Abstract

Background: Dentures are a standard treatment option for replacing missing teeth. One of the most essential components of dentures is the denture base. However, the acrylic resin has a weakness, namely that it has porosity, which can cause water absorption and colour changes. Water absorption in the acrylic resin can affect its colour stability, flexural strength, and hardness over a specific period. Tea is a drink often consumed in Indonesia. Black tea has undergone oxidation of several polyphenolic compounds (catechins). The fermentation process results in the oxidation of simple polyphenols, where tea catechins are converted into more complex and concentrated molecules that give black tea its characteristic colour. The edible coating is a thin layer made from consumable materials that acts as a barrier. Objective: To determine the effect of edible coating on heat-cured acrylic resin denture plates on colour retention, flexural strength, and hardness after soaking in black tea. Materials and Methods: This research utilized 25 heat-cured acrylic resin plates, divided into five groups with varying soaking times for the edible coating. The plates were then soaked in black tea for 15 hours, after which testing was conducted on the color resistance, hardness, and flexural strength of the heat-cured acrylic resin plates. Results: Acrylic resin plates with chitosan have better colour retention than acrylic resin not soaked with chitosan. Meanwhile, flexural strength and hardness values between groups did not differ significantly. Conclusion: Chitosan immersion affects the colour durability of the heat-cured acrylic resin denture base without significantly decreasing the hardness and strength values.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is a common infectious disease that leads to the demineralization and structural degradation of the tooth's hard tissues, caused by acid-producing bacteria such as S. mutans through carbohydrate fermentation. One of the essential strategies for caries prevention is using fluoride to inhibit bacterial activity and enhance enamel remineralization. Anchovy  Stolephorus commersonnii, widely found in Indonesian waters, were rich in calcium and fluoride, particularly in the form of calcium fluoride (CaF₂), which may offer potential benefits in preventing dental caries. Objective: This study aimed to assess the fluoride concentration in S. commersonnii nanopowder to evaluate its potential as a natural source of fluoride for dental caries prevention. Materials and Methods: This research was a descriptive laboratory-based experimental study. The sample was Stolephorus commersonnii (S. commersonnii). The sample was prepared through drying, acid maceration, and high-energy milling to produce nanoparticle powder. Fluoride content was measured using two methods: a colorimetric method with a spectrophotometer and a portable fluoridemeter based on the SPADNS method. Results: The results showed that the fluoride concentration was 21.05 mg/100 g (21.05 ppm) by spectrophotometry and 20.0 ppm using the SPADNS method. The S. commersonnii nanopowder contained 1,305.80 mg/100 g calcium, 281.60 mg/100 g phosphorus, and 91.5% of particles were in the nano size. Conclusion: S. commersonnii nanopowder contains a considerable amount of fluoride and minerals, suggesting its potential as a natural dietary source of fluoride in supporting dental caries prevention strategies.

Abstract

Background: Awareness and understanding among pregnant women regarding the importance of maintaining oral and dental health play a crucial role in preventing Early Childhood Caries (ECC). Caries risk assessment is an essential part of a comprehensive and age-appropriate patient care approach. This evaluation aims to estimate the likelihood of an increase in caries incidence over time, as well as the potential progression or activity of existing lesions. Objective: to analyze the relationship between parental knowledge during pregnancy about oral and dental health and risk of the dental caries risk in children at RSGM-P Nala Husada. Materials and Methods: This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 45 samples were collected from patients at the integration clinic of RSGM-P Nala Husada. Child patients aged 3-5 years were assessed iin dental caries using CAMBRA, while the patient's mother was given a questionnaire to find out what information was known during pregnancy regarding oral and dental health. The Spearman correlation test was chosen because the data used was ordinal. Results: The Spearman correlation test revealed a significant value (p < 0.05) with a strong correlation coefficient (0.666). Conclusion: A strong relationship exists between parental knowledge during pregnancy and the risk of caries in pediatric patients at RSGM-P Nala Husada. Higher levels of maternal knowledge were associated with lower caries risk in children.

Abstract

Background: A phobia is an excessive, irrational, and persistent fear of something that makes it difficult for someone to carry out certain activities. Psychological disorders, such as a phobia of blood and injections, indicate the need for forensic identification methods that do not require blood samples. Blood type identification plays an important role in forensic cases, especially in matching the blood type of the evidence of victims or perpetrators. Objective: To analyze the accuracy of saliva as a noninvasive method for determining blood type in students of the Faculty of Dentistry, Baiturrahmah University, class of 2021. Method: This was a quantitative observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The study population comprised 80 students selected using a simple random sampling technique. Saliva samples were analyzed using the absorption inhibition method and compared with available blood type data. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0, and Fisher's exact test was performed as an alternative to the chi-square test. Results: Blood types A, B, and AB have 100% compatibility in secretor individuals, while blood type O has 0% compatibility because there are no antigens A and B in the saliva. Statistical tests showed a significant level of accuracy between blood type examination through saliva and blood type in the data (p=0.000). Conclusion: Overall, saliva blood type examination has the same level of accuracy as the conventional method.

