Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of xylitol compared to sorbitol as polyols chewing gum on the plaque accumulation during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances. This clinical trial comprised 20 healthy orthodontic patients aged 18 –to-30-years old. The subjects were randomly assigned into 2 groups: xylitol group (n=10) and sorbitol group (n-10). The subjects were instructed to chew 2 pieces of tested chewing gum three times everyday for a 14-days period of experiment. The xylitol gum contained of 1300 mg xylitol per serving (2 pieces of gum) while the sorbitol gum was sweetened with sorbitol. At baseline and after 14 days the plaque were collected from bucco-cervical surfaces around brackets of premolar and front teeth and then dried weigh. The result of this study showed that the means of plaque weight in the xylitol group at baseline and after 14 days were 2.75 mg ± 2.59 mg and 0.92 mg ± 1.23 mg respectively, while the means of plaque weight in the sorbitol group at baseline and after 14 days were: 2.13 mg ± 0.94 mg and 2.37 mg ± 0.89 mg respectively. After one way ANOVA and post hoc test, there was no difference between plaque weight in both groups at baseline (p=0.2) while the plaque weight in the xylitol group was significantly lower than the sorbitol group after 14 days (p < 0.01). In conclusion, 14-days use of xylitol- containing chewing gums, corresponding to a daily amount of 4 grams of xylitol, could eliminate the plaque accumulation in fixed orthodontic patients.

Abstract

Making fixed partial denture to replace the missing mandibular second molar with the involvement of the third molar as abutment is rarely done, because the location of the 3rd molar is far behind and the narrow space for operator in making the tooth preparation. In addition, the shape and size of crown and root, and position of the 3rd molar in the dental arch does not often encounter the requirement to serve as an abutment. We have made fixed partial denture for a patient who had lost his second lower molar by using the first and third molar as an abutment. The 3rd molar is tilted to mesial along to the lingual aspect more than 25º, so we decided to make an intra coronal retainer to the teeth. In line with decreasing the chewing forces, the pontic occlusal surface area, had been made narrow by 20-30%. The result showed that there was no complaint from the patient after the insertion of the dentures. In conclusion, the manufacture of fixed partial denture to replace the missing mandibular second molar with the involvement of the third molar as abutment can be done by considering carefully the principles of biomechanical and preparation.

Abstract

The prevalence, extent, and severity of gingival recession increase with age and more prevalent in males. Recession is an exposure of the root surface and an apical shift of the gingival position. Recession may be localized in one tooth or a number of teeth, or it may be generalized through out the mouth. Gingival recession will be a problem when patient complained about esthetic, because teeth are seen longer . Gingival recession could happen either physiologic or pathologic. Physiologically, it usually increases with age. Pathologically, it is caused by fault tooth brushing technique, malposition, gingival inflammation, abnormal frenum attachment, and iatrogenic dentistry. Treatment of gingival recession result on esthetic problem and pain because of open dentine. Treatment could be done either with surgery or non surgery. Surgery technique can use flap non reposiotion. In this case report, patient had recession in man dible anterior region. She wanted to get esthetic appearance but she did not want to have surgery treatment. Artificial gingival was performend to cover the recession. Material of the artificial gingival is a soft liner ( chairside vinyl polysiloxane resilient denture liner ), because of good biocompatibility, nice colour and texture is invitiate real gingiva, although it has to take it off when eating and cleaning up . Main function of artificial gingival is esthetic function and cover the recession. In conclusion, after treatment showed good esthetic and patient. Beside treatment, we need to suggest patients to do plaque control and visit dentist at least twice a year.

Abstract

Anterior crossbite is a common strike anomaly that may be found in growing patient who is seeking orthodontic treatment for functional reason. On the other hand, impacted t ooth is a failure of dental eruption which is sometimes not realized by patient until having proper dental examination. The following case report described an orthodontic treatment of 10-yearold girl with straight profile and impacted maxillary left second premolars. This condition associated with arch length discrepancy causing space deficiency for second premolars eruption. The management of correcting anterior crossbite concurrently maxillary second premolars impaction started with space regaining by eliminate occlusal interference prior to distal movement of the posterior teeth. The most significant drawback of distalization is an equal and opposite mesial force tends to flare the incisors labially. After 12-months of treatment, distal movement of posterior teeth eliminatinganterior crossbite and allowed spontaneous upper left second premolars eruption. At the eighteenth month of treatment, overbite and overjet value was +2mm and midline maxillary and mandible arch paralled with in relation and centric occlusion. In conclusion, early intervention for anterior crossbite and impacted second maxillary left second premolars correction in this case was based on proper treatment timing and accurate diagnose by considering patient’s growth trend.

