Abstract

Introduction: Gingiva is a mucous membrane that is closely attached to the periosteum of the jaw. The color of the gingiva varies, it ranges from pink to dark brown. Melanin is the most common natural pigment that contributes to endogenous gingival pigmentation. The degree of pigmentation depends on a few factors. This gingival hyperpigmentation is considered a normal variation, but the discoloration is aesthetically displeasing to some patients. Thus, surgical intervention may be necessary. Purpose: Report the procedure of gingival depigmentation using a scalpel in a 39-year-old woman with gingival hyperpigmentation.. Case presentation: A 39-year-old female visited the Hospital complaining that her upper front gums were dark brown since 1 year ago. Clinical examination showed brown discoloration of the anterior attached gingiva of the upper and lower jaws. Based on clinical and radiographic examinations, the patient was diagnosed with generalized chronic periodontitis accompanied by gingival hyperpigmentation in the anterior maxilla and mandible. In the nonsurgical phase, scaling was carried out, oral hygiene education was performed. After that, gingival depigmentation surgery was performed using the scrapping technique. Follow-up was carried out after surgery. Satisfactory results were obtained, marked by the clinical appearance, rapid healing and the patient felt comfortable with minimal pain during the healing process. Conclusion: Scalpel technique is one of the procedures performed in cases of gingival hyperpigmentation. This technique can restore the aesthetics of the patient's gingiva in a simple, safe and non-invasive way and shows satisfactory results and has a fast wound healing time. Keywords: Gingival hyperpigmentation; periodontal surgery; scalpel technique

Abstract

Introduction: Increased blood glucose levels are caused by a lifestyle that involves excessive consumption of foods and drinks containing sweeteners. Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni leaves are a natural ingredient that can be used as a natural sweetener because it contains stevioside and rebaudioside A with a sweet taste effect that is 200 to 300 times higher than the sucrose found in granulated sugar. However, there are still few studies reporting comparative data on fasting blood glucose levels after consuming natural Stevia and granulated sugar as a sweetener in healthy individuals. Objective: To compare the increase in fasting blood glucose levels after consuming Stevia and granulated sugar as sweeteners in healthy individuals. Method: Experimental research with a pretest-posttest with control group design carried out using purposive sampling, research subjects were 40 people aged 17-23 years who were asked to fast for 8-10 hours. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured before consuming powdered and liquid Stevia, granulated sugar and mineral water as a control and further measurements were carried out 45 minutes after treatment. Results: The highest increase in fasting blood glucose levels occurred in subjects who consumed granulated sugar solution, namely 15.8 mg/dL, followed by subjects who consumed liquid Stevia solution at 6.6 mg/dL, and the lowest in subjects who consumed powdered Stevia solution. Stevia solution is 5.6 mg/dL. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in blood glucose levels before and after the treatment of consuming powdered Stevia, liquid Stevia and granulated sugar sweetener. The increase in fasting blood glucose levels after consuming powdered or liquid Stevia sweetener was significantly lower than granulated sugar sweetener. Keywords: Stevia, Granulated Sugar, Blood Glucose Levels

Abstract

Introduction: Cuka pempek is a typical Palembang food that contains acid as one of its ingredients. Continuous consumption of cuka pempek can affect the surface roughness of hot polymerized acrylic resin denture bases due to its ability to absorb liquids. Purpose: To determine the effect of acid types in cuka pempek on the surface roughness of hot polymerized acrylic resin denture bases. Methods: Thirty plates of hot polymerized acrylic resin measuring 65mm x 10mm x 2,5mm were divided into 3 groups. The initial surface roughness value (pretest) was calculated using a surface roughness tester. Soaking was carried out on group I (tamarind-based cuka pempek), group II (vinegar acid-based cuka pempek), and group III (control) with distilled water. Soaking was carried out for 30 hours in an incubator at 37°C. Measurement of the final surface roughness (post-test) was carried out. Results: The results of the normality test with the Shapiro-Wilk and the Levene test homogeneity test showed that the data were found to be normally distributed and homogenous. The paired t-test showed significant differences in all groups. The results of the one-way ANOVA test showed a significant difference. The results of the Bonferroni post hoc test showed a significant difference between tamarind-based and vinegar acid-based cuka pempek against distilled water, while there was no significant difference between tamarind-based and vinegar acid-based cuka pempek. Conclusion: There is an effect of the type of acid in cuka pempek on the surface roughness of the hot polymerized acrylic resin denture base.

