Abstract

Background: Elderly  is one of the phases in human life. There are several changes in body and organ function, one of which is a decrease in oral cavity function such as decreased saliva production. Decreased salivary secretion will cause poor oral conditions. One way to prevent this is by doing facial exercises. Facial exercises can stimulate salivary secretion and oral functionMethod: Quasi experimental research method with one group pre test post test design. The sampling technique used Purposive sampling with a total sample of 78 samples where the subject spat saliva 2 times before facial exercise, then performed facial exercise, the subject fasted for one hour and the subject was asked to spit saliva again 2 times.Result: The results of this study were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test. The gender of the respondents was mostly female as many as 68 people (86.1%), while male respondents were 11 people (13.9%), the average age of respondents in this study was 65 years old with the most respondents aged 68 years, the average salivary secretion before facial exercise 1.11 ml and the average after facial exercise 1.62 ml the results of statistical analysis of significance p value 0.001 (p < 0.05) showed a significant difference between the amount of salivary secretion before and after doing facial exercise.Conclusion: The   conclusion  of   this   study  is   that   facial  exercise  has an  effect on  increasing the  amount of salivary secretion in elderly.

Abstract

Background: Condylar fractures are among the most common mandibular fractures resulting from maxillofacial trauma, primarily caused by traffic accidents, occupational injuries, and sports activities. These fractures can lead to complications such as pain, mandibular deviation, malocclusion, and pathological changes in the temporomandibular joint. This study aims to identify the characteristics of condylar fractures in the Oral Surgery Department of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung from 2020 to 2024.Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted using medical records of maxillofacial trauma patients. A total of 111 cases were analyzed based on gender, age, occupation, education level, fracture classification, trauma etiology, and management.Result: Results showed that the majority of patients were male (72%), aged 13–24 years (48,6%), students (51,3%), and had a bachelor’s degree as the educational background (49,6%). The AO classification predominantly involved condylar neck fractures (52,3%), with traffic accidents being the leading cause (51,4%). The most common management method was open reduction and interdental wiring (76,6%). Conclusion: These findings highlight the need for targeted road safety education, strict traffic regulations, and improved preventive measures to reduce the incidence of such injuries. Therefore, an effort must be made to improve the completeness of medical record data in order to support more accurate analysis and the implementation of future research involving more comprehensive data collection.

Abstract

Background: Calcium hydroxide is a material that is widely used in pulp capping treatment. However, the use of this material causes tunnel defects due to the large absorption of calcium. This can be manipulated by creating an encapsulation formula. Stichopus hermanii is a marine biota that contains lots of hyaluronic acid and can be used as an encapsulation material which also plays a role in cell regeneration. The characteristics of the microencapsulated calcium hydroxide preparation with Stichopus hermanii as pulp capping material through an in vitro study.Method: Stichopus hermanii was made freeze dry and dissolved with 1% acetic acid to obtain a gel concentration of 0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.8%. Next, calcium hydroxide powder is added with a ratio of 1: 6 and tripolyphospate (TPP) is added as a cross-linker agent and the mixture is stirred until homogeneous. The test material formed was subjected to SEM, PSA and cytotoxicity tests.Result: The cytotoxicity test showed that all of the test materials (0.2%; 0.4%; 0.8%) were not toxic, especially at a concentration of 0.2%. The PSA test results indicate that this encapsulation shows the micro particle size formed. The SEM test shows a rough and stringy surface shape, where at a concentration of 0.2%, a smoother morphological formation is found.Conclusion: The in vitro study showed that the microencapsulation of calcium hydroxide with Stichopus hermanii as a pulp capping material showed the characteristics of the non-toxic material, the micro size and the rough and fibrous surface shape.

Abstract

Background: Two ancient skeletons (Subang Men) were excavated at the Subanglarang site, Subang Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The partial jaw containing set of teeth from the two skeletons was examined to determine the level of dental attrition present which was then used to estimate age at death.Objective: The aim of this study was therefore to determine the pattern of attrition on the molar teeth and use this to estimate the age at death of the Subang Men.Methods: The pattern of attrition in each cusp of the first molar (M1) and second molar (M2) was examined clinically and then compared with the Average Stage of Attrition (ASA) method. Estimated age was then estimated using formula that are outlined in the Average Stage of Attrition (ASA) method.Results: The results showed that the level of attrition that occurred in the M1 and M2 teeth of the two ancient man was significant. The estimated age at death calculated based on the attrition pattern of molar teeth for skeleton 1 was 38.9 and skeleton 2 was 61.9-64.6.Conclusion: Dental attrition which is caused by physiologic and pathologic teeth friction is related to age. Therefore, age estimation can be determined based on the attrition pattern that occurs in the teeth.

Abstract

Background: Post-endodontic restoration with deep subgingival marginsbeyond the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) is a challenge in itself. Thiscondition can cause difficulties in insulation with rubber dams, molding, andrestoration cementing. The subgingival margin is also at risk of triggeringgingival inflammation and invasion of biological width (BW) due to its proximityto the alveolar bone. Surgical crown lengthening (CL) is often recommended torestore the ideal distance of the BW, but the procedure is invasive. As a moreconservative alternative, Deep Margin Elevation (DME) allows elevation of thesubgingival to supragingiva margin to improve the integrity of the restorationwithout invading the BW.Case report: The first case on the interproximal teeth 24 and 25 (BoneSounding: 1mm) was performed CL by the Periodontics department prior tocrown preparation, after previously undergoing endodontic and post fibertreatment in the Dental Conservation department. The second case was in 36previously treated teeth (Bone Sounding: 2mm) with deep subgingival margins,DME was performed using a high-filler composite resin prior to onlayrestoration. Both procedures were carried out at RSKGM FKG UI.Conclusion: Proper indication for CL and DME at the deep subgingival margincan improve the optimization of periodontal health and the integrity of postendodontic restoration.

Abstract

Background: This study discusses the use of coil heads in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology to diagnose Temporomandibular Joint Disc Dislocation (TMJ). TMJ disc dislocation is a common condition of the temporomandibular joint that can hurt a person's jaw and make it difficult for them to open their mouth fully. This study sought to assess the effectiveness of MRI with coil heads performed in locating and diagnosing TMJ disc dislocations. Method: Analytic observational with cross-sectional design. A diagnostic test to assess the validity of MRI. Predictor analysis was performed using a multivariate logistic regression test. Result: This study shows disparities in the findings of MRI and RDC tests for detecting temporomandibular joint disc dislocations. Clinical complaints have a strong correlation with disc displacement on MRI and RDC. In the MRI, disc dislocation was significantly correlated with all panoramic examination factors. Only the impaction variable in RDC significantly influences disc dislocation. Asymmetrical condyle position on panoramic inspection and complaints present for more than a year on physical examination indicate disc dislocation. These findings imply that MRI is more effective at identifying displaced temporomandibular joint discs, leading to a more precise diagnosis. Conclusion: The diagnosis of TMJ disc dislocations often involves MRI with coil heads. Medical practitioners can more easily spot disc abnormalities or changes in position thanks to this technology, which offers an accurate and thorough image of the temporomandibular joint's anatomy
