Abstract

Pregnancy gingivitis is a common condition characterized by gum inflammation, swelling, and bleeding. Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy can increase susceptibility to dental infections, particularly in teeth and gums. Factors such as hormonal fluctuations, morning sickness, dietary changes, heightened gum sensitivity, and decreased dental care practices can contribute to this issue. Although hormonal changes do not directly cause dental infections, they can heighten the susceptibility to gum issues and potentially exacerbate the progression of dental infections. This review provides a comprehensive description of pregnancy gingivitis and its contributing factors. The literature search process was carried out on various databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar) regarding gingivitis and hormonal changes in pregnancy. The search was performed using the terms: (1) "gingivitis" OR "gingivitis pregnancy" OR "gingival inflammation” AND (2) "pregnancy". Within the scope of the review, a total of three quantitative studies were incorporated. In summary, gingivitis during pregnancy is a condition characterized by hormonal fluctuations, particularly heightened levels of estrogen and progesterone. These fluctuations can affect gum health, leading to heightened blood circulation, sensitivity to plaque formation, and changes in gum size and shape.

Abstract

Introduction: Accurate and efficient dental implant placement is crucial for successful treatment outcomes. Traditional implant placement techniques rely on 2D imaging and freehand surgery, which can be associated with inaccuracies and prolonged surgical time. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of 3D printing technology, specifically the use of patient-specific surgical guides, on the accuracy and efficiency of dental implant placement in Semarang, Indonesia. Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 60 patients requiring a single dental implant in the posterior mandible. Participants were randomly assigned to either the control group (conventional freehand implant placement) or the experimental group (3D printed surgical guide-assisted implant placement). Primary outcome measures were implant placement accuracy (deviation from planned implant position) and surgical time. Secondary outcomes included postoperative pain, swelling, and patient satisfaction. Results: The use of 3D printed surgical guides significantly improved implant placement accuracy in all three dimensions (mesiodistal, buccolingual, and apicocoronal) compared to the freehand technique (p<0.001). Surgical time was also significantly reduced in the experimental group (p=0.02). There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of postoperative pain, swelling, or patient satisfaction. Conclusion: 3D printing technology significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of dental implant placement. The use of patient-specific surgical guides resulted in more precise implant positioning and reduced surgical time, contributing to improved treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Numerous scientific investigations have been undertaken to assess the efficacy of standard root canal preparation methods and the crown-down procedure in mitigating the ejection of apical debris. The aforementioned research examines multiple facets, encompassing the efficacy of canal cleaning, the potential for debris extrusion, and their influence on the outcome of root canal therapy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of conventional and crown-down root canal preparation methods in relation to the extrusion of apical debris. The literature search used a lot of different databases, like PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar, to look into how well traditional and crown-down root canal preparation methods work for getting debris out of the root canal. Traditional methods of root canal preparation have been extensively employed in the field of endodontics. While root canal cleaning and shaping techniques have demonstrated efficacy, there is still a potential danger of apical debris extrusion. Several factors contribute to the level of risk involved in dental procedures. These factors encompass the use of instruments, the amount of pressure applied during preparation, the effectiveness of irrigation, and the level of experience possessed by the dentist. In conclusion, the efficacy of both methodologies is contingent upon various aspects, including the level of expertise possessed by the dentist, the specific instruments employed, the irrigation technique employed, and the thoroughness of the case examination. The particulars of each case and the dentist's personal preference should guide the choice of either procedure.

Abstract

Introduction: Digital smile design (DSD) is revolutionizing esthetic dentistry by offering a patient-centric approach to treatment planning and execution. This study aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction and long-term outcomes of DSD in a cohort of patients in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 75 patients who underwent DSD-guided esthetic treatments between 2020 and 2023 at a private dental clinic in Jakarta. Patient satisfaction was assessed using a validated questionnaire, and long-term outcomes (functionality, stability, and esthetics) were evaluated through clinical examinations and photographic records at 6, 12, and 24 months post-treatment. Results: High levels of patient satisfaction were reported across all treatment aspects, including communication, predictability, and esthetic outcomes. The majority of patients (92%) expressed satisfaction with their smiles' appearance, and 88% reported improved self-confidence. Clinical evaluations demonstrated excellent long-term stability and functionality of the restorations. Minor complications, such as chipping of veneer material, were observed in 5% of patients. Conclusion: DSD significantly enhances patient satisfaction and achieves predictable long-term outcomes in esthetic dentistry. This technology empowers patients to actively participate in their treatment journey, leading to increased satisfaction and improved self-perception.

