Abstract

Background: Herpes zoster (HZ) is uncommon in pediatric population. Severe disseminated forms like Herpes Zoster Multiplex (HZM)—involving non-contiguous dermatomes—are rare but can occur in immunocompetent pediatric patients, despite HZ usually being benign. Objective: We report two contrasting clinical presentations of HZ in immunocompetent pediatric patients to highlight its clinical variability and the critical need for individualized therapeutic strategies. Cases: Case 1 describes a 9-year-old girl with a history of varicella presenting with classic HZ on the right lower lip. She experienced a mild course and recovered with supportive topical treatment. Case 2 describes an 8-year-old girl with no known varicella history presenting with severe HZM involving trigeminal, cervical, and thoracic dermatomes. CaseManagement: She required hospitalization for oral acyclovir, intravenous corticosteroids, and antibiotics. The condition resolved without lethal complications, resulting only in keloid sequelae. Both patients demonstrated non-anemic macrocytosis. Conclusion: Recognizing the clinical variability of HZ in pediatric patients is essential. Differentiating severe disseminated forms like HZM from classic HZ is critical, as HZM necessitates aggressive systemic therapy and hospitalization, compared to the outpatient supportive care often sufficient for classical presentations. Keywords:Acyclovir; Herpes Zoster Multiplex; Immunocompetent; Oral Medicine; Trigeminal

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Previous studies concluded that Ajwa date (Phoenix Dactylifera L.) seed extract significantly reduced the roughness of acrylic resin plates used as denture bases, and has the potential to be used as a raw material for denture cleaning tablets. Several previous studies also showed that Ajwa date seeds contain various secondary metabolites, such as phenolic compounds and flavonoids, which have the potential as antioxidants and other bioactive agents. However, most of these studies were still limited to the use of specific analytical methods separately, such as phytochemical screening or chromatographic analysis, without a comprehensive integrated approach. Objective: To identify the levels of active secondary metabolites in ethanol extract of Ajwa date seeds using a comprehensive method with phytochemical screening, UV-Vis, FTIR, and GC-MS. Results: Ajwa date seeds were found to contain alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, and saponins. UV-Vis analysis showed consistent levels of polyphenols, tannins, and flavonoids. FTIR analysis showed that Ajwa date seeds are a rich natural source of polysaccharides, lipids, and phenolic compounds, and GC-MS results revealed various secondary metabolites detected at various retention times, rich in essential fatty acids, esters, and phenolic derivatives. All test methods were repeated three times. Conclusion: The combination of the four analytical methods complemented each other in identifying and confirming the presence of secondary metabolites in Ajwa date seed extract, thus providing a comprehensive picture of its chemical composition and potential bioactivity. Keywords: Ajwa date seeds, Phytochemical screening, UV-Vis, FTIR, GC-MS

Abstract

Background: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) provides superior 3D imaging for dental diagnosis but involves higher radiation exposure than conventional radiography. Therefore, dose optimization based on the ALARA principle and the establishment of Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) are essential for patient safety and radiation protection. Purpose: This study evaluated CBCT exposure parameters and radiation dose variation by FOV to support dose optimization and DRL development. Methods: This retrospective descriptive study analyzed CBCT records of adult patients (September 2023–2024). Variables included tube voltage, tube current, exposure time, voxel size, DAP, Effective Dose, and FOV. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and FOV-based comparisons with SPSS version 30. Results: A total of 50 patients were included (56% female and 44% male) had average exposure parameters of 89.80 kV, 2.87 mA, 15 seconds, and 0.148 mm voxel size. The 8x5 cm FOV (4 patients) produced a DAP of 721.50 µGy cm² and an Effective Dose of 70 µSv. The 8x9 cm FOV (46 patients) produced a DAP of 1151.48 µGy cm² and an Effective Dose of 72 µSv. The typical dose value (Q2 DAP) was 1179 µGy cm². Conclusion: Radiation doses in dental CBCT examinations vary depending on the FOV size, with larger FOVs resulting in higher radiation exposure. Selecting the appropriate FOV based on clinical indications, along with dose monitoring and establishing Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs), is crucial for optimizing patient safety and radiation protection in dental radiology. Keywords: Cone Beam Computed Tomography, DRL, Patient Safety, Radiation Protection, TDV

