluded that the gingivectomy procedure provided satisfactory re-sults for the patient both aesthetically and medically.

Abstract

Oral health promotion among school age children requires innovative and engaging strategies to address persistent challenges such as dental caries and poor hygiene practices. Co-design methodology emphasizes the active involvement of end user chil-dren, parents, teachers, and health professionals in developing interventions tailored to their needs and context. This study re-views the use of a co-design approach in developing a school-based digital health application to improve oral health behaviors in children. The review examined stakeholder involvement, including children, parents, teachers, and health professionals in sha-ping content, usability, and engagement features of oral health applications. Evidence indicates that co-design enhances the re-levance, usability, and acceptability of digital oral health interventions by integrating the lived experiences and preferences of tar-get users. Applications developed through co-design showed higher levels of engagement, improved oral health knowledge, and better adherence to preventive behaviors among school children. It is concluded that co-design enhances the relevance, usabi-bility, and acceptability of digital oral health interventions by integrating the lived experiences and preferences of target users.

Abstract

Several sleep-related breathing disorders include sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), upper airway resistance syndrome, and obstructive sleep apnoea. Myofunctional therapy involves exercises designed to improve coordination, strength, and control of the orofacial muscles. This review was prepared in accordance with PRISMA and adapted to journal guidelines. This study shows that myofunctional therapy is an effective non-surgical approach to managing sleep-disordered breathing in children. Through orofacial muscle exercises, this therapy has the potential to reduce the severity of SDB symptoms and improve children's sleep quality. Myofunctional therapy not only helps to overcome airway obstruction caused by enlarged adenoids or tonsils, but also contributes to the improvement of overall orofacial function. It is concluded that a holistic approach to SDB management can provide better results than traditional methods such as the use of continuous positive airway pressure or surgical intervention.

Abstract

Untreated dental caries can progress to pulp necrosis and subsequently to root gangren; both conditions have the potential to cause infection if left untreated. This study compared the prevalence of pulp necrosis and root gangrene cases based on gender and age at the Baturiti II Tabanan Community Health Centre during January-March 2025. A quantitative descriptive method was used with purposive sampling techniques on secondary data from the e-puskesmas system. The prevalence of root gang-rene (7.2%) was higher than that of pulp necrosis (5.9%). Female patients dominated in both cases, accounting for 52.7% of pulp necrosis cases and 56.5% of root gangrene cases. The 20-44 age group was the most common for pulp necrosis (42.1%), while root gangrene was most common in the 45-59 age group (34.8%). This indicates delayed dental care contributing to di-sease progression. Low levels of public knowledge and behavioural factors also contribute to the high incidence rates. It is con-cluded that there is a need to improve communication, information, and education regarding oral health, particularly at the pri-mary healthcare facility level.

Abstract

Burning mouth syndrome (BMS), or glossopyrosis, is a condition characterised by a burning sensation or pain in certain areas of the oral cavity, particularly the tongue, without any changes to the surface of the oral tissue. Some data indicate that BMS suffer-ers are not being treated properly, highlighting the importance of clinical education about BMS for practitioners. This study explo-res the level of knowledge of professional students about BMS. This descriptive analytical cross-sectional study used a ques-tionnaire to collect data, with 74.2% of respondents demonstrating good knowledge of BMS and showing motivation to learn after completing the Clinical Readiness Programme. It was concluded that professional students have a good level of knowledge about BMS, but further research is needed, especially among undergraduate dental students, to increase awareness and knowledge about BMS.