Abstract

Introduction: Clear aligner therapy (CAT) has gained popularity as an esthetic alternative to traditional braces. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into CAT treatment planning, promising improved accuracy and efficiency. This study aimed to compare the accuracy and efficiency of AI-driven treatment planning with conventional methods in Bandung, Indonesia. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 100 patients treated with CAT in Bandung. Fifty patients were treated using conventional methods (CM) by experienced orthodontists, while the other 50 were planned with AI-driven software. Accuracy was assessed by comparing the planned tooth movement with the actual outcome using Little's Irregularity Index (LII) and Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) scores at the end of treatment. Efficiency was evaluated by comparing the time required for treatment planning and the number of refinements needed. Results: The AI-driven group demonstrated significantly lower LII scores (p<0.05) and higher PAR scores (p<0.05) compared to the CM group, indicating greater accuracy in achieving the planned tooth movement. Additionally, the AI-driven group showed a significant reduction in treatment planning time (p<0.05) and fewer refinement aligners required (p<0.05) compared to the CM group. Conclusion: AI-driven treatment planning in CAT demonstrated superior accuracy and efficiency compared to conventional methods in Bandung, Indonesia. AI has the potential to optimize treatment outcomes and reduce treatment time, offering a valuable tool for orthodontists.

Abstract

The acetylation process using acetic anhydride entails substituting a hydroxyl group (OH) on p-aminophenol with an acetyl group (-COCH3), resulting in the synthesis of paracetamol. In addition to acetic anhydride, this reaction necessitates the presence of a catalyst that enhances the reaction rate for improved efficiency. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the process of synthesizing paracetamol through the acetylation of p-aminophenol using acetic anhydride. The literature search was conducted using multiple databases, including PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar, to explore the synthesis of paracetamol through the acetylation of p-aminophenol using acetic anhydride. A sulfuric acid catalyst is often used to mix p-aminophenol with acetic anhydride in the process of making paracetamol. This approach is commonly employed in the synthesis of paracetamol. Colorimetric analysis, employing FeCl3 solution, is a widely utilized method in analytical chemistry for the identification of specific compounds. This approach relies on the observation and interpretation of color changes that occur during the reaction. The Rf value of 0.88, which is identical to that of pure paracetamol, confirms that the combination of p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride produces the most effective acetylation process with a yield of 59.5% and a high level of purity. The resulting product exhibits a melting point range of 169–170°C and an infrared spectrum that is indistinguishable from that of pure paracetamol.

Abstract

Oral bad habits refer to external sources, such as nail biting, item biting (e.g., pencils and pens), finger sucking, cheek sucking, and mouth breathing. The act of inhaling and exhaling through the mouth is the predominant behavior that frequently leads to irregularities in the facial composition and misalignment of the teeth. Mouth breathing during the growth and development phase can impact dentocraniofacial growth. Persistent mouth breathing results in muscular anomalies in the vicinity of the mouth, perhaps resulting in malocclusion. The purpose of this review is to delineate detrimental oral behaviors in children and elucidate their repercussions on oral health and dental development.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental anxiety is a common problem among children, and it can have a significant impact on their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). This longitudinal study aimed to investigate the impact of dental anxiety on OHRQoL in children in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: A cohort of 200 children aged 6-12 years was recruited from six elementary schools in Jakarta. Dental anxiety was assessed using the Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. OHRQoL was measured using the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14) at the same time points. Sociodemographic data and oral health status were also collected. Linear mixed models were used to assess the association between dental anxiety and OHRQoL over time, adjusting for potential confounders. Results: Dental anxiety was significantly associated with lower OHRQoL scores at all time points. Children with higher dental anxiety scores reported more problems with oral symptoms, functional limitations, emotional well-being, and social well-being. This association persisted even after adjusting for age, gender, socioeconomic status, and oral health status. Conclusion: Dental anxiety has a significant negative impact on OHRQoL in children. Early identification and management of dental anxiety are crucial to improve children's oral health and overall well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: Endodontically treated teeth are more susceptible to fracture due to the loss of tooth structure and moisture. Full-coverage crowns are often used to restore these teeth and enhance their fracture resistance. However, the influence of different preparation designs on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth remains a topic of investigation. This study aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with full-coverage crowns with different preparation designs in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: Forty extracted human premolars were endodontically treated and divided into four groups (n=10): Group 1: Butt-joint margin with a 1 mm chamfer finish line; Group 2: Shoulder margin with a 1.5 mm chamfer finish line; Group 3: Deep chamfer margin with a 2 mm chamfer finish line; and Group 4: Shoulder margin with a rounded shoulder finish line. All teeth were prepared for full-coverage crowns and restored with standardized metal-ceramic crowns. A universal testing machine was used to apply compressive load to the teeth until fracture. The fracture resistance values were recorded in Newtons (N) and analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test (α=0.05). Results: The mean fracture resistance values (N) were as follows: Group 1 (1250 ± 150), Group 2 (1480 ± 180), Group 3 (1180 ± 130), and Group 4 (1550 ± 200). One-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in fracture resistance among the groups (p<0.05). Tukey's post-hoc test indicated that Group 4 exhibited significantly higher fracture resistance than Group 1 and Group 3 (p<0.05). Group 2 also demonstrated significantly higher fracture resistance than Group 3 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the shoulder margin with a rounded shoulder finish line provided the highest fracture resistance for endodontically treated teeth restored with full-coverage crowns. The butt-joint margin and deep chamfer margin preparations exhibited lower fracture resistance.