Abstract

Background: Nanofilled resin composites are popular for their aesthetics but are vulnerable to discoloration and surface degradation, particularly in acidic environments. Gochujang, a Korean chili paste, is increasingly consumed and may affect dental restorations. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of gochujang sauce immersion on the color stability and surface roughness of nanofilled resin composite. Methods: Thirty-three Filtek™ Z350 XT A3 samples were divided into three groups (n=11): immediate control, distilled water control, and gochujang treatment. The treatment group was immersed daily in a 1:1 gochujang-distilled water solution (16 h) and distilled water (8 h) for four days at 37°C. Color change (ΔE) was measured with a VITA Easyshade V spectrophotometer; surface roughness (Ra) with a Taylor Hobson Surtonic S-100. Results: Gochujang immersion significantly increased color change (ΔE, p<0.001) and surface roughness (Ra, p=0.009) compared to controls between groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Gochujang immersion adversely affects both color stability and surface roughness of nanofilled resin composites.

Abstract

Introduction: Gingival enlargement is a pathological overgrowth of gingival tissue commonly associated with chronic inflammation, poor oral hygiene, or local irritants. This condition may compromise periodontal health, esthetics, and oral function, particularly in the anterior region. Surgical intervention, such as gingivectomy, is indicated when fibrotic enlargement persists after initial non-surgical periodontal therapy.  Purpose: This case report aims to describe the clinical management and outcomes of inflammatory gingival enlargement treated with conventional gingivectomy following non-surgical initial periodontal therapy. Case presentation: Two adult patients presented with gingival enlargement in the anterior region accompanied by bleeding during toothbrushing. Clinical examinations revealed firm, fibrotic gingiva with probing depths of approximately 4 mm and no radiographic evidence of alveolar bone loss. Following phase I periodontal therapy, including scaling and root planing, residual gingival overgrowth persisted. Both patients subsequently underwent conventional gingivectomy using a scalpel under local anesthesia. External bevel incisions were performed, followed by gingivoplasty to reestablish physiological gingival contours. Postoperative evaluation at one week demonstrated reduced inflammation, satisfactory wound healing, coral-pink gingiva, and restoration of normal gingival morphology. Conclusion: Conventional gingivectomy was effective in managing persistent inflammatory gingival enlargement after initial periodontal therapy, resulting in improved gingival contour, enhanced esthetics, and facilitation of oral hygiene. Long-term success requires adequate plaque control and elimination of predisposing factors to prevent recurrence.

Abstract

Introduction: Epoxy resin-based sealer is the gold standard sealer because of its good physical properties. However, epoxy resin sealer has the potential for cytotoxicity which can inhibit the healing process of periapical tissue. Calcium silicate-based sealer is an alternative sealer because of its more biocompatible properties. Methods: The study used PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct databases from 2019 to 2024. The journals used were by the inclusion and exclusion criteria, then bias analysis was carried out and summarized to determine the cytotoxicity of calcium silicate and epoxy resin-based sealer. Results: This study successfully synthesized 19 in vitro journals with low bias results in 16 journals and 3 journals with moderate bias. In general, calcium silicate-based sealers have lower cytotoxicity than epoxy resin-based sealers with the explanation that the composition, conditions, and exposure time of the material play an important role in the biological properties of the sealer. Conclusion: Calcium silicate-based sealers exhibit lower cytotoxicity than epoxy resin-based sealers.