Abstract

Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a rare benign tumor which mostly affects the mandible and the most common site is in the premolar-molar region . It is a painless, generally slow-growing, benign lesion which enlarges in an expansive manner. It is usually detected in the third and fourth decade of life and is more common in women. Radiographically, they appear as well-defined unilocular or multilocular intraosseous mass in the premolar- molar region of the mandible. The lesion is invariably encapsulated and with mixed radiolucent density. Its histopathology shows fibrous tissues with calcified structures resembling bone or cementum. This article reports a rare case of a-20-year old male with history of swelling in the anterior mandible region at tooth region 33-43 causing difficulty in occlusion. We have performed marginal resection and put AO plate crossing the bone defect. There was no wound dehiscence and exposed AO plate after six months of close observation. In conclusion, the mass has been succesfully excised and reconstructed using AOplate. Patient has been referred to the prosthodontic department for having a denture.

Abstract

Self- ligating bracket systems are currently one of the famous topics in orthodontics. There are many of these systems i n the market. However, the Damon bracket system is mostly the best known and widely used. The Damon system is a passive self- ligati ng method in correcting malocclusions. The Damon bracket system does not require o- rings to hold the wire in place, the Damon system uses small sliding doors. The absence of using o- rings, the wire freely slides through the slot without friction, which necessitates new mechanics to complete the treatment faster and more optimal. In conclusion, treatment procedures with Damon system become simpler and faster compared to conventional brackets.

Abstract

Individuals with aggressive periodontitis (AP) can have a heritable risk factors related to the bacterial floras, immunological responses and leukocyte functions. This study aimed to characterize indicators and differences between the two subclasses of AP. A series of clinical parameters and full mouth dental radiographs was obtained from 27 consenting AP patients. After sampling of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and peripheral blood, the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was measured from GCF by enzymatic method. The proportion of lymphocyte subpopulations was measured from blood by flow cytometry, and titter of immunoglobulin G against Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) fimbriae was determined from serum by ELISA. The results classified the subjects into eight subjects with mild AP (AP1) and 19 subjects with severe AP (AP2). From all indicators tested, we concluded that the GCF ALP was the one which was 100% specific for AP2, though with 76.9% sensitivity and 77.8% accuracy; and that AP1 and AP2 are different types of early-onset periodontitis (EOP), of which AP1 does not progress into AP2.

Abstract

This study was an experimental laboratory. The aim of study was to know the site-specific retention rate and possibility of fluoride retention in saliva after tooth brushing program in primary school children. The subjects were 7 students aged 6-7 year-old, who were in the first and second year class, and had free caries. They were intervented with tooth brushing campaign with sodium monofluorophosphat paste. Subsequently they received 3 time treatments, 1); brushing teeth by following rinsing as usual as they did, 2); brushing teeth by following single rinsing, and 3) brushing teeth without rinsing. The difference of fluoride retention in saliva was analyzed with Kruskal Wallis and post-hoc Mann Whitney. The results showed that the mean concentration of fluoride retention in saliva after 10 minutes tooth-brushing with single rinsing was higher than that of concentration fluoride retention in saliva as usual (p<0.05), while the concentration of fluoride retention increased significantly from 0.282 to 0.386 ppm (p<0.05) after 10 minutes tooth brushing with single rinsing. Unfortunately, there was no significant difference between tooth brushing with single rinsing and tooth brushing without rinsing. As conclusion, the highest concentration of fluoride retention in saliva was after tooth brushing followed with single rinsing could be recommended for dental prevention program through school health service programs in primary school children.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common diseases found in the world especially in Indonesia. This disease has many oral manifestations and one of them is periodontitis. The aim of this study was to know the correlat of T2DM and periodontal destruction in those with periodontitis by using a case control study. The study comprised of two groups of subjects who had T2DM and non diabetes respectively. Samples were taken from three places in Medan. Each group was taken 45 people, so the total numbers of samples are 90 people. Periodontal destruction was measured using periodontal index by Russel, probing depth and clinical attachment loss. Data was analyzed using independent Student and Pearson correlation tests. The result showed that the periodontal index and clinical attachment loss in T2DM patients were bigger than those in controls. Conversely, the probing depth in T2DM patients was smaller than those in controls but it was not statistically significant. Beside that, the increasing of blood glucose did not influence the periodontal condition. In conclusion, there was a correlation between T2DM and periodontal destruction in those with periodontitis.