Abstract

Background: Removable dentures are prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth. Acrylic resin is the most commonly used material for denture base fabrication. Plaque accumulation on improperly cleaned denture bases can lead to denture-associated stomatitis. Tobacco leaves have potential as a denture cleaning paste due to their antibacterial and antifungal properties. However, their phenol content may degrade polymer bonds and reduce the transverse strength of heat-cured acrylic resins. Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of using 25% and 50% tobacco leaf (Nicotiana tabacum L.) extract paste as a denture cleaning agent on the transverse strength of heat-cured acrylic resin. Method: This study used an experimental laboratory design with a post-test-only control group. Thirty rectangular block-shaped samples (60x12x3 mm) were divided into one control group (K) and two treatment groups (n=10), which were brushed with 25% (T1) and 50% tobacco leaf extract paste (T2), respectively, for 28.2 minutes. Transverse strength was tested using a universal testing machine with the three-point bending test method. Results: The transverse strengths of groups K (126.926 MPa), T1 (103.136 MPa), and T2 (83.001 MPa) were determined. The parametric test results indicated significant differences between groups K and T2 (p=0.001) and between T1 and T2 (p<0.001). However, no significant difference was observed between groups K and T1 (p=0.052). Conclusion: This study found a decrease in the transverse strength of heat-cured acrylic resin after brushing with tobacco leaf extract paste.

Abstract

Background: Intractable root canal infection remains a serious obstacle in endodontic therapy and is a frequent cause of treatment failure, with Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) as a key pathogen. This Gram-positive bacterium can persist under harsh conditions within the root canal system. Chlorhexidine is commonly used as a chemical irrigant, but its long-term application is associated with undesirable side effects, prompting the search for natural antibacterial alternatives. One promising candidate is the gletang plant (Tridax procumbens L.), which contains bioactive compounds with potential antimicrobial effects. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the ethyl acetate fraction of Tridax procumbens L. at various concentrations against E. faecalis. Method: A laboratory experimental design with post test only control group was used. Antibacterial testing was performed using the agar diffusion method with the gletang ethyl acetate fraction at 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%, chlorhexidine as a positive control, and 96% methanol as a negative control. Data were analyzed univariately in tables and bivariately using Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney tests. Results: The fraction inhibited E. faecalis growth, with the largest mean inhibition zone of 3.6 mm at 8% and the smallest at 2%, 1.6 mm. Overall activity across all concentrations was classified as weak; however, statistical analysis (p=0.003, p<0.05) confirmed a significant inhibitory effect. Conclusion: The ethyl acetate fraction of the gletang plant (Tridax procumbens L.) at 8% is effective as an antibacterial against Enterococcus faecalis, with an average inhibition zone diameter close to that of the positive control. The higher the concentration of the ethyl acetate fraction, the higher the bacterial inhibition.

Abstract

Background: Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) is the most common subepidermal bullous autoimmune disease, typically presenting as tense bullae. Atypical presentations of bullous pemphigoid often mimic TEN or impetigo, creating diagnostic ambiguity. Effective management of these cases requires integrated strategies to address systemic health factors and extensive oral mucosal involvement. Objective: This report highlights the Oral Health Care Management of atypical oral and cutaneous manifestations of Bullous Pemphigoid. Case: A 58-year-old woman with a history of Diabetes Mellitus and heart disease was referred with extensive bullae, erosions, and "honey-like" crusts involving over 30% of her body surface area. Her condition worsened despite two weeks of treatment with acyclovir, which was administered for suspected herpes. The presentation was highly suggestive of TEN and impetigo. Case Management: Management of the oral and perioral lesions focused on infection prevention and pain relief. Debridement was performed using sterile gauze soaked in normal saline and 0.2% chlorhexidine. This was followed by the application of Aloevera extract gel/spray. Comprehensive systemic therapy, including corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, was coordinated by a multidisciplinary team to control the autoimmune disease and its comorbidities. Conclusion: The presence of comorbidities, such as diabetes, further complicates systemic management and heightens the risk of secondary infections, requiring meticulous wound care. A multidisciplinary diagnostic algorithm, supported by supplementary examinations, is crucial for differentiating atypical BP from TEN and impetigo infection. Adequate management of associated oral and perioral manifestations is an integral component of comprehensive patient care.
