Abstract

Background: Due to its capacity to generate extracellular polymeric substances that aid in biofilm creation, Streptococcus mutans is a leading cause of dental caries. Natural remedies, including traditional plant extracts, are being explored for their antimicrobial potential. Laportea interupta (L. interupta), known as jelatang in Indonesia, is alleged to possess a bacteria-inhibiting effect. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential use of L. interupta leaf ethanolic extract to inhibit S. mutans proliferation and adherence to hydroxyapatite (HA) discs, simulating the tooth surface. Methods: The broth microdilution approach was utilized to evaluate the minimum concentration of the extract that inhibits bacterial growth. For anti-adherence assessment, HA discs pre-coated with saliva were exposed to different extract concentrations and incubated with S. mutans. Bacterial adhesion was visualized using 0.1% crystal violet staining, quantified spectrophotometrically at 595 nm, and further verified using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: The extract showed inhibitory effects on S. mutans growth at 7,500 μg/ml (MIC). Anti-adherence activity was optimal at 1,500 μg/ml, and SEM analysis confirmed a reduced biofilm formation on extract-treated samples. Conclusion: Laportea interupta ethanolic leaf extract demonstrated both antibacterial and anti-adherence effects against S. mutans, suggesting its potential as a natural anti-biofilm agent for oral health applications.

Abstract

Background: A disaster is a serious disruption in the functioning of a society that can cause many losses. It can be caused by nature or humans. When the loss of life is on a large scale, the recovery process is made more complicated by simultaneous identification operations. Biological profiling is of paramount importance when investigating cases; the age at which a victim dies is crucial for reconstructing the victim’s life. Purpose: The purpose of this case study is to highlight the utility of palatal suture obliteration as a valuable indicator for age estimation in adults, especially when there are minimal remaining dental elements that make age estimation by other methods of dental analysis impossible. Case: The author presents a case of burn victims due to a fire disaster in the fuel oil terminal area in Jakarta that killed several victims. As they were found in a visually unrecognizable condition, without identity documents, and in a state where the victims’ teeth left few dental elements, effort is needed to assist in identifying the victims, including victim age estimation techniques with ideal methods that can be applied in the field. Case management: The Crow-Glassman Scale (CGS) is used to describe the extent of burns to tissue remnants. On external examination, all body parts showed the burns reaching level 3 CGS. The victim is estimated to be over 50 years old. Decision making is based on the guidelines of the Mann method, wherein if more than 50% of the anterior median palatine suture is obliterated, then the minimum estimated age is 50 years. Conclusion: The obliteration of the palatal sutures can be used as supporting evidence when considered alongside other more reliable age indicators that can narrow down the age of unidentified individuals.

Abstract

Background: Corncob powder is a promising filler that needs to be assessed when it is incorporated into inlay waxes to modified its properties. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effect of different concentrations of corncob powder filler on physical and mechanical properties of inlay waxes. Methods: Five groups of inlay waxes were prepared from paraffin, corncob powder, carnauba wax, and beeswax in varying proportions (w/w%), namely, group I (70:0:25:5), II (65:5:25:5), III (60:10:25: 5), IV (55:15:25:5), and V (50:20:25:5). The wax mixture was heated at 80°C, filtered, added with corncob powder, and stirred until homogeneous then poured into mold for melting point, residue on ignition, flow, hardness, and trimming samples. They were based on ANSI/ADA specification no.122 and ASTM D 1321. The data were analyzed through one-way ANOVA, post-hoc LSD, and Tamhane tests (p = 0.05), except trimming test data. Results: One-way ANOVA revealed that the concentration of corncob filler influenced all inlay waxes properties (p<0.05). LSD and Tamhane post-hoc test, showed significant different among mostly between groups of tests. Addition corncob powder increased the melting point, hardness, and residue of inlay waxes but decreased the flow of inlay waxes. Addition corncob did not influence the trimming property of inlay waxes. Conclusion: The concentration of corncob filler added in inlay wax compositions influenced the melting point, flow, hardness and residue properties but did not influence trimming properties. Inlay wax containing 10% corncob filler potential as a local inlay wax, but further research should be done to overcome the residue on ignition property that higher than standards.

Abstract

Background: The majority of children in Indonesia, particularly in Jakarta, continue to experience numerous dental and oral health issues, with dental caries being especially prevalent. Caries is a multifactorial disease that, in children, can be caused by personal habits or external influences. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between caries risk factors and the occurrence of caries in primary school children in West Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: The study was conducted in three public primary schools in West Jakarta in November 2023. Oral examinations and questionnaires were completed by all students from fourth to sixth grade, with a total sample size of 421 students. In this study, caries was the dependent variable, and the independent variables included sociodemographic factors, oral health behaviors, smoking habits, and dietary habits. Data analysis involved bivariate analysis and the application of a multivariate prediction model using logistic regression. Results: The variables significantly associated with dental caries were never visiting the dentist (p < 0.05), brushing teeth never or only several times a week (p < 0.05), never consuming fruits (p < 0.05), and consuming biscuits several times a day (p < 0.05). However, other variables—such as parental education, use of oral cleaning tools and fluoride toothpaste, smoking habits, and consumption of certain sweet foods and beverages—did not show a significant association. Conclusion: The most substantial factors contributing to dental caries were infrequent toothbrushing and frequent consumption of biscuits. Interestingly, children who never visited the dentist had lower incidences of caries.

