Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Streptococcus mutans is the primary cause of dental caries due to its acidogenic and aciduric properties. Natural antibacterial agents, such as bamboo charcoal extract, have been explored as potential alternatives to synthetic antimicrobial agents. However, the effectiveness of bamboo charcoal extract in inhibiting Streptococcus mutans remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial potential of bamboo charcoal extract at various concentrations.Methods: This research was conducted using a laboratory experimental method. The number of samples per group was determined using the Federer formula (t−1)(n−1)≥15, where t is the number of treatment groups and n the number of replications. With seven groups (six concentrations of bamboo charcoal extract and one positive control), a minimum of three replications per group was required, resulting in 21 samples in total. Bamboo charcoal extract was prepared through maceration using 96% ethanol and tested at concentrations of 0%, 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, 50%, and 62.5% against Streptococcus mutans using the disk diffusion method. A 0.2% chlorhexidine solution served as the positive control. Inhibition zones were measured after a 24-hour incubation at 37°C.Results:  Statistical analysis using descriptive analysis showed no significant difference in inhibition zones. None of the bamboo charcoal extract concentrations demonstrated antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans. In contrast, the positive control (0.2% chlorhexidine) produced a significant inhibition zone of 12.56 mm.Conclusion:  Bamboo charcoal extract at concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, 50%, and 62.5% did not show any inhibitory effect on the growth of Streptococcus mutans.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries in children has quite serious impacts, such as teeth becoming porous, cavities, and even breaking, causing children to experience chewing and digestive problems. Maintaining the dental health of children under five years old still depends on parents, especially on his mother because in general children under five are closer to their mothers. Knowledge is a factor that very important in the formation of a person's actions. The Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) is a measuring tool used to assess the impact of dental health on the quality of life of early childhood. Manually measuring the ECOHIS index often takes a long time and is prone to errors. To increase efficiency, a digital dental calculator application was developed as a digital technology-based solution for calculating the ECOHIS index.Objective: This study aims to compare the calculation time between the manual calculation method and the digital dental calculator application.Method: This type of research is a quasi experiment with a research design using a posttest only group design. The sampling technique used a convenience sampling technique totaling 70 samples professional student at RSGM Baiturrahmah that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was taken in two stages, namely manual measurements in the first week and digital measurements in the third week.Results: The average time duration for manually measuring the ECOHIS index is 88.11 seconds, while with the digital application it is only 38.31 seconds. Statistical test results show that there are significant differences between digital and manual calculations. Mann Whitney test results showed a significant difference of 0.000 (p<0.05).Conclusion: the use of a digital dental calculator can speed up the measurement of the ECOHIS index.

Abstract

Background: The advancement of information technology requires hospitals to manage information systems efficiently. However, RSIGM Sultan Agung Semarang still encounters difficulties in optimizing its Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) to support daily operations and strategic decisions. This study aims to examine the influence of human, organizational, and technological factors on the net benefits of HMIS, both individually and collectivelyMethod: A mixed-methods design with convergent triangulation was employed, integrating qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative insights were obtained through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, while quantitative data were gathered via a structured, validated questionnaire distributed using total and stratified random sampling.Result: The results showed that organizational and technological factors had a significant positive effect on the perceived net benefit of HMIS, with organizational support identified as the most influential. In contrast, the human factor demonstrated a significant negative impact, suggesting user-related barriers to system use. Collectively, the three factors explained a considerable portion of the variance in net benefit.Conclusion: The study concluded that strengthening organizational systems and advancing technological components were essential for enhancing HMIS performance. Addressing human factors through targeted training and simplifying system interfaces was also necessary to improve user experience and satisfaction

Abstract

Background: Gingival enlargement is the most common characteristic of various conditions, such as inflammation, medication effects, systemic conditions like pregnancy, leukemia, and can also be caused by orthodontic treatment. There is a positive correlation between the duration of orthodontic appliance use and the incidence of gingival enlargement since it facilitates biofilm accumulation and bacterial colonization, which triggers the inflammation.Case: A 24-year-old female patient came to RSGM UNIMUS with complaints of swollen gums in the posterior maxilla and anterior mandible, causing her teeth to appear shorter. She has experienced this issue for the past five years since using fixed orthodontic appliances. Intraoral examination revealed significant swelling in almost the entire gingival region of both the upper and lower jaws, along with a conical supernumerary tooth in the anterior region of the lower jaw. Physiological pigmentation was noted in the anterior gingiva of the mandible, which is showing a brownish color. Radiographs showedhorizontal bone loss at the alveolar crest in the lower jaw. Gingivectomy with scaling and root planning, extraction of the supernumerary tooth, and depigmentation were planned for this case.Outcome: Following a one-month post-operative evaluation, the treatment outcomes for the patient were promising with minimal pain reported. She noted that her confidence in her appearance has significantly improved.Conclusion: The use of fixed orthodontic appliances is correlated with gingival enlargement due to several factors. These appliances can lead to increased plaque accumulation and biofilm formation around the brackets and wires, which triggers inflammation. The mechanical irritation from the appliances can also exacerbate the condition, making it harder for patients to maintain her oral hygiene.

