Abstract

Objectives: The misalignment of teeth and/or jaws caused by abnormalities in the dynamic process of craniofacial growth and development is known as malocclusion. Over half of children and adolescents worldwide experience some form of malocclusion. Orthodontic treatment is the process of adjusting the position of teeth and jaws to achieve optimal occlusion. In recent decades, there has been a global surge in the need for orthodontic treatment among adults. This study aims to evaluate the factors affecting interest in orthodontic treatment among adults in Jakarta. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from October to December 2023. A total of 196 adults were retrieved by purposive sampling from public places located in Jakarta. Self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on demographic characteristics, knowledge regarding orthodontic treatment, self-perception, psychosocial, and oral disorder factors. Logistic regression analysis was carried out with a level of significance less than 0.05. Results: Majority of respondents had a good level of knowledge regarding orthodontic treatment (63.3%) and were interested in undergoing orthodontic treatment (85.7%). There was a significant association between other opinions about respondents’ dental arrangement and interest in orthodontic treatment (p = 0.018; 95% CI = 0.135 – 0.826). Self-perception factors, oral disorder factors, and demographic characteristics were not significant in predicting interest in orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: For adults in Jakarta, other people's opinion about respondents’ dental arrangements is the only psychosocial factor correlated with interest in orthodontic treatment. The importance of orthodontic care still needs to be improved for adults in Jakarta.

Abstract

Objective: Bruxism has been described as a parafunction associated with a multifactorial etiology, but primarily as a psychological factor. This study determined the prevalence of bruxism among dental students and explored the potential contributing factors. Methods: A cross-sectional self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among dental students across various academic years. The prevalence of bruxism (awake and during sleep) was assessed along with stress levels, lifestyle factors, and demographic variables. Statistical analyses were performed using the chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of bruxism was significantly associated with stress and academic workload. Most participants exhibited moderate to severe stress. Of these, most reported symptoms of bruxism. However, formal diagnoses and treatment-seeking behaviors were low. Conclusions: Bruxism is prevalent among dental students and may be associated with academic stress. Implementing preventive strategies, such as stress management programs and awareness campaigns, could help reduce its impact.

Abstract

Objective: Selecting and arranging acrylic resin teeth for dentures is essential to achieve a natural appearance; however, limited understanding and older adults’ aesthetic expectations may result in inconsistencies and increased patient visits. This study aimed to explore the methods and factors dental students prefer when selecting artificial teeth for dentures for older adults. Method: A validated questionnaire, including consent, demographics, and six domains of the methods with related factors for selecting acrylic teeth, was distributed to dental students of the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). The participants responded using a five-point Likert scale and closed-ended questions. Result: 161 dental students participated in the study (115 females, 71.4% and 46 males, 28.6%), divided into no-experience (n = 80, 49.7%) and experienced (n = 81, 50.3%) in treating older denture patients. Both groups preferred the visual shade selection method, with no-experience students' mean score is 3.88 ± 1.03 and experienced students' score is 4.11 ± 0.77 (p > 0.05). The digital shade selection method was the least preferred by no-experience students (2.98 ± 1.28) and experienced students (2.51 ± 1.33) (p < 0.05). The factors most influencing the selection were experience, light source, and characteristics of the tooth. Conclusions: Dental students preferred the visual shade selection method for choosing acrylic teeth in denture fabrication for older adults and were influenced by experience, light source, and natural tooth characteristics.

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the proximity of upper posterior tooth roots to adjacent sinus borders using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in a Turkish subpopulation and to assess dental students’ competence in identifying this anatomical relationship. Methods: CBCT scans of 171 patients were analyzed. The vertical relationship between premolars and molar roots, and the maxillary sinus (MS) border was categorized into four types (Type 0–3). Interrater agreement between three final-year dental students and an experienced radiologist was measured. Results: Type 0 was the most frequent classification, except for first molars, where Type 2 and Type 3 predominated. MS-root distances were significantly greater in men for specific teeth. Interrater agreement between the radiologist and each student was substantial. Conclusion: The relationship between the MS and posterior teeth varies by tooth type, gender, and age. Second molars most frequently lie closest to the MS, increasing the likelihood of sinus-related complications. Dental students demonstrated substantial diagnostic agreement with the radiologist, highlighting the value of structured radiographic education. These findings underscore the need for thorough radiographic assessment to minimize procedural risks in clinical practice.

Abstract

Objective: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common workplace hazards in dentistry resulting from poor ergonomics and static postures, which lead to back, neck, and upper limb (shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand) problems among dentists, resulting in harm to their health, productivity, and career. This study aimed to assess the frequency of MSDs, risk factors related to MSDs, and awareness of ergonomics among clinicians. Methods: Data were collected from 400 dental professionals, including house officers, postgraduate trainees, general dentists, and teachers/consultants, each with at least 12 months of practice. Data were collected using a structured, closed-ended questionnaire. Before data collection, ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board of the Karachi Medical and Dental College (ESRC/KMDC/069/2023). Results: It was found that only 12.8% of respondents (n = 49, all postgraduate trainees) regularly adjusted their chairs to an ergonomic position. Maintaining posture for > 40 min (p = 0.025), uncomfortable stools (p = 0.034), repeated motions for more than two hours (p = 0.003), maintained non-neutral postures for > 2 h (p = 0.002), and repetitive wrist flexion or extension (p = 0.014) were all significant risk factors. Conclusion: There is a need to incorporate ergonomics and posturedontics into undergraduate and continuing education curricula to minimize the risk of developing MSDs and to support sustainable careers.

