Abstract

Background: Tooth loss (edentulism) is a common oral health problem among older adults that negatively affects chewing ability, aesthetics, and quality of life. Posterior teeth, particularly molars, are more susceptible to loss due to their functional load and anatomical position. Biological factors such as age and gender may contribute to variations in tooth loss; however, community-level evidence remains limited in specific local settings.Purpose: This study aimed to describe the pattern of tooth loss and explore its potential association with age and gender among elderly individuals in Banjar Kebon Kori, Kelurahan Kesiman, East Denpasar.Methods: A descriptive observational study was conducted involving 17 elderly participants selected through total sampling. Data were collected through direct clinical oral examinations. Statistical analysis was primarily descriptive (frequency and percentage), and bivariate analysis was performed using Fisher’s Exact Test due to the small sample size. Results: Tooth loss was predominantly observed in posterior teeth, particularly the first molars (21.6%). Females showed a slightly higher proportion of tooth loss (53.4%) compared to males (46.6%). A higher proportion of tooth loss was also observed among participants aged ≥70 years compared to those aged 60–69 years. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution due to the small sample size (n = 17) and unequal group distribution. Conclusion: This study suggests that tooth loss among elderly individuals tends to be more frequent in posterior teeth and may vary according to age and gender. However, the findings are exploratory and do not establish causal relationships. Further studies with larger and more representative samples are needed to confirm these observations.Keywords: Age, Elderly, Gender, Posterior teeth, Tooth loss.

Abstract

Background: Age estimation is a crucial aspect of forensic dentistry, particularly in identifying children whose chronological age is uncertain or undocumented. The Demirjian method is one of the most widely used approaches to determine age by evaluating the mineralization stages of seven mandibular permanent teeth using panoramic radiographs. Body Mass Index (BMI) reflects nutritional status and general growth patterns, which may influence the rate of dental maturation. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between BMI and dental age estimation based on the Demirjian method in children. Methods: This analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design involved 42 children who underwent panoramic radiographic. BMI values were calculated from measurements of body weight and height, while dental age was determined by assessing tooth development stages using the Demirjian method. Results: The results of the Spearman test showed that 90.4% of participants had consistent dental and chronological ages, 4.8% showed advanced, and 4.8% delayed dental maturation. Significant correlation was found between BMI and dental age (p= 0.038), while a not-significant correlation was observed between BMI and chronological age (p= 0.117). There was a significant correlation between dental age and chronological age (p= 0.000). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC= 0.997) indicated excellent inter-examiner reliability. Conclusion: These findings suggest that BMI variation is associated with differences in dental development, indicating its potential use as a complementary indicator in biological age estimation within forensic dentistry; however, this association should be interpreted cautiously, as potential confounding factors were not controlled in this study.Keywords: Body Mass Index, Dental Age, Demirjian Method, Panoramic Radiography, Children

Abstract

Background: According to Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) data in 2013, the proportion of malocclusion among individuals aged 15-24 years in South Kalimantan was 14.2%. The high proportion of malocclusion may increase orthodontic treatment need. Orthodontic treatment need can be influenced by several factors, including parents socioeconomic status. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between parents socioeconomic status and orthodontic treatment need using the ICON index among high school students in the urban area of Banjarmasin. Methods: This analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design involved 356 high school students aged 15-18 years in the urban area of Banjarmasin who were selected using simple random sampling. Orthodontic treatment need was measured using the Index of Complexity, Outcome, and Need (ICON) through study models, while parents socioeconomic status was assessed using a questionnaire based on Kuppuswamy’s socioeconomic scale. Results: Most parents socioeconomic status was classified as lower-middle (39%). The mean ICON score was 39.77, indicating borderline/moderate orthodontic treatment need. Spearman correlation showed a significant negative relationship between parents socioeconomic status and orthodontic treatment need (p < 0.05; r = -0.464). Conclusion: There is a significant negative relationship between parents socioeconomic status and orthodontic treatment need among high school students in urban Banjarmasin. Students from lower socioeconomic families tended to have higher orthodontic treatment need.Keywords: Adolescents; ICON; Orthodontic treatment need; Parents socioeconomic status

