Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Peri-implantitis, an inflammatory response affecting the hard and soft tissues surrounding a dental implant, ultimately leads to a loss of osseointegration. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs), sourced from adipose tissue, have high biocompatibility and regenerative capacity, with advantages such as self-renewal, plasticity, and multilineage differentiation. Alveolar bone repair using hADMSC has been demonstrated in periodontitis animal models through the STRO-1, RUNX-2, Osx (Osterix), and COL-I pathways. This study utilized hADMSC intervention to analyze Osx’s impact on the osseointegration process of Y-TZP. Methods: This experimental study employed Wistar rats, divided into six treatment groups (three for week 1 and three for week 8) and one negative control group. The study design was a randomized post-test only control group. After Y-TZP scaffold implantation for one and eight weeks, histological analysis identified Osx expression on the mandibular bone surface of Rattus norvegicus albinus Wistar strain rats. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) results for Osx expression were compared using a One-Way ANOVA test for data analysis. Results: hADMSC cells reached optimal proliferation and maturity by passage 4, suitable for Y-TZP scaffold seeding. Characterization confirmed positive CD105, CD73, CD90, and negative CD45, CD34, CD14, CD19, HLA-DR expression. ANOVA (p<0.05) and post-hoc HSD showed significant Osterix differences, except between treatment groups P2, P3, and P4. Conclusion: Intervention with hADMSCs in Y-TZP dental implants can potentially overcome dental implant failure, as evidenced by a decrease in Osterix expression during osseointegration. This decreased Osterix expression facilitates osteoblast formation and promotes the homing of hADMSCs.KEYWORDS: Osx expression, hADMSC, osteointegration, dental, implants

Abstract

Introduction: Facial aesthetics significantly influence an individual's appearance and attractiveness. The chin is a crucial component of facial profile and personality. Lateral cephalometric radiography is frequently employed to assess the balance between skeletal structure and soft tissue, aiding in facial profile analysis, orthodontic diagnosis, and treatment planning. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between skeletal malocclusion and chin soft tissue thickness in patients at a Dental Hospital. Method: A cross-sectional study was employed. The research population comprised lateral cephalograms of orthodontic patients aged 15–28 years, taken at Unjani Dental Hospital between January 2018 and December 2023. A total of 81 cephalograms were selected using consecutive sampling, based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. These cephalograms were categorized into three malocclusion groups (Angle Class I, II, and III). Soft tissue thickness at the chin was measured from the skeletal to the soft tissue at the Pogonion (Pog-Pog'), Gnathion (Gn-Gn'), and Menton (Me-Me') points. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The average chin soft tissue thickness at the Pogonion point was greatest in Class II malocclusion (13.38 mm) compared with Class I (13.14 mm) and Class III (13.03 mm). Similarly, the greatest average thickness at the Gnathion point was also observed in the Class II malocclusion group. The ANOVA test yielded a p-value of 0.991 for Gnathion, while the Kruskal-Wallis test showed p-values of 0.918 for Pogonion and 0.698 for Menton. Conclusion: There is no relationship between skeletal malocclusion and chin soft tissue thickness among patients at a dental hospital.

Abstract

Introduction: Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans interact in dental plaque biofilm to form a synergistic caries process. As a result, preventing tooth cavities necessitates disrupting the interaction between these two bacteria. This can be accomplished by giving anti-biofilm substances such as goat's milk, which contains lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and lysozyme. Candida albicans in dental biofilms promotes more violent caries than biofilms generated only by Streptococcus mutants. This study aimed to analyze the antibiofilm of goat's milk against Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans biofilm masses quantitatively and qualitatively. Methods: The type of study used was an experimental laboratory with a Post-Test Control Group Design. The study was conducted utilizing the Biofilm Coverage Rate (BCR) and the Biofilm Assay to asses characteristics of the quantitative concentration of biofilm and the SDS-PAGE technique to observe the biofilm protein composition qualitatively. Results: The treatment group's BCR and Biofilm Assay concentrations were 0.45 ± 0.2 lower than the negative control group's 0.78 ± 0.25. Protein profile bands of S. mutans and C. albicans biofilms exposed to goat's milk ranged from 14.4 to 116 kDa. Conclusion: Goat milk exhibits anti-biofilm action against Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans biofilms.

