Abstract

Background: Bone regeneration remains a critical challenge in tissue engineering, with current solutions such as autografts and allografts facing limitations in availability, cost, and biocompatibility. Bioactive glass fiber-reinforced composites (BGFRC) have emerged as a promising alternative, combining the bioactivity of bioactive glass with the mechanical strength of fiber-reinforced materials.Methods: This literature review synthesizes findings from 46 recent journal articles and books on bioactive glass, bioactive glass fibers, and BGFRC. The review focuses on material composition, mechanical properties, fabrication techniques, and biological interactions. Key aspects include the role of bioactive glass in promoting osteointegration and the reinforcement provided by glass fibers to enhance mechanical performance.Results: BGFRC exhibits superior bioactivity by forming a hydroxyapatite layer upon exposure to physiological fluids, facilitating strong bonding with bone tissue. The release of therapeutic ions stimulates osteogenesis and angiogenesis, promoting bone regeneration. The incorporation of glass fibers significantly improves mechanical properties, including compressive strength and fracture toughness, making BGFRC suitable for load-bearing applications. Advancements in fabrication techniques such as sol-gel processing and 3D printing allow for precise control over porosity and degradation rates, optimizing scaffold design for clinical applications.Conclusion: BGFRC represents a highly promising material for bone tissue engineering due to its enhanced bioactivity, mechanical reinforcement, and biocompatibility. Future research should focus on optimizing composite formulations and exploring clinical applications to further validate their effectiveness in bone regeneration.

Abstract

Background: Caries is the most common oral disease. Streptococcus mutans is the main microorganism in caries etiology due to its ability to form biofilm. Biofilm can be eliminated using mouthwash. Elephant ginger (Zingiber officinale var. officinale) can be developed as a herbal mouthwash because it is able to inhibit S. mutans. This study aimed to analyze pH and antibiofilm effect in vitro of elephant ginger mouthwash formulations on S. mutans. Method: Elephant ginger was macerated with 96% ethanol, then formulated into 2.5%, 5%, 10%, and 15% mouthwash formulations, underwent pH measurement for 28 days, and their antibiofilm effect on S. mutans were measured using microplate reader for 1h (therapeutic assay) and 24h (preventive assay). Result: All formulations showed pH values ranging from 6.42-6.87, changing significantly within 28 days. All formulations were able to reduce S. mutans biofilm adherence for 1h better than commercialized herbal mouthwash and similar to 0.1% CHX. Furthermore, 5% and 10% mouthwash formulations showed similar effectivity to 0.1% CHX and commercialized herbal mouthwash in inhibiting S. mutans biofilm formation for 24h, while 15% mouthwash formulation was more effective than 0.1% CHX and similar to commercialized herbal mouthwash, and 2.5% mouthwash formulation was less effective than 0.1% CHX and commercialized herbal mouthwash. Conclusion: Elephant ginger mouthwash formulations showed pH values that were likely to decrease for 28 days and had the potential as an herbal mouthwash due to its antibiofilm effect on S. mutans.

Abstract

Background: The poor condition of the visually impaired’s mouth is in consequence of unsupervised brushing teeth, technical errors in brushing the teeth, motor skill and guidance that are still neglected. To overcome these things, it requires special media namely braille media and an innovative technique known as audio tactile technique. Methods: This study used quasi-experimental method with pre-test and post-test one group design which population and sample were visually impaired children in Special Needs School: Rehabilitation Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired (SLB-A PRPCN) Palembang. The total of the sample was 21 children which divided into three treatment groups (Braille 3G Media, Audio Tactile, and Braille 3G Modified Audio Tactile). The status of Dental and Oral Health of children was assessed by using plaque score assessment in the form of Patient Hygiene Performance Index for one month and two month with Anova-test analysis. Results: The result shows that there is a very striking difference in plaque after one month (0.019) and after two months (0.030). Further analysis with the Post Hoc test shows that the groups that differed significantly in the plaque index after one month and two months are braille with modification and audio tactile with modification. Conclusion: From the evidence, we can see that the braille 3G modified audio tactile media is more effective in reducing the plaque index because it can improve the dental health status of visually impaired children.

Abstract

Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the tissues supporting the teeth, destroying the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. This condition is initiated by periodontal pathogens, which trigger an immune response resulting in tissue damage. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, particularly IL-6, have an important role in this process. IL-6, produced by various cells, including immune and periodontal ligament cells, enhances osteoclastogenesis by enhancing RANKL expression, thereby promoting bone resorption. Conversely, IGF-1, a hormone like insulin, is critical in bone homeostasis and regeneration. IGF-1, synthesised in the liver and locally in tissues, aids in the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, facilitating bone remodelling. IGF-1 also interacts with IL-6 to modulate inflammatory responses and osteoclast activity. Understanding the interplay between IL-6 and IGF-1 offers insights into the mechanism of bone resorption in periodontitis and identifies potential therapeutic targets. This study aims to elucidate the roles of IL-6 and IGF-1 in periodontitis-induced bone resorption and explore their therapeutic implications for periodontal health.

Abstract

In this study, an adult rat's calvaria was used to examine craniofacial anatomical landmarks of maxilla and mandible using Micro-Computed Tomography (micro-CT) as the marker of craniofacial growth and development in rat. It is used to assist research, translating landmark points for diagnosis. Landmarks on the rat’s calvaria were determined to set the measurements of two specified points. One of the ways to validate craniofacial growth and development is to look at the differences between craniofacial before and after a specified period or treatment. With micro-CT analysis, the researchers are more precise in determining the difficult points in the cranium.The sample analysis was carried out and measured by DataViewer version 1.6.0.0 64-bit Application. CTVox version-3.3.1 64-bit is used to display 3D visuals. Reconstruction results after adjusting the data range were 30-255 (the color range 0-255). The machine used was Bruker SkyScan-1173 High Energy Micro-CT. Findings anatomical landmarks for the examples, the maxilla determined I for the point on premaxilla between jawbone and lingual surface of upper incisors. In the mandible, I’ for the most anterior edge of the alveolar bone on the convexity of the lower incisor. The unevenness of the cranium made manual measurements difficult and not possible. However, this micro-CT method makes the landmark point determination more detailed and dependable. This makes geometric measurements of craniofacial more reliable. Micro-CT analysis is a more dependable method to determine anatomical landmarks and measure craniofacial structures as the marker of craniofacial growth and development in rat.