Abstract

Background: Numerous epidemiological studies reported a close relationship between smoking and the occurrence of dental caries. Purpose: To investigate the distribution of tooth decay, lost teeth, and fillings among adults of different smoking habits in Mosul City. Methods: A total of 400 people aged 20–40 years were randomly selected from 30 coffee shops in Mosul City and were divided into 8 groups of 50 participants each, as follows: male non-smokers; male cigarette smokers; male e-cigarette smokers; male hookah smokers; male cigarette + hookah smokers; male e-cigarette + hookah smokers; female hookah smokers; female non-smokers. Participants were examined using the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index. Results: The cigarette group had the greatest average decayed tooth value, followed by the e-cigarette and the hookah group, which had the least. The highest DMFT values were obtained in the cigarette group and the lowest in the hookah group. Missing teeth were highest in the cigarette + hookah group. Hookah-smoking women had significantly higher tooth decay than non-smoking groups. There was no significant difference in missing and filled teeth. Women had more decayed teeth on average than men when smoking hookah. Cigarette-smoking men had the highest percentage who answered “no” to brushing teeth, and the majority of men in each group answered “no” to the use of auxiliary aids. Women in the non-smoking group brushed their teeth on a more regular basis than women in the hookah group, with no difference regarding the usage of auxiliary aids. Conclusion: Smoking increased caries and DMFT values in both men and women.

Abstract

Background: There is a limited number of studies on the prevalence of dental anxiety among the general population in Malaysia and its association with mental health. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of dental anxiety and its association with mental health. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 474 adults attending a public hospital in Kuantan, Malaysia. Participants were required to answer validated, self-administered questionnaires that used the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS). Data were analyzed using chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between dental anxiety and other variables. Results: A total of 461 respondents completed the questionnaire, with a response rate of 97.3%. The prevalence of dental anxiety among respondents was very high (93.1%). We found that females were 2.3 times more likely to have dental anxiety than males. Meanwhile, an increase in age by one year reduced the likelihood of having dental anxiety by 3%. However, no significant association was found between dental anxiety and mental health. Conclusion: The majority of adults in Kuantan were found to have dental anxiety. Female and younger patients were more likely to have dental anxiety. Our study failed to find any association between dental anxiety and mental health.

Abstract

Background: A comprehensive understanding of maxillary sinus anatomy is essential for successful maxillofacial surgical interventions. The presence of bony septa along the inner surface of the sinus significantly increases the risk of Schneiderian membrane perforation during sinus floor elevation procedures for dental implant placement. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the frequency, localization, and lateralization of maxillary sinus septa using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) prior to sinus surgery. Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography images of 750 patients (353 men, 397 women) were included in this study. Cases with sinus septa were analyzed based on gender, anatomical location (anterior, middle, posterior), and lateralization (unilateral or bilateral). All data were recorded and statistically analyzed to determine prevalence rates. Results: The average age of the patients was 35 years. A total of 1,500 maxillary sinuses (right and left) were examined, and 275 sinus septa (32%) were identified in 240 patients. Of these, 60 septa (22%) were located in the anterior region, 140 (51%) in the middle, and 75 (27%) in the posterior region. Conclusion: In this study, sinus septa were present in 32% of patients in the Turkish population. Recognizing and detecting maxillary sinus septa with CBCT is important for preventing complications during surgical procedures.

Abstract

Background: Early cancer diagnosis is very important for cancer treatment and improvement of patient prognosis, but the development of effective cancer treatment agents is also necessary to overcome cancer. Accordingly, research is being actively conducted to derive ingredients that control cancer progression. Purpose: The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Rhynchosia nulubilis have been reported in various human cells. We attempted to ascertain the underlying mechanism by which the ethanol extracts of Rhynchosia nulubilis (EERN) induced cytotoxicity and cell cycle arrest in human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. Methods: The EERN was prepared from the whole Rhynchosia nulubilis. A 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was performed for cytotoxicity of EERN in YD38 OSCC cells. A Matrigel-coated Transwell was used for invasion assay. Changes in the cell cycle distribution were monitored using fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis. A phosphorylated form of H2AX (γH2AX) foci formation was observed using a fluorescence microscope. Results: Invasion activity of YD38 cells in a Matrigel-coated Transwell was significantly decreased by EERN in a dose-dependent manner. Cytotoxicity was observed at a treatment concentration of 8–10 mg/ml EERN, which induced Transwell invasion inhibition. The YD38 cells were more sensitive to EERN cytotoxicity than immortalized gingival fibroblasts. The EERN treatment arrested the YD38 cell cycle in the G2/M phase, and DNA damage marker γH2AX formation was increased by the EERN treatment. The phosphorylation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Chk2 was also increased by EERN treatment. Conclusion: These results indicate that EERN inhibits YD38 cancer cell growth and invasion activity through DNA damage and cell cycle arrest.
