Abstract

Background:  Nutritional insufficiency and stunting during infant growth and development also causes a delay in the ossification centers and may lead to poor skeletal and dental forms resulted in malocclusion. Early interceptive orthodontics can eliminate or reduce the severity of a developing malocclusion, the complexity of orthodontic treatment, the overall treatment time, and the cost. Proper oral and dental health knowledge and a favorable attitude toward oral and dental health are critical in preventing numerous dental issues such as malocclusion. Purpose: the aim of this community empowerment is to enhance the knowledge of preventive orthodontic treatment for malocclusion and stunting in elementary school children. Methods:  The data was collected at Miftahul Ulum Melirang's Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, or elementary school, in Melirang Village, Bungah District, Gresik, East Java. For the community empowerment program assessment, participants were requested to fill out a Google form for the pre- and post-test to identify the enhancement of knowledge about or preventative orthodontic treatment for malocclusion and stunting in primary school children. Results: The majority of the community empowerment participants understood the presentation on oral and dental health empowerment. The post-test percentage was greater (91.5%) than the pre-test rate (53.75%). Conclusion:  The dental and oral health empowerment program about preventive orthodontics, malocclusion, and stunting was effectively completed, enhancing the knowledge level of elementary school children.

Abstract

Background: The parallel technique stands as a prominent method for radiographic examinations aiming to identify furcation involvement. Nevertheless, an inherent limitation lies in the frequent superimposition of the trifurcation region with tooth roots, potentially leading to inaccurate diagnoses. The Same Lingual Opposite Buccal (SLOB) technique was devised to yield radiographic images that alleviate superimposition at the trifurcation of the maxillary first molar. Purpose: to observe and compare the radiographic images of the trifurcation region of the maxillary first molar generated through the SLOB technique with the film holder modification set at a mesial and distal angulation of 20Ëš with the parallel technique. Methods: This observational analytic research encompassed a sample size of 24 instances. Each individual sample underwent three separate exposures: the SLOB technique with a horizontal angulation of 20Ëš towards both mesial and distal directions, and the parallel technique (serving as the control). Results: a significant difference in radiographic images of the trifurcation region of the maxillary first molar obtained through the SLOB technique, employing the film holder modification with a mesial angulation of 20Ëš and a distal angulation of 20Ëš, as opposed to the parallel technique (control). Conclusion: A radiographic image capturing the trifurcation of the maxillary first molar, devoid of superimposition, was successfully generated through the SLOB technique incorporating a horizontal angulation of 20Ëš towards the distal direction.

Abstract

Background: Brackets in fixed orthodontic appliances are mostly made from metal or stainless steel. Maintaining oral hygiene by brushing the teeth with toothpaste during orthodontic treatment is important. One of the ingredients in toothpaste, sodium fluoride, can cause degradation of the stainless-steel surface, which has the potential to corrode or release metal elements. Purpose: the purpose of this study is to describe the Nickel and chromium ion release of stainless-steel brackets against toothpaste use in orthodontic treatment by means of narrative review. Review: The main corrosion products of stainless-steel brackets are nickel and chromium. Toothpaste detergents contain sodium lauryl sulfate, which can cause the release of nickel ions due to the presence of sodium ions, which can trigger redox reactions. In addition, the fluoride content will combine with hydrogen to produce hydrofluoric acid, which can damage the oxide layer on orthodontic wires, resulting in the release of metal ions such as nickel and chromium. The effects of the release of these ions can be carcinogenic, cause hypersensitivity reactions, and cause cytotoxicity. Corrosion causes the dissolution of filler metal, resulting in weakened bracket material and increased friction, leading to delayed tooth movement. Conclusion: Toothpaste can affect the release of nickel and chromium ions in stainless steel brackets in the presence of sodium and fluoride.

