Abstract

Oral health in Indonesia remains a significant problem, with 57.6% of the population experiencing problems but only 10.2% accessing treatment. Dental calculus is one of the main etiologies of periodontal disease. Therefore, healthcare professionals require a rapid and standardized screening tool to efficiently identify high-risk patients. This study aims to report the development process and trial results of the "Calrisk Dentistry" application, a clinical decision support system for detecting risk levels and identifying the main causative factors of calculus. This study used a cross-sectional design to conduct a trial of the system on 60 respondents. The trial was conducted on 60 patients, where the data collection process was facilitated by dental hygiene students. Data were collected using the "Calrisk Dentistry" application that analyzes 13 risk variables to generate a risk score. The application successfully classified respondents into four risk categories: Low (15%), Moderate (40%), High (31.7%), and Very High (13.3%). The risk factors with the highest impact identified by the system were inappropriate brushing time, one-sided chewing, and the presence of caries. The trial results indicate that the developed "Calrisk Dentistry" application is a functional and effective tool for calculus risk screening. This system has the potential to become a technological tool to increase patient awareness and facilitate early prevention.

Abstract

Dental and oral disease is a disease that affects all age groups, both in children and adults, including the elderly. One of the health problems in the elderly is dental caries and periodontal disease. Dental and oral disease is a problem in Indonesia based on the 2004 Household Health Survey (SKRT), the prevalence rate of dental caries in Indonesia reached 90.05%. In a study, it was stated that periodontal disease can increase the risk of stroke by more than 50% at the age of 25-54 years, this is because bacteria in periodontal disease enter the blood vessels and follow the flow of capillaries to the brain. Other studies show that 95% of people over 65 years old have periodontal disease, and 70% of elderly people need periodontal care [1]. Efforts are made to overcome the problem of dental and oral diseases in the elderly by approaching health workers and dentists about the importance of dental and oral health. This can also be done by the formation of dental and oral health cadres who play a role in monitoring the dental health of the elderly in the activities of the elderly Posyandu [2]. Padangsari Village, Banyumanik District has an Elderly Posyandu which every month routinely carries out Elderly Posyandu activities with activities including routine general health checks, including blood pressure checks, uric acid checks, blood sugar checks, but for dental health, especially periondontal tissue, routinely has not been carried out. Dental examinations need to be done regularly in the elderly because one of the symptoms that arise in degenerative diseases can be monitored through the oral cavity. The general purpose of this study is to detect diseases that can manifest through the oral cavity through examinations, education in improving dental health maintenance and providing care needs to the elderly group in Padangsari Banyumanik Village, Semarang City. The results showed that, based on the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test on calculus scores before and after treatment in the elderly (N = 60), the values of Z = –6,751 and p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) were obtained. These results show that there is a very significant difference between the score before and after treatment. All respondents experienced a decrease in calculus scores after treatment, which indicated a positive effect of the intervention given.

Abstract

Down syndrome is characterized by maxillary hypoplasia with a short and narrow palate, resulting in a smaller shape and volume of the oral cavity. Research findings by experts on the cavum oris volume of individuals with Down syndrome indicate differences due to genetic abnormalities, secondary causes,and age. This purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between age and  cavum oris volume in children with Down Syndrome at the Special School in Yogyakarta City. An observational study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 28 children with Down syndrome at the Yogyakarta Special School who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The digital printing of the cavum oris is performed using Shining 3D Dental. Measurement of cavum oris volume using 3Shape 3DViewer and Inventor Professional 2020. The relationship between age and cavum oris volume was analyzed using statistical tests of correlation coefficients and T-tests with a 95% confidence level. The results show an R value of 0.942, which means there is a very strong positive correlation between increasing age and increasing cavum oris volume. The T-test shows that the age variable has a t-value of 3.967 with p=0.058 (p<0.05), indicating that the age variable does not have a significant effect on the volume of the cavum oris. The research conclusion is that in children with Down syndrome, the volume of the cavum oris increases with age, but this increase is not significant.

Abstract

Dental caries remains a major oral health problem among children and highlights the need for effective oral health education from an early age. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the storytelling method compared with traditional lecture-based education in improving oral health knowledge among children. A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test control group design was conducted among 108 children aged 7–8 years at the Dental and Oral Hospital of Andalas University, Indonesia. Participants were divided into a storytelling group (n = 54) and a lecture group (n = 54). The storytelling group received three oral health education sessions using illustrated stories, while the lecture group received the same material through conventional lectures. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, paired sample t-test, independent t-test, and Chi-square test. The results showed that the proportion of children with good knowledge was higher in the storytelling group (83.3%) than in the lecture group (51.9%), with no children in the storytelling group categorized as having poor knowledge. The storytelling group also had a higher post-test mean score (8.39 ± 1.04) than the lecture group (7.20 ± 1.77), and the educational method was significantly associated with knowledge level (p = 0.001). In conclusion, storytelling is more effective than traditional lectures in improving children’s oral health knowledge.

