Abstract

Introduction: The greatest disadvantage of silicone soft denture liner (SDL) materials is the difficulty in keeping them clean due to their incompatibility with conventional denture cleaning solutions. As a result, chemical methods are often recommended as effective alternatives to mechanical cleaning. Natural products have emerged as promising substitutes for synthetic chemical agents. Origanum vulgare, in particular, has shown significant antifungal activity against Candida albicans. This study aims to analyze the effect of incorporating Origanum vulgare gel on auto-polymerized SDL materials, focusing on its impacts on the inhibition zone of Candida albicans over varying usage durations and concentrations. Methods: The antifungal activity was evaluated using the disc diffusion method. The samples were divided into three groups: (1) SDL without antifungal agent addition, (2) SDL with nystatin addition, and (3) SDL with Origanum vulgare gel addition. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s T3 for usage duration of 7 and 14 days. Results: The addition of Origanum vulgare gel showed significant antifungal activity, with MIC (3.12%) and MFC (6.25%). One way ANOVA analyses the inhibition zone of Candida albicans was significantly affected by the usage duration (7 and 14 days), with p<0.001 respectively. Post-hoc analyses using Dunnett's T3 test for the groups at 7 days and 14 days revealed significant difference in the antifungal effect between each group with MIC and MFC. Conclusion:  Nystatin was found to be less effective than Origanum vulgare gel in inhibiting the growth of C. albicans. The addition of Origanum vulgare Gel at a concentration of 6.25% to auto-polymerized silicone SDL is recommended, as it effectively inhibits the growth of Candida albicans for up to 14 days.

Abstract

Introduction: The use of composite resin as a restorative material has the disadvantage of experiencing volumetric shrinkage during polymerization, which can lead to restoration failure. Fiber-reinforced composites can reduce volumetric shrinkage in restorative materials. Coir fiber has the potential to replace synthetic fillers because its hollow fiber structure resembles foam, supporting a compact yet lightweight structure. This characteristic is expected to reduce the volumetric shrinkage of composite resin. This study aims to analyze the effect of coir fiber application as a filler on flowable composite resin on shrinkage, comparing it with flowable composite resin containing synthetic filler. Methods: The cellulose fiber used as a filler was synthesized from coir, while the matrix consisted of BisGMA and TEGDMA resins in a ratio 5:1. The composite was prepared with a coir fiber-to-matrix resin composition of 70:30, and polymerization was carried out by irradiation for 40 seconds. Volumetric shrinkage was tested 90 minutes after irradiation. The dimensions of the composite sample were measured from images captured using a digital microscope and analyzed with ImageJ software. The volume shrinkage was then calculated based on these dimensions. Shrinkage was further confirmed through SEM analysis of marginal adaptation tests. Results: The application of coir fiber as a filler effectively reduced the volumetric shrinkage of the composite compared to the composites with synthetic filler. Statistical analyses using the Mann-Whitney test results indicated that the type of filler in flowable composite resin had a significant effect, with a p-value of 0.047 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Application of coconut fiber as filler in flowable composite resin significantly reduce volumetric shrinkage, making it three times smaller than that of flowable composite resin with a synthetic filler.

Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Drug abuse is one of the concerning problems in Indonesia. It negatively impacts oral health, such as caries, xerostomia, periodontal disease, and tooth loss. Among these, dental caries is reported to be the leading cause of a reduction in quality of life. Although most oral health issues are not life-threatening, they significantly impact an individual's quality of life by extending periods of pain and discomfort. This study aims to analyze the correlation between dental caries and quality of life in individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) at the Lido Rehabilitation Center. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Lido Rehabilitation Center, West Java, in August 2024. 101 SUD patients at the center were assessed through questionnaires and oral examinations. Dental caries served as the independent variable, while the quality of life (QoL), measured using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire across four domains (physical, psychological, social relationships, and environment), was the dependent variable. Data analysis using Spearman rank correlation to determine the correlation between QoL in the dental and non-dental caries groups and unpaired T-test to evaluate QoL scores in each domain for both dental and non-dental caries groups. Results: Significant differences were observed in the mean quality of life scores for the physical domain between the caries group (60,5 ± 13,78) and the non-caries group (65 ± 3,46), as well as for the social domain between the caries group (55,59 ± 19,29) and the non-caries group (58,33 ± 23,86). No significant correlation was found between quality of life scores and dental caries values. Conclusion: No correlation was found between dental caries and quality of life scores. Differences in QoL were observed between the dental and non-dental caries groups. Dental caries were higher among SUD patients compared to those without caries.KEYWORDS Quality of life, caries, drug abusers, drugs.

