Abstract

A decline in patient visits, reduced satisfaction with hospital services, and the limited use of services by the UNSOED academic community highlight ongoing challenges in shaping the public image of RSGMP UNSOED. In response to these issues, the hospital introduced a mobile dental unit, an innovative outreach initiative that functions both as an extension of its services and as a representation of its commitment beyond the hospital walls. At the heart of building a positive image lies the quality of service delivered, which ultimately shapes how the hospital is perceived by the public. This study aimed to examine the correlation between the quality of mobile dental services and the brand image of RSGMP UNSOED. To achieve this objective, a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design and a total sampling technique was conducted involving 53 respondents who received services from the mobile dental unit between July and August 2024. Service quality was measured using the five SERVQUAL dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. Meanwhile, brand image was assessed through indicators of brand strength, brand favorability, and brand uniqueness. Data were collected through validated questionnaires and analyzed using chi-square tests, Fisher’s exact test, and multinomial regression. The analysis showed that all service quality dimensions had significant correlations with brand image, with p-values for tangibles (0,004), reliability (0,000), assurance (0,002), responsiveness (0,002), and empathy (0,000). Among these, empathy emerged as the most influential factor. In conclusion, there is a significant correlation between the quality of mobile dental services and the brand image of RSGMP UNSOED. Improving the quality of this service can play an essential role in strengthening the hospital’s public image.

Abstract

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs as a result of the immune system's response to bacterial infection of the gums and surrounding tissues. This condition is caused by chronic inflammation and increased levels of proinflammatory mediators associated with chronic infectious conditions. Periodontitis can trigger inflammation by increasing the level of interleukin-1 (IL-1), which plays a role in the inflammatory response. Aloe vera (Aloe vera) and manuka honey are known to have anti-inflammatory properties and inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1. Purpose of this research to determine the effect of Aloe Vera and Manuka Honey on IL-1 level in periodontitis rats..Method: 30 rats were randomly divided into four groups; control group, Aloe vera groups, Madu manuka group, combination of Aloe Vera and Manuka Honey group. Aloe vera and Manuka Honey were injected at doses 150 uL in the gingival. At the 5th day after treatment, all rats were terminated and Elisa from gingival tissue was performed to identify the level of IL-1.Result: The results a significant decrease of IL-1 in combination of manuka honey and Aloe Vera group(p<0.000) compared to control groupConclusion: The combination of Aloe Vera and manuka honey significantly decreased on IL-1 level.

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy gingivitis is known to affect high-risk pregnancies. Therefore, preventive treatments are necessary, one of them being use of  mouthwash. Citronella oil and lemon oil have been proven to have anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a nanoemulsion mouthwash combining citronella oil (Cymbopogon winterianus) and lemon oil (Citrus limon),  on macrophage counts in a pregnant rat model induced with gingivitis. Method: Female Sprague Dawley rats were confirmed to be pregnant, followed by ligation of both lower incisor teeth, and then mouthwash application. The rats were routinely fed a moist diet and drinking water containing 10% sucrose. Mouthwash application was performed twice daily (morning and evening) over 7 day. Histological evaluation was conducted by counting the number of macrophages in hematoxylin-eosin preparations. Result: The results showed a reduction in the number of macrophages with the administration of the nanoemulsion mouthwash combining citronella oil and lemon oil. The Mann -Whitney test revealed a significant difference compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The nanoemulsion mouthwash with 1% citronella oil and 2,77% lemon oil may help reduce the number of macrophages in pregnant rats with gingivitis.

Abstract

Background: Dental and oral health refers to the condition of the oral cavity and periodontal tissues being free from disease and pain. Optimal function of these structures indicates good oral health. Dental and oral health status can be expressed by the prevalence of dental caries and periodontal disease, assessed through indices such as def-t/DMF-T, OHI-S, and Gingival Index. This study aimed to determine the levels of def-t/DMF-T, OHI-S, and Gingival Index, and to describe the overall dental and oral health status among students with intellectual disabilities at Grobogan State Special SchoolMethod: This study employed a descriptive observational design with a non-experimental, cross-sectional approach to describe existing conditions through direct observation. A total of 52 students with intellectual disabilities were included using a total sampling technique.Result: DMF-T/def-t examination showed unsatisfactory findings, with the highest proportion of respondents categorized as very high (30.77%) and high (21.15%). The OHI-S examination indicated a moderate level, with most respondents (44.23%) falling within this category. The Gingival Index revealed generally good results, with the largest proportion categorized as normal (46.15%).Conclusion: Highest percentages of OHI-S and Gingival Index were found among students with moderate physical intellectual disabilities, while the highest def-t/DMF-T scores (very high category) were found among those with sensory intellectual disabilities

