Abstract

Oral health plays an important role in creating a healthy lifestyle. Caries are the most common oral disease, affecting 60-90% of school children and nearly 100% of adults. The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of dental caries cases in paediatric and adult patients at the Baturiti II Tabanan Community Health Centre dental clinic. This quantitative study with a des-criptive observational design was conducted using purposive sampling on paediatric patients aged 6-11 years and adult patients aged 26-45 years who had dental caries at the Baturiti II Tabanan Community Health Centre Dental Clinic. The results of this study showed that there were 22 patients with dental caries who visited the clinic from January to March 2025. The highest caries group based on age was adults (82.4%), while based on gender, there were 12 males (54.5%). It was concluded that education is needed on how to maintain dental and oral health, as well as how to prevent, treat, and manage caries appropriately, in order to reduce the incidence of caries in both children and adults.

Abstract

Barodontalgia is pain in the teeth triggered by changes in air pressure during diving, and is a common complaint among profes-sional divers. One of the main risk factors for barodontalgia is poor dental health, particularly active caries or imperfect restorati-ons. This article systematically reviews the latest scientific evidence on the relationship between dental caries and the risk of ba-rodontalgia in professional divers. The article search was conducted through the PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases. The prevalence of barodontalgia in divers is 10.8-56.1%, generally caused by caries and leaky restorations. It is concluded that comprehensive dental screening and treatment should be part of the medical protocol before diving to minimise the risk of dental pain and improve diver safety.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen often associated with serious infections and antibiotic resistance. In the search for alternative treatments, marine Actinomycetes are a potential source due to their ability to produce bioactive enzymes, one of which is keratinase. In addition to its function in keratin degradation, this enzyme is also known to have potential as an antibacte-rial agent. This article explores the extraction of keratinase enzymes from marine Actinomycetes isolates and tests their antibac-terial activity against S.aureus, as a first step in the utilisation of marine biotechnology for medical and pharmaceutical purposes. This systematic review was compiled based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Initial search results of 135 articles were then excluded, yielding four articles that showed that marine Ac-tinomycetes have antibacterial potential against S.aureus. It was concluded that the extraction of keratinase enzymes from ma-rine Actinomycetes showed significant antibacterial activity against S.aureus, indicating the potential of keratinase as an alter-native agent for treating gram-positive bacterial infections, especially amid increasing resistance to antibiotics.

Abstract

The use of natural biomaterials in dentistry has grown significantly in recent decades due to increasing demand for bioactive, bio-compatible, and environmentally friendly materials. Marine algae-derived polysaccharides—such as alginate, fucoidan, carra-geenan, ulvan, and agarose—have emerged as promising candidates due to their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and bioadhesive properties. This article reviews the potential of algal polysaccharides as foundational materials for bioactive po-lymers in dentistry. Their applications include regenerative scaffolds, local drug delivery systems, root canal filling materials, and membrane guided tissue regeneration. Studies show these polysaccharides are safe, biocompatible, and support tissue rege-neration and therapeutic outcomes in oral care. However, further in vivo and clinical research, along with standardized methods for extraction and chemical modification, are necessary to ensure consistent quality and clinical effectiveness.

Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of K-files contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus and immersion in alcohol, chlorhexi-dine, and sodium hypochlorite through CFU counting. Bacteria were identified through Gram staining and dilution to obtain an ini-tial 300 CFU, then the K-files were contaminated with bacteria. The samples were divided into three groups and repeated several times in a time series. For alcohol, the groups were divided into 70% and 96% concentrations. For chlorhexidine and sodium hy-pochlorite, each concentration was divided into three groups, and CFU counting was performed manually. The CFU results after immersion in 70% alcohol for 5, 10, and 15 minutes were 28 CFU, 5 CFU, and 0 CFU; 96% alcohol was 5 CFU, 1 CFU, and 0 CFU; 0.5%, 1%, and 2% chlorhexidine for 5 minutes and 10 minutes were 0 CFU; 0.25% sodium hypochlorite was 3 CFU, and for 10 minutes was 1 CFU; 0.5% and 1% sodium hypochlorite for 5 minutes and 10 minutes were 0 CFU. It was concluded that the antibacterial effectiveness of alcohol and sodium hypochlorite against S.aureus increased with increasing disinfectant concen-tration and K-file immersion time, while chlorhexidine was effective in killing S.aureus at a concentration of 0.5%. All disinfectants were effective for K-file disinfection.

