Abstract

Background: Pinostrobin compounds from extracts of Boesenbergia rotunda have broad spectrum for bacteriostatic activity. The nanoemulgel preparation was chosen because it can penetrate well and quickly into the mucosa thereby increasing absorption. Physical stability tests need to be carried out to ensure the quality, safety and benefits of the gel meet the expected specifications and stability during storage. This study aims to determine which concentration has the most stable physical stability of pH and viscosity which were observed for 28 days.Method: 30 samples nanoemulgel preparation was used and then divided into 3 groups 45%, 67.5%, and 90%, Physical stability tests which is pH and viscosity tests was done for 28 days and stored in the Climatic Chamber with observation for every seven days. Data analysis used the One Way Repeated Measure Anova test followed by post hoc test was carried out. Result: The results showed most stable preparation was 45% and the least stable was 90% concentration. The mean values of the pH test 45% and 90% at baseline were 4.43 and 4.46 and at H+28 the values were 4.49 and 4.56. The average value of the viscosity test 45% and 90% at baseline was 1550 and 1210 and the values were 1600 and 1240 at h+28. Post hoc Wilcoxon test results for 45% concentration were p>0.05, indicating that there was no difference in pH and viscosity. It means pH value and viscosity of the 45% concentration were relatively constant from baseline to H+28.Conclusion: In conclusion, the results pH test and viscosity test of nanoemulgel preparations that were observed for 28 days showed that most stable preparation was concentration of 45%.

Abstract

Background: Cephalometry was a radiographic analysis used in orthodontic treatment to study dentofacial growth, diagnosis, treatment planning, and evaluation of treatment outcomes. Cephalometry was divided into two, conventional method cephalometry and Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is an artificial intelligence technology that was used for chatbots, diagnostic aids, and electronic medical records. The purpose of this review was to analyze the cephalometry of orthodontic treatment using AI deep learning compared to conventional methods in the Caucasoid race. Method: The data collection method used is the PICO method by browsing the PUBMED, Science Direct, and Google Scholar electronic databases. The keywords used are Cephalometric Orthodontics AND Artificial Intelligence OR Digital AND Conventional AND Comparison. Result: The results of this review found significant differences between conventional methods and AI methods. AI in terms of time was able to outperform conventional methods with a speed of up to 13x. AI also excels in terms of efficiency because it saves manpower. Aspects of reliability, angular and linear measurements, and the value of AI had capabilities that were equivalent to humans and even more so that they can be recommended for use in dental practice. AI suffers from a shortage in terms of cost because the preparation of AI into software requires a large amount of cost compared to conventional methods, which were more affordable. Conclusion: The conclusion of this literature review was that the AI method more superior in terms of time, reliability, value, angle measurement, and liner, as well as efficiency, but had drawbacks in terms of cost.

Abstract

Background: The success of bonding quartz fiber posts to root dentin hinges on various factors, including the bonding system. This experimental study aimed to investigate pull-out bond strength (PBS) of quartz fiber post toward root denting using different adhesive systems.Method: Thirty six human teeth (n=12) were embedded in acrylic resin blocks. Crowns were sectioned, leaving the root portion 20mm in length. Root canals were treated with standard endodontic protocols using the rotary instrument, obturated with gutta percha, and prepared for post cementation, leaving a 4mm apical seal. Root canals were prepared uniformly. After simple randomization, samples were divided into three groups according to the adhesive systems (Allcem core dual resin, NOVA resin self-adhesive, and GC FUJI Luting & Lining). Cementation procedures followed to manufacturer instructions. Post cementation was tested for PBS using a Universal Testing Machine (TN20 MD) until the posts were detached. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U post hoc test (α=0.05)Result: The Kruskal-Wallis test indicated significant differences among the groups (P < 0.001), with GC FUJI Luting & Lining showing the significantly lowest PBS.Conclusion: Different cementation materials exhibit varying bond strengths. GC FUJI Luting & Lining provided inferior bond strength, making it the least recommended choice for bonding quartz fiber posts to root dentin.