Abstract

Background: Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) serve as primary healthcare providers in Indonesia, delivering essential medical services including dental and oral care for communities, families, and individuals. High-quality services emphasize five key dimensions of service quality: assurance, empathy, tangibles, reliability, and responsiveness. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of service quality on patient satisfaction at the Dental Clinic of Mijen I Community Health Center. Methods: A concurrent mixed-methods design was applied using purposive sampling, with 142 patients as respondents. The independent variable was service quality, while the dependent variable was patient satisfaction. Data were collected through questionnaires and interview guidelines, and analyzed using validity and reliability testing, descriptive statistics, Spearman’s correlation, and ordinal regression. Results: The univariate analysis showed the highest score in assurance (90%) and the lowest in empathy and tangibles (88%). The average level of patient satisfaction was 85%. Bivariate analysis indicated positive correlations between service quality dimensions and satisfaction, with coefficients ranging from 0.207 to 0.347, the strongest being responsiveness. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that service quality simultaneously influenced patient satisfaction, with a Nagelkerke R² value of 0.381, meaning that 38.1% of satisfaction was explained by the five service quality dimensions, while the remaining 61.9% was influenced by other factors not examined in this study. Conclusion: Service quality significantly contributes to patient satisfaction, particularly through responsiveness, assurance, and reliability. Strengthening these dimensions is crucial to improving patient experiences at community-based dental health facilities.Keywords: Dental, Healthcare, Patient Satisfactio, Service Quality

Abstract

Background: Oral mucosal wounds require effective inflammatory control for optimal healing. However, conventional agents such as povidone-iodine may cause irritation and cytotoxicity, limiting their use. Ficus deltoidea, a medicinal plant from Kalimantan, possesses antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a promising alternative for oral wound therapy. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of Ficus deltoidea leaf extract gel on neutrophil and macrophage cells in oral mucosal wound healing. Methods: A true experimental posttest-only control group study was conducted on 48 male Wistar rats. Standardized buccal mucosal wounds were treated with Ficus deltoidea J. leaf extract gel (GEDTB) 5%, 10%, 15% or gel base (control). Animals were sacrificed on days 1, 3, and 7, and neutrophil and macrophage counts were assessed histopathologically. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc. Results: Neutrophil counts decreased significantly over time in all groups, with a faster reduction in extract-treated groups, particularly at 15%. On day 1, the control group had the highest neutrophil count, significantly greater than the 15% group (p<0.05), while by day 7, all treatment groups showed significantly lower neutrophil levels than control. Macrophage counts increased from day 1, peaked on day 3—highest in the 15% group—and declined significantly by day 7. Both treatment and time had significant effects on neutrophil and macrophage counts (p<0.05), with a significant interaction observed for macrophages. Conclusion: Ficus deltoidea J. leaf extract gel effectively modulates inflammatory cell by accelerating neutrophil reduction and enhancing macrophage activity in oral wound healing.Keywords: Anti-inflammatory activity, Ficus deltoidea jack.,Macrophages, Neutrophils, Oral wound healing

Abstract

Introduction: The development of the dental arch in childhood is influenced by nutritional status, masticatory habits, and orofacial functional stimulation. Free Nutritious Meal Program (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) is a school-based nutritional intervention that may positively affect jaw growth by providing nutrient-rich foods with appropriate textures. This study aimed to compare maxillary and mandibular arch dimensions between children participating in the MBG program and those not enrolled in the program. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among children aged 10–12 years who met the inclusion criteria from two elementary public schools. Intercanine width, intermolar width, arch length, and arch depth were measured on dental cast models. Data were statistically analyzed to assess differences between the MBG and non-MBG groups. Mann-Whitney test was used for non-normally distributed data, while T-test was used for normally distributed data. Results: Several dental arch parameters, including maxillary intercanine width, maxillary arch length, mandibular intermolar width, and mandibular arch length, were significantly greater in the MBG group compared to the non-MBG group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Participation in the MBG program appears to support transverse and sagittal dental arch development, potentially through enhanced masticatory function and improved daily nutritional intake. These findings highlight the clinical relevance of school-based nutritional interventions as a promotive strategy for children’s oral health and early malocclusion prevention. Keywords: Free nutritious meal program, Jaw development, Malocclusion

