Abstract

Tetanus was a life-threatening infection causing muscle contractions. The need for qualified collaborative management was crucial due to the potential for poor prognosis and complications. Dentists can contribute significantly to the treatment, as the mouth can be one of the entry points for tetanus-causing bacteria. A 45-year-old male tetanus inpatient was referred from the Intensive Care Unit to the Oral Medicine Unit at Universitas Indonesia Hospital to evaluate the possible source of oral focus infection. A boil was on his back, suspected to be the main port of entry for tetanus bacteria. The definitive diagnosis was Tetanus of moderate to severe severity (Philips score 24, Dakar score 1, Ablett score 2). Extra oral examination shows lip inflammation. An intra-oral examination cannot be done optimally despite his trismus. The oral foci of infection found were chronic gingivitis and pulp necrosis on 47 48, in addition to the diagnosis of cheilitis simplex. Since the comprehensive management of the foci of infection could only be done in an outpatient setting, the nurse was instructed to clean the intra-oral using sterile gauze moistened with NaCl 0.9% solution to improve the patient's oral hygiene (OH). Comprehensive management includes periodically visiting to maintain OH, administering muscle relaxants, antibiotics, and analgesics, and administering Tetanus toxoid vaccination. The patient was recovered. Management of tetanus cases needs a multidisciplinary approach. Dentists are pivotal in identifying oral infection sources and ensuring its management. A dentist's role in the collaborative management of tetanus patients might significantly contribute to the patient's prognosis. DOI : 10.54052/jhds.v3n3.p303-316

Abstract

Drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a hurdle in controlling pulmonary tuberculosis. The mucocutaneous tissues, including the oral mucosa, can be impacted by DR-TB medication, although infrequent. Highlighting Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) as a rare oral finding of drug side effects in DR-TB patients. Two male patients in DR-TB Clinic RSUD Tangerang City were referred to the Oral Medicine Clinic for complaints in the oral cavity. Treatment for DR-TB was given to the patient in months 8 and 11. The microscopic examination and sputum culture were negative when consulted. The patient denied any oral cavity complaints before being diagnosed with DR-TB. The intraoral clinical examination showed erosive lesions with a white keratinized plaque on the lips, buccal mucosa, labial mucosa, and tongue consistent with OLP. Pharmacological management involved using corticosteroids for mouthwash and lip ointment with responsive results. Scheduled oral hygiene was also planned to eliminate focus infection in the oral cavity. OLP is a chronic inflammation of the oral mucosa mediated by immunological mechanisms and triggered by various agents. Drugs are one of the known triggers of OLP lesions. The findings of side effects in the oral mucosa tissue are believed to be a result of the DR-TB regimen of these two patients. Long-term drug use triggers the development of OLP in patients with DR-TB. OLP is an oral mucosa finding of drug side effects that is rarely reported in DR-TB patients.

Abstract

Different levels of active ingredients in disinfectants can be classified into three levels of disinfectants. Low-level and low-to-intermediate level disinfectants are commonly used in clinical contact surfaces, while high-level disinfectants are used on submerged inanimate objects that are heat sensitive. This study aimed to compare the disinfection efficacy of different disinfectants used in USIM Dental Polyclinic on rough and smooth surfaces against Staphylococcus aureusisolated from USIM Dental Polyclinic. 19 operators were enrolled to get 19 environmentalsamples from the glove-dominant hand after non-surgical extraction in the Oral Surgery Clinic. Staphylococcus aureus wasidentified, and an antibiotic susceptibility test was done to determine the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) strain. Two different levels of disinfectants for the disinfection of dental chairs were tested on rough and smooth surfaces that were contaminated experimentally by Staphylococcus aureus. The number of colonies without and after disinfection was counted, and the reduction percentagewas calculated and analyzed.Staphylococcus aureuswas detected in 68.42% (n=13) of the samples. 5.26% (n=1) of the samples were Staphylococcus sp. 26.32% (n=5) had no bacterial growth. No methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureusstrain was identified. There was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between the efficacy of the three disinfectants from two different levels used in USIM Dental Polyclinic on rough and smooth surfaces against Staphylococcus aureus. Theefficacy of different levels of disinfectants used in USIM Dental Polyclinic was comparable to each other on rough and smooth surfaces against Staphylococcus aureus DOI : 10.54052/jhds.v3n3.p333-344

Abstract

Dento-facial aesthetics is an essential aspect of contemporary orthodontics, reflected by increasing demands for many aspects of patient's aesthetic improvement. Facial vertical height determines an individual's aesthetics and is vital to establishing facial harmonies. One of the facial vertical problems is related to anterior facial height. Vertical facial height is strongly influenced by the vertical position of the maxilla and mandible, so that it can be affected by the relation between the skeletal jaw. This study aims to determine the difference between the anterior facial height and the skeletal jaw relation. Based on different skeletal classifications by Steiner skeletal analysis, measurements on lateral cephalometric radiographs by comparing and connecting the anterior facial height. This research used an analytic-cross-sectional study with total sampling from 2019-2021. Fifty lateral cephalometrics between 18 and 41 years of age patients, with inclusion criteria, were included in this study. Each sample was analyzed using Steiner's skeletal classification, and the AFH and PFH were measured. The study result showed that 30% of the sample had skeletal class I malocclusion, 42% had skeletal class II, and 28% had skeletal class III. The mean score by skeletal classification for LAFH was 66.92 mm, the mean of UAFH was 50.22 mm, and the mean TAFH was 114.02. Based on the analysis results, there was no significant difference between anterior facial height (UAFH, LAFH, and TAFH) based on skeletal classification. DOI : 10.54052/jhds.v4n1.p57-68