Abstract

Chronic periodontitis, primarily caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis, often requires adjunctive mouthwash therapy. While Chlorhexidine is the gold standard, its long-term use leads to various side effects. Date seeds, containing active compounds like polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins, offer potential as a natural, environmentally friendly antibacterial alternative against Porphyromonas gingivalis. Research Objectives: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a date seed extract-based mouthwash for its effectiveness against Porphyromonas gingivalis growth. The experimental design tested three extract concentrations (5%, 7.5%, and 10%) for antibacterial activity. Phytochemical screening identified active compounds, and antibacterial testing was conducted using the agar diffusion method. showed date seed extract contains secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and steroids, indicating antibacterial potential. The formulated mouthwash had a liquid, brownish texture with a characteristic aroma, though it produced undissolved precipitates. Importantly, antibacterial testing demonstrated significant inhibitory capability against Porphyromonas gingivalis, evidenced by clear inhibition zones, with a significant difference (p < 0.001) in diameter across concentrations. In conclusion, Ajwa date seeds effectively inhibit Porphyromonas gingivalis growth. A higher concentration of date seed extract in the mouthwash formula results in greater inhibitory power

Abstract

Early childhood caries (ECC) remains a prevalent public health issue in Indonesia. One of the key determinants in its prevention is parental knowledge of toddler tooth development and associated risk factors. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the “Kartu Gigi SehatKu” (KAGISAKU) card in improving parents’ knowledge. This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest–posttest design with a non-equivalent control group. A total of 84 parents of toddlers were divided into intervention (received training and KAGISAKU card) and control (received standard posyandu education) groups. Knowledge was measured using a standardized questionnaire before and six weeks after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-test, independent t-test, and ANCOVA. A significant increase in knowledge scores was observed in the intervention group (Δ = 38.5 ± 8.1; p < 0.001) compared to the control group (Δ = 5.4 ± 4.5). The effectiveness of the intervention was consistent across gender, education level, and socioeconomic status. In summary, the KAGISAKU card effectively improved parental knowledge of toddler tooth development and caries risk factors across diverse educational and socioeconomic backgrounds, highlighting its potential as an accessible and scalable preventive oral health education strategy in community health settings such as posyandu

Abstract

Dental caries is a multifactorial disease that remains a major dental health problem in children. The first permanent molars (M1) play an important role in chewing and occlusion but are often affected by caries due to poor oral hygiene, cariogenic food consumption, and low parental knowledge and supervision. This study aims to identify the factors that contribute to caries in the first permanent molars of children aged 7–10 years, so that it can be used as a basis for planning programs to promote and prevent dental caries in children. This study is a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 83 children aged 7–10 years. Data were obtained through clinical caries examinations and pretest–posttest questionnaires to assess children's dental health knowledge levels. Descriptive analysis was performed to examine the frequency distribution of caries and sociodemographic factors. Most respondents were male (55.4%) and aged 9 years (39.8%). The majority of fathers worked as laborers (49.4%), and 81.9% of respondents lived within 1 km of dental health facilities. The results showed an increase in dental health knowledge from 55.4% to 68.7% after health education. The highest frequency of first molar caries was found at the age of 10 years (13 children) with an average def-t index of 4.29, indicating a fairly high level of caries. First molar caries in children is influenced by socioeconomic factors, dental hygiene behavior, and the duration of tooth exposure to the oral environment.

Abstract

Traumatic ulcers are ulcerative lesions caused by mechanical, electrical, or chemical trauma. In children, the prevalence of oral ulcers reaches approximately 9%. Topical gel is commonly chosen as the first-line treatment for ulcers, due to their effectiveness in protecting the lesion and alleviating pain caused by friction with surrounding tissues. Topical gel formulations containing hyaluronic acid as the active ingredient have demonstrated significant therapeutic benefits in the management of oral ulcers. It contributes to the healing process by maintaining adequate moisture at the lesion, facilitating the initiation of the inflammatory and proliferative phases, and ultimately promoting faster tissue regeneration and wound closure. This article presents the management of a traumatic ulcer in a 3-year-old child resulting from an accident. The ulcer was located in the anterior maxillary region and was accompanied by the avulsion of teeth 51 and 61. The lesion was treated with topical hyaluronic acid gel. The treatment spanned over a period of two months, during which new gingival tissue developed, covering the exposed alveolar bone and socket following the trauma.In cases involving extensive traumatic ulcers, such as the present case, the application of hyaluronic acid gel has demonstrated efficacy in facilitating tissue regeneration. The selection of an appropriate topical therapeutic agent is particularly important in pediatric patients to ensure optimal healing outcomes, patient comfort, and adequate nutritional intake during recovery. Hyaluronic acid gel offers a cooling and tasteless upon application, rendering it a well-tolerated and effective option for the management of ulcerative lesions in children.

Abstract

Hemimaxillectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of part of the palatal and maxillary bones, which results in disruption of the oral cavity structure. This defect causes an abnormal relationship between the oral and nasal cavities, accompanied by abnormalities in the palate and tooth loss. This case report aims to examine the rehabilitation using an obturator of a patient after a hemimaxillectomy procedure. A 32-year-old male patient came to the Dental and Oral Polyclinic of Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, a referral from the Ear, Nose, and Throat Polyclinic with a diagnosis of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. The treatment management was that the patient underwent a post-surgical obturator before undergoing a hemimaxillectomy. The next stage was the hemimaxillectomy procedure followed by post-surgical obturator insertion. Prosthetic treatment was carried out in stages, including interim and definitive obturator insertion. Objective examination of retention, stabilization, occlusion, phonation, and aesthetics showed they were in good condition after obturator insertion. Obturator prothesis in this case restored patient’s chewing, swallowing, speech, and aesthetic after hemimaxillecromy.