Abstract

Introduction: Tooth loss refers to the condition in which teeth are dislodged  from their sockets. In elderly individuals, tooth loss can lead to reduced chewing ability, which may contribute to a higher likelihood of cognitive function. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between tooth loss and cognitive function among the elderly. Methods: The study employed an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design. Participants were recruited using a purposive total sampling technique. Subjects were selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in a final sample size of 48 participants. All participants provided informed consent, and data were collected using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) questionnaire. The data were tabulated and analyzed descriptively, followed by a Spearman correlation test with a significance threshold set at 0.000 (p-value <0.05). Results: The correlation coefficient was found to be 0.487, indicating a moderate positive relationship between tooth loss and cognitive function among elderly. Conclusion: There is a moderate positive relationship between tooth loss and cognitive function among elderly.

Abstract

Introduction: Pathognomonic symptoms often allow for the extablishment of a clinical diagnosis without laboratory-supporting examinations. This article discusses two cases of oral mucosal disease presenting with typical symptoms and pathognomonic clinical features. Through anamnesis, history taking, and physical examination led to the clinical diagnosis of primary herpetic gingivostomatitis and pseudomembranous oral candidiasis. Case report: The first case involved a 30-year-old woman with primary herpetic gingivostomatitis, characterized by multiple ulcers in the oral cavity and lips. The second case was that of a 4-year-old girl with pseudomembranous oral candidiasis, characterized by wipeable whitish plaques on the oral mucosa, which left an erythematous area. Antiviral therapy was given to the herpetic gingivostomatitis patient, while the patient wih pseudomembranous candidiasis received antifungal treatment. Significant clinical improvement was observed within 1-2 weeks following adequate treatment. Supporting examinations were not performed due to the pathognomonic clinical features. Conclusion: Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis and acute pseudomembranous candidiasis exhibit pathognomonic clinical features that are typical and generally sufficient for clinical diagnosis without laboratory-supporting confirmation.  If clinical diagnosis-based treatment results in improvement, supporting examination may not be necessary. Therefore, strict supervision from a doctor is mandatory in this situation.

Abstract

Introduction: Edentulism impairs the ability to chew, eat, and speak properly. Dentures, which aim to address this issue, are also believed to contribute to a decrease in the peak intensity value and spectral width of sound formants. Formants refer to the air within the vocal tract that is set in vibration by the vocal fold's action. This study aims to observe changes in formant values between complete denture users and participants with complete dentition. Methods: This preliminary study recruited six voluntary participants, divided into two groups. The first group consisted of subjects with complete dentition, while the second group comprised individuals wearing complete dentures on both arches. All participants introduced themselves, and their speech was recorded using PRAAT® software. For the second group, recordings were made both with and without dentures. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA. Results: Significant differences in formant scores were observed across all groups. Post hoc tests revealed a significant difference in formant scores between completely edentulous subjects without dentures and the complete dentition group; Conclusion: Correcting speech defects is the third main objective in fabricating denture prostheses. Enhancing the phonetically beneficial construction of denture quality improves psychosocial parameters, including quality of life and socialization abilities, and accelerates successful Prosthodontic treatment. The findings indicate that the format score of a person with a complete denture is not substantially different from that of an individual with complete dentition. Conversely, individuals who have lost their complete dentures and not using complete denture may exhibit significant differences in formant score.

Abstract

Introduction: An autopsy examines a deceased body to determine the cause of death. Forensic science applies scientific methods to aid law enforcement. After death, the body progresses through five decomposition stages: fresh, bloated, active decay, advanced decay, and skeletal, each providing crucial information for investigations. This case report purpose is to described age estimation of a skeletonized human remains using the mann and lamendin methods. Case Report: The body was in the skeletonization phase with partial soft tissue remaining on various body parts. No signs of trauma or bleeding were found on the bones. A total of 22 teeth were present, and three teeth were missing post-mortem. The biological age of the individual was estimated using Mann's method, which calculates age based on the palatal suture, followed by Lamendin's method, which uses the periodontosis, root height, and the transparency of the teet Conclusion: The estimation of the individual was more than 50 years using Mann’s method, and between 64 to 70 years using Lamendin’s method. This case demonstrates that forensic odontology provides  a non-invasive, cost-effective, and accurate approach for determining the age of a skeletonized remains by analyzing the sutura palatina and teeth.

