Abstract

Background: Root canal treatment is a dental procedure aimed at preserving teeth and roots that have been infected by bacteria, with the expectation of restoring the tooth’s normal function and aesthetics. The selection of an appropriate final restoration plays a significant role in supporting the success of root canal therapy.Method: A 22-year-old male patient presented to the conservative dentistry clinic with a chief complaint of a cavity in the lower right molar that had been present for the past two years. The patient reported experiencing pain one year ago when the tooth was used for chewing or exposed to sweet and cold stimuli, accompanied by swelling, but no treatment was sought at that time. Currently, the patient no longer experiences pain but feels discomfort due to food impaction in the cavity. The ICD-10 diagnosis for tooth 46 was necrosis of the pulp.Result: The patient reported comfort during mastication and expressed satisfaction with the final restoration. These findings indicate the clinical success of the endocrown restoration, achieving optimal retention, occlusal function, and esthetic outcome.Conclusion: Endocrowns preserve more remaining tooth structure and provide good marginal adaptation. One week after placement, the evaluation showed satisfactory marginal adaptation with no post-treatment complaints. Therefore, endocrowns can be considered a conservative, functional, and esthetic restorative option for endodontically treated posterior teeth.

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a recognized complication of pyelolithotomy along with multimorbidity in the elderly population, presents a higher incidence of oral lesions. Further damage to the renal vasculature interchangeably affects oral-systemic conditions. We report oral lesions management in MCC patient post-pyelolithotomy for better outcomes.  Case: A 65-year-old male patient complained of painful ulceration on the atrophic tongue for two weeks with a fair oral hygiene score. The condition had been managed with various topical agents alternately with no improvement. There was a history of pyelolithotomy and emergency room admission. Laboratory examination presented diabetes mellitus, stage 3B kidney disease and anemia of chronic disease. A diagnosis of ulcerative-type uremic stomatitis with atrophic glossitis in multimorbid patient was obtained. Pharmacotherapy of oral lesion including aloe vera extract mouthwash and povidone-iodine mouthwash showed improvement on the following day. Behavioural-modifying lifestyle involved physical activity, healthy eating, and adherence to treatment (oral hygiene maintenance and regular dental appointment). Systemic conditions were managed by multidiscipline treatment with Internal Medicine. Conclusion: Pharmacotherapy and behavioral modifying lifestyle may support a better prognosis for oral manifestation in multimorbid patient post pyelolithotomy

Abstract

Background: Young children in the second phase of mixed-dentition commonly have malocclusion due to crowding and bad habits. Without immediate treatment, malocclusion might cause caries. Risk variables can predict multifactorial caries. The application's "cariogram" can predict new caries. The purpose to report anterior and posterior crowded and tongue biting with myofunctional treatment and predict the occurrence of new caries with a "cariogram".Case Report: A 9-year-old girl came with complaints of large cavities in the lower teeth and teeth that grow crookedly. The results of the intra-oral examination showed multiple caries, pulp necrosis, anterior and posterior crowded, accompanied by bad habits of tongue biting. The results of panoramic X-ray examination showed all tooth buds and no abnormalities, cephalometric examination showed a class I skeletal pattern, retrognathic skeletal with retrusive mandible, mandibular growth vertically and downwards more than normal. The treatment performed is to predict the occurrence of new caries with a periodic "cariogram", fissure sealant, restoration on multiple caries, extraction on necrotic teeth, topical fluoride application, use of myobrace and routine check-ups.Conclusion: Preventing malocclusion and caries by treating crowded teeth and tongue biting. Correcting malocclusion requires myobrace and "cariogram" prediction of new caries.

Abstract

Background: Traumatic ulcers are common oral mucosal lesions causing discomfort, infection, and delayed healing. Conventional therapy is commonly used, but the use of herbal materials is expected to be an affordable and effective alternative therapy. Gelatin was chosen because it is a natural biomaterial rich in amino acids, which play a role in regulating inflammation and tissue regeneration, particularly in influencing the number of macrophages and lymphocytes in the inflammatory phase and fibroblast proliferation. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Pangasius djambal fish skin gelatin on the healing process of traumatic ulcers in Rattus norvegicus.Method: A Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) were used as research subjects. Traumatic ulcers were induced on the lower jaw labial mucosa using thermal trauma. Observations were made on days 3, 5, and 7. The number of macrophages, lymphocytes, and fibroblasts was counted using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining under a microscope at 400× magnification.Result: Based on the results of the One-way ANOVA parametric test, a value of (p < 0.05) was obtained, indicating a significant difference in the number of macrophages, lymphocytes, and fibroblasts between groups. Conclusion: Pangasius djambal skin gelatin can effect the healing process of traumatic ulcers in Rattus norvegicus.

