An easily ionized fluoride compound like Sodium Fluoride (NaF) has been used thus far as a dental caries prevention substance. However, fluoride ions also have a negative effect because it is very toxic. Several types of research on the effect of fluoride on guinea pigs and human beings indicate the presence synthesis obstruction of T3 and T4 that causes declined production, known as hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism condition may obstruct tissue growth process and metabolism so as to impact various body organ systems. Preventive efforts against hypothyroidism caused by fluoride include avoiding diffusible fluoride compound intake, like NaF, in a long run systemic use, whereas efforts to overcome fluoride intoxication include consuming food that is rich in calcium, vitamin D, and antioxidant.

The habit of smoking white cigarettes and clove cigarettes may affect the gustatory function, that is, it will cause damage to taste buds, resulting in an increase in gustatory threshold. This research used the descriptive comparative method and had the purpose of obtaining an illustration of gustatory threshold and compare gustatory threshold in white cigarette smokers and clove cigarette smokers in young, male adults. For gustatory threshold evaluation, the Murphy method was used to obtain a value for perception threshold and taste identification threshold using sucrose solution of 0.0006 M-0.06 M concentration. Research results indicate that the perception threshold and identification threshold of young, male adult smokers are 0.0119 M and 0.0292 M. Young, male adult clove cigarette smokers have a perception threshold and identification threshold of 0.0151 M and 0.0348 M. The conclusion of this research is that the perception threshold of young, male adult white cigarette smokers and clove cigarette smokers are the same, whereas the identification threshold of young, male adult white cigarette smokers and clove cigarette smokers are different, that is, the identification threshold of clove cigarette smokers is higher than that of white cigarette smokers.

Thalassemia beta major is a hereditary hemolytic anemia disease with various grades of severity, which can be found with no or less globin chain qualitative synthesis. The patient often experiences hepatosplenomegaly, growth retardation and bone disorder and the thalassemia facies/chipmunk face appearance. The orofacial manifestations of beta thalassemia major are prominent cheekbones and protrusive premaxillae due to erythroid hyperplasia with the depressed bridge of the nose. The dentition shows protrusion, flaring and spacing of the maxillary anterior teeth, open bite that leads to malocclusion. The anemic condition makes the patient is difficult to do all oral hygiene instruction thus caries index will increase. Dental practitioners especially pediatric dentists are required to have awareness towards the nature of the disease and its implication on dental care. Collaboration with haematologist has to be made in every dental treatment.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is the most common Leukemia seen in children. This disease has a manifestation in the oral mucosa, which is caused by either the disease itself or its treatment by chemotherapy, such as mucositis. Oral mucositis is one of a common, debilitating complication of cancer chemotherapy. Mucosal toxicity depends on Several factors; one of them is the duration of the therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate chemotherapy-induced mucositis pursuant to a different phase of chemotherapy in children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Twenty children diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia who received induction, consolidation, and maintenance chemotherapy of Hasan Sadikin Hospital were included in this study. The criteria used for assessing mucositis was based on general mucositis scale from WHO. Data were collected and presented in the form of tables and percentages. The results showed that every child had developed mucositis during the course of chemotherapy in the induction and consolidation phase, except one child in the maintenance group did not the. at the induction phase 14,3% had developed mucositis at scale 2 and 86,7 at scale 3, consolidation phase 50% at scale 2 and 50% at scale 1, and in maintenance phase 14,3% in scale 28,6% in scale 1, and 57,1 in scale 2. Generally, it was concluded that mucositis develops in every phase of chemotherapy but the scale is slighter as the course of chemotherapy enters the advanced phases.

The problem in first-class free end lever (distal extension base) Removable Partial Denture (RPD) is the lever force on the retention point that may harm the abutment tooth which has been discussed many times, but the amount of force on the fulcrum point (rest) on the abutment tooth has never discussed yet. The objective of this paper is to analyze the amount of force on the fulcrum point in the first class lever of lower free end denture on the two dimension static models. The analysis result reveals that the force on the fulcrum point is bigger than the mastication force on the free end saddle, or the force on the fulcrum point is equal to the sum of the force of the saddle and the force on the retention point. The force on the fulcrum point may cause trauma to the periodontal tissue of the abutment tooth. To decrease the amount of force on the fulcrum point is by mastication force limitation, decreasing the distance between the mastication point and the fulcrum point; and increasing the distance between retention point and fulcrum point. For clinical application, there are many biological variables to be considered.

