Abstract

Background: Gingival hyperpigmentation can occur in active smokers with high frequency. The current treatment is surgical. Therefore, researchers found a new breakthrough by creating a minimally extensive treatment, namely gel preparations. Combination of turmeric (Curcuma domestica) and moringa leaf (Moringa oleifera) extract that has the potential as a tyrosinase enzyme inhibitor. The extract will be made in a gel preparation. This study aims to determine the most optimal concentration of the gel. Method: This study used an experimental method. The gel preparation was made with various concentrations of turmeric extract and moringa leaf extract, namely F1 0.1%: 2%, F2 0.5%: 4% and F3 0.9%: 6%. Followed by testing the physical and chemical properties. Chemical properties in the form of pH, physical properties in the form of organoleptic, homogeneity, adhesiveness and spreadability by measuring the diameter of TB (No Load), B50 (Load 50 g), B100 (Load 100 g) and B150 (Load 150 g). Results: The results showed that F1, F2 and F3 were homogeneous with dark brown color, distinctive smell of moringa leaves and increasingly dilute form with each additional concentration with pH (F1) 7.99, (F2) 7.71 and (F3) 7.58. The spreadability of gel preparation F1 (TB) 2.7, (B50) 2.8, (B100) 2.9, (B150) 3.1; F2 (TB) 2.8, (B50) 3.1, (B100) 3.3, (B150) 3.5 and F3 (TB) 4.2, (B50) 4.6, (B100) 4.7, (B150) 5.1 based on these observations it is known that F3 meets the criteria for spreadability at a load of 150 gr. Conclusion: Based on this study, it can be concluded that F3 gel, a combination of turmeric extract and moringa leaf extract, has the most optimal formula because it almost meets all the requirements for gel preparations.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Gingival enlargement can be treated with periodontal therapy, starting with the initial phase therapy, which includes dental health education and scaling-root planing. When the enlargement persists after the initial treatment is carried out, a surgical procedure, namely gingivectomy, is needed.Method: A 22-year-old male patient came to RSGM UNIMUS complaining that his upper front gums appeared enlarged. The patient had been aware of the complaint since the examination during the scaling procedure two weeks ago. There was no pain in the enlarged gums, but they bled when brushing his teeth. The patient wanted to get treatment for his gums. The patient denied any relevant medical history and allergies.Outcome: The gingivectomy in this patient improved the gingiva appearance and lengthened the clinical crown on the upper anterior teeth.Conclusion: Gingivectomy was proven to be an effective surgical therapy to eliminate gingival enlargement and maintain the proportional gingival appearance, especially on the anterior teeth. However, considering the complexity of the case, more extensive mouth rehabilitation is required.

Abstract

Background: A popular medicinal plant in Indonesia, red shoot leaves (Syzygium myrtifolium Walp) have been extensively explored for their biological activity and potential to promote hard tissue healing in tooth sockets after extraction. However, few studies have examined this potential. Analyzing the impact of red leaf extract with different solvents on alveolar bone repair in the post-extraction socket in Wistar rats was the aim of this investigation.Method: This study aimed to determine differences in the healing process of bone after tooth extraction. Conducted on 15 male Wistar rats (12 weeks old, weighing 150 – 200 grams). The experiment includes three groups: Group A (5 animals received a gel base as a negative control group), Group B: (5 animals received 2% n-hexane gel treatment of red shoot leaves) and Group C (5 animals received 2% extract ethanol gel of red shoot leaves, based on designated observation days 30. The assessment involves bone remodeling area o from radiograph.Outcome: The average alveolar bone density varies greatly, as indicated by the study's p value of 0.000 (p < 0.005). The group that had 2% n-hexane gel treatment for red shoot leaves had the highest average alveolar bone density. According to the results of the phytochemical screening test, the n-hexane extract included triterpenoid and steroids, but the ethanol extract contained flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids. The findings of this study demonstrate that the use of solvents with varying polarity can have an impact on bone remodeling.Conclusion: The alveolar bone mineral density of Wistar rats following tooth extraction was increased by 2% n-hexane gel treatment of red shoot leaves.

Abstract

Background: Permanent first molar teeth are the key to determining occlusion in dental development. One of the consequences of lower first molar tooth loss is upper first molar tooth extrusion. Tooth loss leads to structural changes in the dental arch, so replacing the missing teeth as soon as possible is important. This can be achieved with the help of a fixed partial denture.Case: A 21-year-old female patient came to the Prosthodontic Department of UNIMUS RSGMP in May 2024, complaining of discomfort and chewing food difficulty, the patient also felt that her upper molars began to look elongated. The treatment results showed no complaints, good retention, stabilization and occlusion of the fixed partial denture.Conclusion: Fixed partial denture treatment with hygienic pontic in cases of extruded antagonistic teeth shows a good level of treatment success characterized by the absence of complaints of either a sense of blocking when chewing food or speaking, no signs of inflammation or trauma as well as good retention, stabilization, and occlusion of the fixed partial denture.

Abstract

Background: Cephalometric analysis plays a critical role in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The identification of anatomical landmarks from lateral cephalograms is crucial for assessing skeletal and dental relationships. Traditionally, cephalometric analysis is performed manually by orthodontists, which is time-consuming and susceptible to inter-observer variability. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in cephalometry has the potential to improve diagnostic efficiency and reduce errors. WEBCEPH is an AI-based cephalometric analysis software that automatically detects cephalometric landmarks, allowing for more accurate and efficient analysis compared to traditional manual methods. This study aims to assess the accuracy of AI-based cephalometric analysis using WEBCEPH compared to conventional cephalometric measurement.Method: This study analyzed 30 lateral cephalometric radiographs with good quality and no dental or craniofacial deformities. Each cephalogram was analyzed using both conventional and digital methods. The Stainer cephalometric skeletal, dental, and soft tissue analyses from both methods were compared using independent t-tests and Mann-whitney.Outcome: The statistical results indicate that there was no significant difference between conventional and digital methods for all Steiner cephalometric analysis. The WEBCEPH software demonstrated good agreement with conventional methods in cephalometric analysis.Conclusion: AI-based cephalometric analysis using WEBCEPH provides comparable accuracy to conventional methods, offering a reliable and efficient alternative for orthodontic diagnosis.