Abstract

Background: Oral candidiasis is an infection in the oral cavity caused by Candida tropicalis, a non-Candida albicans (NCAC) species with the highest virulence. The first-line treatment for oral candidiasis is nystatin; however, it may cause side effects. One alternative treatment for oral candidiasis is the use of Ficus septica Burm. F. leaves, which contain active compounds such as saponins, tannins, flavonoids, and triterpenoids, all of which have potential antifungal properties. This study aims to evaluate the antifungal activity ethanol extract of awar-awar leaves to Candida tropicalis as the cause of Oral Candidiasis in vitro. Method: This experimental laboratory study used a posttest-only control group design, comparing the treatment groups with ethanol extract of Ficus septica burm. F leaves at concentrations of 4%, 8%, 16%, and 32% with a positive control group (nystatin) and a negative control group (Dimethyl sulfoxide). Antifungal activity was tested using the microdilution broth method to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and the spread plate method to determine the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC). Colony growth of C. tropicalis was measured using the Total Plate Count (TPC) method, followed by calculating the inhibition percentage. Result: The analysis of this study showed that the MIC of Ficus septica Burm F leaf extract was at a concentration of 32%, and the MBC of the extract was also at a concentration of 32%, with a 100% inhibition percentage. Significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) were found between the concentrations of the ethanol extract of Ficus septica leaves.Conclussion: The conclusion of this study is that the ethanol extract of Ficus septica Burm. F leaves has antifungal activity in inhibiting the growth of C. tropicalis, the cause of oral candidiasis, with the most effective concentration being 32% with 100% inhibition.

Abstract

Backgrounds: Restoring damaged or diseased bone is a major challenge in dentistry. Marine biota, such as seashells, crustacean shells, and fish bones, are rich in calcium and can be processed into safe, biodegradable materials that support bone healing. These natural sources are gaining attention for use as bone graft substitutes because they are biocompatible, widely available, and promote bone growth. Purpose: This review aims to discuss and analyze the potential of marine biota as bone graft materials rich in calcium hydroxyapatite for use in bone regeneration, with a particular focus on their clinical relevance in dentistry. Methods: A scoping review was conducted using Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases to identify relevant studies published between 2015 and 2025. Results: An initial total of 134.007 articles were identified across the three databases. After removing duplicates and screening based on title and abstract relevance to the inclusion criteria, 2.836 articles remained. A further selection process narrowed these down to 452 full-text articles, of which 433 were excluded due to incompatibility with the review focus. Finally, 19 studies were included in this review and analyzed for their methodology, findings, and clinical implications. Discussion: Many studies have shown that marine biota can be used as effective bone graft materials. Their high calcium content, porous structure, and compatibility with body tissues help support cell attachment, growth, and new bone formation. These materials can be used in dental procedures to help regenerate bone and repair defects. Conclusion: Marine-derived materials, especially from mollusks and crustaceans, are similar to human bone and show great potential as alternatives to synthetic bone grafts. Their natural properties and ability to support bone healing make them a promising, sustainable option for dental and oral bone repair.

Abstract

Background: Mumps is an acute infectious disease caused by the paramyxovirus, commonly found in many countries. In 2024, mumps outbreaks were reported globally, with significant cases in India (18,158), the USA (328), the Netherlands (578), and Indonesia (413). The current treatment guidelines for mumps are paracetamol or ibuprofen for pain relief. Purpose: To describe clinical profiles and outcomes of mumps patients treated with methisoprinol in a single-center cross-sectional study. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study of mumps patients treated with methisoprinol was conducted at the Islamic Dental Hospital Sultan Agung, Semarang, using retrospective data from August to December 2024. Mumps was defined by the WHO's clinical definition of parotid gland swelling. Results: Among 35 mumps patients, there was an almost equal gender distribution, with most being under 18. The majority had a history of febrile illness, used symptomatic medication, and lacked MMR vaccination history. There was a significant difference in the duration of parotitis before and after methisoprinol medication. Factors like sex, age, parotitis location, and MMR vaccination history did not significantly affect recovery time. Conclusion: Methisoprinol significantly reduced the duration of parotitis, while sex, age, parotitis location, and MMR vaccination history did not significantly influence recovery time.