Abstract

Introduction: Post-extraction cavities must be promptly treated to minimize alveolar ridge resorption. Various bone graft materials can be used to encourage bone regeneration in perialveolar defects. Demineralized Dentin Matrix (DDM) is a bone graft material found in human tooth dentin containing type I collagen. The content of DDM is expected to show an increase in mediators that form bone, such as osteoblasts, thereby accelerating the bone healing process. The study aims to analyze the effect of DDM on osteoblast count and type I collagen density during post-extraction bone healing. Methods: This true experimental study used guinea pigs with extracted left mandibular incisors. Sockets were filled with (1) polyethylene glycol gel (control group, n=9) or (2) DDM gel (treatment group, n=9). The gel was inserted into the socket until it was full and then sutured with non-absorbable silk. The guinea pigs were euthanized on days 7, 14, and 21 for osteoblast counting and type I collagen density measurement. One-way ANOVA was used to assess osteoblast numbers, while the Kruskal-Wallis test was applied to analyze type I collagen density. Results: The treatment group exhibited a higher osteoblast count on day 7 (48.73), day 14 (79.00), and day 21 (89.66) compared to the control group (day 7: 33.00, day 14: 59.6, day 21: 78.27). A statistically significant difference was observed between the treatment and control groups in osteoblast count (p = 0.000) and type I collagen density (p = 0.009). Conclusion: DDM increases osteoblast numbers and type I collagen density on days 7, 14, and 21 post-extraction, potentially enhancing bone remodeling

Abstract

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures, decreased bone mass and changes in the bone’s microscopic structure, leading to increased porosity and decreased strength. This study aimed to evaluate the differences in the mandibular bone density and condylar head morphology between osteoporosis and non-osteoporosis patients. Methods: The study used an observational descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population using secondary data consisted of all panoramic radiography photos collected over a six-month period from July to December 2019.  A total of 24 radiographs were included, comprising women with osteoporosis (age 40 to 60 years) and without osteoporosis (aged 40 to 50 years). Bone density was measured using a region of interest (ROI) of 3x3mm through histogram analysis, while condyle shape was evaluated visually. The collected data were processed with t-test results. Results: This study found that right condyle osteoporosis mean 137.51 ± 17.3, right condyle non osteoporosis 143.65 ± 21,1. Left condyle osteoporosis 133.46 ± 18,6, and left condyle non osteoporosis 143.64 ± 18. The mandibular bone density in condylar region was lower in osteoporosis patients by 6.14 pixels on the right side and 10.48 pixels on the left side. The result of the statistical analysis in all groups were p value > 0,05. However, the t-test results indicated no statistically significant differences between two groups. In terms of morphology, the oval shape was the most common in both groups. The bird beak shape was observed exclusively in the osteoporosis group, while the flat shape was more prevalent in the non-osteoporosis group. Conclusion: This study suggests that the mandibular bone density in osteoporosis patients is lower than in the non-osteoporosis group. However, this difference was not statistically significant. Additionally, changes in condylar head morphology did not correlate with osteoporosis status or reflect the observed differences in bone density.

Abstract

Introduction:: Patient-centered care requires medical personnel to address not only physical illnesses but also the psychosocial well-being of patients. older adultsOlder adults often have medically complex conditions, including one or more chronic diseases, requiring the use of multiple medications (polypharmacy). Polypharmacy is a common problem among older adults, with a reported prevalence of 30% to 80%. Many prescribed medications can lead to xerostomia and hyposalivation, which negatively impact the quality of life , including Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL). This systematic review aims to determine the impact of polypharmacy on OHRQoL in older adults and explore strategies to optimize OHRQoL in this population. Method: The dataset of articles concerning polypharmacy and OHRQoL in older adults was compiled from Google Scholar, PubMed, Semantic, and OpenAlex. The search encompassed publication from 2019 to 2024. Five articles were selected for in-depth analyses, and variations in methodologies used by the researchers in these selected studies were identified and considered. Results: Patients with polypharmacy hyposalivation exhibited significantly higher scores of the Summated Xerostomia Inventory questionnaire (SXI-PL) (8.60 ± 2.56) and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14sp) (16.0 ± 15.8). A statistically significant association was found between hyposalivation and both SXI-PL and OHIP-14sp scores (p < 0.05). Elderly individuals on continuous medication demonstrated increased odds of self-reported xerostomia (OR: 2.3; 95% CI: 1.19-4.67; P = 0.009). Conclusion: This study demonstrates an association between polypharmacy and decreased oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in older adults.
