Abstract

South Kalimantan Province has a fairly high dental caries problems, and one region with this problem is South Hulu Sungai Regency with a percentage of cases of 45.56%. Dental caries is influenced by various risk factors, including socioeconomic status, eating habits, general health, fluorine use, saliva, and caries experience. Risk assessment of dental caries can be done using the Caries-Risk Assessment Tool by the America Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (CAT-AAPD). This study aims to analyze the relationship between caries risk assessment using the CAT-AAPD method and the incidence of caries in children aged 6-8 years in South Daha District, South Hulu Sungai Regency. This is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. The population of this study was children in South Daha aged 6-8 years. The total number of samples was 104 selected using the simple random sampling technique. High category caries risk was most common in children suffering from dental caries in a very high category with 64 respondents (53.3%). The results showed that there was a strong relationship (< 0.05) between caries risk assessment using the CAT-AAPD method and the incidence of caries in children aged 6-8 years. The higher the risk of caries, the higher the incidence of dental caries. Parents’ increased awareness of maintaining children’s dental and oral health is important to reduce cases of tooth decay caused by dental caries, and they can determine the treatments that should be undertaken.

Abstract

Denture cleansing is one clinical parameter of successful denture wearing. This study aims to examine the effect of the type of denture cleanser on porosity and discoloration of acetal resin as a denture base. Twenty-four samples of acetal resin with 10 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness were divided into four groups. Porosity was measured using the wet and dry sample measurement method, and color value levels were measured using chroma meter for all samples. All of the samples were soaked into four types of denture cleanser: distilled water, alkaline peroxide tablets, 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate, and 0.5% sodium hypochlorite for seven days, then the final porosity and color value level were assessed. The results showed that there were significant differences between groups in porosity and in color change of acetal resin (p < 0.05). Pearson’s correlation test showed that there was a positive correlation between the porosity level and discoloration level of acetal resin (p < 0.05). The research discovered that the type of denture cleaner has a significant influence on the porosity and color change of acetal resin. Sodium hypochlorite has the highest porosity and color change when compared to other cleansing agents.

Abstract

Soft liners are recommended in denture stomatitis, yet they are prone to microorganism colonization. Modification of soft liners can be done by adding titanium dioxide (TiO2) because they induce photocatalytic production and increase the physical strength of the material. This research aims to examine the effect of adding (TiO2) filter in soft liners on the growth of Candida albicans and surface hardness. This research used disc-shaped soft liners with 2 sizes: 10 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness for the mold growth test and 10 mm in diameter and 6mm in thickness for surface hardness. Each of the 24 samples was divided into 4 groups: groups I, II, and III with the addition of (TiO2) at concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, and 2%, respectively, and group IV acting as the control group without (TiO2). Test of the growth of Candida albicans used dilution method, and calculations were made with a colony counter. Test of surface hardness used a durometer, and data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and LSD. The results showed that among the groups, group III demonstrated the lowest growth of Candida albicans (7.67±2.25 x103CFU/mL), while group IV exhibited the highest growth (21.33±4.63 x103CFU/ml). The results of the ANOVA test showed that the addition of TiO2 had a significant effect on the growth of Candida albicans (p < 0.05). In the LSD test, there were significant differences between the control group and all of the treatment groups. In the surface hardness test, the highest was observed in group III (29.92 ± 1.52 HA), and the lowest was in group IV (23.08 ± 2.6 HA). The results of the ANOVA test indicated the effect of adding (TiO2) on the hardness of the soft liners (p < 0.05). The LSD test showed significant differences between the control group and all of the treatment groups. The addition of 0.5%-2% (TiO2) concentrations to soft liners inhibited the growth of Candida albicans, while the 0.5% concentration showed the smallest change in surface hardness.