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory condition that progressively damages the tooth-supporting structures, including the alveolar bone and periodontal ligament. This process involves a rise in pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, which are essential agents in the inflammation and tissue destruction. Aloe vera (Aloe vera) and manuka honey are recognized for their ability to reduce inflammation and suppress the release of pro-inflammatory signaling molecules, such as IL-6. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of Aloe vera and Manuka honey in reducing IL-6 level in periodontitis rats.Method: Thirty rats were randomly assigned to four experimental groups: a control group, Aloe vera group, Manuka Honey group, and a group receiving a combination of Aloe vera and Manuka Honey. The Aloe vera and Manuka Honey treatments were administered via a gingival injection at a dose of 150 uL. After five days treatment, the rats were euthanized. An ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) was  conducted on the gingival tissue to measure the concentration of Interleukin-6 (IL-6).Result: The combination of Manuka honey and Aloe Vera significantly reduced IL-6 levels compared to the control group (p=0.000).Conclusion: The combination of Aloe Vera and manuka honey are effectively and  significantly reduced on IL-6 level.

Abstract

Background: The aesthetic treatment of maxillary central diastema due to differences in tooth and jaw size is an important component of orthodontic treatment. Tooth size and shape are crucial factors that affect the smile and face in treatment results. From an orthodontic perspective, evaluating the ideal mesiodistal width of teeth in relation to the upper and lower jaw arches is necessary to plan for proper occlusion, aesthetics, and functionality.Case: A 19-year-old woman came to RSIGM Sultan Agung complaining that her upper front teeth appeared spaced apart and affected her appearance. The patient's medical history showed that he was in good general health. Extraoral examination was within normal limits. Intraoral examination revealed a diastema between the upper central incisors, normal frenulum attachment, an overjet of 3.4 mm, and an overbite of 3.1 mm. Analysis of the working model revealed a positive arch length discrepancy in the upper jaw, while other analysis results were within normal limits. The etiology of the diastema in this case was the size of the available dental arch and normal tooth size. The patient underwent treatment for central diastema using removable orthodontic appliances equipped with active and passive devices, as well as additional finger spring components to mesialize teeth 11 and 12 and close the maxillary central diastemaConclusion: Esthetic treatment of maxillary central diastema caused by differences in tooth and jaw size can be performed using removable orthodontic appliances with additional finger spring components. Patient cooperation during treatment and retention appliances are necessary to achieve stable long-term orthodontic results

Abstract

AbstractBackground: Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) is a sinus infection of dental origin, commonly associated with extraction of maxillary posterior teeth. While alveolar osteitis (dry socket) is a common post-extraction complication, its progression to OMS is relatively low, though clinically observed. This case report discussed the management of OMS, for the general practitioner to collaborating with otorhinolaryngologist and eliminating the focal infection with non-surgical management.Case: A 28-year-old female presented with severe pain, foul-smelling odor, facial discomfort, and postnasal drip following extraction of the upper left maxillary molar (tooth 26). Clinical examination revealed dry socket, while panoramic radiography suggested sinusitis involvement. Multidisciplinary management, such as saline irrigation, antibiotic therapy, and nasal decongestant under otorhinolaryngologist supervision and for the focal infection included local debridement and curettage without any dressing following with maintaining good oral hygiene. After 12 days, significant symptom improvement was observed, both clinical and radiographic evaluations confirmed complete resolution at three months follow-up. Conclusion: OMS associated with dry socket is relatively low but can be effectively managed with non-surgical multidisciplinary management. Good healing following extraction to eliminate the focal infection is fundamental. Ensuring a favorable prognosis further requires accurate diagnosis, appropriate pharmacological therapy, effective dental focal management, and comprehensive patient education

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Oral health is sustained under the control of a dynamic balance between oral microorganisms, host immunity, and oral tissue. Loss of this balance leads to microbial dysbiosis and inflammation associated with many oral diseases. Multitarget agents such as herbal medicine are therefore being increasingly explored, as conventional medicine can lead to some side effects. Medinilla speciosa (Parijoto), an endemic Indonesian medicinal plant, has been reported to possess diverse pharmacological activities. However, its relevance to oral health has not been systematically synthesized.Method: A scoping review was carried out using PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar using the search keyword:  “Medinilla speciosa” AND (antibacterial OR antioxidant OR anti-inflammatory). The pharmacological activity of Medinilla speciosa was recorded in studies.Result: A total of 253 papers were found 6 papers were selected after rigorous selection process based on the PRISMA scoping review technique. Those studies shows the antibacterial impact on pathogenic bacteria, antioxidant properties, immunomodulation, anti-inflammation. Additionally, although no research has examined the impact of these extracts on oral tissues or models of oral diseases, their pharmacological properties are intriguing in terms of their local control of bacteria, modulation of inflammation, oxidative stress reduction, and tissue repair.Conclusion: Current evidence suggests that Medinilla speciosa exhibits multitarget pharmacological activities with potential relevance to oral health. However, oral-specific experimental and clinical studies  are needed for the further validation of its application in dentistry and oral medicine.