The acrylic artificial teeth are still among the most frequently used artificial teeth. Some commercial brands marketed in Bandung claim that their products have met the existing standards. However, those brands do not give any mechanical property data, including data on hardness. The ADA specification standard no. 15 requires a hardness of minimum 15.00 KHN for acrylic artificial teeth. The aim of this study is to find out which acrylic artificial teeth actually have a standardized hardness value. The study is an analytical descriptive study, which is performed on 5 brands of acrylic artificial teeth marketed in Bandung. From each brand, 4 teeth were sampled and receive 10 indentation spots on the upper and lower surfaces. It is concluded that the five acrylic artificial teeth brands have met the ADA specification standard no. 15 and there are differences in hardness values among the five brands.

Skeletal Class III malocclusions are caused by maxillary deficiency, mandibular protrusion, or a combination of the two. This patient, in this case, may have a sunken in face, strong chin appearance. Most persons with Class III malocclusions, which is a dentofacial deformity, show combinations of skeletal and dentoalveolar components. Orthodontic therapy is usually aimed at compensating for the underlying mild-moderate skeletal Class III discrepancy and patients with severe skeletal Class III discrepancies require a combination of orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery to correct the underlying skeletal pattern. By considering many factors, the orthodontic treatment can be done on mild to severe skeletal Class III. These factors are facial profile, dental relationship and skeletal pattern. Those factors should be considered a starting point in making a treatment decision. They give the limitation of orthodontic treatment in terms of whether the occlusion could be corrected, or whether the deformity could be camouflage.

The success of endodontic treatment depends on the quality of endodontic treatment and the final restoration. The mean reason for endodontic treatment failure is usually microleakage. That is why it becomes one of the priorities for dental research to prevent microleakage. Infection during the root canal treatment can be prevented. First, by employing strict aseptic clinical techniques follows by cleaning all bacteria and preoperative necrotic pulp-tissue remnants from the root canal. Irrigants are essential in this phase. The shaping of the canal is also an important prerequisite for endodontic success. Removal of the smear layer can enhance seal ability. Second, obturation of the root canal should leave the tooth in the most biological inert condition possible, and it must prevent reinfection as well as the growth of any microorganisms remaining in the canal. The application of an antibacterial dressing between appointments is absolutely necessary or the root canal has to be obturated at the first appointment in order to deprive the microorganisms of nutrients and space to multiply. The temporary filling must be at least 3.5 mm thick. Failure occurs because of missed canals, iatrogenic events and radicular fractures have to be avoided. At the end, clinicians have to confirm that the root canal is cleaned and hermetically obturated because hermetic root canal filling will prevent the leakage of an irritant to the apical area.

Widely used materials are reported as denture cleansers are peroxide and hypochlorite. Many contradictions on the effectiveness of the commercial peroxide base solution against Candida albicans (C. albicans). Low concentration sodium hypochlorite (0.5%) is used as a household sanitizer. But it is still unknown whether it has an antifungal effect, what is the optimum concentration and contact time to destroy the yeast. The purpose of this study is to examine the antifungal efficacy of commercial peroxide-based soaking solution and low concentration sodium hypochlorite against C. albicans, to determine the optimum concentration and contact time, and at the end, to obtain an effective denture soaking solution which is safe to use, easy to get, affordable and could be used to destroy C. albicans on dentures. The research conducted was an in vitro practical test for surface disinfectant. Sixty plates of acrylic which were already incubated with C. albicans are immersed in peroxide and hypochlorite base soaking solution in different concentration and contact time. The result showed that peroxide base was not effective to C. albicans and hypochlorite base solution can destroy C. albicans in 10 minutes at a concentration of 0,125%. Thus, the use of low concentration sodium hypochlorite as a denture soaking solution can be suggested.
