Abstract

Background: Bone augmentation aims to provide sufficient bone volume around dental implants. Available bone augmentation methods include autogenous bone grafts, xenografts, and alloplastic materials. All have their advantages and disadvantages. However, autogenous bone graft remains the gold standard for bone augmentation. Autogenous bone grafts are usually taken from the patient’s oral donor sites such as the chin and mandibular ramus. However, there is a newly developed implant preparation protocol, known as the peripheral-bone-removal (PBR) technique, which can provide bone augmentation from the dental implant site. Purpose: This study aims to determine the need for bone substitute materials in the PBR technique in dental implant surgery. Methods: This study included 130 patients who were treated for dental implants. These patients were treated between 7.1.2018 and 3.2.2023. Six dental implant systems were used. Five of these systems (ImplantKa®, DeTech®, NeoBiotech®, Easy Implant®, and Dentaurum® Implant) used a conventional method (sequential drilling technique). The sixth (IBS®) system used the PBR protocol. Both descriptive and Chi-Square Test statistics were used for data analysis. Results: The included patients were treated with a total of 198 dental implants. Seventy patients were treated with the PBR protocol, while 60 patients were treated with the sequential drilling protocol. For the PBR protocol, only 2 cases required bone substitute material, whereas 11 cases treated with the sequential drilling protocol required augmentation materials. This difference between both drilling protocols has been statistically confirmed (P=0.008). Conclusion: The PBR technique appears to be less traumatic and more cost-effective for cases that require horizontal bone augmentation.

Abstract

Background: Artificial tooth movement may compromise the occlusion of complete (or implant-supported complete) over-dentures. This movement can lead to traumatic occlusion that may need to be corrected because the planned harmonious occlusion is lost, mainly when anatomic artificial teeth are utilized. Purpose: The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the combination of gypsum plaster and laboratory silicon on the artificial teeth movement during the flasking procedure using radiographic imaging of intra-flask changes. Methods: In the current study, 90 identical mandibular complete dentures were fabricated and divided into two groups according to the acrylic material used. Stainless-steel pieces (0.5×0.5) were placed in the (buccal and mesiobuccal) cusp tips of the first premolar and first molar on both sides. Each group was subdivided into three subgroups (n=15) representing different techniques of flasking. Radiographs were taken at three phases of the flasking procedure, before and after the second investment layer and after curing the acrylic. The anteroposterior and mediolateral factors were calculated, and the data were analyzed by the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan’s post hoc tests at P˂0.05. Results: The anteroposterior factors of the groups had insignificant differences at all phases, and the mediolateral factors showed significant differences in the gypsum samples and total silicon samples. Conclusion: Anteroposterior movement of the artificial teeth was not changed due to bracing between the teeth, and a mixed silicon and plaster investing layer had the smallest teeth location changes during the packing and curing phases.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly worldwide, including in Indonesia. As a result, people developed a fear of visiting hospitals and a tendency to ignore symptoms unrelated to COVID-19. A zygomaticomaxillary complex bone fracture is one of the most frequent midface fractures and is often accompanied by infraorbital nerve paresthesia. Purpose: This article aims to report two cases of neglected zygomaticomaxillary complex bone fractures with persistent infraorbital nerve paresthesia caused by the patient’s fear of seeking medical care. Cases: The first case is a 19-year-old male with a history of trauma two weeks prior to hospital admission. He was diagnosed with a neglected zygomaticomaxillary complex bone fracture, which resulted in persistent infraorbital nerve paresthesia. This condition was due to the patient’s fear of visiting the hospital. The second case is a 21-year-old female who presented with a history of persistent numbness on the left cheek and upper lip for one month prior to hospital admission. The symptoms originated from an accident where the patient fell from a ladder measuring two meters in height. Case management: Surgical intervention—open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF)—was performed on both patients to promote nerve recovery. However, there is ongoing debate regarding the safety of elective oral maxillofacial surgery procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic. After a follow-up period, both patients experienced a recovery of sensory function in the infraorbital nerve. Conclusion: Infraorbital nerve sensory disturbance along with zygomaticomaxillary complex bone fracture found during the COVID-19 pandemic should be managed with ORIF to improve nerve recovery.

