Hypersensitivity towards the metals used in fixed orthodontic is sometimes seen in patients who receive orthodontic treatment with clinical symptoms found intraorally. Nickel is the metal that may cause sensitivity and often causes slow hypersensitivity reaction (immune response type IV) because nickel is the main component of orthodontic alloy. The allergic reaction is found in the form of oral inflammation triggered by the corrosion of orthodontic alloy. The allergic reaction is seen in the form of oral inflammation triggered by corrosion of orthodontic materials and continuous nickel particle release. Young patients, especially female patients, with allergic reaction show a predisposition of NiACS (Nickel Induced Allergic Contact Stomatitis) clinical symptoms. Therefore, dentists and orthodontists should be more careful and cautious in doing a clinical examination to patients through data collecting data on history of abnormalities and health history in the effort of making diagnosis and plan appropriate treatment.

Introduction: Varnish is one of the dental materials that can be used to protect the pulp. Raw materials for making varnish were easy to be obtained using simple technique and composition. Self-processed varnish which has 40 gr of copal, 50 ml of 95% alcohol and 10 ml of chloroform was produced. When applied, varnish formed a thin film layer which tend to porous. The purpose of this study was to analyze the comparison between porosity which formed in film layer of self-processed and factory varnish. Method: This study was true experimental with 12 third upper molars that had been cut horizontally as specimens and were divided into 2 groups as treated and control groups. First group had 1, 2, 3 and 4 times application of processed varnish as treated sample and second group samples were applied with factory varnish as control sample. Porosity was tested using SEM then its percentage was calculated by comparing the porosity and the tooth area. The data was then tested with t- independent test. Result: The result showed that self-processed varnish obtained larger percentage of porosity. Started at the third application time, both processed and factory varnish showed no porosity. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study was that there is difference between porosity which formed in film layer of self-processed and factory varnish.

A total number of people living with HIV reached since it was first reported. Indonesia is on the brink of rapidly worsening AIDS epidemic. Oral health was a frequent problem among HIV-infected person. Opportunistic oral lesions and infections were often one of the first manifestations of HIV. The aim of this literature review was to discuss complication risks and management undergoing invasive dental procedures. Thereby, dentists have been expected to increase awareness of dental treatment needs for HIV-infected patients by pay attention to applied standard procedure. The complications of HIV-infected patients were reported minor, self-limiting, non-life threatening and readily treated. Treatment planning for the patient with HIV follows the same sequences as with other patients priorities are to assuage pain, restore function, prevent further disease and consider esthetic results. We concluded that no different complication risks between HIV-infected and non-infected. Dentists can provide care for HIV-infected patients with assessing the current immunosuppression stage, intake systemic medications, opportunistic infection potential and minimize contagion possibility to dental care professional or other patients.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Oral cancer is a major health problem in the world, indicated by a high incidence of recurrence. In Southeast Asia, oral cancer ranks sixth from all cancers on the human body. The incidence of oral cancer, especially squamous cell carcinoma types, increases every year, but the prognosis and patients life expectancy are still unsatisfying enough and the reports about the profile of oral cancer is still limited.The objective of this research was to get the epidemiological profile of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Methods: The research method was observational analytic with cross-sectional design. All new OSCC cases in three anatomic pathology laboratory installations in Yogyakarta (January 2011-December 2015) were included in this study. Data collected were gender, age, anatomical location, and histology. All data were analyzed using statistical analysis program. Results: OSCC new cases amount increasing each year: 6 cases (6.6%) in 2011, and increased to 24 cases (26.4%) in 2015. Fifty-two of the 91 cases (57.1%) were found on male. The age group with the most cases was found in group of 41-60 years (49.5%). There is no difference in the case distribution by age between male and female. Forty-eight cases were found in the lingual part (52.7%). Histological examination showed 68 cases (74.7%) were well-differentiated carcinoma. Conclusion: OSCC profile in Yogyakarta mostly found in men with anatomical location in the lingual part in the age group above 40 years of age and were having well-differentiated histology.Keywords: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), Epidemiologic profile, Yogyakarta

High-speed contra angle is a potential source of cross-infection due to its working system in blowing up water, saliva and microorganisms from the patients, as well as dental unit water line contamination. This experimental Quasy laboratory study aimed to determine the reduce of bacteria in high-speed contra angle after 70% alcohol swabbing and flushing for 30 seconds and identifying the presence of the pathogen. This study was conducted on 35 lower molar teeth with caries without abscess in patients during pulp opening with the contra-angle. Afterwards, the contra-angle was immersed in sterile aquadest and flushed. The immersed and flushed water were sampled then cultured on blood agar plates. The colony forming units were counted manually: Group I, was the control; Group II, after used on patients; and Group III, after treatment and swabbed with 70% alcohol and flushed. The data were statistically analyzed according to Anava and continued by test with least significant differences (LSD). The results showed that in bacterial identification there were pathogens. The bacteria amount was reduced after swabbing the contra-angle from 50.88±40.33 to 10.31±20.02 cfus. After flushing, the cfus decreased from 169.74±53.76 to 73.03±36.39. Based on the variant and LSD analyzes (p<0.01), CFU was significantly different among the three groups. Conclusion: 70% alcohol swabbing and flushing could reduce the bacterial amount in high-speed contra angle and there was the presence of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the usage of high-speed contra-angle.

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.

Introduction: Abnormalities of the dental pulp can have several different diagnoses. Therefore, the dental pulp characteristics must be known in more detail and clear so that diagnosis be established more precisely and accurately. One characteristic of the pulp can be seen from the density value through the 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (3D CBCT). Methods: The study was conducted with a simple descriptive method. The population is all the data 3D CBCT of patients who visited the Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital (RSGM Unpad) in 2012. Samples of the research were 75 pulps with normal, inflammation, and necrosis conditions and calculate the average density value. Results: Density values for dental pulps in the normal teeth between 465 - 775 HU, the inflammation teeth between 243.5 - 396 HU, and necrosis teeth between - 461.5 - -170 HU. Conclusion: There are differences in dental pulp density between the normal pulp, inflammation and necrosis through 3D CBCT.

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.
