Abstract

Background: Intrusive luxation is one of the most severe types of dental trauma, especially in children with immature permanent teeth. Immediate and appropriate management is crucial to preserve pulp vitality and ensure proper root development. Purpose: This case report aims to present the management of an intruded immature permanent maxillary incisor in a pediatric patient through surgical repositioning and flexible splinting. Case: An 8-year-old boy presented three days after a football-related fall with a 6 mm intrusion of the permanent maxillary right central incisor. The tooth showed no mobility, and no root fracture was detected radiographically, although the periodontal space was reduced. Case Management: Due to the severity of the intrusion, immediate surgical repositioning under local anesthesia was performed. The tooth was carefully luxated and repositioned, followed by splinting using brackets and ligature wire from tooth #54 to #63 for three weeks. Antibiotics, analgesics, and antiseptic mouth rinse were prescribed. The tooth was kept out of occlusion, and pulp testing at three weeks indicated vitality. The splint was removed without complications, and a five-month follow-up confirmed stable teeth, an asymptomatic condition, and ongoing root and periodontal healing. Conclusion: Early surgical repositioning combined with flexible splinting can yield favorable outcomes in managing intrusive luxation in immature permanent teeth. Timely intervention and continuous follow-up are essential to preserve pulp vitality, support root development, and prevent complications such as resorption and ankylosis.

Abstract

Background: Natural biomaterials are increasingly explored in dentistry due to concerns regarding cytotoxicity and adverse effects of synthetic agents. Butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea) has demonstrated antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, suggesting potential application in oral health care. Purpose: This review aims to evaluate current evidence regarding the biocompatibility of C. ternatea as an oral health care biomaterial. Review: A literature search was conducted using Scopus-indexed databases for studies published from 2020 onwards. Ten studies were included. The reviewed literature consistently demonstrated significant antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of C. ternatea against major oral pathogens. Concentration-dependent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects were also reported. However, none of the included studies directly evaluated cytotoxicity or cell compatibility with oral cells such as gingival fibroblasts, oral epithelial cells, or dental pulp cells. Conclusion: C. ternatea shows promising biological activity for oral health applications; however, current evidence is insufficient to establish its biocompatibility as an oral biomaterial. Further studies assessing cytotoxicity and cellular responses of oral tissues are essential before clinical translation.

Abstract

Background: Scurvy is a disease caused by chronic vitamin C deficiency. It presents with non-specific early signs that can mimic other conditions, such as fatigue, mild fever, and is often followed by dermatologic and musculoskeletal symptoms, anemia, and gingival bleeding. Although rare in the pediatric population, recent studies have reported scurvy can occur in children at risk, including those with neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and even healthy children with restricted or selective feeding. Purpose: This paper aims to report the dental management of scurvy in a pediatric patient with ASD. Case Management: A six-year-old male with ASD was referred to RSGM Universitas Airlangga due to persistent gingival swelling and bleeding for a week, along with pain in the lower limb and difficulty walking. The child’s diet lacked fruits and vegetables. Clinical and laboratory examinations revealed no signs of malignancy or bleeding disorder, though anemia was present. Empirical vitamin C supplementation was given, and oral debridement was performed. Improvements were observed within a week. Conclusion: Identifying scurvy can be challenging due to its nonspecific signs; however thorough history taking, mainly diet history, should be done along with clinical and supporting examinations, hence identification of scurvy can be done as early as possible, and timely treatment can be provided effectively and safely.

Abstract

Background: Bite mark analysis is an important part of medicolegal investigations, providing objective documentation and interpretation of patterned injuries that may represent human bite marks. Conventional analysis commonly uses wax sheets, while intraoral scanners represent a more modern approach. However, it remains unclear which method yields more reliable results, and few studies have compared the interpretations from these techniques. Purpose: To determine the level of matching bite mark interpretation produced through wax sheet and intraoral scanner. Method: A descriptive observational design was conducted using 57 maxillary study models that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Each model was impressed into a wax sheet to record the incisal pattern and scanned with an intraoral scanner to obtain a digital record. The two outcomes were then superimposed and scored according to correspondence: Score 0 = no match with the suspect’s tooth pattern; Score 1 = 1–2 matching incisal patterns; Score 2 = 3–4 matching incisal patterns; Score 3 = 5–6 matching incisal patterns. Results: The research results showed a score of 0 at 0%, a score of 1 at 3.5%, a score of 2 at 8.5%, and a score of 3 at 87.5%. Conclusion: This study obtained 0% with a score of 0, 3.5% with a score of 1, 8.5% with a score of 2, and 87.5% with a score of 3, indicating that the bite marks obtained from wax sheets and intraoral scanning demonstrated a high degree of similarity, and yielded comparable results

Abstract

Background: Denture stomatitis is experienced by 65% of denture wearers and is generally caused by Candida albicans colonization on the porous surface of acrylic resin. The use of chemical denture cleansers can increase surface roughness and discoloration of the resin, so a natural alternative is needed. Purple leaf extract (Graptophyllum pictum) contains flavonoids that have the potential to be used as a natural denture cleanser with antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the antifungal potential of purple leaf extract (G. pictum) in the form of denture cleaning soap that effectively inhibits the growth of C. albicans, the cause of denture stomatitis. Methods: This true experimental study used a post-test-only control group design with three groups: K(-) aquades, K(+) baby soap, and P (50% G. pictum extract soap), each consisting of 9 samples. Acrylic resin plates were brushed for 5 seconds per side, rinsed with PBS, incubated on SDA at 37°C for 24 hours, and the number of C. albicans colonies was counted. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney tests (p<0.05). Results: Mean C. albicans growth was 90.55 ± 8,54 (K-), 10.55 ± 1.58 (K+), and 20.22 ± 4.05 (P). Significant differences were found among all groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Denture cleanser containing G. pictum extract reduced C. albicans growth significantly, the extract shows potential as a natural antifungal ingredient for denture cleansers.

