Abstract

Background: Sex estimation is the first step in identifying bodies following disasters or accidents. Craniometric analysis of lateral cephalograms can be used in the process. Among the measurements that can be used are the length of cranial base, determined by Basion–Nasion (Ba-N) length, and the total face height, determined by the Nasion–Menton (N-M) length, which can highlight significant differences between men and women. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the differences in length of cranial base and total face height measurements between men and women and to demonstrate how these two measurements can be used for sex estimation in the Indonesian population. Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a patient database from the dental hospital of Universitas Gadjah Mada. The study sample consisted of 116 cephalograms taken of 58 men and 58 women aged 20–40 years. The linear measurements were taken using EzDent-I Vatech software. Results: The mean cranial base length measurements in the men and women groups were 103.83 ± 4.37 and 96.01 ± 3.80 mm, respectively, whereas the total face height measurements were 121.03 ± 7.26 and 111.23 ± 5.09 mm, respectively. The Mann–Whitney U-Test revealed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the groups. Logistic regression showed that the two measurements can be used to form an equation for sex estimation with an accuracy of 88.8%. Conclusion: Length of cranial base (Ba-N) and total face height (N-M) measurements from lateral cephalograms can accurately be used for sex estimation. Further research among specific populations is required to develop accurate methods for sex estimation employing morphometric examination on radiographs.

Abstract

Background: Oxidative stress results from the imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cellular antioxidant defenses. Oxidative stress can cause damage to cellular structures such as cell membranes, lipids, proteins, lipoproteins, and deoxyribonucleic acids when free radicals are present in excess. Antioxidant mechanisms protect tissues against oxidative stress by decreasing free radical levels in cells through the inhibition of activities or expression of free radical-generating enzymes. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of antioxidants in protecting cells from the harmful effects of ROS, particularly in the context of oral mucosa, and to clarify which molecules disrupt the pathway of these antioxidants. Review: Salivary peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione reductase are enzymatic salivary antioxidants, and uric acid, reduced glutathione, albumin, and lactoferrin are non-enzymatic antioxidants. Both types of antioxidants regularly donate an electron to free radicals to reduce their levels in cells. Conclusion: Antioxidant activities may be disrupted by signaling mechanisms resulting from barrier regulations observed in tissue. The increased expression of malondialdehyde is an indicator of disrupted antioxidant barriers.

Abstract

Background: Predominant advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients lead to increased reactive oxygen species, causing oxidative stress and cell apoptosis, which hinders wound healing. Curcuma xanthorrhiza contains active compounds such as curcumin, flavonoids, and saponins, which can increase fibroblast cell production, the primary indicator of wound healing, and serve as AGE inhibitors. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of 5% C. xanthorrhiza extract gel on the number of fibroblasts in diabetic Wistar rats during the healing of tooth extraction over a specific duration. Methods: The left mandibular incisor was extracted after using alloxan to induce diabetes in the rats. The socket was then treated with different compounds, including 5% C. xanthorrhiza extract gel, placebo CMC-Na, or Gengigel. A histopathological examination of the socket was conducted to assess the presence of fibroblasts on days one, three, and five after treatment. Results: The number of fibroblasts in the sockets treated with 5% C. xanthorrhiza extract gel was lower than in the Gengigel group but higher than in the placebo group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: 5% C. xanthorrhiza extract gel can increase the number of fibroblasts, thereby potentially accelerating wound healing in DM.

Abstract

Background: Full-mouth rehabilitation of multiple caries can improve the quality of life. The selection of appropriate restorations on caries and teeth that have undergone post-endodontic treatment is critical to treatment success and enhances the quality of life. Purpose: This case report presents a full-mouth rehabilitation of a patient with multiple caries. Case: A 30-year-old man complained of multiple caries and pain in the posterior mandibular tooth, especially when eating and drinking (cold and hot), which interfered with his activities. The clinical examination found caries in teeth 16, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 36, 37, and 38 and a retained root of tooth 46. The percussion and biting tests were negative, while the sensibility test was positive. Case Management: Severe caries found in tooth 37 was managed with endodontic treatment and an indirect onlay restoration with lithium disilicate-based material. The retained tooth of 46 was extracted and restored with a partial denture. The other teeth, 16, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 36, 37, and 38, were treated by direct composite restoration. Holistic treatment was performed on all the problem teeth to support oral hygiene and was followed by dental health education. Conclusion: Full-mouth rehabilitation is essential for oral hygiene and can improve the quality of life. Education on maintaining oral hygiene is a must for protecting oral health.