Abstract

Introduction: Removable retainers are one of the devices used after active orthodontic treatment. Their use requires patient compliance with the prescribed wearing time; however, many patients remain non-compliant due to dissatisfaction with the removable retainer. This study aims to analyze the correlation between patient satisfaction with the use of a removable retainer and compliance. Methods: The research method used is correlational analysis. This study uses primary data collected through online questionnaires via Google Forms to patients of the Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital, aged 18-45 years, who have undergone orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances followed by the use of removable retainers for 1-24 months. The total sample consists of 38 subjects. The seven questions assessing satisfaction were used to calculate each respondent’s total satisfaction score. The data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Results: The data show that the majority of research subjects were satisfied (44.7%), and more than half were classified as compliant (57.9%). The correlation between patient satisfaction while using a removable retainer and compliance with its use resulted in a correlation coefficient of 0.447, with a significance value of 0.002 (p value<0.05). Conclusion: There is a moderately strong positive correlation between patient satisfaction with a removable retainer and patient compliance in wearing it.

Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Dental caries are caused by multiple factors, including both internal and external influences on individuals. The Kedungmundu Health Center area ranks first in the prevalence of dental caries among elementary school students, with 3.739 affected children. If left untreated, caries can lead to infection, spread to other teeth, and negatively affect overall oral health. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of pop-up books in improving dental caries knowledge among elementary school students. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a pre-post control group approach. The sample consisted of 66 students aged 10-11 years from SDN Sendangmulyo 01 Semarang, selected through simple random sampling. The participants were divided into two groups 33 in the experimental group and 33 in the control group. Statistical analysis was performed using a paired t-test. Results: Prior to the intervention, a majority of control participants (81.8%) and experimental participants (57.6%) displayed good understanding of dental caries. Following the counseling session, the experimental group exhibited significant improvement, with 81.8% attaining good knowledge compared to 60.6% in the control group. Statistical analysis revealed significant knowledge gains in the experimental group (p=0.006), confirming pop-up book media as an effective educational tool. Conclusion: Educational counseling using pop-up book media is effective in increasing dental caries knowledge among elementary school students.KEYWORDSSchool age children, dental health education, pop-up books

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Tooth autotransplantation is a viable treatment option for replacing extracted permanent teeth that have been damaged due to caries, trauma, and malformations. This method offers a quick and economical solution when a donor tooth is available to replace a non-restorable tooth. The purpose of this case report is to present a unique case of mandibular third molar autotransplantation performed in a 15-year-old patient, with five-year radiographic and clinical follow-up. Case report: A 15-year-old female patient presented with her parents to the emergency room at Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Regional Hospital, complaining of an unbearable toothache following a previous dental filling. Intraoral examination revealed tooth 46 with a glass ionomer cement (GIC) restoration, a positive percussion test, and no history of swelling. An orthopantomogram (OPG) examination showed a radiolucent area at the apex of tooth 46. Impacted tooth 48 was observed with periodontal tissue in good condition and an incompletely formed root. Autotransplantation was performed using tooth 48 after the extraction of tooth 46. At the five-year follow-up appointment after treatment, tooth 48 remained stable and fully functional, with no complications, including mobility or infection. Conclusion: Tooth autotransplantation is an effective option for replacing missing teeth in young patients. Long-term success can be achieved with appropriate patient selection, atraumatic surgical technique, and careful postoperative care.KEYWORDSMandible, immature teeth, third molars, autotransplantation, extraction

Abstract

Introduction: Dental caries is often associated with bacterial pathogens such as Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, which lower the oral pH and contribute to tooth damage. Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) is commonly used in vital pulp therapy due to its antibacterial properties; however, it may cause adverse effects, including pulp necrosis. As a natural alternative, tobacco leaf extract (Nicotiana tabacum) extract has shown potential due to its content of antibacterial compounds such as flavonoids and terpenoids. This study aims to analyse the antibacterial effect of Nicotiana tabacum leaf as an antibacterial agent against A. actinomycetemomitans. Methods: An in-vitro experimental laboratory research with a post-test-only control group design. The antibacterial activity was tested using the plate count method on samples from seven different groups. The test was conducted using the microdilution method in 96-well plates, followed by the plate count method for bacterial enumeration. The test samples included Nicotiana tabacum leaf extract at concentrations of 3.125%, 6.25%, 12,5%, 25%, and 50%, with calcium hydroxide serving as the positive control and distilled water as the negative control. The data were analysed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’ HSD post hoc test. Results: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extract against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans of 12.5% while a concentration of 25% represented the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The 25% concentration exhibited antibacterial activity comparable to that of calcium hydroxide. The Tukey HSD post hoc test revealed significant differences between the negative control and the Nicotiana tabacum leaf extract at concentrations of 6.25% (p=0.025), 12.5% (p=0.001), 25% (p=0.001), and 50% (p=0.001). This study aims to analyse the antibacterial effect of Nicotiana tabacum leaf as an antibacterial agent against A. actinomycetemomitans. Conclusion: Nicotiana tabacum leaf extract exhibits antibacterial activity against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, with an MIC of 12.5% and an MBC of 25%.

