Abstract

The use of hydrogen peroxide bleaching agents can disrupt tissue permeability, causing lesions due to the demineralisation pro-cess caused by the acidic nature of the bleaching agent. A remineralisation agent is required. Casein phosphopeptide-amorph-ous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) is a widely used material in preventive dentistry and has been proven to provide protection against acid. This article provides an overview of the surface morphology of teeth treated with CPP-ACP paste. The study was an experimental laboratory design with a pre-posttest and control group. Ten samples were evenly divided into two groups: control and treatment. The control samples were immersed in artificial saliva for 24 hours and then rinsed with distilled water. The treat-ment samples were treated with 35% hydrogen peroxide for 2 hours, then cleaned with distilled water and observed using SEM. Subsequently, CPP-ACP paste was applied every 8 hours for 14 consecutive days, followed by SEM observation. CPP-ACP paste was found to help inhibit demineralisation and enhance the remineralisation process of teeth. It was concluded that teeth treated with CPP-ACP paste appeared smooth with minimal shallow scratches and exhibited porosity around them with small pore sizes.

Abstract

Root canal treatment (RCT) is an important procedure in dental conservation to preserve teeth that have undergone pulp infection or damage. This literature review examines the latest developments in RCT techniques, focusing on publications from the last five years. A systematic literature search was conducted using electronic databases with relevant keywords. The results show rapid advances in rotary instruments, minimally invasive preparation techniques, irrigation systems, obturation materials, and re-generative approaches. Imaging technologies such as CBCT and operating microscopes also contribute significantly to improving treatment success. It was concluded that the latest techniques in RCT have improved the efficiency, accuracy, and success rate of treatment, although long-term research is still needed to comprehensively validate the effectiveness.

Abstract

Gingivitis is a common oral disease with a high prevalence in Indonesia. Educational and promotional efforts are needed to raise awareness among the public, especially adolescents, about preventing gingivitis. This observational study used a cross-sectional methodology, showing the highest number of cases recorded in October 2024 (16.4%). Of the total 49 cases, 71.5% were fe-male patients. Based on age, most patients with gingivitis were in the 19-40 age range (63.3%). This condition indicates that hor-monal status in women can affect the condition of gingival tissue. It is concluded that gingivitis cases at the Selemadeg Timur I Health Centre are more commonly experienced by women and, based on age, most frequently occur in the 19-40 age range.

Abstract

With a balanced pH, saliva protects the surface of the teeth from damage, inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and sup-ports the natural remineralisation process in tooth enamel. The quality of water used on a daily basis plays an important role in overall health, including dental and oral health. Different types of water have unique characteristics, including pH or acidity le-vels, which can affect oral health and surrounding tissues. Based on this background, this study aims to provide further insight into the pH condition of saliva in non-smokers, particularly in the male farming community in Senajam Hamlet who use swamp water for their daily needs, thereby revealing the effect of the habit of using swamp water, which has an acidic concentra-tion, on oral health. The results showed that 58% of the study participants had acidic values, 10.5% had alkaline values, and 31.5% had normal values. It was concluded that long-term use of acidic swamp water contributes to a decrease in saliva pH.

Abstract

Bimaxillary protrusion is a malocclusion characterised by the proclination of the upper and lower incisors and an increase in lip inclination, resulting in a convex facial profile and aesthetic imbalance. This article discusses the role of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) as an alternative absolute anchorage in the orthodontic management of bimaxillary protrusion, particularly in severe cases. The study was conducted based on various scientific literature and relevant case reports compiled in accord-ance with PRISMA. The study shows that TADs are more effective than conventional anchorage devices such as headgear in maintaining molar stability and producing better skeletal, dental, and soft tissue changes. It is concluded that TADs are a modern solution in orthodontics that can address the challenge of anterior tooth retraction without losing posterior anchorage and be-come a new standard in the management of bimaxillary protrusion.

Abstract

Periodontal disease in Indonesia has a case incidence rate of 96.58%, one of which is rapidly developing periodontitis, affecting approximately 10.5-12% of the world's population. Chronic periodontitis is a significant oral health problem in Indonesia, with pre-valence increasing with age. This study explores the prevalence of chronic periodontitis cases at the Dental Clinic of the Selema-deg Timur I Public Health Centre, Tabanan, Bali, using a cross-sectional research design. The data consisted of patient visit re-cords from January 2024 to March 2025, covering 266 patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis, showing that female pati-ents were more dominant with a prevalence of 56%. Based on age, the 61-65 age group had the highest number of visits (29.32%). It was concluded that there is a relationship between low educational levels and poor oral health awareness, which contributes to the high incidence of periodontitis. For prevention and treatment, procedures such as scaling, root planing, and surgical inter-vention if necessary are recommended.

Abstract

Dental health problems can occur in all age groups, especially in children, and it is important to pay attention to them. In addi-tion to caries, another common dental problem in children is persistent primary teeth. This study was conducted at the UPTD Selemadeg Timur I Community Health Centre, Tabanan, Bali, from January to March 2025. This study was conducted using an observational cross-sectional method. Data on patient visits for persistent deciduous teeth at the Selemadeg Timur I Commu-nity Health Centre, involved 359 patients. It was concluded that the high incidence of persistent teeth at the health centre may be due to a lack of knowledge among parents.

Abstract

Untreated caries can lead to pulp tissue death or pulp necrosis. Promotive and preventive measures need to be improved to re-duce the incidence of this condition with the aim of improving the quality of life of the community, especially in the dental and oral health sector. This observational study used a cross-sectional method, showing that the highest number of cases was recorded in October 2024 at 20.5%. Of the total 105 cases, 60% were female patients and 40% were male. This comparison shows that women tend to suffer from pulp necrosis more often, which can be correlated with the tendency for women to snack, causing caries to worsen into pulp necrosis. It is concluded that cases of pulp necrosis at the Selemadeg Timur I Community Health Centre are more common among women, which is related to women's snacking habits that increase the risk of caries.

Abstract

Public awareness of the importance of dental health remains low. Based on registration data at the Kerambitan II Community Health Centre for the period October 2024 to March 2025, dentine caries ranked fourth among the ten most common diseases at the clinic. A descriptive study in the form of an epidemiological case report covering six months from October 2024 to March 2025 was conducted in April 2025 at the Kerambitan II Community Health Centre. The population consisted of all patients who had their teeth and mouth examined at the Dental Clinic, and the sample consisted of all patients suffering from caries. The prevalence of dental caries between males and females showed that dental caries was more common in females. The highest number was in October 2024, with 13 females (61.90%). It was concluded that based on gender, dental caries was more common in females.

Abstract

The pulp tissue is highly susceptible to damage caused by microbial invasion, physical trauma, chemical agents, or thermal injury. This study explored the prevalence of pulp gangrene based on the time of visit, gender, and age of patients at the Dental Clinic of the Kerambitan II Community Health Centre, Tabanan, Bali, during the period October 2024 to March 2025, using observatio-nal methods and a cross-sectional approach. The total number of patient visits during this period was 892; 89 patients were diag-nosed with pulp gangrene (60.49%). The highest number of cases occurred in March 2025 (15.1%). More than 50% of patients were female and the 19-34 age group dominated (22.82%). It was concluded that there is a high prevalence of pulp gangrene in women and the productive age. Therefore, pulp capping and root canal treatment are required for patients with pulp gangrene.