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and the policies taken by the Indonesian government have had a major impact on health sectors and resulted in changes in health services patterns provided by the Emergency Department (ED) in dental hospitals. Identifying changes in dental hospital visits is pivotal to formulate policies that must be prepared immediately and adapted to the dynamics for the use of dental and oral health service during pandemic. Objective: This study compares services at the ED of the Universitas Airlangga Dental Hospital during the pre-pandemic and the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.Method:This is a retrospective study, based on data extracted from the medical records of all patients who came to the ED during March-July 2019 and the COVID-19 period (March-July 2020). Patients were classified according to the case diagnosis, and the data of the two periods were statistically compared using the independent t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test, as applicable. Results:There was an increase in the number of patient visits in March-July 2020 (503 patients) compared to March-July 2019 (113 patients). The highest number of visits was in April 2020 (143 patients). Infection and miscellaneous cases were the most common in both periods with drastic increase in 2020. There were significant differences in the total number of visits, infections, and miscellaneous cases.Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has caused a change in the general picture of dental and oral health services by an increase in patient number and case distribution.Keywords:COVID-19, Dental hospital, Emergency department, Health service, Pandemic

Abstract

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth. Animal models are commonly used to study its pathogenesis and the effects of various exposures. E-cigarette vapor contains nicotine and other harmful substances that may induce inflammation. Cotinine and interleukin-6 (IL-6) serve as biomarkers of nicotine exposure and inflammatory response. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate cotinine and IL-6 levels in Wistar rats exposed to e-cigarette vapor and to assess the relationship between nicotine exposure and systemic inflammation in periodontitis. Methods: Twelve Wistar rats were divided into treatment and control groups. The treatment group was exposed to e-cigarette vapor for 35 days (30 puffs/day), while the control group received no exposure. Cotinine and IL-6 levels were measured using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Independent t-tests and Pearson correlation analyses were performed. Results : The treatment group exposed to e-cigarette vapor showed higher IL-6 and cotinine levels compared to the control group. The mean for IL-6 was 27,5 pg/mL (treatment group) and 13,8 pg/mL (control group), while for cotinine it was 227,6 ng/mL (treatment group) and 175,4 ng/mL (control group). A positive correlation was observed (r = 0.515; p = 0.086), although this did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: E-cigarette vapor exposure increased cotinine and IL-6 levels in Wistar rats, indicating enhanced systemic inflammation. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution due to the small sample size and animal model. Further studies involving larger samples and human subjects are needed to confirm these results and determine their clinical relevance.Keywords: Cotinine, Electronic_Cigarette, Interleukin-6, Periodontitis

Abstract

Background: Telescopic overdenture is a removable prosthesis that covers and utilizes remaining teeth as support through a double crown system consisting of inner and outer copings. This type of prosthesis is indicated in cases where several teeth require extraction while others can still be preserved despite compromised periodontal conditions. Its advantages include good long-term prognosis, ease of cleaning, and reduced food retention due to the metal coping surface, which helps maintain periodontal health of abutment teeth. Purpose: To improve esthetics, speech, and masticatory function using telescopic overdenture. Case: A 38-year-old male presented with multiple missing and mobile teeth in both maxillary and mandibular arches. The patient reported discomfort during mastication and decreased self-confidence due to poor dental appearance, and requested prosthetic rehabilitation. Case Management: Initial treatment included scaling and root planing, extraction of teeth 13, 21, 23, 24, 28, 33, and 32, and occlusal adjustment. Transitional dentures were fabricated for both arches as an interim solution. Definitive treatment involved a telescopic overdenture in the mandible and a complete denture in the maxilla. Conclusion: Telescopic overdenture is an effective treatment option for partially edentulous patients, providing improved retention, stability, esthetics, and function while preserving remaining teeth and supporting long-term oral health.Keywords: Double crown, Occlusal force, Periodontal tissue, Splintining teeth, Telescopic denture

