Abstract

Background: Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) as specific bacteria causing dental caries have cariogenic characteristic related to glucosyltransferase (gtf) B/C that can change sucrose into insoluble glucan. Insoluble glucan functions as an attachment media and bacteria colonization, and also as a source of extracellular polysaccharide which is needed for the bacteria and may lead to caries formation. Purpose: The aim of this study was to find out the gtf B/C expression in isolated S. mutans from dental plaque of rampant and caries-free children. Methods: An observational study was done on 96 isolated bacteria grown in sucrose and bacitracin containing media, which include S. mutans INA 99, S. Mutans EU3, S.mutans EU7, S.EU10a, and S.mutans 10b. PCR technique was used as amplification technique for gtf B/C. Result: This study showed that gtf B/C gene was found in S. mutans, S. constellatus, S. bovis, S. anginosus, L. fermentum, L. salivarius, and Kleibsiella oxytoca. The presence of gtf B/C gene was found in 9 of 10 samples identified in the sample of rampant caries children. Conclusion: The gtf B/C enzyme was found not only in S. mutans, but also in other bacteria.

Abstract

Caffeine is the most well-known substance which consumed by most people daily. Behind its popularity as favorable drinks and food, this substance also known can inhibit the post extraction wound healing by decreasing the proliferation of osteoblast cells through the increase of intracellular cyclic Adenosine Mono Phosphate (cAMP). The objective of this study was done to observe the effect of caffeine intake toward the number of osteoblast cells during the wound healing of post dental extraction in Wistar’s rats. This study was an experimental laboratory research and the post test-only control group design was used for the statistical evaluation. The samples used were 24 healthy 3 months old male Wistar’s rats, with approximately 200 grams of body weight and devided into 4 groups. Three groups were taken and represented as a treated group (P) and the rest of one group was used as a control group (KO). Caffeine diet with a dosage of 3.78 mg/100 ml grams of body weight/cc was given for 7 days in group P1, P2 for 14 days, and 21 days in group P3 and the diet was given orally using an oral sonde. Teeth extractions of the right first molar in the lower jaw were done in all groups according to the interval time had been scheduled. Seven days of post-extraction time was waiting in all groups before the sample being decapitated for further histological examination in the post extracted sites. A Hematoxillin and Eosin staining was used and the number of osteoblast cells were counted under light microscopy with 400 times magnification. One-way ANOVA and Least Significant Difference (LSD) test were used for the statistical evaluation. The result of the study shown a significant decrease of the number of osteoblast cells in caffeine consumed group of 7, 14, and 21 days observed (p < 0.05). This study conclude that the duration time of caffeine consumed had been interfered significantly with the osteoblast cell proliferation during the wound healing after teeth extractions in Wistar’s rats.

Abstract

Introduction: Orthodontic treatments have developed rapidly on the last decade even though; the sophisticated treatment has been limited by patient’s behavior. Orthodontist should acknowledge that the success of treatment not only depends on the knowledge and skill of the operator, but on the patient’s behavior as well, which is very critical to overcome the oral habit, including anterior tongue thrust swallow (ATTS). Patient’s cooperation is the key factor to set prognosis of oral habit correction and have to be proven through analysis of questioners. Methods: Patient cooperation scale (PCS) was made for this research involving 68 orthodontic patients for correction of ATTS from Faculty of Dentistry Indonesia University and Ladokgi as respondents. PCS assessment was based on data sets of: Patient awareness of ATTS (PAw), Patient Acceptance to receive treatment (PAc), and Patient Comfortable for using appliances (PC). The evaluation was obtained by calculation the total score of 10 items from each component, which gave 0–30 range of scale and would be 0–90 range of cooperation scale as the final result. Result: PCS assessment can be based on data sets of PAw, PAc, and PC. It is valid and reliable. The score for the cooperative patients range between 0–25. The higher the score from this questionnaire shows less cooperation from respondent. On the other hand, the lower the score showed better cooperation. Conclusion: PCS can be used for the prognosis of the successful oral habits correction and has a significant relation with the length of successful treatment.

