Abstract

Postnatal care is very crucial in the postnatal period because it is a critical period for babies. This study aimsto analyze the factors related to postnatal care utilization (1st neonatal visits) in Indonesia. The ecologicalanalysis was conducted using secondary data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesiareport in 2018. All provinces were taken as samples. Apart from postnatal care utilization, 5 other variablesanalyzed as independent variables were the ANC 1st visit, ANC 4th visits, poverty depth index, percentageof health centers with sufficient midwives, and the ratio of gynecologist per 100,000 population. The resultsshow there was a tendency for a positive relationship between ANC 1st visit and 1st neonatal visit. The higherthe ANC 1st visit coverage, the higher the 1st neonatal visit coverage (p = 0.034). Meanwhile, there was alsoa trend towards a positive relationship between the ANC 1st visit and the 1st neonatal visit. The higher thecoverage of the ANC 4th visit, the higher the coverage of the 1st neonatal visit (p = 0.040). Moreover, povertydepth index, percentage of health centers with sufficient midwives, and the ratio of gynecologist per 100,000population were found to have no significant correlation with 1st neonatal visits. It could be concluded thatfrom the 5 independent variables analyzed, 2 variables were proven to be ecologically positively related topostnatal care utilization (1st neonatal visit), namely ANC 1st visit and ANC 4th visit.

Abstract

Background: There is a relation between the orthodontic therapy and the periodontal tissue. In the movingteeth and planning treatment, the periodontal tissue is very influential in an orthodontic therapy. During themovement of the teeth, all components of the periodontal tissue such as the bones, periodontal ligaments,and gingiva will change and move together. Some studies indicate a decrease in alveolar bone fraction andalveolar bone density. The changes in density are seen by comparing the new bone mineralization withthe old bones. Purpose: This research aims to analyze the differences in alveolar bone density after anorthodontic treatment in patients of RSGM Universitas Airlangga. Methods: This study used a patient’spanoramic radiograph at the time before the orthodontic treatment and the time after it. Photographs ofpanoramic radiographs were measured using a digital densitometer. Results: The results of the studyrevealed a decrease in alveolar bone density after orthodontic treatment, both anterior and posterior. Theaverage decrease in the anterior was 35.4%, while in the posterior was a decrease of 31.5%. Conclusion:There was a decrease in the alveolar bone density after orthodontic treatment in the anterior and posteriorsections.

Abstract

The performance of a complete denture is often a reflection of its support and retention of the underlyinghard and soft tissues. If the superficial aspect of alveolar ridge is compressible more than 2mm, this willresult in a mobile soft tissue (flabby tissues). This occurs when hyperplastic soft tissue replaces the alveolarbone. During conventional impression procedures, the flabby tissues are compressed and will later tendto recoil and dislodge the resulting overlying denture. This article aims to presents a case report for theprosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient with a flabby tissue with a modified window impression technique.

Abstract

Background: Tools for establishing identity is invaluable part of forensic sciences form the beginningof the profession. Odontology is one of such branches which in early days started in its crude form withidentification of different species and races within the species, currently is an individual subject withspecialist societies, journals and courses. Palatal rugae, was identified to be a potential tool for establishingidentity few centuries back itself but is not validated even today to be part of standard protocols. This is apilot study comparing two racial groups i.e., Indian and Malaysian with established parameters for palaterugae aiming at testing the feasibility of the parameters to be used in identification of individuals and racialgroups and also to provide preliminary data to make way to larger studies.Aims and Objectives: The aim of this pilot study is to explore the feasibility of palate prints as tool foridentification by, studying palate print in Indian and Malaysians and Comparison of plate Rugosity betweenIndians and Malaysians students for identification.Methodology: Study population was male Indian and Malaysian Medical and Dental students, age between18-25 years studying at Mangalore, India. Sample size 80 (40 in each group); were selected for studying ofPalatal Rugae. The palate impressions were collected using maxillary alginate cast. The parameters assessedwere: Total number of rugae, number of primary rugae (length- 5 to 10 mm), secondary rugae (3-5mm),fragmentary rugae (less than 3 mm). Comparison for two populations was done using non-parametric MannWhitney Test.Results: There were no statistically significant differences among the Indians and Malaysians in totalnumber and number secondary rugae in both sides more in Indians than Malaysians.There was statistically significant difference in number of the primary rugae and the fragmentary rugae,which in both sides were more in Indians than Malaysians.Conclusion: In conclusion, palatal rugae pattern are unique to an individual and their use in forensicidentification has been advocated and applied. Our study demonstrated significant difference in the numberof primary rugae on each side. It was more in Indians than Malaysians. This study demonstrated theuniqueness of rugae pattern in different individuals. Thus, it appears to be an effective & reliable source ofidentification.

Abstract

Background: One of the integral parts of forensic medicine is identification of individuals from biologicalsamples and from the anatomical signatures. Identification of individuals, races, species, gender from theanatomical signatures of teeth and oral cavity is one of such branches which existed in practice in crudeform even before origin of the Forensic odontology as a specialization. Individual variations in Palatal rugaepattern, and its biometric value as a potential tool for establishment of identity was reported centuries back. It’snot standardised or included in the regular standard protocols even today in the age of artificial intelligence.In this pilot study we are comparing two racial groups i.e., Indian and Malaysian with established parametersfor palate rugae with an objective of testing feasibility and validation for identification of individuals andracial groups and also to provide preliminary data for larger studies.Aims and Objectives: The aim of this pilot study is to explore the feasibility of palate rougoscopy as a toolfor race identification by studying the shape and unification Pattern of Palatal Rugae in Indian and Malaysianpopulation.Methodology: Study population was male Indian and Malaysian Medical and Dental students, aged 18-25years studying at Mangalore, India. Sample size 80 (40 in each group); were selected for studying PalatalRugae. The palate impressions were collected using maxillary alginate cast. The parameters assessed were:shape an unification based on classification of Thomas & Kotze. Comparison for two populations was doneusing non-parametric Mann-Whitney Test.Results : Predominant Shape: The Curvy patterns were more common in Malaysians compared to Indian.The Wavy patterns were more common in Malaysians than Indians.The Circular patterns were more commonin Indians than Malaysians.Predominant unification: Diverging patterns were more in Malaysians than Indians and Converging patternswere more in Indians than Malaysians and statistically significant.Conclusion : In the present study the Malaysians had predominantly curvy and wavy patterns and Indianshad circular shapes. Straight patterns were seen equally in both the populations. Although unification ofthe palate rugae was seen, the diverging patterns is more in Malaysians and Converging patterns more inIndians.

Abstract

Leprosy is a chronic infection which is caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Leprosy has long been considereda complex disease, in which host and environmental characteristics are as important as the pathogen todetermine disease outcome. Leprosy is an excellent model for examining the immunoregulatory functions.Children are believed to be the most vulnerable group to leprosy infection due to their immature immunity.This review is aimed to summarize the findings of previous studies about immune dysregulation in childhoodleprosy. This study highlighted the plausible maternal-fetal connection which are related in immunedysregulation in childhood leprosy.
