Abstract

Background: Morphometric analysis of teeth on radiographs for age estimation are considered to be simple, reliable and non-invasive. The aim of this study was to analyse the efficacy of tooth coronal index (TCI) to estimate age in Indian population and to assess the influence of diet and masticatory habit on TCI. The study comprised of 160 subjects in the age range of 21-71 years, categorized into groups based on chronological age, gender, diet and masticatory habit. Coronal Height (CH) and Coronal Pulp Cavity Height (CPCH) of permanent mandibular first molars was measured on digital panoramic radiographs using Planmeca Romexis software measurement tools. TCI was calculated using the formula: TCI= (CPCH ×100)/CH. Statistical analysis was performed, ANOVA and Pearson correlation was applied along with regression analysis to obtain an estimated age using TCI. Results: A negative correlation was obtained between the chronological age and TCI. Three-way ANOVA exhibited a significant difference in TCI within the age groups and dietary groups (p value = <0.05). There was no significant difference within the sexes, sides and masticatory groups. The most precise estimated age using the regression formula was in individuals between 31 – 40 years with an error of +/- 5 years in 55% of females, 65% of males. Conclusions: This study suggests that although TCI is a good predictor of age, it is most suitable to determine age of individuals between 31-40 years with the least error in estimation. This study also throws a light on the influence of diet on TCI.

Abstract

Introduction: The number of vehicles in Indonesia has increased every year. The number of two-wheeled vehicles in 2016 was 105.150.082 units and increased to 111.988.863 in 2017 and 120.101.047 in 2018. Unfortunately, along with the increase in motorized vehicle users, the rate of traffic accidents that occurred also increased. One of the causes of the high number of traffic accidents in Indonesia is a large number of jobs in the transportation sector, such as online motorcycle taxis. This study aims to identify the factors that cause traffic accidents, including those caused by fatigue, negligence, knowledge of safety riding, and length of work for online motorcycle taxi drivers. Methods: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of 110 online motorcycle taxi riders who are members of the Sidoarjo-Porong Online Driver Association Basecamp. Sampling was done by using the total sampling technique. The variables studied included subjective fatigue, negligence, knowledge of safety riding, length of work, and two-wheeled online motorcycle taxi traffic accidents. Data analysis was performed using Cramer’s V Correlation Coefficient or Phi Correlation Coefficient. Results: The results showed a significant correlation between subjective fatigue and the incidence of accidents as indicated by a value of r = 0.289. Furthermore, it was found that a weak correlation between negligence and the incidence of accidents with a value of r = 0.211. No correlation was found between knowledge of safe riding and the incidence of accidents marked with a value of r = -0.169. Meanwhile, there is only a weak correlation between the length of work and the incidence of accidents with a value of r = 0.214. Conclusion: Subjective fatigue, neglect, length of work has a correlation with two-wheeled online motorcycle taxi traffic accidents. There is no correlation between knowledge of safety riding with two-wheeled online motorcycle taxi traffic accidents.

Abstract

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common malignancies of the oral cavity. One of the foremost cells recruited near the tumor front is the mast cells. Mast cells produce angiogenic mediators such as fibroblast growth factor (FGF), transforming growth factor (TGF), tumor necrosis factor, (TNF), and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) 1. which are increased in precancerous lesions and found in more abundance in OSCC.Accumulation of mast cells around the tumor margins and their release of potent pro-angiogenic and angiogenic factors may represent a tumor-host interaction which probably favors tumor progression. The progression of oral lesions from dysplasia to oral squamous cell carcinoma is characterized by an “angiogenic switch” that is associated with an increase in the neovascularization of the subepithelial lamina propria, which may be considered an indicator of malignant transformation. 2MCs also represent a rich source of proteases, especially ofmast cell tryptase and chymase, which directly degrade the extracellularmatrix through their proteolytic activity and thus indirectly stimulate angiogenesis and facilitate invasion and metastasis. Theliterature has proven that mast cells can be an indicator of increased angiogenesis and hence can help in the prediction of carcinogenesis, its progression, and also the prognosis of the malignant lesions.Aim of the Study: To compare the number, morphology, and distribution of mast cells in different grades of oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and to study their role in tumor growth and pathogenesisMaterials and Methods: A total of 39 cases, which included 13 cases of dysplasia and 26 of OSCC were included in the study. Tissue sections were stained with H&E and 1% toluidine blue was used to evaluate mast cells. Mast cells were counted manually using an ocular grid throughout the tissue sections in 10 representative grid fields in a stepladder fashion. (40x magnification).The mean mast cell density (MCD) of 10 fields was calculated and was expressed as mean (standard deviation) per mm3,4. Mast cells were then categorized as typical, atypical, or granular mast cells and statistically analyzed.5Result: In the present study, there is a decrease in the number of mast cells with severe grades of dysplasia and poorer grades of oral squamous cell carcinoma. ConclusionMast cells may induce the tumor progression by providing a mitogenic stimulation or angiogenesis-the hallmark of the tumor growth and metastasis through the release of various mediators.

Abstract

Preschool children do not yet have independence in maintaining oral hygiene, especially brushing teeth. Bad oral hygiene causes plaque accumulation, where brushing teeth is a simple act of removing plaque and food debris with a toothbrush and toothpaste, because plaque and food debris are the main causes of dental caries. Purpose: This study was to determine the relationship between independence of brushing teeth to free plaque score in preschool children. Method: This type of analytic observational study with cross sectional design. The research was conducted on the students of Bintang Kindergarten in Pondok Labu Village, Cilandak District, South Jakarta. Data collection using the observation sheet brushing teeth and index free plaqu score.Data analysis using Chi-Square. Result: Less of independence in brushing teeth as many as 28 respondents (87.5%) and as many as 4 respondents (12.5%) independently brushed their teeth while the free plaque score with good criteria was 3 respondents (9.4%) and 29 respondents (90.6%) with bad criteria. Independence of brushing teeth on the free plaque score showed that the p-value was 0.001 (p <0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between independence of brushing teeth on free plaque score in preschool children.