Abstract

Background: A survey to identify factors affecting the cooperation of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Indonesia is crucial for enhancing this group’s dental care, oral health, and overall quality of life. However, limited culturally relevant instruments hinder such research. Purpose: This study aims to determine the essential domain needed to design a questionnaire instrument that can predict the cooperativity of children with ASD during dental procedures. Methods: Based on the literature and existing questionnaires, the newly developed questionnaire underwent forward–back translation, before being thoroughly reviewed by an expert committee. The response format, content, and question clarity were evaluated. A cross-sectional study with 30 parents of children with ASD was randomly conducted to test the questionnaire. The validity of each question was measured by the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, while its reliability was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha. Results: Each question within the domain showed varying degrees of validity: reading ability (r = 0.658), daily communication (r = 0.541), involvement in social activity (r = 0.360), daily self-care ability (r = 0.506), emotional status (r = 0.426), sensory responsiveness (r = 0.615), language comprehension (r = 0.362), and permission to be touched on the head at a barbershop (r = 0.458). The questions were found to be reliable (Cronbach’s alpha, r = 0.645 > 0.306). Conclusion: As prediction tools for assessing the cooperativity of children with ASD during dental procedures, the questionnaire should include the following items: communication and reading abilities, daily self-care, social activity, emotional status, sensory responsiveness and permission to be touched on the head at a barbershop.

Abstract

Background: Endodontic sealers limit bacteria growth and clean the smear layer of the root canal. Biocompatible irrigants silver citrate and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) have a chelating agent that increases sealer penetration in dentinal tubules. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the final irrigation difference in epoxy resin and bioceramic sealer penetration into dentinal tubules at the apical third. Methods: A total of 30 extracted mandibular premolars were split into six groups; three received epoxy resin sealer and three received bioceramic resin with aquadest, silver citrate (BioAKT) or EDTA 17% irrigation. A confocal laser scanning microscope estimated sealer penetration in dentinal tubules. For quantitative data analysis, Olympus Fluoview ver.4.2a was used. Results: Silver citrate final irrigation with bioceramic resin sealer had the highest dentinal tubular penetration (24%; 1,431 µm), followed by EDTA 17% (20%; 1,202 µm), aquadest (16.3%; 969 µm), EDTA 17% with epoxy resin (15.8%; 938 µm, 14%; 803 µm), and distilled water (10%; 584 µm). Significant differences existed in all groups (p = 0.001). Epoxy resin sealer penetration into dentinal tubules was similar between final irrigants (p = 0.257) and bioceramic resin groups (p = 0.658). Conclusion: Silver citrate (BioAKT), a bioceramic resin sealer-based final irrigation solution, penetrates dentinal tubules better for endodontic therapy.

Abstract

Background: Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) causes dental caries. S. mutans biofilms are inhibited by the antibacterial properties of Ziziphus mauritiana Lam (Z. mauritiana Lam). Purpose: Evaluating the potential of Z. mauritiana Lam in inhibiting the growth and biofilm formation of S. mutans ATCC 25175 in vitro. Methods: This study used the ethanolic extract of Z. mauritiana Lam as the test material and S. mutans as the research subject. Spectrophotometry (620 nm) was used to assess the growth of S. mutans, the inhibition of S. mutans biofilm using a 1% crystal violet staining was measured by spectrophotometry (520 nm), and the visualization of the biofilm mass was conducted with an electric microscope (200x). Results: At all concentrations, Z. mauritiana Lam displayed excellent growth inhibition of S. mutans 0.04–0.09 (< 300 CFU/mL) and was able to inhibit the formation of S. mutans biofilm with a strong scale of optical density (OD) 0.4 at 24 hours incubation time. At the same time, the incubation time of 48 and 72 hours tended to have moderate-scale biofilm inhibition (OD 0.2–3.9). At a concentration of 25%, the biofilm mass decreased by a relatively small size, the same as the positive control group. At 50%, 12.5%, and 6.25%, it was seen that the S. mutans biofilm mass experienced a dominant loss. Conclusion: Z. mauritiana Lam can be bacteriostatic against the growth of S. mutans and can inhibit the formation of biofilms by degrading the structure and mass of S. mutans biofilms.

Abstract

Background: Octenidine dihydrochloride (OCT) has been used as a canal irrigation agent. However, no research has been done on its use as a primary root canal paste mixed with calcium hydroxide in primary teeth. Purpose: This study aims to determine the in vitro antibacterial effect of an experimental canal sealer prepared using OCT and calcium hydroxide (CaOH) on primary root canal pathogens and compare them to zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) and iodoform paste (IP). Methods: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Streprococcus mutans (S. mutans) and Enteroccus faecalis (E. faecalis) were used as microorganisms to determine their antibacterial effect. A disc diffusion test was applied to the strains of impregnated discs with canal sealer. The number of bacteria was standardized and incubated into the Mueller–Hinton growth medium. At the end of the incubation period, the inhibition zones around the discs were measured in millimeters and recorded. Results: When the diameters of the inhibition zones were compared, the experimental canal paste obtained by mixing OCT and CaOH at a ratio of 2:1 was found to have the highest antibacterial effect against S. aureus, S. mutans and E. faecalis, and the primary tooth canal paste containing iodoform, which is used routinely in clinical practice, had the lowest antibacterial effect. Conclusion: As a result of this study, the antibacterial effect of experimental canal sealer containing OCT–CaOH on S. mutans, S. aureus and E. faecalis was found to be considerably higher than the root canal sealer containing eugenol and iodoform.