Abstract

Background: Open comminuted mandibular parasymphyseal fractures present significant challenges due to fragment instability, disrupted occlusion, and increased risk of complications, particularly in cases with dental malalignment where conventional stabilization methods are limited. Objective: To report the application of interdental tension band wiring as a pre-ORIF reduction adjunct in an open comminuted mandibular parasymphyseal fracture.Case: A 41-year-old male presented with anterior open bite and intraoral bleeding following a motor vehicle accident. Clinical and radiographic findings confirmed an open OCSS CMF Type II left mandibular parasymphyseal fracture with dental malalignment. Conventional adjuncts such as arch bars were considered suboptimal due to the risk of further displacement and periodontal injury. Case Management: Interdental tension band wiring using a 0.4-mm multiple loop configuration was applied as a pre-ORIF reduction aid, followed by definitive fixation with a 2.4-mm reconstruction plate. The technique enabled controlled fragment approximation through dental–periodontal anchorage. At one-month follow-up, satisfactory wound healing, stable occlusion, and normal mandibular function were achieved without complications. Conclusion: Interdental tension band wiring may serve as a practical and cost-effective reduction adjunct in selected cases of open comminuted mandibular parasymphyseal fracture with dental malalignment, offering a clinically adaptable approach when conventional techniques are limited. Keywords: Bone plates, fracture fixation, malocclusion, mandibular fractures

Abstract

Background: Fibrous dysplasia is a developmental disorder of the bone, characterized as a benign pathological condition, and its etiology is not yet known. Fibrous dysplasia can occur in the entire body frame, but is most often found in the skull, maxilla, and mandible. Management of fibrous dysplasia is observation and conservative surgery. Objective: To report the management of recurrent fibrous dysplasia of the maxilla. Case: A 33-year-old female patient came to Universitas Airlangga Dental Hospital with a chief complaint of a lump on her right cheekbone, asymmetrical face, painless, and had a history of maxillectomy in the right region in 2013. CT radiography was performed with a result of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the maxillary bone, nasal, zygoma, skull base, sphenoid, and right frontal bones. Case Management: Ostectomy and surgical recontouring were performed under general anesthesia, along with the extraction of teeth 11, 12, 21, and 22. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Conclusion: Immediate surgical treatment for recurrent FD of the maxilla is necessary, and regular radiographic follow-up is important to see its progression. Keywords: Fibrous dysplasia, Maxilla, Non-communicable disease, Recurrent, Surgical recontouring

Abstract

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic Gram-positive bacterium that can colonize the oral cavity and cause various infections such as oral abscesses, stomatitis, and post-dental procedure infections. The increasing problem of antibiotic resistance has encouraged the exploration of medicinal plants as alternative antibacterial agents. Sungkai (Peronema canescens) leaves are traditionally used by the Dayak Meratus community as herbal medicine and are known to contain bioactive compounds with potential antibacterial activity. Purpose: This study aimed to analyse the phytochemical content and antibacterial activity of sungkai leaf extract against Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: This research used a true experimental design with a post-test-only control group design. Methanol extract of sungkai leaves was prepared using the maceration method. Phytochemical analysis included determination of flavonoid, alkaloid, and steroid contents using spectrophotometric and gravimetric methods. Antibacterial activity was tested using the disc diffusion method on Mueller Hinton Agar against S. aureus at concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Clindamycin was used as a positive control and sterile distilled water as a negative control. Results: Phytochemical analysis showed that sungkai leaf extract contained flavonoids (85.47 mg/mL QE), steroids (26.797%), and alkaloids (18.436%). The antibacterial test showed inhibition zones that increased with extract concentration, namely 10.19 ± 0.23 mm (25%), 12.89 ± 0.43 mm (50%), 14.80 ± 0.41 mm (75%), and 17.72 ± 0.57 mm (100%). Conclusion Sungkai leaf extract contains several bioactive compounds and demonstrates antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, indicating its potential as a natural antibacterial agent.Keywords: Antibacterial Activity, Phytochemical Analysis, Staphylococcus aureus, Sungkai Leaf Extract.