Abstract

The denture-related oral mucosal lesion is a heterogeneous clinical and histopathological tissue alteration commonly found among older people. Dental management requires understanding dental and medical aspects and paying attention to many other factors. A 62-year-old male came to Universitas Indonesia Dental Hospital complaining of painful soreness and redness at the corner of his mouth. The patient had hypertension and had not routinely taken Amlodipine in the last three years. A blood count examination revealed normal results, except for a slightly low MCV. Diagnosis of angular cheilitis was established along with denture stomatitis and median rhomboid glossitis. Angular cheilitis was healed after administration of 0.2% Miconazole cream. Unfortunately, the patient could not use the drug correctly, so denture stomatitis and median rhomboid glossitis have not entirely resolved yet. The predisposing factors of denture-related oral mucosal lesions might be local or systemic. Proper pharmacological treatment and appropriate dental health education will make a good prognosis. However, the patient's compliance and cooperation will determine the success of dental treatment. It is essential to enhance patient compliance and overcome the treatment challenges to achieve optimal results in managing denture-related oral mucosal lesions of elderly patients.

Abstract

The main factor of periodontal disease is dental plaque, which is attached to the surface of the teeth and consists of microorganisms originating from saliva and food debris. Dental plaque has a transparent colour, so a disclosing agent is needed to identify it. Sappan wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) is a plant that contains brazilin and flavonoids that can be used for natural colouring. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of sappan wood extract (Caesalpinia sappan L.) as an alternative material for dental plaque identification. The experiment was conducted by measuring the plaque index of 20 people who did not clean their teeth for 12 hours for two periods. The first period of examination used a tablet disclosing agent, and the second period used 75% sappan wood extract. The research data were analyzed for normality with the Shapiro-Wilk dan Paired T-test. The result showed a significant difference in the mean plaque index score in the first period (1.3470) and the second period (1.0375) (p<0.05). It was concluded that staining dental plaque using a disclosing agent is more effective than 75% sappan wood extract (Caesalpinia sappan L.) DOI : 10.54052/jhds.v4n1.p47-56

Abstract

Management of dental medical waste is essential in preventing the spread of diseases, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the amount of medical waste in healthcare facilities, including dental practices. This study aims to determine the changes in dentists' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours regarding the management of dental and medical waste after the COVID-19 pandemic. The research used a survey with an observational analytical approach, quantitative methods, and a cross-sectional research design. The research sample or respondents were 50 dentists practising independently in Cimahi. Data collection used questionnaire about dentists' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours regarding managing dental and medical waste before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the Wilcoxon non-parametric test showed that the knowledge and attitudes of dentists regarding the management of dental medical waste after the COVID-19 pandemic experienced significant changes statistically (p < 0.05). However, dentists' behaviour in managing dental and medical waste did not show substantial statistical changes (p > 0.05). The study results concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted increasing dentists' awareness of the importance of managing medical waste. However, reinforcement is needed to maintain the good behaviour of dentists in managing dental medical waste. DOI : 10.54052/jhds.v4n1.p69-80

Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively review the literature and assess periodontal disease as a risk factor for nosocomial pneumonia in hospitalized patients, particularly those receiving treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU). Case-control studies and "full texts" published between 2013 and 2023 were the data sources and literature following PRISA-ScR criteria. Online electronic search engines from databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, were used to conduct the scoping review. Four articles were obtained by carefully choosing papers based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. These were then tallied and examined. In this review, four of the 1741 publications were covered. In patients receiving hospital treatment, particularly in the intensive care unit, there is a strong correlation between periodontal disease and nosocomial pneumonia. DOI : 10.54052/jhds.v4n1.p81-90

Abstract

Stunting is a condition of short stature in which the length or height of the body is not appropriate for the age when compared to the growth curve. Stunting is also known as a condition of failed growth in children (body and brain growth) caused by long-term malnutrition related to low socioeconomic status, poor maternal nutrition and health, history of recurrent illness, and inappropriate infant and child feeding practices. One way to detect initial stunting is through anthropometric measurements. Early detection prevents stunting with periodic measurements of weight and height according to age, which can help prevent and manage stunting. This research method is a literature review. Literature searches use online databases such as Google Scholar, including PubMed, DOAJ, and GARUDA, for articles published in the last ten years. Keywords related to the theme are applied during the article search process. A total of 14 articles or journals were selected as study materials. The results of the literature review explain the epidemiology, aetiology, risk factors, anthropometric measurements, and prevention of stunting in children. In conclusion, early detection through anthropometric measurements can prevent stunting and ensure more optimal management. DOI : 10.54052/jhds.v4n1.p91-104