Abstract

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic multifactorial disease caused by microorganisms such as G-anaerobes in the periodontal tissues. It activates host defense cells and releases inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Ganoderma lucidum is a traditional medicinal mushroom with anti-inflammatory effects against various diseases. Biologically, different levels of its active constituents, such as triterpenoids and phenolic compounds, reduce inflammation with various pathways. Furthermore, the constituents inhibit toll-like receptor 4, MyD88 receptors, and the activities of nuclear factor-kappa B, which synthesize TNF-α and PGE2. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the extent to which G. lucidum extract can reduce TNF-α and PGE2 levels in periodontitis model Sprague Dawley rats. Methods: Thirty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups of five rats. Periodontitis inflammation was induced by the injection of Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria into intrasulcular gingival incisors in the lower jaw labial section. Grouping was as follows: Group K1 (healthy control); Group K2 (negative control); Group K3 (positive control with doxycycline dose 0.27 mg/kg BW); Group P1 (G. lucidum extract dose 5 mg/kg BW); Group P2 (G. lucidum extract dose 10 mg/kg BW); and Group P3 (G. lucidum extract dose 20 mg/kg BW). Samples were taken from rat gingival tissue and the levels of TNF-α and PGE2 were examined using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Data analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a confidence level of 95% (p < 0.05). Results: The levels of TNF-α and PGE2 were the highest in the K2 group and the lowest in the K1 group. One-way ANOVA showed no significant difference in TNF-α and PGE2 levels between P3 and K1 group. Conclusion: G. lucidum extract can reduce TNF-α and PGE2 levels in Sprague Dawley rats with periodontitis.

Abstract

Background: Adolescents are considered good cadres to be able to socialize with this healthy dental behavior. Therefore, designing a dental health education program is necessary to prepare adolescents to socialize with dental health behavior. Purpose: This study evaluates the pilot training for trainers using persuasive communication to socialize dental health behavior. Methods: Thirty-five participants (13-16 years old) are trained by a persuasive communication coach and practice the skills with a simulated client”this one-day training has a two-phase structure; lectures and practicum. The evaluation is done through three out of four-level methods from Kirkpatrick (1959). The data analysis used for the reaction evaluation is descriptive statistics, calculating the average score per category of training support assessment items (curriculum, facilitator, accommodation, and overall score). The learning outcome analysis resulted from an analysis of the pre-post test results using the N-Gain value and paired T-test. Behavior outcomes were also analyzed descriptively by calculating the average score of all participants in every timeline (baseline and two weeks after the training). Results: evaluation of this training revealed that "reaction” has an average total score was 4.02, which shows that the participants were satisfied with the training, "learning” has an N-Gain acquisition of 48.28%, and "behavior” level shows a good outcome as an increased in points from 3.4 to 4.2. Conclusion: The training program produced thirty cadres ready to implement the program in the community.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries, as a primary disease in dentistry, is strongly influenced by the presence of biofilms. One of the Gram-positive bacteria that acts as an initiator in the biofilm formation process is Streptococcus gordonii. As the primary catechin in green tea, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is easily found in our daily lives, and it has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial effects. Several studies have revealed that EGCG inhibited the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, including inhibiting biofilm formation by damaging the bacterial cell wall and reducing glucosyltransferase activity. However, there is still limited information that explains the effect of EGCG on S. gordonii bacterial biofilms. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of EGCG in inhibiting the formation of S. gordonii bacterial biofilms. Methods: This study was an in-vitro experimental laboratory study, with samples divided into five groups, namely, the group containing BHIB-bacteria, the BHIB-bacteria-5% sucrose groups, and the treatment groups containing BHIB-bacteria-5% sucrose-EGCG with concentrations of 12.5%, 6.25%, and 3.125%, respectively, incubated for 24 hours. The data was analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Results: There was a significant difference in the formation of biofilms in S. gordonii bacteria with the addition of 5% sucrose in BHIB compared with the group of S. gordonii bacteria in BHIB. The highest biofilm formation in the group containing bacteria-BHIB-5% sucrose, while the lowest biofilm formation occurred in the treatment group containing bacteria-BHIB-5% sucrose-12.5% EGCG with significant difference between the group. Conclusion: The addition of EGCG 12.5% inhibits the formation of S. gordonii biofilms.