Abstract

Background: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is the most common congenital anomaly found in Indonesia. CL/P is caused by hereditary (genetic) and environmental factors. Environmental factors can result in methylation in the promoter of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, affecting its expression. Methylation takes place at the CpG site found at chromosome 1, coordinates 11,805,406–11,806,509. Pyrosequencing technology can detect the percentage methylation of a gene quickly, simply, and accurately. Purpose: The aim of the study is to optimize detection of methylation of the MTHFR gene using the pyrosequencing method. Methods: Methods used in this study were DNA extraction from blood, DNA bisulfite conversion, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and methylation detection using CpG pyrosequencing assay. Samples were taken from 20 CL/P patients (C) and 44 normal patients (N). Results: The pyrosequencing method was successful in detecting methylation at three MTHFR gene sites at coordinates 11,805,507–11,805,529. The methylation level at the third site was higher in group C than in group N, while at the first and second positions, group C had a lower methylation level than group N. In general, the percentage of methylation for both groups was low or hypomethylated (less than 5%). Conclusion: The pyrosequencing method can be used to determine methylation levels in the MTHFR gene with the results presented as percentages (quantitative data). Hypomethylation occurs in groups C and N at the coordinates 11,805,507–11,805,529 of the MTHFR gene promoter.

Abstract

Background: Facial soft tissue trauma cases are often encountered in the emergency room. Soft tissue trauma, especially to the face, is rarely life threatening. It varies in shape, size, and depth and can also affect surrounding organs. The treatment of soft tissue trauma can be complicated and may have a significant impact on facial function and, especially, facial aesthetics. Children are easily injured due to their active nature. Soft tissue trauma to the faces of toddlers is challenging even for experienced surgeons; however, wound debridement and suture management under general anesthesia should be considered. Purpose: The aim of this article is to deliver a thorough overview of the evaluation and treatment of soft tissue injuries in children, covering initial assessments, physical examinations, the application of antimicrobial therapies, and preparation for surgical procedures. Case: An 11-month-old girl went to the emergency department of Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, with injuries to her left cheek and upper left lip sustained when she fell, and her face hit the edge of a cement pot at home. There was no history of unconsciousness, nausea and vomiting. The injury was diagnosed as vulnus laceratum of the left face and upper lip region. Case management: Emergency management was carried out by triage, Tetagam injection, and early wound debridement and suture under general anesthesia because the patient was uncooperative. Wounds on the face and lips were primary sutured layer by layer, returning the wound edges to their normal anatomical position. Conclusion: The management of facial soft tissue injuries in toddlers requires general anesthesia for adequate and accurate wound debridement and suture, so that functional and aesthetic effects can be satisfactorily obtained.

Abstract

Background: Pain control during endodontic treatment is essential but challenging, particularly in pediatric dentistry. Intraosseous anesthesia (IO) ensures adequate areas are anesthetized for endodontic treatment of the primary tooth with only a single injection site and a small amount of anesthetic solution required. Anesthesia should be delivered slowly to enhance the success rate, minimize pain and, for the IO technique, minimize risk of osteonecrosis. The IO anesthesia delivery system that meets such criteria is computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery (CCLAD). Purpose: To describe the enhancement of pediatric endodontic treatment with minimum risk intraosseous anesthesia using CCLAD. Case: An 8-year-old male patient came to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic at Padjadjaran University Dental Hospital reporting pain on the lower right second molar deciduous teeth, indicated for vital pulpectomy. Case Management: The procedure of vital pulpectomy was done under local anesthesia. Patient was given intraosseous injection with CCLAD prior to opening access. The point of injection was at two mm apical from distal interdental papillae of the lower right second molar deciduous teeth. The patient remained calm throughout the local injection and vital pulpectomy procedure. Conclusion: Intraosseous anesthesia is beneficial when used for pain control during pediatric endodontic therapy. The use of CCLAD gives comfort to the patient while lowering the risk of necrotizing alveolar bone.