Abstract

Background: Sudamala herb (Artemisia vulgaris L.) is often used in society as an anti tumor for organs of digestive system including oral cavity. Nevertheless, there are still no further scientific researches on active materials which can be used as anti carcinogen in oral cavity. Most of anti carcinogens are actually obtained from the genus Artemisia. Moreover, in Indonesia, the species of the genus Artemisia that grows the most is Artemisia vulgaris L. The problem of this research, however, is that the effect of n-hexane fraction: ethyl acetate from Artemisia vulgaris L. towards the decreasing of oncogene in oral squamous cell carcinoma is still indefinite. Purpose: The objective of this research is to explain the effect of giving n-hexane : ethyl acetate (3:7) fraction containing terpenoid from Artemisia vulgaris L. towards the decreasing of oncogene in oral epithelial carcinoma cell line. Methods: The method of this research is laboratory experimental research by using squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity on cell culture. The inhibitory percentage test in vitro, furthermore, is taken during the analysis. The result then is analyzed by probit analysis with drawing relation curve between the inhibitory percentage and concentration. Result: The result of n-hexane : ethyl acetate (3:7) fraction containing terpenoid from Artemisia vulgaris L. has the smallest IC50, 3.902 μg/ml, less than 20 μg/ml suitable with NCI criteria; thus, it can potentially be used as anti carcinogen. Conclusion: There is the decreasing of oncogenes after being given n-hexane : ethyl acetate (3:7) fraction containing terpenoid from Artemisia vulgaris L. towards oral epithelial carcinoma cell line.

Abstract

Mechanical trauma to the face may cause complex fracture of the zygoma and the maxilla. The characteristic clinical signs of zygomatic bone fracture include flattening of the cheek, infraorbital nerve paraesthesia, diplopia, and trismus, whereas maxillary fracture may typically cause flattening of the midface and malocclusion. The diagnosis of zygomatic and maxillary fracture should be established with thorough clinical examination and careful radiologic evaluation so that a three-dimensional view of the fractured bones can be obtained. This is essential in order to plan a proper surgical treatment to reconstruct the face in terms of functions and aesthetic. A standard surgical protocol should also be followed in performing the surgical reconstruction of the zygoma and the maxilla. A case of delayed bilateral fracture of zygoma and maxilla is presented here to give illustration on how the principle of diagnosis and surgical treatment of complex zygomatico-maxillary fracture are applied.

Abstract

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have recently emerged as key receptors of the innate immune system. They recognize specific pathogenassociated molecular patterns initiating a host defence response. The oral mucosa epithelium encounters potential pathogens like bacteria and viruses in inspired air, and the discovery of TLRs on epithelial cells suggest that the epithelium has a role in the mucosal immune system. The aim of this study was to discover Recurrent Apthous Stomatitis (RAS) using etiopathogenetic molecular approach by observing the TLRs. Immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies anti-TLR-2, TLR-3, TLR-4, TLR-5, TLR-7 and TLR-9 were used in this study. These antibodies are specific toward TLR on the surface of epithelial cells membrane and macrophages in patients with major and minor RAS. TLR was expressed on the surface of epithelial cells membrane of oral mucosa and macrophages in both major and minor RAS patients. TLRs was not expressed specifically in non-RAS patients. The results above showed indication, that functional TLRs expression by epithelial cells in oral mucosa had remarkable implication on natural immune response and disease pathogenesis. The expression of TLR was found in the oral mucous membrane on epithelial cells surface and macrophages patients with RAS.

Abstract

The people generally tend to associate a dental practice with a strange clinical atmosphere and a range of strange looking instruments, and furthermore pain during dental treatments. This condition more or less raises an anxiety to the patient and affects the patient’s regular dental attendance. Since anxiety has a significant role to the perception of pain, many attempts to make the patients relax are therefore needed to be done. Along with the advanced era, the development of science and technology affects the world of dental practice. Dentists are encouraged to provide better dental services and treat their patients holistically. In order to fulfill this, additional facilities such as music are needed. It was found that patients who listened to the preferred music before, during, and after their dental treatment tended to have the lower rate of anxiety. This decreased anxiety was the result of greatly increased feelings of relaxation and calmness, since music could dramatically influence physiological and psychological processes. Music based on preference also provided most patients a non-threatening and pleasurable experience. Recently, music as part of dental practice has been widely used in America and Europe. This article is purposed to inform that music as an additional facility plays an important role in reducing the patient’s anxiety to provide better dental care and patient management.
