Abstract

Background: Forensic age estimation defines an expertise in forensic medicine, which aimsto define in the most accurate way to determine the unknown chronological age of the personinvolved in judicial or legal proceedings. Dental cementum is a vital tissue which demonstratescontinuous apposition throughout the life of the tooth. Literature studies have revealed that toothcemental annulations(TCA) would serve as a reliable tool in establishing the age of an individual.The use of specialized microscopic methods are been employed to enhance the assessment ofthe cemental annulations. The study aims at assessment and evaluation of cemental annulationsin normal and periodontally diseased extracted teeth using phase contrast microscopic method.Methodology: A total of 60 teeth were included in the study and out of which thirty teeth were normaland 30 were periodontally involved teeth respectively. Longitudinal ground sections were prepared usingmicromotor and diamond disc. Sections were mounted and observed under phase contrast microscope.Measurements were made using an image analyzer software. The total width of cementum was dividedby the distance between two incremental lines. The eruption age of the tooth was then added to this toobtain the chronologic age for each individual. The results of the study showed no significant deviationof estimated age from the actual age in both periodontally sound and periodontally diseased teeth.Conclusion: The study concludes that the use of phase-contrast microscopy in conjunction with imageenhancement procedures improves the accuracy of age estimation and may serve as a reliable aid inforensic identification.

Abstract

Background. Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory infection that causes damage to thetissue supporting the teeth. The most common periodontal diseases are gingivitis and periodontitis.Periodontitis is a complex, localized chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction ofconnective tissue, periodontal ligaments, and bone supporting teeth. This periodontal disease is causedby plaque bacteria on the surface of the teeth, where the plaque is a thin layer of biofilm containinga collection of pathogenic microorganisms such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, Actinobacillusactinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia, Tannerella forsythia and Fusobacterium nucleatumwhich are soft deposits. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a gram-negative, black pigmented, rod-shapedanaerobic bacteria. Porphyromonas gingivalis is one of the dominant bacteria in chronic periodontitiswhich is found in subgingival plaques. Indonesia is a country with a tropical climate which makesit rich in biodiversity, which can be used as antibacterial agents. Plantain (Musa Paradisiaca L) isa fruit that is easy to get, but the skin is rarely used. The Pisang Raja peel (Musa Paradisaca L)contains chemical compounds saponins, tannins, flavonoids, and alkaloids which have antimicrobialproperties. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of Pisang Raja peel (Musa Paradisiaca L) extractagainst the inhibition of Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria as a cause of periodontitis. Methods: Usinglaboratory experimental methods, the test was carried out in the laboratory with the form of researchin the form of Posttest Only Control Design and sampling by random sampling through 4 treatmentsand 6 repetitions.