Abstract

Background: Odontogenic Keratocyst or OKC is one of the odontogenic cysts of the jaw. Its prevalence is greater in the lower jaw. OKC radiographically appears with unicystic or multicystic lesions. To be able to recognize it in a radiograph is very difficult and sometimes causes difficulties. The most special thing about this lesion is that it has a shallop border, enlarges by walking along the bone and tissue causing resorption of the roots of the involved teeth. Case: there are two cases that have similarities between each other. First case: An 11-year-old girl came to the radiographic installation for a panoramic examination, with swelling in right mandible since 8 months ago. Second case: A 32-year-old woman came to do  a panoramic examination. Patient complaints of swelling in the mucosa of lower mandible since 6 months ago. Both cases were diagnosed as Odontokeratocyst (OKC). Conclusion: OKC basically has a quite different appearance in radiographs. This difference is easily recognized specifically in both cases in children and adults. This difference can be known from the characteristics of the growth type, scallop borders and minimal resorption of the tooth roots. However, OKC has a high recurrence rate. Panoramic radiography is quite capable of showing all the differentiating characteristics needed.

Abstract

Background: β-thalassemia major patients exhibit higher dental caries prevalence due to systemic complications including iron overload from regular blood transfusions. This study aimed to assess dental caries status, salivary pH, and buffer capacity in β-thalassemia major patients and investigate correlations with ferritin blood concentration.Method: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 24 β-thalassemia major patients aged 12-17 years. Salivary function was assessed by salivary pH and buffer capacity. Dental caries status was evaluated using the DMF-T index. Ferritin blood concentrations were correlated with salivary function and dental caries using Pearson analysis.Outcome: Mean salivary pH was 5.74±0.63 (acidic), buffer capacity was 3.98±0.21, DMF-T score was 6.17±1.97, and ferritin level was 5830.54±2823.91 ng/mL. Ferritin levels showed moderate negative correlations with salivary pH (r=-0.718, p<0.001) and buffer capacity (r=-0.737, p<0.001), and positive correlation with DMF-T scores (r=0.696, p<0.001). Strong negative correlations were found between DMF-T scores and salivary pH (r=-0.915, p<0.001) and buffer capacity (r=-0.913, p<0.001).Conclusion: Iron overload significantly compromises salivary parameters, creating an acidogenic oral environment that promotes dental caries development in β-thalassemia major patients, emphasizing the need for integrated oral health monitoring in thalassemia management protocols.

Abstract

Background: Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is a natural substance known to reduce dental plaque formation due to its content of bioactive compounds, including saponins, tannins, alkaloids, steroids, and triterpenoids. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of strawberry fruit extract, prepared using 70% ethanol as a solvent through maceration to produce a concentrated liquid extract, against Streptococcus sanguinis—a bacterium associated with plaque formation.Method: The study employed microdilution and agar dilution methods. Antibacterial activity was assessed through the determination of the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), indicated by a marked decrease in optical density, and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC), determined by the absence of bacterial colony growth.Outcome: Results showed that the MIC of the strawberry extract against S. sanguinis was 6.25%, while the MBC was 50%.Conclusion: These findings indicate that strawberry extract (Fragaria × ananassa) exhibits both inhibitory and bactericidal activity against the growth of Streptococcus sanguinis.

Abstract

Background: Tooth extraction, a frequently performed dental procedure, typically culminates in hemostasis within several hours post-operatively. Hypertensive individuals exhibit a propensity for protracted bleeding following surgical interventions. This investigation seeks to assess prolonged bleeding after dental extraction in hypertensive patients. The study aims to determine whether elevated blood pressure is the sole etiological factor in prolonged bleeding or if other confounding variables are implicated. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted at Wates Public Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from October 2024 to February 2025. Consecutive sampling was used in this study. All research subjects were patients at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic of the RSUD Wates who underwent closed-method extraction using local anesthesia. Patients were separated into two groups, normal and hypertension. Seventy-four patients have been involved in this research, based on inclusive and exclusive criteria. Confounding factors which could influenced blood pressure were controlled statistically.Outcome: Findings indicate that increased mean arterial pressure may extend bleeding time after extraction (p < .001). Conclusion: Elevated mean arterial pressure may prolong bleeding following tooth extraction. Furthermore, several confounding factors, including patients’ pharmacotherapy, localized inflammation resulting from periodontal disease in hypertensive individuals, and adverse patient behaviors after extraction, should be taken into consideration.
