Abstract

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.

Abstract

Alveolar ridge will commonly decrease in volume and change morphologically, as a result of a tooth loss. These changes are usually clinically significant and can make placement of a conventional protesa  or an implant more difficult. Socket preservation after tooth extraction can minimize ridge resorption. By using socket preservation techniques, it is possible to preserve the height and width of the ridge. Socket preservation can be done by atraumatic tooth extraction, placement of bone graft material, membrane, combination of bone graft and membrane, and connective tissue graf.

Abstract

Oromaxilofacial fracture will have associated with head injury due to its adjacent location and structure. The oromaxillofacial structure is considered to be as force silencer for trauma so that it can protect the intracranial structures. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is a specific enzyme within neuron cells and can be detected rapidly in serum. The objective of the study was to investigate the increased serum NSE level in adult patients with oromaxillofacial fracture with mild head injury; and to investigate the correlation between serum NSE level and the location of oromaxillofacial fracture (upper, middle, lower regions, or the combinations) in adult patients with mild head injury. This study used the analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design, that conducted in Department of Neurosurgery, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Laboratory of Clinical Pathology, Dr Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, from August to October 2008. The serum NSE level examination was undertaken by blood sample taking then examined with electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). The data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney test to seek the increased serum NSE level; using Kruskal-Wallis to seek the mean of increased serum NSE levels by location of oromaxillofacial fracture; and using Spearman ranked correlation test to seek the correlation between the increased serum NSE levels and location of oromaxillofacial fracture in adult patients with mild head injury. The study results indicated that there was an increased serum NSE level in adult patients with oromaxillofacial fracture with mild head injury by 13.12 ng/mL compared to adult healthy group by 7.72 ng/mL (p<0.001). By upper, middle, and lower regions of oromaxillofacial fracture, the serum NSE level of oromaxillofacial fracture at combined upper-middle-lower region was significantly the highest, i.e., 21.14 ng/mL (p=0.049). A positive correlation between the increased serum NSE level and location of oromaxillofacial fracture caused by mild head injury existed (rs=0.33, p=0.020). In conclusion, there was an increased serum NSE level in adult patients with oromaxillofacial fracture with mild head injury; and there was also a positive correlation between the increased serum NSE level and location of oromaxillofacial fracture due to mild head injury.

Abstract

Introduction: Composite-resin is widely used as a restorative material in dental practice on a daily basis when it comes to an aesthetic consideration. The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the light penetration capabilities of three light curing units (LCU) through layers of composite resin using a radiometer.  Method: Composites resin discs (2mm thick with 8 mm diameter) were cured out of seven different shades. Each specimen were used as a barrier, and a light source from three different LCUS was then applied through it. The radiometer was used to record the intensities of each LCU. Result: LED.C (Woodpecker™) has the lowest penetration capabilities to pass through the barrier compared to all LCU. The output intensity (mW/cm2) of all LCU has decreased gradually. ANOVA test showed that there was the significant result (p<0.01) for each specimen. Conclusion: The differences composite-resin shade could decrease the penetration capability of LCU.

Abstract

Undergoing medical procedures often extremely distress people, especially patients with special needs. Supportive examinations, such as radiographic and laboratory examinations, as a part of medical procedure sometimes are impossible to be done in those patients, while we demand those tests for diagnostic and treatment reasons. A variety of techniques are available to the dental and medical professional to aid in the management of these patients regarding medical procedures, one of them is sedation. By eliminating patient’s fear and anxiety throughout sedation, all medical procedure including taking a supportive examination may be successfully completed. This paper will report the role of sedation as a technique to aid in the supportive examination for special needs child (Down’s syndrome) in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, West Java Indonesia.

Abstract

Streptococcus sanguinis (formerly S. sanguis) is a Gram-positive, facultative anaerobe,  nonmotile , normal  inhabitant of the human oral cavity, and  a member of  the viridans group of streptococci. Among the streptococcus, S. sanguinis is a  primary colonizer in the human tooth surface or it is recognize as a ‘pioneer’ by forming dental plaque. The aim of this paper is to review the role of Streptococcus sanguinis  in the adherence to and  invasion of  human tissues.  S. sanguinis  has been reported  that it is associated  with healthy  tooth  surfaces  but not with caries. S. sanguinis  tend to involved in an interspecies interactions with Streptococcus mutans, which is known as  competition/coexistence within dental biofilm.  In their colonization, this bacteria used enzyme sortase A (SrtA) to cleave  LPXTG-containing proteins sequence and  anchored  the  cell wall, while virulence factors  in infective endocarditis  involved housekeeping functions such as cell wall synthesis, amino acid and nucleic acid synthesis, and the ability to survive under anaerobic conditions.

Abstract

One of the objectives of successful endodontic treatment is the hermetic obturation of the root canal system. To achieve this, the root canal filling must seal the canal space both apically and coronally to prevent the ingress of microorganisms or tissue fluids into the canal space. Apical leakage is reported a common reason for the clinical failure of endodontic therapy. Leakage through an obturated root canal is expected to take place at interfaces between sealer and dentin or sealer and gutta-percha, or through voids within the sealer. Hence, the sealing quality of root canal filling depends much on the sealing ability of the sealer. Therefore, anything that may influence the adaptation of the root filling to the canal wall is can determine the degree and the extent of leakage, and ultimately the prognosis of the endodontic therapy. In endodontic therapy, the smear layer formation results from root canal preparation and may influence the effective seal of the root canal system. The smear layer formation is mainly composed of inorganic components (dentin debris) and organic materials, such as pulp tissue remnant, bacteria, and blood cells. Removal of the smear layer from the root canal walls before the obturation can reduce the leakage of root canal sealer. To remove the smear layer use 10 ml 17% EDTA followed by 10 ml of 5.25% NaOCl as irrigating solution. This paper discribe about how the effectivity of EDTA as irigating solution to remove the smear layer especially in the apical root canal with many lateral canal to reduce the apical leakage.

Abstract

Total etch adhesive system has been widely used in teeth conservation area as an adhesive agent before implicating composite resin restoration agent. The aim of this research is to prove the difference of tensile bond strength between total etch (Single Bond) and self etch adhesive system (Adper prompt L-Pop) on dentin surface in vitro. The extracted and non carries maxillary premolar teeth were used in this research and were divided into 2 groups. The first group comprised 15 specimen teeth etched in phosphoric acid and was applicated with the Single Bond adhesive agent. The second group comprised 15 specimen teeth, applicated with the Adper Prompt-L-Pop. The composite resin (Z 350, 3M) was applied incrementally and each of the layers was rayed for 20 seconds. The specimens were stored in physiologic solution before they were tested. Tensile bond strength was measured by LRX Plus Lloyd Instrument, with 1 N load and 1 mm/minute speed, and the measurement result was in Mpa unit. The result was evaluated statistically by the Student t-test with α = 0.05. Single Bond (the 5th generation) showed a better bond strength compared to the Adper Prompt-L-Pop (the 6th generation).