Abstract

Background: Oral health literacy (OHL) has an important role as a medium for health promotion and efforts to prevent oral diseases through oral health behavior changes. Purpose: This study aims to determine OHL and its correlation with oral health knowledge, attitude, and oral health practice among college students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 583 students of Jenderal Soedirman University in 2020, as the students come from different provinces in Indonesia. The Indonesian Oral Health Literacy Questionnaire was used to assess OHL. A self-designed questionnaire was used to assess oral health knowledge, attitude, and oral health practice. Results: Most students had good OHL, knowledge, and attitude toward oral health (90.7%, 84.6%, and 90.5% respectively). A Pearson correlation test showed a correlation between OHL and oral health knowledge (p = 0.044) and attitude (p = < 0.001). The Fisher exact tests showed a correlation between OHL and snacking frequency, tooth-brushing frequency, tooth-brushing time, and toothbrush changing time. The better the OHL, the better the knowledge and attitude. There was no correlation between OHL and sweet food eating frequency, the use of cleansing aids, dentist visit frequency, and the first action taken when experiencing toothache. Conclusion: OHL has a correlation with oral health knowledge and attitude. However, OHL is only related to some oral health practice indicators. The results of this study are expected to be taken into consideration when formulating strategies to improve oral health within the university.

Abstract

Background: A higher occurrence of oral cancer is observed in South Asian and Southeast Asian countries when compared with other countries in the world. Cancer, a disease with complex pathophysiology, has been linked to chronic inflammation. Inflammation has been considered an important component of tumor initiation and progression. This is supported by the fact that many cancers arise at the sites of chronic inflammation, but the exact mechanism by which inflammation influences cancer is unknown. Purpose: This review article correlates single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), chronic inflammation, and oral cancer. The article emphasizes the critical role that SNPs play in oral cancer susceptibility, progression, and prognosis. This involves discussing the impact of specific SNPs on oral cancer risk and patient outcomes. Review: Gene polymorphism has been documented in the molecular pathogenesis of various cancers, including oral cancer, and SNPs are the most common form of gene polymorphism. Genetic variation has been documented in the molecular pathogenesis of various cancers, including oral cancer, and SNPs are the most common form of gene polymorphism. SNPs have been documented in inflammatory conditions as well as in various diseases. Conclusion: SNPs have phenotypic consequences and therefore can serve as genetic fingerprints. The upregulation or downregulation of genes is able to drive oral carcinogenesis.

Abstract

Background: Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is a dental material often used in clinical practice. However, its use is limited due to its drawbacks. Natural resources such as propolis have been used to mainly enhance GIC’s antibacterial properties, but other properties attributed to this enhancement also require evaluation. Purpose: The study aims to evaluate the surface hardness, the surface roughness, and the water absorption of GIC containing ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) from Trigona spp. Methods: Samples in this study were divided into four groups: GIC (control group); GIC + 25% EEP; GIC + 30% EEP; and GIC + 35% EEP. Surface roughness was measured using a surface roughness tester. Surface hardness was measured using a micro-Vickers hardness tester. Water absorption was measured by weighing the samples before and after immersion in distilled water. Surface characterization was carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Data was statistically analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and one-way variance analysis along with the post-hoc Tukey’s test to determine significant differences between all four samples. Results: The statistical test showed significant differences in surface hardness and surface roughness between the control group and the GIC + EEP group. However, the test demonstrated no significant differences in water absorption between the control group and the GIC + EEP group. Conclusion: The addition of EEP to conventional GIC can affect its physical properties.
