Abstract

Background: Patient satisfaction refers to the degree of positive feelings experienced by patients as a result of the healthcare services received, particularly when these services meet or exceed their expectations. Assessing patient satisfaction is essential for evaluating the quality of healthcare services, including dental and oral care. Objective: This study aimed to assess the level of patient satisfaction with dental and oral health services at Universitas Syiah Kuala Dental Hospital. Methods: A descriptive study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from September to October 2024. A total of 100 patients who had completed treatment at Universitas Syiah Kuala Dental Hospital were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire based on five dimensions of service quality: responsiveness, tangibles, reliability, assurance, and empathy. Results: The results showed a high level of patient satisfaction across all dimensions: responsiveness (97%), tangibles (88%), reliability (99%), assurance (98%), and empathy (99%). Conclusion: The overall level of patient satisfaction with dental and oral health services at Universitas Syiah Kuala Dental Hospital was found to be high, indicating that the hospital provides quality services aligned with patient expectations.

Abstract

Background: Prolonged airway obstruction during facial growth can influence the development of craniofacial structures. Conversely, craniofacial deformities may contribute to reduced airway dimensions. Understanding the relationship between craniofacial morphology and pharyngeal airway space is essential, particularly in individuals with altered breathing patterns such as mouth breathing. Objective: This study aimed to determine the differences and relationships between craniofacial structures and pharyngeal airway dimensions in patients with mouth breathing compared to those with normal nasal breathing. Methods: This study employed a descriptive-analytic research design. A total of 20 lateral cephalograms were analyzed10 from patients with normal breathing and 10 from mouth-breathing patients, all presenting with skeletal class II malocclusion. Landmarks were identified manually, and measurements were carried out using the CorelDRAW application. The Unpaired T-test was used to assess differences between groups. The Pearson correlation test was used to examine the relationship between craniofacial structures and airway dimensions in the mouth-breathing group. Results: Significant differences were found in mandibular structure and the oropharyngeal U-MPW plane angle (p 0.05) between mouth breathers and nasal breathers. However, no statistically significant correlation was observed between craniofacial measurements and pharyngeal airway dimensions within the mouth-breathing group. Conclusion: This study concludes that increased anteroposterior skeletal measurements and vertical facial height are not significantly associated with narrowing of pharyngeal airway dimensions in mouth-breathing patients. Further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to explore this relationship more comprehensively.

Abstract

Background: Aging is a natural physiological process characterized by a decline in physical, cognitive, and psychomotor functions. These changes can lead to a weakened immune system, making the elderly more vulnerable to various diseases, including osteoporosis, a degenerative condition commonly associated with aging and influenced by multiple factors. Additionally, aging affects oral function, leading to difficulties with mastication and a reduction in nutritional intake. Oral and dental health play a crucial role in maintaining overall health, and inadequate oral care can harm systemic health. Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of elderly individuals with symptoms of osteoporosis and oral health complaints in Central Jakarta. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured questionnaire administered to 35 elderly respondents. The collected data were statistically analyzed and presented in the form of a frequency distribution table. Results: The findings revealed that 15% of the respondents exhibited symptoms of osteoporosis. Additionally, 13% of the elderly experienced oral health complaints that coincided with the symptoms of osteoporosis. Conclusion: The study highlights a notable prevalence of osteoporosis symptoms and associated oral health complaints among the elderly in Central Jakarta. These findings underscore the importance of developing integrated health strategies that address both systemic and oral health needs in the elderly population.

Abstract

Background: Pseudo Class III malocclusion is characterized by an anterior crossbite with functional forward mandibular displacement. This malocclusion can prevent maxillary sagittal development, and if not intervened upon promptly, can develop into a skeletal class III malocclusion. Therefore, it is essential to avoid this malocclusion as early as possible. Case Report: A 9-year-old male child presented with the chief complaint of prominent lower teeth. Intra-oral examination showed crossbite anterior, presence of crowding, and malposition 21,22. Right molar relation class 1 and left class III, maxillary space discrepancy 6.4 mm, skeletal Class I, patient in growth and development period. Treatment was performed using a functional appliance, a reverse twin block, with additional bilateral expansion on the maxilla and a Z-spring on teeth 21 and 22. Conclusion: Management of pseudo-class III in growing children with reverse twin block has shown success in correcting the crossbite anterior, tooth malposition, and increasing the maxillary arch width.
