Abstract

Background: Down syndrome is a genetic disorder with a high prevalence of periodontal disease. Increased periodontal pocket depth is one of the important indicators in assessing periodontal tissue damage. Factors such as age, sex, nutritional status, and toothbrushing practice are thought to influence periodontal conditions in individuals with Down syndrome. This study aims to analyze the relationship between these factors and periodontal pocket depth values in individuals with Down syndrome.Method: This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach involving 40 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. Clinical examination of periodontal pocket depth was carried out using a WHO probe at six points of each tooth. Nutritional status data were obtained through body mass index (BMI) measurements, while toothbrushing practice and respondent characteristics were obtained through structured interviews. Data analysis included Spearman and Chi-square tests with a significance level of p<0,05.Result: The results showed a significant relationship between age (p=0.000; r=0.646) and toothbrushing practice (p=0.008; r=0.412) with periodontal pocket depth. Meanwhile, sex (p=0.726) and nutritional status (p=0.679) did not show a significant relationship with periodontal pocket depth in individuals with Down syndrome.Conclusion: The results showed a significant relationship between age (p=0.000; r=0.646) and toothbrushing practice (p=0.008; r=0.412) with periodontal pocket depth. Meanwhile, sex (p=0.726) and nutritional status (p=0.679) did not show a significant relationship with periodontal pocket depth in individuals with Down syndrome

Abstract

Background: Teledentistry is an innovation in web-based dental health services that enables dentists and patients to communicate remotely without direct contact. This application plays an essential role in the assessment and follow-up of oral and maxillofacial surgery patients. This study aimed to evaluate the usability level of a web-based teledentistry application using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method.Method: This study was a descriptive observational research with a non-experimental case study approach. Data were obtained using a SUS questionnaire consisting of 10 Likert-scale questions assessing three main aspects: effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction toward the RamahCLP web application.Result: The results showed that the web-based teledentistry application achieved a good usability score, categorized as “acceptable,” indicating that users could easily understand and operate the application for assessment and follow-up needs.Conclusion: It can be concluded that the RamahCLP web-based application has good usability and has the potential to effectively support teledentistry services.

Abstract

Background: Extensive tooth loss may impair masticatory function, esthetics, and quality of life, and can accelerate alveolar bone resorption. Overdentures represent a prosthodontic treatment option that preserves remaining teeth or root remnants as supporting structures, thereby improving prosthesis stability and maintaining the supporting tissues.Objective: To report the management of extensive tooth loss using tooth- and root-supported overdentures, with consideration of clinical conditions and patient preferences.Case Report: A 53-year-old male patient presented with a chief complaint of difficulty in mastication due to extensive tooth loss in the maxillary and mandibular arches. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed the presence of several teeth and root remnants with periodontal conditions that were still suitable for preservation. The treatment was performed in stages, including periodontal and endodontic therapy, extraction of teeth with poor prognosis, and prosthodontic rehabilitation using removable partial dentures combined with bare-root overdentures and non-retentive short coping overdentures.Results: After prosthesis insertion, the patient demonstrated improved masticatory function, comfort, and overall satisfaction. Clinical evaluation showed good adaptation, retention, and stability of the overdentures, with no complaints of pain or soft tissue irritation.Conclusion: Tooth- and root-supported overdentures are an effective treatment option for patients with extensive tooth loss when suitable abutments remain. This approach provides favorable functional and psychological outcomes when supported by appropriate preliminary treatment and regular maintenance.

Abstract

Background: Recurrent intraoral herpes (RIH) is caused by reactivation of Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1). While HSV-1 infection is usually self-limiting, severe cases requiring hospitalization are uncommon and present significant clinical challenges. Delayed diagnosis or inadequate antiviral therapy can contribute to disease progression and increased morbidity.This case study aims to illustrate an effective therapeutic approach for managing severe RIH in a patient presenting with intense pain and difficulty swallowing, emphasizing strategies that enhance patient comfort and improve clinical outcomes.Case: An 24-year-old male presented in a markedly weakened condition with severe difficulty swallowing. Examination revealed multiple ulcerative lesions of varying sizes diffusely throughout the oral cavity, with extensive erythema and severe pain (Visual Analog Scale [VAS] score: 8). Vital signs at presentation were blood pressure 90/60 mmHg and oxygen saturation 91%. Due to his weakened state and significant pain, inpatient care was required for close monitoring and nutritional support.Treatment included systemic acyclovir 400 mg, multivitamins, 0.025% hyaluronic acid mouthwash, 0.9% saline, and petroleum jelly 100%. After seven days of therapy, the patient clinically improved. Lesions gradually decreased in size, number, erythema subsided, and pain significantly reduced, allowing resumption of oral intake. VAS score decreased from 8 at admission to 5 at discharge. Conclusion:Severe RIH can necessitate hospitalization and multidisciplinary management. Early initiation of systemic antiviral therapy combined with supportive care effectively reduces symptoms, improves nutritional intake, and prevents further deterioration. Timely, comprehensive intervention is critical for optimal outcomes in severe HSV-1 reactivation.

Abstract

Background: Unbalanced nutritional intake can affect the occurrence of disorders in the oral cavity, such as disorders of the function and structure of the soft tissues of the mouth, especially at the corners of the lips and tongue so that microbial growth increases due to the decomposition of food. BMI/U is a nutritional status assessment index that is often used to detect nutritional problems in children. Accumulation of bacteria in the oral cavity causes poor oral hygiene and causes the development of microbes that can lead to inflammation. Aim: This study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status based on BMI/AGE and the total number of bacteria in the oral cavity of children aged 5-12 years. Mthode: The research method used is observational analytical research with laboratory experiments. The research subjects required were 100 children, aged 5-12 years. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Results: From the results of the data analysis, a significance value of 0.028 was obtained (p <0.05). Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there is a unidirectional correlation between nutritional status and the number of bacteria in the oral cavity of children.
