Good quantity and quality of bones are keys to the success of prosthodontic treatment. The quantity of bones is showed by the height of mandibular residual ridge, whereas the quality of bones is indicated by the bone density.The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the age, the bone density, and the height of the mandibular residual ridge. The observation is carried out to six edentulous menopausal women. The height of mandibular residual ridge and the mandibular bone density are measured by using CBCT-3D (Cone Beam Computed Tomography-3 Dimension). Pearson analysis of bivariate correlation is used to determine the relation between variables. As a result, there is a strong correlation between the increased of the age and the decrease of mandibular bone density (r=-0.922 with α=0.009). The study also shows a significant correlation between the decrease of the height of mandibular residual ridge and the decrease of the mandibular bone density (r=0.815 with α=0.048) and between the decrease of the height of mandibular residual ridge and the increase of the age (r=-0.89 with α=0.017).To summarize, the decrease of the height of mandibular residual ridge in this study correlates with the decrease of the mandibular bone density and the age.

Generally, the etiology of dental caries is the cariogenic properties of bacteria, these are always associated with Streptococcus mutans. Glucosyltransferase fragment (Gtf) are also in other strains of Streptococcus such as Streptococcus anginosus, Streptococcus milleri which includes beta hemolysis. Genotypically B Streptococcus anginosus has genetic characteristics that are similar to Streptococcus mutans. The research objective was to determine the existence of Gtf B/C gene as a cause of caries in Streptococcus anginosus. The study was conducted in experimental laboratories with PCR technique by taking a sample of 20 children who had caries. The results showed there was the amplification of Streptococcus anginosus with a level of homology 96%, 97%, and 99%. The results of the Gtf genes amplification fragment B/C provided 600 pb ribbon. The conclusion was Streptococcus anginosus classified as cariogenic bacteria because they had Gtf B/C genes.

Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involves fusion of the mandibular condyle to the base of the skull. Trauma and infection are the leading causes of ankylosis. A case of true bilateral ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint is presented. A 21-year-old male patient had a multiple bone fractures history at the age of 13 due to a sports injury. A TMJ injury might not be detected at that time resulting in a progressive restriction of his mouth opening. He presented with almost complete lack of mobility of the mandible. Surgical treatment was a resection of the ankylotic bone mass, interposition temporalis superficial fascia flaps, and early mobilization and aggressive physiotherapy. The functional results showed good remarks.

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.

Post is one element of the fixed restorations that is generally used to restore endodontically treated teeth at Prosthodontic Installation of Oral and Dental Hospital (RSGM) Faculty of Dentistry Universitas Padjadjaran, whereas Orden alloy is still used as cast post material. The faculty supplies Orden without packaging or manuals, so the information about its composition and mechanical properties are not available. This study was conducted to search the composition, tensile strength, and elastic modulus of Orden. For the composition test, a specimen with size 20x20x2 mm3 was tested with Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES). For tensile test, 6 specimens were made according to ASTM Standard E8. While for bending test, 6 specimens were made according to ASTM Standard E855. The Universal Testing Machine Instron 1195 was used to test the tensile strength and elastic modulus. The value of tensile strength of Orden was compared to gold alloy type III and the value of elastic modulus of Orden was compared to dentin. Composition test found that Orden was a brass with the largest ingredient of copper 53.76 wt%, followed by zinc 44.94 wt%, and aluminum 1.17 wt%. The statistic calculation showed that tensile strength of Orden was lower than gold alloy type III and the elastic modulus of Orden was higher than dentin.

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.

The miswak, a traditional chewing stick for cleaning teeth, is made from the plant Salvadora persica. It contains a wide range of healthy components in maintaining good oral hygiene. The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of whitening toothpaste containing Salvadora persica extract at removing tea and chlorhexidine stain by comparing with one of commercially available whitening toothpaste and drinking water as a control group. A randomized experimental study was done. The standard method cycled clear acrylic specimens through artificial saliva, 0.2% chlorhexidine and tea on the hour 8 times per day and stain were measured using a spectrophotometer to achieve baseline reading. Test interventions were 2 whitening kinds of toothpaste; whitening toothpaste containing Salvadora persica extract (group A), commercial whitening toothpaste (group B) and drinking water as a control group (group C). Treatment interventions were done at 09:00 and 16:00 by exposing the specimens to slurries of each treatment for 2 minutes. The specimens remained in the artificial saliva between each cycles day and night. At the end of the day, the stain was assessed by spectrophotometer and Lobene Stain Index. The comparison of total stain removal assessed by spectrophotometer on day 5 between all groups was significant (p=0.007). The median of total stain removal and visual assessment recording using Lobene stain index showed Salvadora persica whitening toothpaste scored more reduction of staining followed by commercial whitening toothpaste and then control group. As a conclusion, the whitening toothpaste containing Salvadora persica is more effective at removing tea and chlorhexidine stain.
