Abstract

Introduction: Bone defects or alveolar sockets commonly occur after tooth extraction. Black Soldier Fly (BSF) pupae contain 35% chitin, which can be converted into chitosan. This study aims to analyze the effect of BSF pupae chitosan gel on the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in post-extraction sockets. Method: This study employed a true experimental design. The left mandibular incisor of guinea pigs was extracted. In the control group (n=9), the socket was filled with polyethylene glycol (PEG) gel as a placebo, while in the treatment group (n=9), the socket was filled with BSF pupae chitosan  gel. The gel was applied until the socket was full, followed by suturing with non-absorbable silk. Euthanasia was performed on days 7, 14, and 21 to evaluate the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Data were analyzed using one-way Anova. Results: The osteoblast count in the treatment group increased on day 7 (52.20 ± 1.90), day 14 (91.53 ± 1.00), and day 21 (104.13 ± 5.33) compared to the control group:  day 7 (39.80 ± 5.43), day 14 (61.13 ± 1.10), and day 21 (82.60 ± 2,11). The number of osteoclasts decreased in both groups: in the control group on day 7 (9.83 ± 0.35), day 14 (12.80 ± 0.72), and day 21 (2.46 ± 0.11); and in the treatment group on day 7 (4.86 ± 1.51), day 14 (9 ± 0.34), and day 21 (2.66 ± 0.11). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in osteoblast and osteoclast counts between the treatment and control groups (p = 0.000). Conclusion: The application of chitosan BSF pupae gel can increase osteoblast numbers and decrease osteoclast numbers after tooth extraction, potentially accelerating bone formation and offering benefits for future bone regeneration.

Abstract

Introduction: The study of palatine rugae in forensic odontology has become increasingly vital as a means of identifying individuals, particularly in scenarios where conventional identification methods prove inadequate. This scoping review focuses on the identification of palatine rugae in the Indonesian population.  Method: A scoping review was conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Relevant articles were sourced from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using Boolean operators and relevant keywords. Studies were included if they involved Indonesian populations, used palatal rugae for identification, were original research, published in Indonesian or English, and available in full text between March 2014 and March 2024. We excluded review articles, non-human studies, and papers in other languages. Two independent reviewers screened and selected articles. Results: The results of the scoping review identified various classifications of palatine rugae, with three articles using the Thomas and Kotze method and one article each using the Kapali, Trobo, Lysell, and Carrea methods. Two articles studied rugae inheritance, and one examined post-orthodontic stability. The widely used Thomas and Kotze method focuses on the length, shape, and direction of the rugae but has limitations in sex determination. Additionally, the Trobo, Kapali, Lysell, and Carrea classifications are also used due to their simplicity and clarity. This study investigated the pattern of palatine rugae and found that the pattern remains consistent before and after orthodontic treatment and is inherited from parent to child. The study also identified potential language bias, limited Indonesian literature on palatine rugae, and methodological variations across research articles. Conclusion: This scoping review affirms the reliability of palatine rugae in forensic odontology in Indonesia, highlights the need for further research to enhance understanding of rugae patterns and inheritance mechanisms, and contributes to the knowledge base for future forensic research and investigations.

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: Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood pressure, often accompanied by symptoms such as headaches, epistaxis, and palpitations. Coated tongue is a clinical condition in which the tongue's surface develops a pseudomembrane due to accumulated debris, non-desquamated keratin cells, and microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi.  This study aims to explore the potential relationship between hypertension and coated tongue, emphasizing the importance of oral hygiene in hypertensive patients. By examining a clinical case, the research highlights the role of tongue cleaning in managing coated tongue and improving oral health. Additionally, it underscores the need for patient education and adherence to proper oral hygiene practices to achieve better treatment outcomes.Case Report: A 49-year-old female patient presented to Sartika Asih Bhayangkara Hospital with complaints of persistent bad breath for one month. She reported white spots on her tongue causing discomfort but no pain. The patient reported brushing her teeth one to two times daily but had never cleaned her tongue. She had a history of hypertension and was one amlodipine therapy.Conclusion: Coated tongue in hypertensive patients can be managed through regular tongue cleaning after brushing. Effective communication, education, and patient cooperation are crucial for optimal treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Taurodontism is a rare developmental abnormality affecting the permanent molars, resulting from the incomplete invagination of Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath at the proper horizontal level. Apexification treatment of a taurodont tooth is challenging and requires special attention due to the difficulty in finding the orifices, as well as the complexity involved in the preparation and obturation of the root canals. Case Reports: This case report aims to present the clinical management of apexification in an immature permanent molar with taurodontism, highlighting, endodontic treatment strategy, and the rationale for using calcium hydroxide as the material of choice. The apexification treatment with calcium hydroxide was performed on the immature maxillary left first molar (tooth 26) of an 11-year-old girl patient diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and mesotaurodontism. After six months, no subjective or clinical symptoms were reported. Although apical closure was not clearly evident on radiography, an apical stop was observed during clinical examination. Following this evaluation, tooth 26 was obturated with gutta-percha combined with a bioceramic sealer, and subsequently restored using direct composite restoration. An evaluation was performed three months post-treatment, incorporating clinical examination and radiographic and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Conclusion: This case report highlights the successful apexification of a maxillary first molar with taurodontism using calcium hydroxide. The patient remained asymptomatic throughout treatment, with radiographic evaluations indicating conditions within normal limits. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) confirmed adequate obturation extending to the apical region and demonstrated definitive apical closure after six months follow-up.