Abstract

Introduction: Pulpectomy is a common treatment for primary teeth affected by irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis, with the goal of preserving their function and condition until natural exfoliation occurs. Successful outcomes depend not only on effective canal debridement but also on the selection of an appropriate final restoration. Bioflx crowns are a newly introduced full-coverage restoration that offers both aesthetic and functional benefits, making them suitable for pediatric patients. This case report presents a novel treatment for an 8-year-old patient who underwent a pulpectomy, followed by the placement of Bioflx crowns. Case Report: An 8-year-old girl complained of persistent pain in her lower left posterior tooth for the past two weeks. Clinical and radiographic examination confirmed a diagnosis of pulp necrosis in tooth #75. The treatment plan included pulpectomy followed by Bioflx crown placement, based on parental preference for a durable and aesthetic solution. This case highlights the application of a flexible hybrid polymer crown in a post-endodontic primary molar-an approach rarely reported. The report provides a comprehensive account of the clinical procedure and short-term outcomes. At each visit, favorable healing was observed, with no discomfort or signs of reinfection. After one month of follow-up, radiographic evaluation confirmed adequate obturation and crown margin adaptation. Conclusion: Bioflx crowns demonstrated clinical effectiveness as a restorative option following pulpectomy in pediatric patients, with excellent marginal integrity, retention, and aesthetics observed during follow-up.

Abstract

Introduction: The aging process introduces behavioral and physiological challenges, including tooth loss. While complete dentures restore function and aesthetics, inadequate hygiene compromises their effectiveness. Existing educational resources often lack clarity and do not adequately support behavior change. This study aimed to analyze a complete denture hygiene maintenance instruction. Methods: This study employed an experimental one-group pretest and posttest design, involving 37 elderly participants from Panti Jompo Pusaka 41 Yayasan Al-Madiniyah. A 15-item questionnaire was administered through structured interviews both before and two weeks after the distribution of a booklet on denture hygiene maintenance instruction techniques. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze differences. Results: Following the two-week intervention, 78% of participants achieved good knowledge scores, 84% demonstrated good attitudes, and 73% reported good hygiene practices. Wilcoxon analysis showed significant improvements across all three domains (p=0,001). Conclusion: The use of instructional booklets can enhance a complete denture hygiene maintenance instruction among the elderly. Although behavior is presented as an overall outcome, the analysis was conducted independently for each domain to ensure interpretive clarity.

Abstract

Introduction: Age estimation using ectocranial and endocranial cranial sutures is an important technique in forensic science and forensic odontology. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the relationship, accuracy, and reliability of this method by reviewing findings from previously published studies. Methods: A systematic search was conducted on electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify relevant research published between 2019 and 2024. Inclusion criteria encompassed original studies that applied cranial suture methods for age estimation on adult human cranial bone samples. Out of 23 identified articles, 7 met the criteria and were included in the quantitative analysis. Results: A moderate to strong positive correlation between the biological age of adults and the closure score of cranial sutures (coronal, sagittal, and lambdoid) both ectocranially and endocranially (r=0.58) with a 95% confidence interval [0.2928,0.7750]. Factors affecting accuracy include population variation, types of sutures evaluated, and scoring methods. Conclusion: This meta-analysis confirms that the cranial suture method has limited utility in forensic age estimation. Nevertheless, this technique can still provide additional information when used in conjunction with other skeletal and dental indicators. Standardization of methodology and further research are needed to improve the accuracy of cranial suture-based age estimation.