Abstract

Background: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is a congenital craniofacial anomaly that results in a complex set of functional and aesthetic challenges. Patients with CLP often present with skeletal discrepancies, dental malocclusion, and crossbite due to maxillary deficiency. Successful management requires a coordinated multidisciplinary approach involving surgical, orthodontic, and restorative interventions. Purpose: The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate the challenges of complex CLP-related malocclusion and the benefits of coordinated care among specialists to achieve optimal outcomes. Case(s): This case report presents a 14-year-old patient with a repaired unilateral CLP, exhibiting both anterior and posterior crossbite and maxillary constriction. Clinical and radiographic evaluation revealed maxillary retrusion, asymmetrical dental arch form, and compromised occlusion. The treatment plan involved an interdisciplinary team approach. Case Management: The orthodontic treatment was carried out in four phases, beginning with alignment and leveling using self-ligating braces and posterior bite raising, followed by space creation with open coil springs and correction of anterior crossbite using Class III elastics. Final detailing and retention ensured optimal occlusion, improved aesthetics, and long-term stability. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of a structured multidisciplinary approach in managing CLP patients with complex malocclusion. An integrated approach with orthodontic and other specialists is crucial to achieving functional occlusion, facial harmony, and long-term stability.

Abstract

Background: A gram-positive bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, is known for causing infections in areas like the skin, lungs, and mouth, and has spurred interest in natural remedies due to growing antibiotic resistance. This has led researchers to explore alternatives from sources such as Robusta coffee beans (Coffea canephora var. robusta), which contain potent bioactive substances. Purpose: The review aims to elaborate on the effectiveness of Robusta coffee beans in combating pathogens like S. aureus and to pinpoint the key ingredients contributing to their antibacterial activity. Reviews: Research indicates that Robusta coffee beans are rich in active elements (caffeine, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and trigonelline), all of which demonstrate antimicrobial and antivirulence capabilities. These compounds work by compromising the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane, blocking protein production, and weakening the cell wall, ultimately resulting in cell breakdown. Chlorogenic acid, the most abundant of these, shows both inhibitory and lethal effects on bacteria. S. aureus is notorious for building tolerance to multiple antibiotics, complicating treatment. This challenge stems from its harmful traits, notably Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL), which boosts its danger by destroying leukocytes and triggering tissue necrosis. Conclusion: Robusta coffee beans (C. canephora var. robusta) have great potential antibacterial activity attributed to their bioactive compounds, which inhibit pathogens such as S. aureus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Salmonella typhi. These findings suggest that robusta coffee beans may serve as a viable source for developing alternative natural antibacterial formulations, particularly against S. aureus associated infections.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is a chronic infectious disease caused by bacterial activity that demineralizes tooth enamel and dentin. According to the 2018 Indonesian Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), 67.3% of school-aged children experience oral health problems, with dental caries being the most prevalent (88.8%). Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and practice towards snacking behavior with dental caries status among children aged 8–11 years at Ketabang 1 Public Elementary School, Surabaya, in 2025. Methods: This observational analytic study used a cross-sectional design involving 85 students selected through cluster random sampling. Data on knowledge, attitude, and snacking behavior were collected using a structured questionnaire, while dental caries status was clinically examined using the DMFT and PUFA indices. Statistical analyses included the Chi-square test, Independent T-test, and Mann–Whitney test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The mean DMFT scores ranged from 2.53 ± 1.37 to 4.65 ± 2.12, and the mean PUFA ranged from 0.20 ± 0.37 to 0.58 ± 0.67, indicating moderate to high caries prevalence. Chi-square analysis showed a significant relationship between knowledge (p = 0.000) and practice (p = 0.003) with dental caries status, while attitude showed no significant correlation (p = 0.943. Conclusion: Knowledge and snacking behavior are significantly associated with dental caries status among school-aged children, whereas attitude shows no significant relationship. Strengthening oral health education and promoting healthy snacking habits are crucial to reducing caries incidence in elementary school children.

Abstract

Background: Age estimation plays an important role in both dentistry and forensics. Today, the London Atlas method is widely used by the students or researchers, but biological growth (head dimensions and body height) may also provide a guide about the developmental stage of humans. Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between head size with body height to match with dental age to determine the biological dan chronological age. Methods: Using cross sectional study to 51 samples with age from 4 until 20 years. Head length, head width, body height, and dental panoramic photo were recorded for each sample. Statistical analysis using Spearman correlation tests and linear regression to compare with many variables. Results: Positive correlation between body height and dental age (r = 0.892; p < 0.001). Head length (r = 0.475; p < 0.001) and head width (r = 0.477; p < 0.001) show moderate correlations with dental age. Next, the ratio of head length to body height shows a significant correlation with chronological age (p < 0.001; R² = 0.614), but the cephalic index shows no significant correlation with either dental age or chronological age. Conclusion: Head length and body height are significantly correlated with dental age (London Atlas method), so that it can be useful for age estimation. .
