Abstract

Background: Traumatic ulcers are a common oral lesioncharacterized by epithelial damage caused by trauma. They can healspontaneously within 7-10 days but may develop into chronic ulcers ifuntreated. Current treatments like hyaluronic acid gels are effective but costlyand can cause hypersensitivity reactions. This study aimed to analyze the effectof soybean extract (Glycine max (L.) Merill) formulated as a nanoemulgel onfibroblast proliferation during traumatic ulcer healing.Method: An in vivo study using male Wistar rats was conducted. Thirty ratswere divided into five groups: nanoemulgel soybean extract at concentrationsof 50%, 60%, and 70%, a positive control group (hyaluronic acid gel), and anegative control group (gel base). Treatments were applied daily for five days,after which fibroblast proliferation was evaluated histologically. Statisticalanalyses included Shapiro-Wilk, Levene's test, One-Way ANOVA, and Posthoc tests.Results: The 50% nanoemulgel soybean extract group showed the highestfibroblast count among treatment groups, indicating its potential in promotingulcer healing. However, hyaluronic acid gel outperformed other groups.Variability in nanoemulsion preparation likely influenced the fibroblast count.Conclusion: Nanoemulgel soybean extract demonstrates promising effects onfibroblast proliferation in traumatic ulcer healing, particularly at 50%concentration. Despite limitations in preparation, the results highlight itspotential as an alternative to conventional treatments. Further studies shouldoptimize the formulation and assess its toxicity.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major global health issue with a high prevalence and is often a risk factor for various cardiovascular complications such as coronary artery disease, stroke, and heart failure. Hypertensive patients who are uncontrolled or have other comorbidities tend to be more susceptible to hemodynamic changes during induction, maintenance, and recovery from anesthesia. Method: The materials and methods of this study were derived from various literatures regarding anesthesia in hypertensive patients. The literature was obtained from journals, sourced from Google Scholar. The articles were from the years 2021 to 2024. Result: Optimal blood pressure control before the procedure is crucial to prevent serious complications, such as stroke or myocardial infarction. During anesthesia induction, the choice of anesthetic agents must be tailored to the patient's condition to avoid excessive blood pressure reduction, and close monitoring should be performed throughout the procedure. After surgery, it is important to continue careful blood pressure management and ensure safe recovery to prevent long-term negative health impacts on hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Background: The management of anterior crossbite, especially in non-growing patients, is a challenging yet crucial aspect of orthodontic treatment. Anterior crossbite, if left untreated, can lead to significant functional and aesthetic issues, including abnormal dental wear, TMD, and compromised facial aesthetic. The correction of this type of malocclusion is essential to prevent long-term complications. In a non-growing patient, fixed orthodontic appliances have historically been the recommended treatment option for anterior crossbite. However, the use of orthodontic removable appliances has number of benefits, including patient comfort, ease of maintenance, and removability for oral hygiene purposes. This treatment modality is particularly advantageous for patients who seek a less invasive and more flexible approach to managing their dental condition.Case Report: The patient was a 24-year-old woman with a crossbite of the maxillary left permanent central and lateral incisors. Upper acrylic removable appliance, with an expansion jackscrew, was used to correct the crossbite. The total active treatment time was 2 months. In that 2-months period, the orthodontic treatment was not yet complete, but it was already showing good results.Discussion: The application of orthodontic removable appliance with expansion screw has shown promising results in addressing the challenge in anterior crossbite treatment. One of the primary benefits of using expansion screw in orthodontic removable appliance is its ability to apply gradual and controlled expansion forces. This allows for the realignment of teeth without causing undue stress on the periodontal ligaments and surrounding structure.Conclusion: The treatment of anterior crossbite in non-growing patients using orthodontic removable appliance presents a viable and effective alternative to fixed appliances. The positive outcomes observed in this case underscore the potential of orthodontic removable appliance to address similar malocclusions in non-growing patients.
