Abstract

The mandibular third molar (38/48) is the tooth with the highest prevalence of impact. Impacted teeth 38 and 48 often cause pathological complications that require extraction; and for that it is very important considering the level of difficulty. This study aims to determine the level of difficulty of extraction of the impacted third molar tooth through panoramic radiography using the Pederson Scoring System (PSS). This observational study involved 91 panoramic radiographs from patients > 20 years old with lower third molar teeth that had an impact at RSGMP University of Jember, patient data on radiographs is complete, coverage (region of interest / ROI) is sufficient and visual quality is good. The level of extraction difficulty was assessed using PSS, and categorized into low, medium and high. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. This study used 144 impacted lower third molars from 91 patients; 61 from male and 83 from females; 73 teeth (50.69%) occurred in the right region and 71 teeth (49.31%) occurred in the left region. In male samples, 31 teeth (50.82%) occurred in the right region and 30 teeth (49.18%) occurred in the left region; Meanwhile, in the female sample, 43 teeth (51.81%) occurred in the right region and 40 teeth (48.19%) occurred in the left region. Based on PSS index, 4.86% had a low risk of extraction difficulty, 65.28% moderate and 29.86% high.The conclusion of this study is that the level of difficulty in extracting mandibular third molars at RSGMP Jember University is mostly (65%) moderate difficulty

Abstract

Saliva plays a vital role in maintaining oral health through its cleansing, buffering, and remineralization functions. Children aged 11–12 years are at high risk of dental caries due to the frequent consumption of sugary foods and inadequate oral hygiene practices. Adequate saliva production and stable pH are key factors in preventing caries. Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.), a plant rich in fiber and sucrose, has the potential to increase saliva volume and pH through mechanical stimulation. This study aims to evaluate the effects of chewing sugarcane on saliva volume and pH in children aged 11–12 years. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The sample consisted of 45 elementary school students who met the inclusion criteria. The intervention involved chewing 50 grams of sugarcane for 5 minutes. Saliva volume was measured using the draining method, while saliva pH was assessed using a pH meter. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon statistical test. The results showed that the average saliva volume significantly increased from 0.94 ± 0.81 mL to 2.41 ± 1.86 mL (p < 0.05). However, the change in saliva pH from 7.07 ± 0.28 to 7.1 ± 0.47 was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). In conclusion, chewing sugarcane effectively increases saliva volume but does not significantly affect saliva pH. Sugarcane has potential as a natural material to enhance saliva production, which can support oral hygiene. However, the sucrose content in sugarcane should be considered due to its potential for bacterial fermentation. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effects of chewing sugarcane on overall oral health.

Abstract

Essential oils are widely incorporated into dental materials to enhance their antibacterial properties, including patchouli essential oil (PEO) derived from Pogostemon cablin Benth. PEO contains bioactive compounds such as Patchouli Alcohol (PA), phenols, steroids, and terpenoids, which contribute to its antimicrobial activity. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of PEO addition on the setting time of glass ionomer cement (GIC). Twenty cylindrical GIC specimens (2 mm × 10 mm) were tested using Vicat’s needle and divided into four groups based on the powder:PEO:liquid ratios: Group A (control), Group B (2:1:1), Group C (3:1:2), and Group D (3:2:1). Data were analysed using One-Way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (p < 0.05). The addition of PEO to GIC’s liquid is significant (p < 0,05)  decreased the setting time of group B, C, and D. Modifying GIC with PEO showed a significant decrease in setting time in group B with a comparison ratio (2 : 1 : 1). All results remained within ISO 9917-1:2007 limits. Further studies are needed to assess long-term stability and mechanical performance.

Abstract

Background: The elderly population in Indonesia is estimated to increase to 2.1 billion by 2050. The increase in the number of elderly people causes an increase in problems due to aging. The elderly experience decreased cell function which cases physical limitations, especially in brushing their teeth. Tooth loss can also reduce the motivation of the elderly to brush their teeth. Physical limitations and decreased motivation affect tooth-brushing behavior, resulting in poor oral hygiene status. Other conditions that cause poor oral hygiene in the elderly are systemic diseases and medication use. Purpose: To determine the correlation between tooth brushing behavior and oral hygiene status in the elderly in Bantul in 2024 (Study at the Budi Luhur Nursing Home and the Madania Foundation). Method: This type of research is observational analytic with a cross-sectional design. This study took place in July 2024 and the research subjects were 42 people aged ≥ 60 years selected using total sampling. Tooth brushing behavior was measured using a questionnaire of knowledge, attitudes, and actions while oral hygiene status was measured using the Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHIS). Data analysis used the Chi-Square test. Result: The study found a significant correlation (p<0,05) between tooth brushing  knowledge, attitude, action, and behaviour toward oral hygiene status. Conclusion: There is a correlation between tooth brushing knowledge, attitude, action, and behavior toward oral hygiene status in the elderly in Bantul Yogyakarta (Study at Budi Luhur Nursing Home and Madania Foundation)

Abstract

Health promotion in elementary school age is an ideal time to train motor skills and improve children's cognition. The success of dental health promotion is influenced by the presence of interesting game media used by dental and oral therapists as the main competency in promotive efforts. Health workers are expected to be able to use media appropriately, be able to design and produce game media. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the use of promotional media by dental and oral therapists in Kupang City in improving elementary school children's knowledge about dental health. The research method used in the study was Quasi Experiment with a two group pre-test and post-test design. Sampling was carried out using multistage cluster random sampling with a sample size of 220 children in 11 elementary schools fostered by UKGS from 11 health centers throughout Kupang City. The sample was divided into 2 groups, namely 110 children who used media provided by dental and oral therapists as the control group and 110 children who used puzzle game media provided by researchers as the treatment group. The knowledge variable was measured using a questionnaire, most of the data were not normally distributed so data analysis was carried out using Mann-Whitney. The results of the analysis of differences using the Mann-Whitney Test at pre-post 2 showed a significant increase in knowledge in both groups. The mean value in the control group was 184.72 lower than the treatment group of 256.28. This study concluded that puzzle game media is more effective in providing dental and oral health education to elementary school children compared to promotional media used by dental and oral therapists.

