Abstract

Abstract Introduction: School-age children have a high risk of tooth decay because they often consume foods and drinks that can damage teeth. This is caused by a lack of understanding of how to maintain oral health, so health promotion is needed with interesting methods, one of which is through snakes and ladders games. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of snakes and ladders game on increasing knowledge about oral health in students of Al-Jannah Islamic Elementary School, Indramayu Regency. Material and Method: This study used a pre-experimental design with the One Group Pre-Test and Post-Test method. The research sample was selected using simple random sampling technique based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, with a total of 59 children. Activities were carried out in one meeting and data were collected through pre-test and post-test. Results: The results showed a significant difference (p<0.05) between the data before and after counseling using snakes and ladders game, which means that snakes and ladders game has an influence on increasing students' knowledge about oral health. Conclusion: Health counseling through snakes and ladders game proved to be effective in increasing understanding of oral health in students of Al-Jannah Islamic Elementary School, Indramayu Regency.

Abstract

Every year, the fields of medicine and dentistry in Indonesia require more dental skills to provide excellent service and improve the quality of care. Oral health in children often shows suboptimal conditions, with a lot of plaque and other deposits on their teeth. According to the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI), half of the population over 3 years old complains about dental problems, with South Sulawesi having the second-highest rate at 68.4%. Of the 56.9% of people experiencing dental problems, only 11.2% visit a dentist. Between the ages of 8 and 12, dental changes require more intensive care, with a child’s motivation and support from their environment influencing their oral hygiene. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the frequency of dental visits and the oral health status of elementary school children in the working area of Mamajang Health Center, Makassar City. It was an analytical observational study with a sample of 120 elementary school students in the Mamajang Health Center area. Data were collected through questionnaires and intraoral examinations using the OHI-S index. Of the students, 69.2% had low dental visit frequency, and 31.7% had good oral hygiene status. No significant relationship was found between the frequency of dental visits and oral hygiene status (P-Value > 0.05). The frequency of dental visits does not significantly affect the oral hygiene status of elementary school students.

Abstract

Introduction: Craniofacial inflammatory conditions, such as temporomandibular joint disorders and periodontitis, are often linked to heightened anxiety-like responses. Emerging evidence suggests that nutritional strategies may serve as effective, non-pharmacological approaches to mitigate anxiety under such conditions. Objective: To systematically review the evidence on the anxiolytic effects of dietary strategies, such as omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, probiotics, and curcumin, in individuals or animal models experiencing craniofacial inflammatory conditions. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched for studies published up to January 2025. Studies were included if they evaluated the impact of nutritional interventions on anxiety outcomes in populations with craniofacial inflammation. Relevant data on the study population, interventions, and outcomes were extracted and summarized. Review/Discussion: Five studies were included, comprising human and animal research. Omega-3 fatty acids and magnesium supplementation were associated with reduced anxiety scores and inflammatory markers. Probiotics showed improvement in psychological symptoms and systemic inflammation. Curcumin demonstrated anxiolytic effects by reducing oxidative stress, with combined omega-3 and curcumin showing synergistic benefits. Despite promising results, significant variability in methodologies and outcome measures limits the generalizability of findings. Conclusion: Nutritional strategies hold promise for reducing anxiety in craniofacial inflammatory conditions. Further research with standardized protocols is needed to validate these findings and inform clinical applications.

Abstract

Introduction: Toothbrushing is a fundamental daily practice for plaque removal. Dental plaque is a complex microbial biofilm that serves as a primary etiological factor for caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. While manual toothbrushes (MTB) are widely used and considered effective, powered toothbrushes (PTB) are found to be a better alternative with numerous clinical trials proving their efficacy. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of PTB compared to MTB in reducing plaque and gingivitis based on existing literature. Methods: A systematic search was conducted to obtain clinical trials that compares plaque and gingivitis reduction with PTB and MTB usage across all age groups, using three databases - Pubmed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. Discussion: 18 studies (69%) fully supported the hypothesis that PTB caused significantly greater reduction in plaque and gingivitis than MTB. However, seven studies (27%) found no significant differences between the two types, while one study (4%) partially supported the hypothesis, where it found PTB to be superior for plaque reduction but not for gingivitis. Overall, PTB were superior in reducing plaque and gingivitis, particularly in general populations. However, the benefits were less consistent in specific populations, such as orthodontic patients and individuals with special needs. Both oscillating-rotating and sonic PTB were comparable in their effectiveness. Conclusion: PTB are more effective than manual toothbrushes for improving plaque and gingival health in most populations. Further research is needed to address specific populations and optimise oral hygiene strategies tailored to their needs.