Abstract

Objectives: The gonial angle could be one of the contributing factors for the continuous bone resorption in edentulous persons. This study aimed to examine the association between the gonial angle and RRR in edentulous patients receiving mandibular implant-supported overdenture (ISOD) and to compare different gonial angle measuring techniques. Methods: Twenty-three individuals with opposing mandibular ISOD and maxillary full dentures were recruited. The proportional area index was used to calculate the posterior RRR. Orthopantomographs (OPGs) pre- and four years post-implant insertion were compared. Comparison of the gonial angle measurements was made on 5 patients using four measurement methods: (i) Two different vertical line tracing points on OPG (exterior border points and mid-condylar points), (ii) Measurement on a 3D model using a goniometer, (iii) Lateral cephalometric view of CBCT using Mimics software. Results: The posterior RRR showed no correlation with the gonial angle (r < 0.3, p > 0.05). Between the two OPG measurement techniques, there was no discernible difference (p = 0.185), and there is a strong association between both OPG measuring techniques and CBCT readings (R2 = 0.927, 0.829). The manual measurement on the CBCT showed a modest correlation with models produced by 3D printing (R2 = 0.098). Conclusion: The mandibular gonial angle did not correlate with posterior mandibular RRR.

Abstract

Objectives: The human amniotic membrane (HAM) is a promising scaffold for oral applications due to its antimicrobial properties, which help protect against bacterial degradation. However, evidence of its activity against oral bacteria remains limited. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the HAM against selected Gram-positive oral bacteria, namely, Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), Streptococcus sobrinus (S. sobrinus), and Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis). Methods: HAM in 1 cm2-pieces was inoculated with bacterial suspensions and incubated at 37 °C in 5% carbon dioxide (CO2) for 48 hours to evaluate its inhibition activity. Tetracycline-30 and 0.2% Chlorhexidine served as the positive controls, while phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was used as the negative control. Swabs from the inhibition zone were re-cultured on Mueller-Hinton agar to test for the bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects of the HAM. Results: HAM inhibited the growth of S. mutans and S. sobrinus but showed no activity against E. faecalis. It also exhibited bactericidal effects against both the Streptococcus species. A statistical analysis revealed a significantly smaller inhibition zone for the HAM compared with the positive controls, while there was no significant difference compared to the PBS. Conclusion: The human amniotic membrane (HAM) demonstrated antibacterial and bactericidal activity against the selected Streptococcus species, but not E. faecalis. The antibacterial properties of HAM against other oral pathogens require further studies to explore its potential as an oral scaffold.

Abstract

Objective: Pulpitis is an inflammatory condition of the dental pulp. The inflammatory status can be accurately assessed by histological examination. Biomarkers, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), are effective indicators of inflammation severity. Among these, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) has emerged as a key mediator of inflammatory processes associated with pulpitis. However, its clinical application as a biomarker remains limited owing to challenges in its extraction. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of MMP-9 extracted from the dentinal fluid as a biomarker for pulpitis. Methods: Dentinal fluid was collected using the blunt tip of a sterile paper point, following clean excavation of the cavities. The paper point was placed in a sterile tube containing phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and stored at −20 ºC. MMP-9 levels were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: MMP-9 was detected in three of four patients diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis. Kruskal-Wallis test revealed a statistically significant difference in MMP-9 levels in the irreversible pulpitis group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: MMP-9 in dentinal fluid is a potential biomarker for irreversible pulpitis. However, further research is required to validate their diagnostic utility in clinical practice.

Abstract

Objective: Mouthwash is widely used to maintain oral health by reducing the prevalence of pathogenic microbiomes. Nonetheless, chlorhexidine, a common active ingredient, is associated with side effects including teeth staining, mucosal peeling, mouth and tongue numbness. This has prompted interest in natural alternatives. This study aimed to identify the cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory properties of 1’S-1’-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA) isolated from Alpinia conchigera rhizome against human primary gingival fibroblast and keratinocyte (HPGF and HPGK). Methods: Cytotoxicity of ACA (1.57 mg/mL) against HPGF and HPGK was assessed using the MTT assay. Meanwhile, the anti-inflammatory property of ACA was analyzed based on the concentration of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) synthesized by HPGF and HPGK in response to injury stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Results: Treatment with ACA was non-cytotoxic to HPGF and HPGK, with cell viability maintained above 80% after 24 hours. In addition, ACA showed anti-inflammatory activity by reducing the concentration of IL-6 and LDH produced by HPGF and HPGK in response to LPS, reflecting the ACA possibly protecting the cells from inflammation. Conclusion: ACA isolated from A. conchigera rhizome demonstrated non-cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory properties in oral epithelial cells, suggesting its potential to be incorporated in the mouthwash.

Abstract

Patients who report to the dental outpatient department following maxillofacial trauma often exhibit suboptimal oral hygiene, which is frequently attributed to challenges in sustaining oral care stemming from pain and restricted mouth opening after the injury. This case report aims to provide an individualized protocol of oral care and pain management for patients with maxillofacial trauma. Case report: A treatment protocol combining the Tailored Brushing Method (TBM), a personalized approach for at-home oral hygiene, and photobiomodulation using low-level laser was performed on a 24-year-old patient with maxillofacial trauma and poor oral hygiene. Results: The TBM is successful in achieving good patient adherence to at-home oral hygiene protocols. The results showed that the application of low-level laser soon after the trauma helped in pain control and augmented the patient’s compliance with the necessary procedures. This application was also shown to be effective in healing intraoral soft tissues. Conclusion: This case report highlights the TBM’s success in improving patient compliance and the effect of photobiomodulation in managing pain and enhancing the healing of soft tissues. In the precision periodontics era, this personalized oral care approach will offer significant therapeutic advantages in the management of patients with maxillofacial trauma.