Abstract

Introduction: Traumatic Ulcerative Granuloma with Stromal Eosinophilia (TUGSE) is a type of chronic traumatic ulcer. There are several factors that contribute to the development of TUGSE, but trauma is the primary one. If smoking or other risk factors are present, the condition may be exacerbated, as this may impede the healing of wounds. This case report will show the influence of smoking cessation on the recovery from TUGSE in patients and the resulting improvement in quality of life. Case report: A 64-year-old male patient presented to the dental hospital with a primary complaint of a painful sore on the tip of his tongue at the back for the past month. The patient had previously consulted a general practitioner and an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist and was prescribed triamcinolone acetonide and povidone iodine mouthwash but no improvement was observed. An intraoral examination revealed an ulcer on the lateral side of the tongue. The patient had a cavity with sharp edges near the lesion, but it was ground down 2 days ago. The patient had a history of smoking clove cigarettes, consuming 24 sticks per day for more than five years. The patient was given chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% mouthwash, to be used at a dose of 10ml, twice a day, and was instructed to apply a thin layer of triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% in orabase three times a day on the lesion. The patient recovered after seven days of treatment and reported their symptoms have decreased. The assessment using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) indicated an improvement in the patient quality of life. Conclusion: Smoking cessation can improve the healing process of ulcers, thereby improving an individual's quality of life.

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: Treating malpositioned anterior teeth requires more than just prosthodontic intervention. A collaboration with orthodontic treatment is the preferred approach for patients with compromised cases. Due to their predictable results and tooth structure conservation, lithium disilicate veneers are indicated for the aesthetic rehabilitation of anterior teeth with malpositioning or anomalous appearance. This case report discusses the aesthetic rehabilitation of upper anterior teeth that were compromised by missing teeth and post orthodontic treatment, using lithium disilicate veneers. Case Report: A 25-year-old female patient came to the Department of Prosthodontics at Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital seeking to improve her smile. The treatment history revealed that the patient had just finished her orthodontic treatment. Clinical examinations showed the absence of upper left central incisor, causing the lateral incisor to occupy the central incisor position, the canine to occupy the lateral incisor position, and the premolar to occupy the canine position. Lithium disilicate veneers were proposed and the patient consented to the treatment. A dental impression was taken, followed by a diagnostic wax-up, mock up and finally, lithium disilicate porcelain veneers were placed. Lithium disilicate was chosen due to its high aesthetic properties and minimally invasive preparation. Conclusion: Aesthetic rehabilitation of upper anterior teeth that were compromised by missing teeth and post orthodontic treatment with lithium disilicate veneers is highly technique- and material-sensitive. However, when used with proper knowledge and skill, these restorations provide excellent aesthetic and functional outcome.

Abstract

Introduction: Complex odontomas are hamartomas composed of randomly arranged dental tissues like enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp. They typically have limited growth, with only 4.3% that exceed 3 cm in size. Erupted odontomas, which occur when an intraosseous odontoma erupts into the oral cavity, are exceptionally rare. This case report presents a rare case of a large complex odontoma in the posterior mandible of a woman. Case report: A 25-year-old female patient was referred to the Radiology Department with a chief complaint of left jaw swelling persisting for 6 months. Facial asymmetry was noted due to a swelling in the left jaw. Intraoral examination revealed a yellow-brown, irregular, hard mass resembling calculus. Radiographs showed a well-defined, irregular radiopaque mass approximately 6 x 3 cm in size, surrounded by a radiolucent rim. The opacity degree resembled the density of enamel and dentin in some lesion sites. Mandibular left molars were missing. Radiographic findings confirmed a diagnosis of odontoma. The patient was then referred to the Department of Oral Surgery for further management and surgical intervention. Conclusion: Odontomas rarely erupt, but their eruption and large size can lead to significant complications like pain, inflammation, infection, and facial asymmetry. Dentists should be familiar with the characteristics of odontoma to enable prompt and effective management.

Abstract

Introduction: The Twin Block appliance is widely recognized as an effective treatment for Class II malocclusion in growing children. While cephalometric analysis software, including AI-based tools, is a well-established diagnostic aid, its integration into treatment planning enhances diagnostic precision and progress monitoring. This case report aims to highlight the management of a child with Class II malocclusion and mouth breathing using a Twin Block appliance, assisted by AI-driven software for cephalometric analysis to enhance treatment outcomes. Case Report: A 10-year-old boy presented with forward-positioned teeth and low self-confidence. Clinical examination revealed Class II malocclusion characterized by upper incisor protrusion and mandibular retrusion. The water-retention test confirmed mouth breathing. AI-driven cephalometric analysis using WebCeph showed an SNB angle of 75.59° and an ANB angle of 6.77°. The patient underwent nine months of Twin Block therapy with monthly adjustments. Conclusion: Twin Block therapy in this case was ineffective in achieving skeletal growth modification, likely due to factors such as treatment timing, skeletal maturity, or appliance design. AI-driven software for cephalometric analysis proved valuable for monitoring but should be viewed as a diagnostic tool rather than a determinant of treatment success.