Abstract

Introduction: Bones are the primary structural components of the human body that have the ability to grow and develop. Loss of bone mass increases the risk of bone health disorders such as osteopenia and osteoporosis. One method for diagnosing osteoporosis is through panoramic radiography using radiometric measurements such as the Antegonial Index (AI). The measurement of the Antegonial Index can be conducted using the SmarTimu application. Objective: This study aimed to compare the Antegonial Index values between males and females. Methods: This research employed a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling, using panoramic radiographs from RSIGMP Universitas Muslim Indonesia that meet the inclusion criteria. Results: The right-side Antegonial Index in males was found to be 2.973, while the left-side index was 2.964. In females, the right-side Antegonial Index was 3.300, and the left-side index was 3.264. Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the Antegonial Index values between males and females based on panoramic radiography.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia's vast marine waters provide a diverse range of fish species, one of which is skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis). The fish processing industry generates various types of waste, including fish bones, which contain high calcium levels and can produce 60–70% hydroxyapatite, commonly used for dental remineralization. One method for synthesizing hydroxyapatite is the precipitation method, which can be analyzed using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) to determine the characterization of hydroxyapatite from skipjack tuna bones. Objective: To characterize hydroxyapatite from skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) bones using X-Ray Fluorescence analysis with the precipitation method. Materials and Methods: This study employed a laboratory experimental design. The primary material used was skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) bone waste, processed using the precipitation method for 7 hours, followed by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis. Results: Based on X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis, the precipitation method revealed that skipjack tuna bones contained 57.98% calcium and 38.78% phosphorus. Conclusion: This study confirms that skipjack tuna bones contain calcium and phosphorus, making them a potential raw material for hydroxyapatite synthesis.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia's marine resources consist of 37% of the world's fish species, one of which is skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) which is found in almost all Indonesian waters. The strength of the skipjack tuna fishing industry is a commodity with quite high value. Skipjack tuna is one of the most traded fish, where the meat is processed as a food source while the bones of skipjack tuna are often not utilized so that they can pollute the environment which can harm the health of the surrounding community. Fish bones can produce hydroxyapatite around 60-70% which is used for the tooth remineralization process. The method for producing hydroxyapatite is precipitation then analyzed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) on hydroxyapatite which serves to determine the phase, crystal structure, lattice parameters, particle size. Objective : To determine the characterization of hydroxyapatite produced from skipjack tuna bones (Katsuwonus pelamis) by analysis (XRD). Materials and Methods : The type of research conducted is an experimental laboratory. The main material is skipjack tuna bone waste (Katsuwonus pelamis) with a precipitation method within a calcination period of 7 hours then the results were analyzed using (XRD). Results : The degree of crystallinity produced from skipjack tuna bone (Katsuwonus pelamis) based on the results of the XRD test was 50.16% and the average crystal size was 211 nm and the phase, crystal form were trigonal and hexagonal. Conclusion : Hydroxyapatite produced from skipjack tuna bone waste (Katsuwonus pelamis) through the precipitation and calcination method for 7 hours had a degree of crystallinity of 50.16%, an average crystal size of 211 nm, and showed a phase with trigonal and hexagonal crystal forms. These results indicate that skipjack tuna bone waste has the potential to be used as a source of hydroxyapatite for tooth remineralization applications and other biomaterial needs

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal disease, characterized by inflammation of the tissues surrounding the teeth (such as the gingiva, cementum, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament), is one of the most common problems. Periodontitis leads to the progressive destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. As the disease progresses, attachment loss around the affected teeth, eventually increased tooth mobility. One treatment for stabilizing tooth mobility is splinting. Case Report: 37-year-old male patient, complaining of mobility in his lower teeth with multiple diastema. Wire splinting was performed on the patient using 0.3- and 0.4-sized wires from teeth 33 to 43. Discussion: Teeth mobility can cause masticatory dysfunction. Splinting preserves mobile teeth and serving as periodontal support. Splinting should leave area around the gingiva clean to avoid plaque accumulation and easy maintenance. Conclusion: Splinting in this case report, enabling the teeth to function properly and provide easy maintenance. A follow-up examination is required six months to a year later to assess the improvement of the alveolar bone.

Abstract

Introduction: Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) developed in Indonesia for caries and periodontal risk assessment show diagnostic performance comparable to conventional practice. Objective: To synthesize reported diagnostic accuracy, comparative performance, and early implementation outcomes of Indonesian dental CDSS for caries and periodontal assessment. Methods: We summarized an evidence set identified from a large academic corpus and screened to include Indonesian dentistry studies that (i) developed/validated a CDSS with Indonesian patient data, (ii) compared against conventional or expert assessment, and (iii) reported diagnostic accuracy or implementation outcomes. Data elements extracted included study design, CDSS type, validation approach, and quantitative outcomes (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, odds ratios, user acceptance). Discussion: Across caries detection, reported sensitivity ranged from 81.3% to 96.3% and specificity from 92% to 100%; accuracies spanned 82.7% to 100%. Methods included MobileNet-v3/U-net, Naive Bayes, Dempster–Shafer, fuzzy logic, case-based reasoning, and bespoke tools (e.g., SKOR GIGI; Pediatric Caries Predictor). Periodontal assessments reported accuracies of 90–96%, with an RCT noting higher odds of correct staging (OR 4.43, p=0.001) and grading (OR 30.30, p<0.001) versus conventional evaluation; an NLP (BERT) pipeline outperformed a multilayer perceptron for staging/grade classification. Early implementations (web-based tools, school screening) indicated improved detection/coverage, better oral-health indices, high parent awareness (96%), and user satisfaction (~88%). Conclusion: Within Indonesian settings, dental CDSS can match or exceed conventional diagnostic accuracy and support treatment recommendations, though generalizability is limited by small samples, incomplete reporting, and scarce pragmatic evaluations.
