Abstract

Background: Health is the most important aspect of human life, both physically and mentally. Oral and dental health plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's functional balance. Tooth loss can disrupt chewing, nutrition, and overall quality of life. However, it can be managed with the use of dentures. One of the challenges in dental impression-taking is the gag reflex, which can be minimized by selecting the appropriate impression tray and optimizing the setting time of alginate. Innovations such as temperature sensors for real-time monitoring and music therapy can enhance accuracy and patient comfort.Method: This study employs the Research and Development (R&D) method, which involves stages of information gathering, product design, expert validation, and product testing. The research respondents consist of operators (medical personnel) who perform dental impressions. Data is analyzed using statistical tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed device.Result: The research results indicate that the use of Smart Dental Impression Trays significantly enhances operator satisfaction, with a mean score of 4.80 ± 0.422 compared to the control group at 3.60 ± 0.699 (p-value = 0.001).Conclusion: Smart Dental Impression Trays are effective in enhancing operator satisfaction during the dental impression procedure. This innovation has the potential to be a solution for dental healthcare services in improving the quality of dental impressions.Keywords: Smart dental impression trays, operator satisfaction, temperature sensor, relaxation music

Abstract

Background: Enterococcus faecalis is frequently associated with persistent root canal infections due to its ability to form resistant biofilms. However, evidence regarding the antibiofilm activity of specific plant-derived fractions, particularly the ethyl acetate fraction of coriander seeds (Coriandrum sativum), remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of this fraction on E. faecalis ATCC 29212 biofilm formation.Method: Dried coriander seeds were extracted using ethanol and subsequently fractionated with ethyl acetate to obtain the active fraction. Biofilm inhibition was assessed using a 96-well polystyrene microplate assay after exposure to various concentrations. Calcium hydroxide was used as a control. Biofilm biomass was quantified by measuring optical density (OD). Each group was tested in five replicates (n=5). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA followed by a Bonferroni post-hoc test.Result: All tested materials exhibited inhibitory activity against E. faecalis biofilms. Calcium hydroxide showed the highest mean inhibition (69.41%), while the 16% concentration of coriander seed ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated the strongest activity among the experimental groups (64.89%). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between concentration groups (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The ethyl acetate fraction of coriander seeds demonstrated concentration-dependent antibiofilm activity against E. faecalis ATCC 29212 in vitro. Higher concentrations showed greater inhibitory effects, however, further studies are required to confirm its clinical applicability.

Abstract

Background: Ameloblastoma, the most prevalent odontogenic tumor (40–50% of occurences worldwide), displays locally aggressive characteristics and a significant recurrence rate after incomplete excision, predominantly in the posterior mandible. Population studies show differences in histopathology and demographics. The follicular subtype is the most common, and 60–80% of people who have conservative treatment will have a recurrence. While the characteristics of the plexiform variant require elucidation, aggressive resection mitigates risk. This study examines the location, management, histopathology, and demographics of plexiform ameloblastoma cases at the oral surgery department of Hasan Sadikin Hospital between 2020 and 2024.Method: A retrospective analysis utilized the medical records of patients diagnosed with plexiform-type ameloblastoma. We looked at 41 cases and looked at things like age, gender, where the tumor was, what treatment was given, and how often it came back.Result: The majority of the patients were between the ages of 21 and 30 (29.3%), with an average age of 37. More than half of them were women (53.7% vs. 46.3%). The mandible was involved in 92.7% of cases, mostly in the back. Segmental resection (39.0%) and hemimandibulectomy (39.0%) were the most common radical surgeries. Patients who received radical treatment did not exhibit any recurrences during follow-up; cases managed conservatively (enucleation/curettage) are currently under observation. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the necessity for appropriate management of plexiform-type ameloblastoma to reduce the likelihood of recurrence and enhance patients' quality of life. Consequently, additional research involving larger sample sizes and extended follow-up durations is essential to assess the recurrence risk and the efficacy of each treatment modality.

Abstract

Background: Traumatic oral ulcers are common lesions characterized by epithelial loss, pain, and erythematous halos. Healing occurs through four stages: haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling. Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) is known for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of licorice extract at various concentrations on macrophage, neutrophil, and lymphocyte cell counts during traumatic ulcer healing.Methods: A post-test only group design was used with five groups: three treatment groups receiving 5%, 10%, and 15% licorice extract, and two control groups (positive: Aloclair; negative: aquadest), each with six mice. Ulcers were induced using a heated burnisher on the labial mucosa. Treatments were applied twice daily using a nano mouth spray. After euthanasia, labial tissues were fixed, processed, and stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin for histological examination under 400× magnification.Result: Phytochemical analysis revealed high flavonoid (44.669) and saponin (38.802) contents in licorice extract. Statistical tests showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in macrophage, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts among groups. The 10% extract group showed the highest immune cell response, suggesting optimal anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects at this concentration.Conclusion: Licorice extract effectively promotes the healing of traumatic oral ulcers. Among tested concentrations, the 10% extract provided the best therapeutic effect, accelerating healing and regulating inflammatory cell activity more effectively than other doses or controls.

Abstract

Background: Hypoestrogen is characterized with lower level of estrogen hormone that affects wound healing following tooth extraction. In a hypoestrogenic condition, the post-extraction healing prosses is marked by the osteoblasts count, increased activation of osteoclasts, and suppressed the neocapillaries count. Fenugreek seeds with compounds such as diosgenin, quercetin, galactomannan, trigonellin and lupeol can potentially stimulate osteoblasts formation, suppress the number of osteoclasts cells, and increase the neocapillaries count. Purpose: To evaluate the influence of Fenugreek seed extract (FSE) on administration on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and neocapillaries count in the post-extraction socket of hypoestrogenic rat teeth.Methods: True experimental study and the design that was used is Post Test Only Control Group Design. Female Wistar rats were used as experimental subjects and assigned to two untreated control groups and three treatment groups receiving fenugreek seed extract at doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kgBW. The right maxillae of rats euthanized on days 3, 7, and 30 were processed into histological sections, stained with hematoxylin–eosin (H&E), and examined under a microscope at 400× magnification across ten fields of view. Results: This study was analyzed using the Tukey post-hoc test demonstrated statistically significant differences in osteoblast numbers, osteoclast counts, and neocapillary density (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Fenugreek seed extract affects increasing the osteoblasts, decreasing the osteoclasts, and enhance neocapillary development following tooth extraction in hypoestrogenic White Wistar rats.

Abstract

Background: Chi-AgNPs (chitosan–silver nanoparticles) are antibacterial biomaterials with good biocompatibility potential, but their toxicity to osteoblastic cells still needs to be studied. This study aims to analyze the effect of Chi-AgNPs synthesized using Clinacanthus nutans extract on the viability of MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast cells at several concentrations to determine the safe concentration limit for their use.Method:  This laboratory experimental study used MC3T3-E1 cells exposed to Chi-AgNPs at concentrations of 12.5 µg/mL, 25 µg/mL, and 50 µg/mL, with a control group as a comparison. Cell viability was measured using the WST assay after 24 hours of incubation, then analyzed using the ANOVA test to see the differences between groups. Result: The results showed that a concentration of 12.5 µg/mL increased the average viability value by 30.8%, while a concentration of 25 µg/mL did not show a significant difference in cell viability compared to the control. Conversely, a concentration of 50 µg/mL caused a significant decrease in viability (p < 0.05), indicating toxicity related to the release of Ag⁺ ions and increased oxidative stress due to the small size of the nanoparticles (20 ± 3.93 nm). Conclusion: Chi-AgNPs are safe and biocompatible with MC3T3-E1 cells at concentrations below 25 µg/mL
