Journal of Dentistry Indonesia (JDI) is a scientific journal that is published three times annually (April, August and December). This journal aims for continuous dissemination of updates in relation to dentistry and its related fields in the form of original articles, case reports and reviews. Its first publication was in 1993, under the name of Majalah Kedokteran Gigi Indonesia, published by the Faculty of Dentistry Universitas Indonesia. All submitted manuscripts are subjected for double-blind peer reviews and editorial reviews processes before being granted acceptance. The Editors welcome manuscripts in the following key thematic areas in oral and maxillofacial sciences: Cariology Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology Conservative Dentistry Dental Biomaterial Dental Education Dental Traumatology Endodontics Esthetic Dentistry Healthcare Economics Implant Dentistry Oral Biosciences Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Oral Medicine Oral Microbiology Oral Pathology Oral Radiology Oral Rehabilitation Orthodontics Pediatric Dentistry Periodontology and Periodontal Medicine

Abstract

Background: Periodontitis is defined as an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth caused by specific microorganisms, resulting in progressive destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Clinical manifestations of Persistent chronic periodontitis may mimic varied clinical manifestations, including those of apical abscess and systemic involvement. Case report: This report presents the management of an intraoral sinus mimicking a chronic apical abscess in the mandibular anterior region associated with deep periodontal pockets in two male patients in their early thirties. With careful clinical and radiological examination and ruling out of endodontic and systemic involvement, the diagnosis of primary periodontal infection was made. Results: The treatment plan involved initially phase 1 therapy and correction of occlusal discrepancies. After 2 weeks of periodontal surgical intervention that included open flap debridement, both patients reported marked symptomatic improvement, with complete resolution of pain and swelling, and sinus with no recurrence at 3 and 6 months. Conclusions: This case report emphasized careful periodontal examination and diagnosis of primary periodontal infection with intraoral draining sinus mimicking endodontic involvement, which can prevent unnecessary endodontic therapy and tooth extraction.

Abstract

Background: This study aimed to evaluate variations in maxillary and sinus morphology and their correlations with skeletal malocclusion patterns using CBCT. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed CBCT records of 70 subjects aged 17–40 years, divided into three groups: Skeletal Class I (N = 25), Class II (N = 25), and Class III (N = 20). Five maxillary skeletal and four sinus parameters were assessed. Intergroup comparisons were performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. Correlations were evaluated using Pearson’s correlation test. Intra-observer reliability was assessed by re-measuring 8 randomly selected CBCT scans after a two-week interval, and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated to confirm measurement consistency. Results: Significant intergroup differences were found in ANS-PNS, Cd-A, and Zm-Zm, with skeletal Class III subjects showing consistently reduced values. Maxillary sinus dimensions did not differ significantly among groups. Skeletal Class III subjects demonstrated stronger correlations between sinus and skeletal parameters compared to Class I and II. Conclusions: Although maxillary sinus dimensions did not differ significantly among skeletal classes, notable correlations with maxillary skeletal morphology, especially in Class III malocclusion, were observed. These findings may have relevance for diagnostic assessment and treatment planning in orthodontic and surgical cases.

Abstract

Background: This study aimed to evaluate canal transportation, centering ability, structure model index (SMI), surface area, and root canal volume changes in the mesial canals of mandibular first molars using micro-CT. Methods: Twenty-four mandibular first molars with two separate mesial canals and moderate curvature were included. Teeth were scanned using micro-CT before instrumentation and randomly divided into three groups (N = 8). Root canals were prepared using OneShape, OneCurve, and Rotate file systems, followed by post-instrumentation micro-CT scanning (10µm/pixel resolution). Changes in canal volume, surface area, transportation, centering ability, and SMI were analyzed at the apical, middle, and coronal thirds. Data were statistically evaluated (p < 0.05). Results: Canal transportation was significantly greater in the middle third compared to the apical and coronal regions. OneCurve (0.06 ± 0.02) and OneShape (0.09 ± 0.05) systems showed significantly higher transportation than the Rotate system (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed among the groups in centering ability (p > 0.05), although the Rotate system demonstrated better centering ability. Additionally, the OneShape system resulted in greater increases in canal volume and SMI. Conclusions: While OneShape and OneCurve systems exhibited similar transportation, the Rotate system provided more favorable shaping outcomes. OneShape caused greater dentin removal and morphological changes.