Abstract

Introduction: Bisphosphonates are widely prescribed for osteoporosis, raising concerns regarding their potential impact on dental implant survival. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the association between bisphosphonate therapy and dental implant failure. Material and Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (ID: 1136620), electronic searches of ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, PubMed, MDPI, and Google Scholar were performed up to September 2025. Observational cohort studies comparing dental implant outcomes in bisphosphonate-exposed and non-exposed patient were included. Two reviewers performed data extraction and risk-of-bias assessment using the ROBINS-I. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) were calculated. Results: Six studies comprising 2,196 participants and 86 implant failures were included. Bisphosphonate exposure was associated with a significantly increased risk of implant failure (RR = 2.35; 95% CI, 1.24–4.44). with no heterogeneity (I² = 0%). Discussion: Despite the elevated relative risk, implant failure remained infrequent, resulting in a small absolute risk increase. The certainty of evidence was rated as moderate. Conclusion: Implant therapy should not be routinely avoided in bisphosphonate-treated patients, and individualized risk assessment is recommended. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify causality and patient-level risk modifiers.

Abstract

Background: Oral health problems in primary teeth include caries and tooth loss. Caries risk increases significantly during the mixed dentition. This study aims to compare tooth extraction and restoration for primary and mixed dentition teeth in the age range 4-11 years to determine the causes.Method: This research is a quantitative descriptive study. The design is comparative retrospective. In the data collection, the researchers used patient medical records from 2025 at Tisa Dental Care in Jakarta. The data collected from the medical records were analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS.Result: The prevalent clinical finding was pulp condition, then normal dental change, and caries. None of the children had superficial caries; restorations were more than extractions; restorations were mostly due to caries media and irreversible pulpitis; and extractions were mostly due to persistence.Conclusion: The findings indicate that restorations were more than extractions, except for the 10 to 11-year-old group. Restorations were mostly due to caries media and irreversible pulpitis. Extractions were mostly due to persistence. No diagnosis for superficial caries indicates that parents checked their children's teeth when the problems were severe and the conditions were persistent.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is a multifactorial disease that is a health problem in children. Children 5-9 years old have the highest caries prevalence. Untreated dental caries can be measured using the PUFA/pufa index. Sungai Kupang Village has acidic water with pH values ranging from 3.09-6.45 and an iron (Fe) content above the maximum allowable level of 1.044mm/ltr. Most people use wetland water in their daily lives, including for gargling after brushing their teeth. Brushing teeth with acidic water can reduce the surface hardness of tooth enamel, thereby increasing the risk of dental caries. Method: The study used a descriptive, cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The sample of 148 children aged 5-9 years was visually examined with a dental mirror to assess the severity of dental caries using PUFA/pufa index criteria, including pulp involvement (P/p), ulceration (U/u), fistula (F/f), and Abscess (A/a). The research data were analyzed descriptively and presented as frequencies, percentages, and average PUFA/pufa. Result: PUFA/pufa index of untreated dental caries in the form of pulp involvement (P/p) was 3.0; ulceration (U/u) was 0.06; fistula (F/f) was 0.1, and abscess (A/a) was 0.02. The caries severity of untreated dental caries based on the PUFA/pufa index was 3.1. The 7-year-old age group and female gender had the highest average PUFA index. Conclusion: According to the average PUFA/pufa index, children 7 years old and female have the most severe untreated dental caries.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Kehilangan gigi tetap menjadi salah satu kondisi kesehatan mulut yang paling umum yang mempengaruhi lansia dan dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan fisik serta fungsi sehari-hari. Berkurangnya jumlah gigi asli dapat mengganggu pengunyahan, membuat konsumsi makanan menjadi kurang efektif dan berpotensi memberikan kontribusi pada terjaganya nutrisi dan kualitas hidup yang lebih buruk. Mengingat semakin banyaknya lansia yang mengalami kehilangan gigi di Indonesia, pemahaman tentang hubungan ini sangat penting untuk mendukung penuaan yang sehat.Metode: Studi potong lintang dilakukan pada 71 orang dewasa berusia 55–75 tahun yang mengunjungi Klinik Terpadu RSGM Unimus. Partisipan dipilih menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Kehilangan gigi diukur melalui pemeriksaan intraoral, status gizi dievaluasi menggunakan Indeks Massa Tubuh (BMI), dan kualitas hidup diukur dengan Indeks Penilaian Kesehatan Mulut Geriatrik (GOHAI). Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik univariat, uji korelasi peringkat Spearman, dan regresi logistik ordinal.Hasil: Kehilangan gigi parah teridentifikasi pada 43,7% peserta, sementara 42,3% mengalami kekurangan gizi dan 45,1% melaporkan kualitas hidup yang buruk. Asosiasi signifikan yang diamati antara kehilangan gigi dan status gizi serta kualitas hidup (p<0,05). Analisis multivariat mengkonfirmasi bahwa kehilangan gigi merupakan prediktor signifikan dari status gizi (p=0,000) dan kualitas hidup (p=0,001). Model regresi menunjukkan daya penjelas yang kuat, dengan nilai R² Nagelkerke masing-masing sebesar 0,864 dan 0,893.Kesimpulan: Kehilangan gigi berhubungan signifikan dengan status gizi dan kualitas hidup pada lansia. Individu dengan kehilangan gigi cenderung mengalami masalah gizi dan kualitas hidup yang lebih buruk, yang menyoroti pentingnya menjaga kesehatan mulut sebagai bagian dari perawatan lansia yang komprehensif.
