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: Dental pain is a complex condition influenced by biological, biochemical, environmental, and psychological factors. Before seeking professional care, many patients attempt to relieve dental pain using self-administered, non-medical agents. This study aimed to investigate patients’ use of non-pharmacological substances in dental pain management and to identify factors influencing these practices. Methods: The questionnaire consisted of four sections addressing demographic characteristics, oral hygiene habits, pain characteristics, and pain-relief agents. Categorical variables were analyzed using Pearson’s chi-square test. Categorical data are presented as frequencies and percentages, while continuous data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation and median values. Results: A total of 1,007 valid responses were analyzed. Significant associations were observed between gender and tooth-brushing frequency, and between educational level and tooth-brushing frequency. The presence of systemic disease was significantly associated with analgesic use. Additionally, psychiatric disorders were significantly associated with the use of non-medical substances (p = 0.036). Conclusions: Significant relationships were identified among several variables. The most notable finding was the markedly higher prevalence of non-pharmacological substance use among individuals with psychiatric disorders.

Abstract

Background: WNT signaling regulates osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) through the canonical WNT pathway. β-catenin; an important molecule of WNT pathway, and DKK1; a WNT antagonist, play important roles in regulating bone formation. Although flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) has various health benefits, including promoting bone health, our previous study showed that flaxseed ethanolic extract (FEE) reduced the osteoblast differentiation potential of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED). This study aimed to determine the effects of FEE on WNT pathway-related molecules, β-catenin and DKK1, during osteoblast differentiation of SHED. Methods: RNA at Day 7, 14, and 21 was extracted from SHED cultured in osteoblast induction media (OIM) treated with/without FEE and subjected to reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR) using the specific primers for B-Catenin and DKK1, while GAPDH acted as the internal control. Results: Treatment with FEE at 4 mg/ml significantly reduced β-catenin and DKK1 expression at day 7 (p < 0.01), increased at day 14 (p < 0.01), and later was reduced at day 21 (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Overall, FEE modulates the expressions of WNT-associated molecules: β-catenin and DKK1, during osteoblast differentiation of SHED, hence affecting the normal process of osteogenesis of SHED as demonstrated in the current analysis.

Abstract

Background: Class III malocclusion combined with anterior open bite (AOB) is one of the most challenging occlusal problems to treat. The objective of this article was to report a case of an adult female patient diagnosed with Class III malocclusion combined with an anterior open bite and a hyperdivergent facial pattern. Case Report: Camouflage orthodontic treatment with the extraction of maxillary and mandibular first premolars was used to treat the patient. Anterior teeth were retracted maximally against the Nance holding arch and fixed lingual arch appliances, and box elastics were used to close AOB. At the end of treatment, canines and molars were in a Class I relationship with normal overjet and overbite. The facial profile was improved, and the smile aesthetics improved significantly. Conclusion: Camouflage orthodontic treatment can be used successfully to treat an adult female patient with severe Class III malocclusion combined with an anterior open bite and a hyperdivergent facial pattern.