Abstract

Introduction: The smear layer is a by-product of root canal instrumentation that may interfere with effective canal disinfection. Irrigation plays a crucial role in removing debris, microorganisms, and smear layer, particularly in the apical third, which is difficult to clean due to anatomical complexity. Pagar Alam green tea leaf extract (Camellia sinensis L.) has been proposed as a natural alternative irrigation material with potential smear layer removal properties. Purpose: To determine the concentration of Pagar Alam green tea leaf extract that effectively removes smear layer. Methods: This quasi-experimental study used 24 mandibular premolar teeth divided into four treatment groups. Root canals were prepared using the crown-down technique with hand ProTaper instruments and irrigated as follows: Group A: 25% Pagar Alam green tea leaf extract; Group B: 50% Pagar Alam green tea leaf extract; Group C: 2.5% NaOCl followed by 17% EDTA; and Group D: distilled water. The samples were sectioned longitudinally and evaluated under a measuring microscope at 1000× magnification using a visual scoring system. Data were analyzed using the Kappa test, Kruskal–Wallis test, and Mann–Whitney test. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in smear layer removal between Group B (50% Pagar Alam green tea leaf extract) and Group C (2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA) (p > 0.05). Conclusion: A 50% concentration of Pagar Alam green tea leaf extract is effective in removing the smear layer in the apical third of the root canal.

Abstract

Introduction: Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement (RMGIC) is a restorative material that combines the properties of Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) and Composite Resin. RMGIC is prone to external discoloration due to exposure of dark colored beverages such as coffee, tea, and Coca-Cola. Extrinsic stains of the overlaid material can be removed using whitening toothpaste. A lot of people drink Coca-Cola, however, there has not been many studies discussing the effect of whitening toothpaste brushing on the RMGIC discolored by Coca-Cola. Purpose: To analyze the effect of brushing with whitening toothpaste on RMGIC discolored by Coca-Cola. Methods: Thirty cylindrical RMGIC (GC Fuji II LC® Light-Cured, GC Corp, Japan) specimens, 6 mm in diameter, 2 mm in thickness were divided into 3 groups treated with 3 toothpastes respectively. The specimens were soaked in Coca-Cola for 7 days and then brushed using various toothpastes namely Pepsodent 8 Plus Whitening Toothpaste, Pepsodent Regular Toothpaste, and no toothpaste for 4 minutes 40 seconds. Results: Brushing with different toothpaste groups resulted in a significantly different increase in L* values (p<0.05), a significantly different decrease in b* and a* values (p<0.05). The color change caused by brushing Pepsodent 8 Plus Whitening Toothpaste was significantly different with brushing Pepsodent Regular Toothpaste. Conclusion: Brushing Coca-Cola discolored RMGIC with whitening toothpaste resulted in the greatest improvement in brightness and discoloration compared to other toothpastes.

Abstract

Introduction: Fixed orthodontic appliances complicate oral hygiene and promote biofilm accumulation, increasing the risk of periodontal disease. Toothpaste formulations with antimicrobial properties such as Lactobacillus paracasei probiotics, cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), and amyloglucosidase–glucose oxidase enzymes are commonly used to manage oral biofilm and control pathogenic bacteria. However, the extent of their effectiveness against periodontal pathogens in orthodontic patients remains unclear. Purpose: This review aims to map and summarize the current evidence on the efficacy of various toothpaste formulations in reducing periodontal pathogens among patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Methods: A comprehensive search of electronic databases (e.g., PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar) was conducted to identify relevant studies published from 2015 to 2025. Data were extracted and synthesized narratively, focusing on types of formulations, study outcomes, and microbial targets. Results: Formulations containing antimicrobial agents such as probiotics, enzymes, and cetylpyridinium chloride showed variable effects on specific periodontal pathogens, including Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Each mechanism antimicrobial, probiotic, and enzymatic addresses different aspects of biofilm regulation. Conclusion: Toothpastes containing L. paracasei probiotics, CPC, and amyloglucosidase–glucose oxidase enzymes offer complementary ways to control periodontal pathogens in orthodontic patients. Combining these mechanisms may enhance biofilm control and microbial balance, though further research is needed to confirm their long-term benefits.
