Abstract

Background: Digital transformation in dental healthcare has brought forward Smart Odontogram systems that offer structured, electronic, and real-time documentation of dental conditions. This tool is particularly valuable for early detection, monitoring, and prevention of oral diseases. However, its success relies heavily on management readiness and policy.  Objective: This study aimed to review the implementation of the Smart Odontogram application from a managerial and policy perspective in supporting preventive dentistry. Methods: This study used a mixed-methods approach. The sample consisted of 12 selected individuals using purposive sampling. Inclusion criterion was involvement in Smart Odontogram implementation for at least six months. Primary data were obtained from interviews and questionnaires, focusing on organizational readiness, human resource competency and training, and managerial challenges and policies. Results: The hospital management has implemented both the hardware and software of Smart Odontogram, but not much (33.3%) integrated with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. Only one participant reported a lack of mentoring (8,3%), and only a few received basic training on Smart Odontogram (16,7%).  Only one experienced an oversight of data input (8,3%), and a few reported about the lack of quality of data system control (16,7%). Most participants considered Smart Odontogram to be a significant support of preventive dentistry, particularly in the early identification of caries and periodontal diseases (83,3%). Conclusion: The implementation of Smart Odontogram, supported by sound managerial strategies and policies, significantly enhanced preventive dentistry at Nala Husada Dental Hospital.

Abstract

Background: Scaffolds represent biomaterials designed to provide structural support for cellular adhesion and growth factor sequestration, emulating the extracellular matrix (ECM) to promote tissue regeneration. Plant-based tissues have garnered attention as viable scaffold alternatives owing to their architectural homology with human extracellular structures. Gambier leaves (Uncaria gambir) stand out for their inherent porous, trabecular morphology, where microporosity is pivotal in facilitating cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation. Objective: This study aims to elucidate the microporous characteristics of decellularized gambier leaves via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Method: Fresh leaves were meticulously cleaned, cryopreserved at −20°C, and fashioned into five circular discs employing a biopsy punch. Decellularization entailed submersion in 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) for five days, succeeded by distilled water lavage. Subsequent cyclic treatment with Tween-20 and NaClO solutions, applied every 24 hours, continued until optical translucency was achieved. Processed tissues underwent thorough washing, overnight fixation, serial ethanol dehydration, hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) treatment, 50 nm gold sputter-coating, and SEM evaluation across three magnifications. Results: Microscopy revealed surface wrinkling and partial architectural collapse in multiple specimens, likely due to dehydration-induced artifacts. Conversely, a single intact sample exhibited pronounced microporosity, as evidenced by pore diameters of 0.689 µm and 0.5512 µm. Conclusion: These observations affirm the microporous potential of decellularized gambier leaves for cellular anchorage and nutrient permeation, bolstering their candidacy as plant-derived scaffolds in tissue engineering. Nonetheless, inter-sample variability underscores the need for refined decellularization/dehydration methods and expanded quantitative assessments to ensure reproducible structural integrity.

Abstract

Background: Dental health in preschool children is an important aspect that should be introduced early. However, cognitive limitations and short attention spans at this age require educational methods appropriate to their developmental stage. Pojok Sikat Gigi is an activity that consists of various health promotion and preventive strategies carried out at TK Sepuluh November Surabaya, targeting teachers, parents, and students. One strategy is dental health education through storytelling, using hand puppets and interactive activities. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of dental health education with storytelling and interactive activities on improving preschool students’ knowledge of dental health. Method: 34 students aged between 5-7 were the sample in this research. This was a pre-experimental research with a pre- and post-test design. The pretest score was measured through a Q&A session before education. The posttest score was measured by asking students to write down their answers on a piece of paper, guided by the researcher who read the same questions. The pre- and post-test knowledge scores were compared using the Wilcoxon statistical test to assess whether there was a significant difference after the educational intervention. Results: The mean pretest score was 2.24, and the posttest score was 5 (maximum score was 5). The Wilcoxon test value was sig=0.00<0.05, meaning that there was a significant difference between the scores before and after education. Conclusion: The storytelling method and interactive activities are effective in improving preschool students’ knowledge of dental health.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of dental caries in Indonesia reaches 88.8%. Chlorhexidine, although effective, has side effects such as tooth discoloration. Cinnamomum zeylanicum is rich in cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, with antibacterial activity that makes it a natural alternative. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oil against Streptococcus mutans inoculated in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) in preventing dental caries. Method: This study used 20 male Wistar rats, divided into five groups: negative control, positive control, and three treatment groups with Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oil concentrations of 6.25%, 10%, and 12.5%. Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) was inoculated orally in 0.2 ml using a pipette for three consecutive days. During the study, rats were fed a diet mixed with a sucrose solution (600 mg of sucrose dissolved in 1 liter of Aquadest) at a 1:500 ml-to-pellet ratio to induce caries. After 20 days of treatment, data were collected using a bacterial inhibitory zone assay by disk diffusion and salivary pH measurement. Data analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tamhane’s post-hoc test, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: One-way ANOVA test showed no significant differences in the inhibitory zone (p>0.05). Post-hoc tests showed that all groups were not significant (p>0.05). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed significant differences in salivary pH before and after treatment (p<0.05). Conclusion: Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oil has potential as an antibacterial agent and natural alternative in preventing dental caries against S. mutans, and is able to change the salivary pH to alkaline.