Abstract

Background: Caries is a multifactorial disease that often occurs in the oral cavity and can be caused by Streptococcus mutans. Various ways have been done to reduce the number of Streptococcus mutans, one of them is by exposing them to a material agent such as silver-ion water. Silver-ion water has been recognized as an effective material for inhibiting several pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Thus, there is a possibility that silver-ion water can be used to reduce the number of bacteria that cause dental caries, such as Streptococcus mutans. Purpose: To determine the effect of silver ion water on the growth of Streptococcus mutans. Methods: This research is an experimental laboratory study (in vitro) with a control group post-test-only design. Streptococcus mutans were exposed to 0-15 ppm silver-ion water on Brain Heart Infusion Broth (BHIB) media, then Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were observed. Results: Silver-ion water with a concentration of 12.5 ppm was determined as MIC, and silver-ion water with a concentration of 15 ppm as MBC. Conclusion: Silver ion water is adequate as an antibacterial material in inhibiting (12.5 ppm) and killing (15 ppm) Streptococcus mutans.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is frequently observed in children. Increasing the awareness of oral health among school-age children is anticipated to decrease the occurrence of dental caries. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of dental caries among students in Medowo III elementary school using dmft/DMFT index. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among the entire student at Medowo III elementary school. The dental caries of each student were assessed using the dmft and DMFT indices. The assessment of variable distribution was conducted using the Shapiro-Wilk test. The dmft/DMFT values were compared between different age groups and genders using either the Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney test. The data was processed using a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The study included a total of 43 students. The average caries index in primary dentitions was markedly greater than in permanent dentitions. According to WHO, the prevalence of dental caries was very high in the primary dentition of students aged 7-9 years. No notable disparities were detected between female and male students in relation to the caries index of both primary and permanent teeth. However, the average caries index of primary teeth was considerably higher in middle-childhood students compared to preadolescence students. Conclusion: The dental caries prevalence among students in Medowo III elementary school were still high. Therefore, oral health prevention program was needed in order to enhance the community's awareness toward dental caries.

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy involves conception, fetal development, and labor. The health of pregnant women needs to pay attention to aspects of oral health because it affects fetal development. The prevalence of periodontal disease in pregnant women reached 35%-100%. Lawrence Green categorizes behavioral influence factors into two, namely behavior and non-behavior, with three main factors: predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling. Purpose: To determine the relationship between the behavior of pregnant women in increasing knowledge about oral health during pregnancy. Methods: This study used qualitative research methods, and information retrieval using in-depth interviews with research samples, who were pregnant women at Pakis public health service area on September 14-30, 2020. Results: There are main findings found such as, there are still pregnant women who do not know how to maintain oral health during pregnancy, pregnant women still do not try to find out information related to oral health during pregnancy, and it was also found that the information provided at services related to oral health during pregnancy was felt to be lacking by some informants. Conclusion: In terms of knowledge and attitudes (predisposing factors), as well as access to services (enabling factors), informants did not experience any obstacles. In terms of support (reinforcing factors), most informants highlighted the importance of support from husbands, family, relatives, and friends for the oral health of pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: An elderly person is someone who is more than 60 years old. In Indonesia, there is an increase in the elderly population, increasing the prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is an abnormal increase in blood glucose. In Indonesia, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in 2018 was 2%. Diabetes mellitus causes various complications in the body, one of which is the oral cavity, which can affect quality of life. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between oral health care behavior and the quality of life of elderly patients with diabetes mellitus in the Menur Surabaya Community Health Center. Methods: The study was conducted with analytic observation and a cross-sectional approach on 80 elderly people with diabetes mellitus in the Menur Community Health Center. The data were obtained using a questionnaire. The data were tested for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov method, and then correlation was tested using Spearman rank correlation. Results: There is a significant relationship between perceived barriers, self-efficacy, and cues to action towards oral health behavior. However, there is no significant relationship between perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and quality of life towards oral health behavior. Conclusion: Quality of life hinges on oral health behavior, yet correlation tests reveal no significant link between oral health care and quality of life for diabetes patients, who prioritize other health facets. Age also impacts, with elders prioritizing aesthetics less than youth.
