Abstract

Background: Oral cancer is a life-threatening disease that has 377.713 new cases every year and 60% of the 5-year overall survival rate globally. Approximately 84–97% of oral cancer arises from squamous cells, categorized as oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). MiR-21 is a single-stranded, non-coding RNA that has been studied for its role in carcinogenesis. Overexpression of miR-21 is found in various cancers and is linked to a poor prognosis. However, few studies analyze the expression of miR-21 as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in oral cancer. Purpose: This review aimed to describe the expression of miR-21 as a novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in oral cancer. Review: MiR-21 was found to be upregulated in various cancers, including oral cancer. miR-21 targets several tumor suppressors such as PTEM, TPM1, and PDCD4 to modulate characteristics linked to cancer prognosis, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and metastasis. Furthermore, the constant increase of miR-21 expression in healthy oral mucosa to oral potentially malignant disease to OSCC demonstrated its diagnostic value. Conclusion: miRNA-21 may act as a novel diagnostic and prognosticbiomarker of oral cancer.

Abstract

Background: The corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has greatly affected community lives. The self-quarantine has an impact on the occurrence of psychological stress and the tendency to consume snacks.  Dentist practice activities are limited in order to avoid the spread of this virus. As a result, oral and dental health is less controlled, and the habit of consuming cariogenic snacks during the pandemic increases the risk of dental problems. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between snack consumption behavior and tooth decay-related pain complaints in the productive age population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This study design was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The data collection used online questionnaires in the form of Google Forms to obtain the answer to snack consumption behavior. The population of this study was a productive age group population who lived in Surabaya. The total number of respondents in this study was 163 people. Results: The correlation test result showed a significant correlation (p < 0.05) between the snack consumption behavior and tooth decay-related pain, but there was no significant correlation between the snack consumption behavior and the habit of maintaining oral health. Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increase in snack consumption that leads to tooth decay-related pain complaints in the age-productive population in Surabaya.

Abstract

Background: White sponge nevus (WSN) is an autosomal dominant hereditary genetic disorder characterized by thickened keratin in the oral mucosa that appears folded, wavy, spongy, thick, and rough. WSN do not have the potential to become malignant, but an accurate diagnosis is still needed to prevent unnecessary treatment and reduce potential remissions and exacerbations due to infection. Purpose: to provide a detailed description of white sponge nevus as a hereditary disease by means of narrative review. Review: A literature search using ScienceDirect and PubMed yielded results between 2012 and 2024. The keywords of the search strategy were “hereditary disease” and “white sponge nevus” or “Cannon’s disease” or “white folded gingivostomatitis” or “leukokeratosis.”. White sponge nevus (WSN) was first discovered by Hyde in 1909 and usually occurs in children and people under 20 years old. The main etiology of WSN is an autosomal dominant hereditary genetic disorder; KRT4 and KRT13 are specific keratin encoders that cause WSN, and there are predisposing factors such as bacterial infection, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Conclusion: In determining the diagnosis of WSN, it is necessary to carry out blood tests, subjective examinations, objective examinations, and supporting examinations in the form of exfoliative cytology and biopsies. As well as the need for comprehensive treatment, even though the prognosis of this disorder is good.

Abstract

Background: Gingivitis, or inflammation of the gingiva, is characterized by increased leukocyte cells as a sign of an inflammatory response. A mucoadhesive patch made from chitosan combined with rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L) peel extract can reduce inflammation in the gingiva. Chitosan has been proven to inhibit bacterial growth. Meanwhile, rambutan peel extract, as an active ingredient, acts as an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacteria. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the impact of administering rambutan (N. lappaceum L.) peel extract in chitosan mucoadhesive patches made from blood clam shell waste as a treatment for gingivitis on the total leukocyte cell count in white rats. Methods: This research used a true-experimental, post-test-only randomized control group design study, an in vivo study. Wistar rat (Rattus novergicus) gingiva was induced with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) for two  days and then treated with a mucoadhesive patch for six consecutive days. Histological preparations were made with hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining using a light microscope to observe the total number of leukocyte cells in Wistar rat (R. novergicus) gingival tissue. Results: Based on the outcomes of this study, the Kruskal-Wallis statistical test obtained the total number of leukocyte cells, showing a significant decrease (p < 0.05) at the active ingredient concentrations of 10% and 15% rambutan (N. Lappaceum L.) peel extract in chitosan mucoadhesive patches against the positive control group. Conclusion: Rambutan (N. lappaceum L.) peel extract in chitosan mucoadhesive patches was able to reduce total leukocyte cell count in gingivitis of Wistar rats (Rattus novergicus).