Abstract

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the gingival tissue and the underlying structures. Risk factors play a role in both the initiation and development of periodontal disease. It is important to know the risk factors for periodontal disease to prevent the occurrence of more widespread periodontal disease. Based on the 2018 Riskesdas, the prevalence of dental and oral health problems in Banten was 62.8%. This study aims to determine the prevalence and potential risk factors for periodontal disease among adults aged 35-54 years in Banten. This research was an observational descriptive study with a cross-sectional design using secondary data from the 2018 Riskesdas (National Basic Health Research) in Banten. We used total sampling method in this study. Information was processed using SPSS software, and data was presented in tables containing frequencies and percentages. The total number of respondents aged 35-54 years in Banten was 6,755. One thousand eight hundred and sixty-six respondents met the inclusion criteria, while 595 respondents were excluded due to missing data. Thus, 1,271 respondents were obtained and became the research subjects. The majority of respondents were female (64.4%), had low educational level (61.2%), employed (62.6%), brushed their teeth at the wrong time (99.2%), did not smoke (65.9%), did not chew tobacco (96.5%), were obese (51.4%), and did not suffer from diabetes mellitus (95.6%) and hypertension (82.2%). The prevalence of periodontal disease in these respondents was 27.6%. Potential risk factors for periodontal disease among adults aged 35-54 years in Banten include a high degree of education, employment status, smoking behavior, inappropriate toothbrushing time, and obesity.

Abstract

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the periodontal tissues initiated by increased proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α due to the induction of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg). This study aimed to analyze the effect of vitamin D (cholecalciferol) on TNF-α serum level in Wistar rats stimulated with Pg to induce periodontitis. Twenty-seven male Wistar rats (n = 27) were divided into three equal groups. Group I was healthy Wistar rats that received 2000 IU vitamin D once a day. Group II was Wistar rats stimulated with Pg and received 2000 IU vitamin D, while group III was Wistar rats stimulated with Pg but did not receive vitamin D. Blood was collected through the orbital sinus and centrifuged to get the serum. TNF-α serum levels were assessed using Elisa method on the 7th, 14th, and 28th. The data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The mean TNF-α data was analyzed for differences between groups using the one-way ANOVA and LSD post hoc test. Significant differences were seen in group II (418.49 ± 161.08 ng/mL) and group III (172.16 ± 104.18 ng/mL) on the 28th day (p = 0.001). The findings suggest that vitamin D inhibits the TNF-α serum level in Wistar rats stimulated with Pg on the 28th day.

Abstract

Skeletal malocclusion is caused by a disproportion of the maxilla and mandible, which leads to an unharmonious facial profile. Straight, convex, and concave soft tissue profiles may serve as a guide to determine the underlying skeletal relations and location of the jaws from the anteroposterior plane. In this study, Subtelny’s cephalometric analysis of the skeletal and soft tissue profile is used to evaluate the facial profile convexity and is divided into three parts, which are the skeletal profile convexity, soft tissue profile convexity, and total soft tissue profile convexity. The purpose of this study is to determine the degree of facial profile convexity according to Subtelny’s analysis in patients aged 6 to 12 years at Faculty of Dentistry Dental Hospital of Trisakti University. This was a descriptive observational study using samples of cephalograms of 40 patients aged 6 to 12 years. Cephalometry tracing and identification of anatomical landmarks were done to acquire the facial profile convexity degrees. The anatomical landmarks used were nasion, A-point, pogonion, soft tissue nasion, subnasale, pronasale, and soft tissue pogonion. The results of this study found that the average degree of the skeletal profile convexity was 171.26°, the soft tissue profile convexity was 166.18°, and the total soft tissue profile convexity was 144.83°. The degrees of skeletal profile convexity, soft tissue profile convexity, and total soft tissue profile convexity could be influenced by age, gender, and differences in growth and changes in the skeletal and facial soft tissue structures.

Abstract

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a widely used food additive that enhances flavor. However, excessive MSG intake during pregnancy and lactation may pose health risks to both the mother and the developing fetus, particularly in terms of tooth and bone development. This study aimed to investigate the effect of maternal oral administration of MSG during pregnancy and lactation on calcium levels in the teeth and alveolar bones of rat offspring. This research is a laboratory experiment with a post-test-only control group design. Thirty pregnant Sprague Dawley rats were randomly allocated into three groups: a control group receiving distilled water and two treatment groups receiving MSG at doses of 3 mg/g BW and 6 mg/g BW, respectively. MSG was administered orally from the 5th day of pregnancy until the end of the lactation period. The calcium levels in the teeth and alveolar bones of the offspring were measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc LSD. The mean calcium levels in the teeth and alveolar bones of the offspring in the MSG treatment groups were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The reduction in calcium levels was dose-dependent, with the higher MSG dose (6 mg/g BW) resulting in a more pronounced decrease compared to the lower dose (3 mg/g BW). Maternal MSG intake during pregnancy and lactation leads to a dose-dependent decrease in calcium levels in rat offspring’s teeth and alveolar bones, suggesting that excessive MSG intake during these critical periods potentially leads to impaired tooth and bone development.

