Abstract

Introduction: Patients with full edentulism experience difficulties in chewing food, thus requiring complete dentures aiming to restore the missing teeth, other structures, and the patient's masticatory efficiency. Complete denture fabrication requires retention, stability and support of the remaining tissues. This is influenced by the selection of a good occlusion concept. There are several types of occlusion concepts such as Bilateral Balanced Occlusion (BBO), Lingualized Occlusion (LO) and Canine Guided Occlusion (CGO). Purpose: The aim of this literature review was to determine the use of the ideal occlusion concept in complete dentures according to the patient's condition. Methods: Literature was selected using the databases PubMed, Science Direct, Wiley Online Library, Elsevier, and Google Scholar from January 2007 to December 2022. Articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration Tool for bias assessment and summarized to obtain data on occlusion concept for fabricating full denture. Results: Fourteen randomized controlled trial journals discussing about three occlusion concepts that are BBO, LO and CGO were included in this literature review. Occlusal concept should be used according to the indication and condition of the patient. Conclusion: Occlusion concepts give positive impact if chosen wisely according to the patient's condition.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the pathogenic bacteria that causes dental caries was Streptococcus mutans. The use of antibacterial agents such as chlorhexidine was the gold standard for eliminating Streptococcus mutans but can cause side effects if used long term. Traditional medicine is still used as an alternative by Indonesian people to reduce the side effects of chemical drugs. Suruhan leaves were wild plants that contain antibacterial compounds in the form of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and phenols which can inhibit bacterial growth. Purpose: This study aims to determine the antibacterial potency of suruhan leaves extract against the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria. Methods: This study was an in vitro laboratory experimental study. The treatment group consisted of ethanol extract of suruhan leaves in concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, and 50%. The control group consisted of 0.2% chlorhexidine as positive control and distilled water as negative control. Antibacterial activity test used the disc diffusion method. The inhibition zone values were measured then analyzed using statistical one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey tests. Results: The largest mean inhibition zone of ethanol extract of suruhan leaves formed was 16.47 mm at a concentration of 50%, whereas at a concentration of 5%, it had no antibacterial activity. Conclusion: Ethanol extract of suruhan leaves (Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth) concentrations of 10%, 15%, 25%, and 50% had antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans.

Abstract

Introduction: Irritation by bacteria can cause infection of the dental pulp, including Staphylococcus aureus which is the most resistant facultative microorganism that can cause root canal treatment failure. Root canal treatment is necessary to eliminate infection and protect the decontaminated tooth. Eliminating microorganisms from infected root canals is a complex task that requires various instrumentation techniques such as root canal irrigation, and the selection of irrigation materials that have antibacterial criteria, one of which is propolis. The antimicrobial properties of propolis are related to the presence of flavonoids. The antimicrobial activity of propolis is very effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Purpose: To explain the inhibition of propolis extract as an alternative to irrigation solution in habituating the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in root canal treatment. Methods: This research is true experimental research conducted using the disc method in a laboratory. The samples tested were 24 samples in the form of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) media. Variations of treatment concentration were propolis extract 2.5%, 5.25%, NaOCl 5.25% (positive control) and sterile distilled water (negative control). Results: The average inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in propolis Trigona sp. 5.25% was 8.6 ± 0.5 mm. In positive control NaOCl 5.25% was 9.5 ± 0.9 mm. Hypothesis testing has a value of p=0,000 (p<0,05). Conclusion: There is an inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria at a concentration of 5.25% propolis extract.

Abstract

Introduction: Nutrition is a crucial factor in the body's growth and development process, particularly for the jawbones and teeth. A lack of proper nutrition can lead to slow growth of the maxilla and mandible, resulting in an imbalance in the relationship between the upper and lower jaw arches. This disharmony can cause malocclusion. The objective of this study was to review the most recent cross-sectional studies from the last 10 years that report on the relationship between malnutrition and malocclusion. Purpose: To find out more information on the influence of malnutrition on the occurrence in malocclusion. Methods: The literature survey was carried out using the Google Scholar, Sciencedirect and PubMed databases. Data search utilized the Boolean Search method. Results: The initial search yielded 58 citations which were then selected and duplicates were removed. There were 10 articles found. Conclusion: The studies cited in this literature review indicate that not all journals suggest a significant difference between malnutrition and malocclusion.

Abstract

A smile is a human facial feature that is attractive and one of the forms of human communication and expression. An esthetic smile is determined by several factors such as the shape, position, and color of the teeth, as well as the condition of the frenulum labialis. Aberrant frenulum labialis can be treated by performing a frenectomy. Properly diagnosing and planning the management of aberrant frenulum must be done to achieve satisfactory results both in healing and aesthetics. This literature review is a compilation of an overview of the frenulum and its classification of attachments, indications and contraindications for frenectomy, and various techniques of frenectomy.

Abstract

Introduction: Pulp necrosis in immature permanent teeth results in incomplete root development with short roots and thin dentinal walls that can lead to fracture. Apexification, the main treatment, did not increase the length and thickness of the root canal wall, making the teeth susceptible to fracture. Regenerative endodontic treatment uses a tissue engineering triad that allows the root to continue developing, increases the dentinal wall thickness, and restores the tooth's vitality to prevent fracture. Purpose: This literature review aimed to examine the effectiveness of regenerative endodontics in treating necrotic immature permanent teeth and which component is the most commonly used and effective. Methods: The literature review uses Google Scholar, DOAJ, Science Direct, and Pubmed data for the last five years, calculated from 2018 to 2023. The journals used fit with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, then analyzed using the Case Report Statement and Checklist and summarized to obtain data on the effectivity of regenerative endodontic treatment in necrotic immature permanent teeth.  Results: This literature review successfully synthesized 18 Case Reports from journals that performed endodontic regeneration treatment on immature permanent teeth with necrosis using various components. Conclusion: Regenerative endodontic treatment using NaOCl with concentrations ranging from 1% to 2,5 %, EDTA 17% as irrigation solutions together with Ca(OH)2 as an intracanal medicament and blood clot as a scaffold proven to effectively eliminate disease, induce bone healing, and restoring the vitality of necrotic immature permanent teeth.

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontitis is defined as an inflammatory disease of the tooth-supporting tissues caused by certain microorganisms. One of the surgical treatments for generalized chronic periodontitis is gingival curettage. Gingival curettage is a closed surgical procedure involving the removal of inflamed soft tissue lateral to the pocket wall. The goal is to promote the attachment of new connective tissue to the root surface by removing the pocket lining and junctional epithelium using a curette.Purpose: To determine whether gingival curettage is an effective treatment for patients with generalized chronic periodontitis. Case presentation: A 26-year-old female patient presented to the Special Dental and Oral Hospital of South Sumatra Province with complaints of rough masses on all of her teeth. Clinical examination revealed calculus in all regions, an OHI-S score of 1.83 (medium), and an O'Leary plaque index score of 41.37%. Probing depths ranged from 1 to 5 mm, with positive BOP on almost all teeth. After scaling and root planing, the decision was made to proceed with gingival curettage for the patient.Conclusion: In this case, gingival curettage helped reduce pocket depth and restored the gingiva to a more normal appearance. This demonstrates that gingival curettage can be an effective treatment for chronic periodontitis.