Abstract

Background: The formation of biofilm in plaque at the gingival border and the inflammatory reaction to bacteria  create gingivitis, an inflammatory reaction of the gingiva. Due to increases in the hormones progesterone and estrogen, pregnancy is a physiological process that might result in physical or psychological changes. Many oral and dental health issues have an impact on pregnant women’s quality of life. Purpose: The study’s goal was to ascertain how pregnant women’s quality of life was impacted by their awareness and knowledge about pregnancy gingivitis and dental health maintenance. Methods: An analytical observational study was used. Total sampling is the method used for sampling. Utilize a questionnaire to assess understanding, and use the Modified Gingival Index (MGI) to assess the gingivitis score. Multiple linear regression was utilized after the Spearman test in data analysis. Results: The findings indicated a relationship between pregnant women’s quality of life and their level of awareness regarding maintaining oral health and pregnancy gingivitis. Inside has a detrimental coefficient value of -1.202, which means that pregnant women’s knowledge increases with decreasing quality-of-life scores, which reflect a good quality of life. A positive coefficient (2.717) is substantially influenced by gingival state, indicating that a lower level of inflammation corresponds to a higher quality of life. Conclusion: Pregnant women’s quality of life is influenced by their level of awareness and knowledge about pregnancy gingivitis and maintaining their oral health. Pregnant women’s quality of life is directly correlated with their ability to maintain oral health.

Abstract

Background: The emergence of vaping as a popular alternative to traditional smoking has raised concerns regarding its potential impact on oral health. specifically affects the oral health of dental students, who are not only consumers of these products but also future practitioners tasked with educating patients on oral hygiene and health risks. purpose: This study investigated the dental and oral health impact of VAPE among male dental students. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire comprising 20 questions was meticulously designed to gather relevant data about their VAPE use and its implications on dental and oral health. Results: 43% of participants reported using VAPE, predominantly employing salt nicotine (48.8%) over free base nicotine (27.9%). The dental health statuses, assessed using the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, showed that 35.6% had a DMFT score of 3 or higher, while 37.6% had scores below 3, and 26.7% reported a DMFT of 0. Most participants (57.4%) visited the dentist rarely, with no distinction between VAPE users and non-users. However, significant differences in aspects such as breathing, sleep quality, and fitness were noted between VAPE users and non-users (p:0.002, p:0.05, and p:0.00; p<0.05), respectively. Conclusion: As E-cigarettes smoking is becoming more widely growing habit within the young age group, more oral and physiological consequences begin to rise, such as a significantly higher prevalence of mouth dryness, cough and ultimately, worsened bodily functions including a lower breathing quality and reduced level of fitness.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is one of global health issues, with various factors such as Body Mass Index (BMI) and oral hygiene behaviours influencing its prevalence. Understanding the relationship between BMI and dental caries, as well as the oral hygiene practices, is essential for developing effective prevention strategies. Interventions on these factors arevital for mitigating the effects of dental caries on overall health. Purpose: This study aims to examine the correlation between dental caries and BMI in relation to oral and dental health behaviours. Methods: BMI and Decay, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMF-T) data were collected from 5th-grade elementary school students, along with responses to an Oral andDental Health Care Questionnaire. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis Test (p<0.05) and DwassSteel-Critchlow-Fligner (DSCF) (p<0.05). Results: No significant differences in caries indices were observed between genders (p>0.05). The majority of participants were classified as underweight, and this group demonstrated a lower caries index. A comparison of DMF-T scores across various BMI categories revealed a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). Furthermore, the post hoc test indicated a significant difference in BMI between the very low and low groups within the DMFT category (p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings suggest that good oral health practices is affecting the relationship between BMI and dental caries. Thus, the importance of promoting proper oral hygiene and early intervention to prevent dental caries and improve overall health outcomes. Preventive efforts should target at-risk groups, focusing onlifestyle and oral health education.