Abstract

A general dentist can be asked to assist in investigating incidents and disasters through dental identification in forensic odonto-logy. Radiography is often used because it is relatively easy and more economical. This article explores the knowledge of gene-ral dentists in Makassar regarding the role of radiology in forensic odontology. Through descriptive observational research with a cross-sectional design, data was collected from 50 general dentists practising in Makassar. A questionnaire was used to measure the general dentists' knowledge, consisting of 20 closed questions; a score of 1 was given for correct answers, and a score of 0 was given for incorrect answers. The data from the respondents' answers were divided into three knowledge categories: 50% of respondents had good knowledge, 46% had sufficient knowledge, and 4% had poor knowledge. It was concluded that 50% of general dentists in Makassar had good knowledge about the role of general dentists in forensic odontology.

Abstract

Effervescent tablets are a type of pharmaceutical formulation; they are a mixture of acids and bases that release carbon di-oxide and produce foam when dissolved in water. This article discusses the water content of effervescent tablets used as den-ture cleansers made from 6.5% cocoa bean shell extract (Theobroma cacao L.). A true experimental study was conducted using 16 effervescent tablets and a moisture analyser. The comparison test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). This in-dicates that there is a significant difference in the water content of 6.5% CBS effervescent tablets and alkaline peroxide ef-fervescent tablets. It is concluded that there is a significant difference between the water content of CBS effervescent ta-blets and alkaline peroxide effervescent tablets, but both meet the requirements for good water content (≤ 10%).

Abstract

This article evaluates Stichopus hermanni as a scaffold for dental tissue engineering, focusing on biocompatibility, osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and immunomodulation. A systematic literature was conducted through PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, ScienceDi- rect, Google Scholar, and national databases. Studies were selected using the PICOS framework, covering both in vitro and in vivo research. The results showed that S.hermanni-based scaffolds, either alone or in combination with hydroxyapatite or chito-san, exhibited high biocompatibility, non-toxicity, increased osteogenic markers (CD44, IL-10, osteocalcin, bFGF), angiogenesis, and woven bone formation. This scaffold also reduced osteoclast activity through immunomodulatory effects. It was concluded that S.hermanni has strong potential as a biomaterial scaffold in dental tissue engineering, supporting the safe and effective re-generation of hard and soft tissues.

Abstract

Pre-surgical nasoalveolar moulding (PNAM) has been applied to reshape the divided nasal structure, facilitate surgical interven-tion, and reduce the severity and tension of the cleft. This article presents three cases of patients with unilateral cleft lip and pa-late (UCLP) who underwent PNAM prior to surgery, highlighting the diverse cases of cleft and patient characteristics, which aid in the management of nasal clefts and yield more robust evidence-based outcomes. The main challenge in PNAM therapy is en-suring patient and family caregiver compliance with treatment, given that young patients must adapt to the device fitting and activation. Monitoring also requires regular and repeated visits, which can be time-consuming and cause psychological stress due to witnessing the patient's adaptation to the device. It is concluded that PNAM treatment reduces the width of the alveolar cleft. This treatment improves nasal symmetry by altering the columella angle, maintaining alar width, extending the height of the nos-trils on the affected side, and increasing columella length. Cooperation between patients, family caregivers, and the medical team is essential for better outcomes.

Abstract

Intrusion is the most common trauma in children. Management of intruded deciduous teeth includes spontaneous re-eruption or ex-traction. Pain management during extraction is performed with local anaesthesia, but this can cause fear and pain in patients. This case report describes the management of an intruded primary tooth using a computer-controlled local anaesthesia system (CCLAD). A 6-year-old boy presented with an intruded maxillary primary incisor following a fall from stairs the previous day. Clinical findings included swelling and ulceration of the lip and chin, haematoma, and gingival ulceration. Ellis Class IX fractures were no-ted in teeth 51, 61, and 62 with severe intrusion (grade III), slight mobility, and fusion of 61-62. Panoramic imaging revealed age-nesis of teeth 22. After one week of observation for spontaneous re-eruption, extraction of teeth 51, 61, and 62 was performed due to the risk to the permanent replacement teeth. Anaesthesia was administered using the P-ASA (palatal-alveolar superior anterior) technique with SleeperOne5 (CCLAD), improving patient comfort and reducing fear. Monitoring over 12 months showed no com-plications. It was concluded that SleeperOne5 as a CCLAD with the P-ASA anaesthesia approach is a useful alternative for ma-naging multiple impacted anterior deciduous teeth.