Abstract

Dental and oral therapists are medical workers who work in dental hospitals and play an important role in improving dental and oral health with members of work teams, such as dentists and other medical workers. Factors which influence their performance include motivation and work environment. The present study aims to determine the relation between motivation and work environment of dental and oral therapists working in dental hospitals. The present study was mix method research with explanatory sequential design and used total sampling method. The research subjects were 30 dental and oral therapist respondents who worked in 2 dental hospitals. A total of 19 participants worked at Prof. Soedomo Dental Hospital of Universitas Gadjah Mada, while eleven participants worked at Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta University Dental Hospital. The independent variables were motivation and physical and non-physical work environments. The dependent variable was performance of dental and oral therapist. The measurement was a questionnaire about motivation, and physical and non-physical work environments. Data analysis was conducted using a quantitative parametric measure of Pearson’s correlation test because the data was normally distributed, while qualitative analysis used interview. We found that there was no relation between motivation and performance (p > 0.05), no relation between non-physical work environment and performance (p > 0.05), and no relation between physical work environment and performance (p > 0.05). Qualitative results based on interviews with the dental and oral therapists showed that they had high motivation because they were proud, and they had good perception of the non-physical work environment due to solid work team. They also had good perception of the physical work environment because it was comfortable and had good facilities. Overall, motivation and work environment do not affect the performance of dental and oral therapists working in dental hospitals.

Abstract

Broken files in the root canal system which are not removed may interfere with thorough cleaning of the root canals. As a result, they cannot be hermetically obturated. This imperfect cleaning can leave necrotic tissue which can potentially cause failure in root canal treatment. The purpose of this paper is to describe the management of retrieval of broken files and re-treating root canals in previously treated mandibular left second molars. The retrieval of the broken file used conventional techniques combined with a Satelec ultrasonic scaler to remove the files from the root canal. It was operated under an endodontic microscope, and after retreatment of the root canal, the tooth was restored with final restoration of endocrown. Retrieval of fractured files using conventional techniques combined with Satelec ultrasonic scaler and the root canal re-treatment followed by final endocrown restoration could restore all four tooth functions properly.

Abstract

Enterococcus faecalis is the main pathogenic bacterium in the root canal which is resistant to various antibacterial agents. Recently, the discovery of a new antibacterial agent research focus in herbal dentistry, one of which is basil leaves. Basil (kemangi) leaves (Ocimum basilicum) are herbs that have various active components as anti-biofilm agents. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of antibacterial potential of O. basilicum extract against the biofilm formation by E. faecalis. This research uses true experimental laboratory design. The kemangi leaves were gradually extracted with various polarity based organic solvents (n-hexane and ethyl acetate). The evaluation of the anti-biofilm activity of the extracts against E. faecalis aimed to determine the minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) and minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) values. Calcium hydroxide paste (calcipex) was used as a positive control. The assay data were analyzed using an independent paired T-test. Ethyl acetate, n-hexane extract of O. basilicum, and calcipex inhibited biofilm formation by E. faecalis with MBIC values of 100%, 100%, and 75.20% at the concentrations of 2.5%, 10%, and 3.13%, respectively. The MBEC values were 100%, 100%, and 71.01% at the concentrations of 5%, 2.5%, and 3.13%, respectively. The statistical analysis by ANOVA test on MBIC and MBEC showed significant differences with p-values < 0.05. Further statistical valuation with post hoc analysis showed highly significant differences with p-values < 0.01. This study has found that O. basilicum leaves extracts have the capacity and ability to inhibit and eradicate E. faecalis biofilms.