Abstract

Introduction: Forensic odontology is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the resolution of forensic cases. This discipline encompasses identifying personal information, including age, race, and gender. One of the methods utilized is lip print analysis. Objective: To determine the consistency of Suzuki-Tsuchihashi and Renaud methods in determining dominant lip print patterns in males and females. Methods: This study employs a cross-sectional design with an observational approach, involving 100 respondents (50 males and 50 females) aged 18–25 years selected using quota sampling. Lip print patterns were classified using the Suzuki–Tsuchihashi and Renaud methods, and the data were analyzed to determine the consistency between Suzuki-Tsuchihashi and Renaud methods. Results: The Cohen’s Kappa analysis showed level of consistency in males is fair (κ = 0.230; p = 0.302) and moderate in females (κ = 0.422; p = 0.531). In both groups, p-values greater than 0.05 indicate no statistically significant difference between the Suzuki–Tsuchihashi and Renaud methods. Conclusion: There is no statistically significant difference between the Suzuki-Tsuchihashi and Renaud methods. However, both methods demonstrate a fair to moderate of level of consistency in classifying dominant lip print patterns in males and females. Keywords: Forensic Odontology, Gender Identification, Lip Print, Renaud Method, Suzuki-Tsuchihashi Method

Abstract

Background: The Personal Hygiene Performance Modified (PHP-M) index is a widely used tool for assessing oral hygiene status, but manual calculations are time-consuming and susceptible to human error. Digital dental calculator apps may streamline this process, yet their efficacy in PHP-M scoring remains underexplored. Objective: This study evaluated the duration time of a digital dental calculator app for PHP-M calculations compared to traditional manual methods. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 65 dental professional students. Convenience sampling technique was employed, and the selected samples satisfied the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria were students of the dental profession at Baiturrahmah University in Indonesia who were still enrolled or had passed the pedodontics module. Conversely, students who did not participate in the full study (manual and digital) were excluded from the study. Participants assessed PHP-M score used standard scenario. First, participants was conducted traditional manual methods and the two weeks later used digital calculator for calculate the PHP-M scores. Results: The mean time taken to calculate PHP-M results manually was 136.75 seconds, while the mean time taken to calculate the same results using the digital dental calculator application was 48.49 seconds. The results of the Mann-Whitney test demonstrate that there is a statistically significant discrepancy between manual and digital calculations utilizing the application, with a p-value of 0.000 (p <0.05).Conclusion:Digital dental calculator apps significantly enhance the speed, and usability of PHP-M index calculations. Their adoption in clinical and research settings can improve oral hygiene assessments and standardize reporting.Keywords: Dental calculator app, Digital dentistry, Duration time, PHP-M index

Abstract

Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) commonly affects multiple teeth and can rapidly progress to pulpal necrosis. Managing and maintaining affected teeth until their natural exfoliation presents a clinical challenge. A promising conservative approach involves the use of strip crowns reinforced with Bombyx morisilk fiber–reinforced composite following endodontic therapy. Objective: This case report describes the restoration of primary maxillary incisors with severe crown destruction due to ECC using Bombyx mori silk fiber–reinforced composite posts and strip crowns after root canal treatment. Case: A 5-year-8-month-old boy presented to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic, Prof. Soedomo Dental Hospital, Universitas Gadjah Mada, accompanied by his mother, with a complaint of several decayed upper anterior teeth. The child had a history of nocturnal breastfeeding and daily UHT milk consumption, along with poor oral hygiene. Clinical examination revealed dentinal caries on teeth 51, 52, and 62, and severe crown destruction with pulpal necrosis on tooth 61. Managing case: Root canal treatment was performed on tooth 61, followed by placement of a Bombyx mori silk fiber–reinforced composite post and strip crown restoration. Strip crown restorations were also placed on teeth 51, 52, and 62. At the one-month follow-up, all restorations remained intact, functional, and aesthetically pleasing, with no dislodgement or failure observed. Conclusion: Strip crowns represent an effective and aesthetic restorative option for children with ECC, particularly in the anterior region. The use of Bombyx mori silk fiber–reinforced composite posts in cases of severe coronal destruction enhances retention, durability, and long-term clinical outcomes.Keywords:Bombyx Mori Silk Fiber Reinforced Composite, Early Childhood Caries, Strip Crown
