Abstract

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a rather common oral disease, mainly affecting adults, occurring more often in women than in men. The etiopathogenesis is still unclear. The diagnosis may be cumbersome, even in the presence of a biopsy. In addition, there are several lesions that may resemble lichen planus (lichenoid lesions) both clinically and histopathologically. Treatment of OLP can only be symptomatic and usually consists of topical application of corticosteroids. The disease is characterized by remissions and exacerbations and may persist in some patients lifelong. There is an ongoing debate in the literature as whether OLP is a potentially malignant disease. Because of this uncertainty, annual follow-up is advised.

Abstract

Numerical variations of teeth are common. Hypodontia considered being presence of less number of teeth in normal complement while extra teeth to normal dentition are considered as hyperdontia. Hypodontia and hyperdontia are two opposite numerical variations of human dentition and occurrence of these two conditions is called as concomitant hypo-hyperdontia. The occurrence of hypo-hyperdontia in a patient is common. This report describes a rare occurrence of conical shape supernumerary teeth in premolar region and agenesis of tooth 55 and 81 in primary dentition and teeth 15, 25 and 41 in permanent dentition.

Abstract

and living condition as well as eating habit would influence salivary function. Saliva palys a role in determining the development pattern and oral health. Saliva has a unique function in the defense mechanism to microorganism in the oral environment. Research focuses on the salivary physiology is limited and seems to be separated from medical and dental professional education. Better and deeper comprehensive understanding of saliva in health and disease is needed. Nowadays, many studies have used saliva to find diagnosis markers for specific diseases. Salivary analysis is intended to give descriptive information on disease status for prevention, monitoring and treatment purposes. This brief review aimed to give understanding on salivary physiology in order to add new views of its application in the field of medicine and dentistry.

Abstract

Focal infection theory proposed in early 1900’s stated that dental infection caused systemic disorders. Nevertheless, the theory was abandoned since large number of teeth were extracted with no satisfying result. Recent reports revealed that oral infections were able to spread systemically. However, there is no rationalization available to explain how assisted drainage therapy (ADT), a periodontal therapy that could relief migraine and asthma within minutes. Oral neurogenic and immunogenic inflammation interaction involving pro-inflammatory markers such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), TNF-α; and antiinflammatory vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) was still under investigation. Objective: To verify the spread of oral inflammation to distant organ after performing ADT by analysing CGRP, VIP and TNF-α expressions. Methods: Two different concentration of Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (PgLPS1435/1450) was injected intragingivally into two groups of 12 Wistar rats. After four days, 12 rats were given ADT and all samples were subsequently sacrificed 40 mins after ADT. Immunohistochemistry analysis using CGRP, VIP and TNF-α on the nasal and bronchus tissue was performed. ANOVA was used for statistical analyisis of the difference between CGRP, VIP and TNF-α expression between experimental groups. Results: PgLPS injections slightly increased CGRP, VIP and TNF-α expressions in the control group. Rats undergone ADT had lower CGRP and TNF-α but higher VIP expressions. Conclusion: Neurogenic inflammation involved in systemic sp

Abstract

Infection by Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) type I and II cause a worldwide medical problems. HSV-I infections are common in oral and perioral area. After primary infection, HSV becomes latent in the dorsal root ganglia and recurrences are caused by many stimuli. Antiviral agents, prevention of transmission, suppression of recurrences are current management of HSV infection. Objective: to discuss the management of Recurrent Intraoral Herpes (RIH) infection. Case report: a 21 years old female patient came to hospital with irregular painful ulcers in her mouth preceded by prodrome, followed with eruption and outbreak of vesicles. The first laboratory examination confirmed high titer of reactive Immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG of anti HSV-I and HSV-II. She was diagnosed to have RIH and treated with oral Acyclovir, multivitamins, immune stimulant and 0.2% chlorhexidine gargle with good healing. Oral Valacyclovir was given after she had another recurrence, with the result of low episodes of RIH and continuous titer improvement of reactive IgM and IgG of anti HSV-I and HSV-II. Conclusion: Oral administration of Valacyclovir as a the oral prodrugs of Acyclovir is effective prophylactic and therapeutic option with many advantages against HSV infection.

Abstract

One of the oral complications in head and neck radiotherapy is xerostomia. The severity of xerostomia can be observed using objective examination (unstimulated salivary flow rate measurement) and subjective examination (assessment using xerostomia questionnaires). There are two questionnaires used in assessment of xerostomia in head and neck cancer radiotherapy namely Xerostomia Questionnaire (XQ) and Groningen Radiotherapy-Induced Xerostomia Questionnaire (GRIX). Objective: To know the correlation between unstimulated salivary flow rate and severity of xerostomia assessment using two questionnaires. Methods: 30 head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy at Radiotherapy Department of RSUP Dr. Sardjito Yogyakarta between January-April 2013 were involved in this study. The assessment of xerostomia used xerostomia questionnaires (XQ and GRIX). Unstimulated salivary flow rate was measured in ml/minutes. Data was analyzed using Spearman Rank Correlation. Results: There is a negative significant correlation between salivary flow rate and severity of xerostomia with correlation coefficient -0.452 (p

Abstract

The influence of immersion period and liquid pH on water absorption capacity and solubility of the resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) raises the question of whether the critical pH of hydroxyapatite and fluoroapatite influences the water absorption capacity and solubility of enhanced resin-modified glass ionomer (ERMGI). Objective: This study was designed to investigate the effects of immersion periods and various pH levels of artificial saliva on the water absorption and solubility of RMGIC and ERMGI. Methods: Fifty-four disc-shaped specimens (15 mm x 1 mm) of enhanced RMGI (ACTIVATM BioACTIVE-RESTORATIVE, Pulpdent, Watertown, MA, USA) and 54 disc-shaped specimens (15 mm x 1 mm) of RMGIC (Fuji II LC Capsules, GC Corp, Tokyo, Japan) were prepared. Both materials were divided into 9 groups based on artificial saliva pH (pH 7, pH 5.5, and pH 4.5) and immersion time (1, 7, and 14 days). Water absorption and solubility were measured based on ISO 4049: 2009. Data were analyzed statistically using one-way ANOVA. Results: The results showed significant differences in water absorption and solubility value between RMGIC and enhanced RMGI for all the groups. Both materials showed increased water absorption and solubility when immersed in artificial saliva that exhibited a lower pH level and under higher immersion period. Conclusion: Lower pH levels and longer immersion time influence the water absorption and solubility of enhanced RMGI and RMGIC.
