Abstract

Background: Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) bone waste in South Sulawesi has high potential as a natural hydroxyapatite (HA) source due to its calcium–phosphate content. However, the effect of precipitation duration on HA yield and phase composition remains unclear. Research Objective: To evaluate the effect of precipitation time (12, 24, 36, and 48 hours) on hydroxyapatite yield and phase composition from skipjack tuna bone. Methods: Experimental laboratory study using precipitation method. Bone-derived CaO was reacted with 0.6 M H₃PO₄ under controlled pH using NaOH 1 M. The precipitate was aged for 12–48 hours, dried, calcined, and weighed to determine yield. Phase composition was analyzed using XRD. Results: The highest yield was obtained at 24 hours (97.807%). Longer durations (36 and 48 hours) reduced yield. XRD showed Whitlockite dominance at 12 hours (84.5%), increased Hydroxyapatite at 24 hours (46.1%), Whitlockite re-dominance at 36 hours (50.4%), and Fluorapatite dominance at 48 hours (49.7%). Conclusion: A 24-hour precipitation time produced the highest HA yield with balanced phase composition. Prolonged precipitation altered mineral phases and reduced efficiency.

Abstract

Introduction: More than 75% of tooth fracture cases occur in the maxillary area, and nearly half of these involve the incisors. Fractures in these teeth not only impair function but also significantly affect the patient’s aesthetics. In restoring the shape and function of the central incisors, there is a high demand for both precision and aesthetics. One approach that can be used is the palatal putty index technique. The aim of this case report is to discuss Class IV direct composite restoration treatment on teeth 11 and 21 using a putty index to achieve optimal anatomical form, which is often difficult to accomplish with a free-hand placement technique. Case Report: An 18-year-old male patient came to the conservative dentistry clinic at RSGM Unpad with a complaint of fractured upper front teeth due to physical trauma during a concert. Examination revealed fractures on teeth 11 and 21 extending to the dentin. Treatment was performed using Class IV direct composite restoration with the aid of a putty index. The procedure included tooth preparation, impression taking, wax-up fabrication on a working model, and the creation of a putty index to guide the restoration. Discussion: The putty index allows the operator to form restorations that are precise, aesthetic, minimally invasive, and cost-effective. This technique is especially beneficial in cases of significant anterior tooth structure loss, particularly when the palatal structure, contour, and tooth shape are compromised. Conclusion: The use of a putty index has proven effective in achieving precise and aesthetic tooth contours in a minimally invasive manner, especially in cases with considerable structural loss.

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral health problems with significant global prevalence. Periapical radiography is used as the primary tool for diagnosing alveolar bone loss in periodontal disease. In the digital era, software such as smarTimu and ImageJ offer innovative methods for accurately determining the grade of bone loss. Objective: This study aims to compare the accuracy of smarTimu and ImageJ applications in determining the grade of bone loss based on periapical radiograph analysis. Materials and Methods: This study used an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design with a sample of internship students at the RSIGMP FKG Universitas Muslim Indonesia who met the inclusion criteria. Periapical radiographic data were analyzed using smarTimu and ImageJ. Measurement accuracy was compared with the gold standard. Results: The Mann-Whitney test showed a p-value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, indicating a significant difference in the measurement grades between the smarTimu and ImageJ applications. Conclusion: There is a comparison of the accuracy of the smarTimu application with ImageJ in determining bone loss grades based on periapical radiographs.

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontitis progressively destroys tooth-supporting tissues. Conventional oral therapies often cause systemic side effects and fail to reach therapeutic levels in periodontal pockets. Doxycycline, studied for its local antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, was used here as a 0.1% gargle. Case report: A 58-year-old woman presented with upper left tooth mobility, chewing pain, discomfort, and bleeding on brushing. Treatment included education, scaling/root planing, splinting, and twice-daily 0.1% doxycycline gargle post-brushing. After 2 months, gingival consistency had firmed, color had normalized, tooth mobility had reduced, and pocket depths had decreased. Discussion: Doxycycline inhibits subgingival pathogens and binds to dentin for sustained bacteriostatic action. It also suppresses collagenases (MMPs) from neutrophils and bacteria. Conclusion: In this case, 0.1% doxycycline gargle reduced gingival inflammation and improved clinical parameters as initial therapy before surgery, suggesting potential as a low-cost adjunct.

Abstract

Introduction : In the modern era, dental esthetics has become an important consideration, particularly in cases of gummy smile, which may significantly reduce a patient’s self-confidence. A gummy smile is defined as excessive gingival display of more than 3 mm in the vertical dimension of the maxillary anterior region during smiling. The etiology of gummy smile is multifactorial and may include hyperactivity of the upper lip elevator muscles, vertical maxillary excess, and delayed passive eruption. Case Report: A 32-year-old woman presented with the chief complaint of excessive gingival display during smiling and dissatisfaction with poorly fabricated veneers, which negatively affected her confidence. She also reported halitosis following veneer placement performed at a non-clinical setting. Intraoral examination of the maxillary and mandibular anterior regions revealed poor-quality veneers, hyperemic and edematous gingival margins, and abnormal gingival texture. Discussion: A pleasant smile requires harmony among tooth shape, color, size, gingival health, and an appropriate amount of gingival display during smiling. This case report describes a surgical approach combining periodontal soft tissue reconstruction with smile elevator tissue containment for the correction of gummy smile. The technique aims to reduce excessive gingival display by limiting the excessive retraction of the smile elevator muscles. Conclusion: Periodontal soft tissue reconstruction in combination with smile elevator tissue containment represents an innovative surgical technique for the correction of gummy smile.

Abstract

Introduction: Gnatoschizis (alveolar cleft), is a developmental defect of the maxillary alveolar bone, occurring in up to 75% of patients with cleft lip and palate. This condition may impair mastication and cause persistent oronasal fistulas if it is left untreated. Gnatoplasty with bone grafting is a reliable procedure to restore alveolar continuity and oral function. This report describes the management of bilateral gnatoschizis with bilateral gnatoplasty and bone graft reconstruction. Case Report: A 25-year-old female presented with nasal fluid leakage during meals. Two small openings were foung in the upper labial mucosa, forming oronasal communications. OPG and 3D CT scan confirmed anterior maxillary defects directly communicating with the nasal cavity. The patient treated by bilateral gnatoplasty under general anesthesia. Closure of nasal and oral mucosa were performed to seal the fistulas. Bone grafting followed without membrane coverage using AmGraft® (freeze-dried dentin matrix, allograft) and Bonefill Ortho® (bovine hydroxyapatite, xenograft). Postoperative CBCT demonstrated well-positioned grafts completely filling the defects and patient reported no nasal leakage and regained normal mastication. Discussion: This case highlights the effectiveness of gnatoplasty with bone grafting performed without membranes. This approach simplifies the procedure while still achieving both anatomical repair and functional rehabilitation. Conclusion: Bilateral gnatoplasty with bone graft reconstruction is effective for closing oronasal communication and restoring oral function, without using membranes, making this approach practical for patients with residual cleft defects.