Abstract

Low utilization of dental services among pregnant women, ranging from 35.5% to 49%, is often caused by barriers such as cost, limited awareness, myths about oral health during pregnancy, and fears regarding dental treatment’s impact on the fetus. Local data from the prenatal class and dental clinic at Puskesmas Baki, Gedongan, Sukoharjo, indicate similarly low rates of dental check-ups. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the ‘Ibu Peri Cerita’ mobile application as a tool for self-screening and improving oral health knowledge during pregnancy. A pre-post test design was used with an experimental sample of 23 pregnant women, who were first asked to answer ten oral health knowledge questions.. Participants then used the application to perform a self-assessment and receive educational content, followed by a post-test. The results showed a notable increase in knowledge scores, with the average pre-test score at 4.61 improving to 6.48 post-intervention. Minimum scores increased from 1 to 4, and maximum scores from 8 to 9. These findings suggest that the ‘Ibu Peri Cerita’ application is effective in increasing oral health literacy among pregnant women. The improvement in awareness is expected to support better prenatal health outcomes and contribute to reducing the risk of low birth weight and stunting.

Abstract

Chemical cleaning of dentures using a denture cleanser is essential to prevent denture stomatitis—an infection of the oral mucosa caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus adhering to the denture base. One key component of denture cleansers is an antibacterial agent. Habbatussauda (Nigella sativa) contains antibacterial compounds that may serve as an alternative active ingredient in denture cleansers. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of effervescent tablets containing Habbatussauda extract as a denture cleanser in inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus growth on acrylic resin denture bases. The study employed a true experimental, post-test-only control group design, using 24 acrylic resin plates divided into six treatment groups: Habbatussauda extract concentrations of 9%, 12%, 15%, and 18%, along with positive and negative controls. Each plate was immersed in the respective Habbatussauda-based denture cleanser solution for 15 minutes. Researchers then counted the bacterial colonies using a colony counter. The Kruskal-Wallis test yielded a significant difference in colony counts (p < 0.05). Post hoc analysis with Bonferroni correction revealed significant differences between the 12% and 18% extract groups, as well as the positive control, compared to the negative control. However, no significant differences emerged between the extract groups (9%, 12%, 15%, and 18%) and the positive control. These findings indicate that Habbatussauda extract-based denture cleansers effectively inhibit Staphylococcus aureus growth on acrylic resin denture bases after 15 minutes of immersion.

Abstract

Root canal irrigant is a very important factor in supporting the success of root canal treatment. The currently recommended combination of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), ethylenediamintetraacetic acid (EDTA), and chlorhexidine has many drawbacks including toxicity to periapical tissues, bad taste, negative interactions between ingredients, and extended application time. Siwak (Salvadora persica) stem extract has been widely studied in its use as a dental material, including as a root canal irrigant. This study aims to formulate the ethyl acetate fraction of siwak with low concentration NaOCl, and test its antibacterial potential against E. faecalis. This research used 9 groups, namely the ethyl acetate fraction (FEA) of siwak ethanol extract with the concentrations of 1.25 mg/ml, 2.5 mg/ml, 5 mg/ml, a combination of FEA siwak 1.25 mg/ml + NaOCl 1.25%, FEA siwak 2.5 mg/ml + NaOCl 1.25%, FEA siwak 5 mg/ml + NaOCl 1.25%, NaOCl 1,25%, saline, and chlorhexidine. Based on the number of colony counts, the most significant inhibition was seen in the combination group of FEA siwak 5 mg/ml + NaOCl 1.25%. Data analysis was carried out using the One Way ANOVA test with a significance value of 0.00 (p <0.05) followed by the Post Hoc LSD test with a significance value of 0.130 (p>0.05) in the comparison between the combination group of FEA siwak 5 mg/ml + NaOCl 1.25% with chlorhexidine. The combination of FEA siwak 5 mg/ml + NaOCl 1.25% has the same effectiveness as chlorhexidine 2% in inhibiting E. faecalis bacteria, and potential as a root canal irrigant.

Abstract

Dental and oral health problems are still a challenge in Indonesia, especially in early childhood. Based on the 2018 Riskesdas, in the city of Semarang, 37.20% of children experienced cavities, while the prevalence of caries in children aged 3-4 years reached 81.5%. The DMF-T value in that age group was 4.9 and increased to 6.7 at the age of 5, which is very high. This condition confirms the importance of the role of parents, especially mothers, in early prevention. This condition emphasizes the importance of the involvement of parents, especially mothers, in early prevention. Posyandu has indeed provided education, but the use of the Card for Healthy Teeth (KMGS) is still limited and has not fully involved the active role of parents.  This study aims to analyze the influence of KMGS as an educational medium for mothers under five in improving knowledge and skills to maintain children's dental health. The method used was a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest design on 15 mothers under five at the Posyandu of Jabungan Village with data analysis using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant increase in the knowledge (p=0.014) and skills (p=0.007) of mothers after being given the intervention. Thus, the use of KMGS is proven to improve the knowledge and skills of mothers in maintaining children's dental health
