Abstract

Objective: Reliable tissue adhesion to glass slides is critical for accurate histological evaluation. Egg albumen, a commonly used coating agent, often results in background staining and inconsistent performance. Aloe vera, known for its biocompatibility and adhesive properties, presents a sustainable alternative. This study aimed to develop a novel aloe vera–vinegar gel formulation and compare its slide-coating performance with that of traditional egg albumen. Methods: Fresh Aloe vera gel was extracted and combined with nonfruit vinegar, filtered, and refrigerated. Thirty paraffin-embedded tissue sections were divided into two groups: one coated with aloe vera–vinegar gel and the other coated with egg albumen. The slides were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Two blinded observers evaluated parameters, including viscosity, adhesion, background staining, and stain intensity. The data were analysed via independent t-tests and Cohen’s kappa. Results: The viscosity (p < 0.001) and stain intensity (p = 0.002) of aloe vera–vinegar gel were significantly greater than those of egg albumen. It showed minimal background staining and consistent tissue adherence. The level of observer agreement was high across the assessments. Conclusion: Aloe vera–vinegar gel is a viable, eco-friendly alternative to egg albumen for histological slide coating. Its superior viscosity, enhanced staining characteristics, and cleaner background support its potential for routine use. Future studies should include objective physical property analyses to further validate its application.

Abstract

Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the cathepsin C gene and inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The risk of its occurrence is heightened by consanguineous marriages. PLS affects both genders and presents with hyperkeratotic patches on the hands and feet and precocious aggressive periodontitis. Although teeth initially erupt normally, rapid resorption in periodontal tissues leads to swift tooth loss, and prosthetic rehabilitation is complicated due to aggressive alveolar bone resorption. Case report: In 2021, a brother and sister sought dental treatment at Gazi University’s Faculty of Dentistry. After thorough examinations, the brother underwent total teeth extraction and subsequently received prosthetic treatment, while the sister opted for a removable prosthesis post-extraction. Two years later, the brother’s prosthesis showed no issues, justifying its continued use. However, the sister required a total prosthesis after total teeth extraction. Regular check-ups are essential for both patients, as they are candidates for dental implants after growth and development completion. Conclusion: It is important to note that PLS is a rare condition; therefore, vigilant dental diagnosis and effective management are crucial.

Abstract

Objective: The study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of resin-infiltration in masking white spot lesions and enamel defects, color stability, and caries progression inhibition in primary and permanent teeth. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane library, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar databases were searched from 2018 to 2022 and only randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT’s) were included. The studies were analyzed regarding the clinical efficacy of resin-infiltration in masking white spot lesions and enamel defects, color stability, and inhibition of caries progression. Results: Of the 14 articles identified, 5 RCTs were included. The quality of the studies was assessed to be high concerning allocation and outcomes. All the included studies showed significant differences in caries progression, masking, and color stability between test and control groups. Conclusion: The use of resin filtration significantly improved clinical outcomes in controlling proximal caries lesions and masking and color stability of enamel defects on smooth surfaces, compared to other non-invasive approaches.

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.
