2024-09-24T01:38:24+00:00

The use of dental Implants in Indonesia has increased significantly. Public knowledge and demand for dental implant treatments are growing. The public’s need to replace missing teeth with removable dentures or bridges gradually shifting towards dental implant. The aesthetic needs for dental implant, especially in the anterior region are highly desired by patients. However, this is often not achieved due to several factor, one of it was the non-optimal emergence profile of the implant supra structure. A deep understanding of the gingival tissues in relation to implants to achieve maximum esthetics is utmost importance. This case report presented the treatment with an implant using a PEEK temporary abutment as a custom healing abutment The use of customized temporary abutment as a healing abutment could provide an effective method to enhance esthetic and guide tissue response during the healing phase, so that the aesthetic could be achieved.

HISTOPATHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION OF OCULAR VASCULAR IN ALLOXAN-INDUCED DIABETIC RATS FED FREEZE-DRIED SOYGHURT

2024-09-24T01:49:39+00:00

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that can cause hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar levels). Diabetes can cause various complications, one of which is microangiopathy, which is damage to the vascularization of the eye. Soyghurt is a probiotic drink high in isoflavones, has preventive benefits, and can be a supplement for patients with diabetes. This study aimed to determine the vascularization picture of the eye in alloxan-induced diabetic rats and given freeze-dried soyghurt. This study is a descriptive research using Posttest Only Control Group Design. The subjects of this study were white rats (Rattus norvegicus) Wistar strain, which were randomly separated into five groups, namely, three treatment groups and two control groups. Data were analyzed descriptively by describing eye vascularization assessment based on the formation of microaneurysms, hard exudates, cotton-wool spots, dot-blot & flame hemorrhages, and neovascularization. The data processing results showed that the treatment group given a combination of freeze-dried soyghurt and metformin had the highest reduction in sugar levels in diabetic rats, with an average difference of 221.5 mg/dl. The administration of alloxan at a dose of 125 mg/kg of body weight for one day did not change the histopathological picture of eye vascularization in diabetic rats. Further tests need to be conducted regarding the appropriate dose and duration of alloxan administration to see the histopathological picture of eye vascularization damage.

EFFECT OF Averrhoa bilimbi L. A NATURAL DENTAL BLEACHING ON THE ROUHNESS OF NANOHYBRID COMPOSITE

2024-09-24T02:14:58+00:00

Averrhoa bilimbi can be used as a natural tooth-bleaching ingredient because it can increase the brightness of tooth colour. In bleaching treatments, there are times when it is found that the patient's teeth have composite restorations. This study aims to determine the effect of Averrhoa bilimbi extract gel as a natural dental bleaching agent on the roughness of nanohybrid composites. The research method used 17 nanohybrid composite samples of 5 x 2 mm. Samples will be measured for surface roughness before treatment, and then samples will be applied with 50% Averrhoa bilimbi extract gel for 2 hours every day for up to 14 days and surface roughness test after treatment. The data were processed with t-test statistics; the statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.0001 (p<0.05), which means that the roughness value before and after 50% Averrhoa bilimbi extract gel treatment is a significant difference. It can be concluded that 50% of the Averrhoa bilimbi extract gel affects the roughness of nanohybrid composites. The average roughness value of the nanohybrid composite after 50% Averrhoa bilimbi extract gel treatment is 0.16 μm, which is still below the critical limit of roughness, so even though it is significant, 50% Averrhoa bilimbi extract gel can still be used safely as a natural tooth bleaching agent.

THE POTENCY OF KATUK LEAVES AS AN ANTIOXIDANT IN ORTHODONTICS

2024-09-24T02:30:50+00:00

Katuk leaves (Sauropus androgynus L. Merr) are known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Orthodontic treatments often involve prolonged use of metal appliances, which can lead to oxidative stress and inflammation in the oral environment. Antioxidants are crucial in mitigating these effects, potentially improving the outcomes and comfort of orthodontic treatments. Katuk leaves, rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids, saponin, tannin, quinone, polyphenols, and vitamins, can slow down the formation of free radicals during the tooth movement process. This literature review explores the potential application of katuk leaves as a natural antioxidant in orthodontics, focusing on enhancing patient care by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation associated with orthodontic appliances. This study was conducted using a comprehensive literature review approach. Relevant keywords from articles were sourced from databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, ResearchGate, Europe PMC, and Elsevier. Selection criteria included the year of publication, relevance to the topic, availability of abstract, full text, and alignment with the study's objectives. The review revealed evidence supporting the antioxidant effects of katuk leaves in reducing oxidative stress during tooth movement. However, there are still limitations regarding the utilization and processing of katuk leaves in clinical settings. Further research is necessary to develop standardized methods for applying katuk leaves in orthodontic treatment. Utilization of katuk leaves in orthodontic care shows the potential to enhance antioxidant levels, thereby reducing oxidative stress and improving treatment outcomes.

PERIPHERAL CEMENTO-OSSIFYING FIBROMA OF THE ANTERIOR MAXILLARY GINGIVA

2024-09-24T02:57:44+00:00

Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma (PCOF) is a reactive gingival growth due to trauma or local chronic irritation. It occurs in about 2% of all intraoral lesions or about 9.6% of all gingival lesions. Clinical differential diagnoses of PCOF are Peripheral giant cell granuloma, pyogenic granuloma or epulis granulomatosa, irritation fibroma, and osteoid osteoma. This report describes a case of a 39-year-old female with sessile growth measuring 2x2x1 cm on the anterior maxillary gingiva at 11 and 21 region. Clinical diagnosis was epulis granulomatosa. An excisional biopsy was performed, and a histopathological diagnosis was made of peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma. PCOF is more common in females in the second decade of life and is usually seen in the anterior Maxilla. Lesions are sessile or polypoid growth with normal overlying surface or reddish—generally less than 2 cm. Radiology examinations are usually within normal limits, but sometimes, there are foci of calcification seen within the lesion, superficial bone erosion, or loss of interdental bone with the treatment with excisional biopsy and curettage for periosteum and periodontal ligament tissue. Also, it is essential to eliminate some irritating factors to prevent recurrence. Recurrence rate is high, about 20% of cases. Clinical features of PCOF were similar to other more common gingival lesions such as epulis or fibroma. Histopathological examination was critical to make a definitive diagnosis.

The WINDOW IMPRESSION TECHNIQUE FOR FABRICATION OF FULL DENTURES IN PATIENT WITH FLABBY TISSUE

2024-09-24T02:51:14+00:00

Fabrication of completely edentulous patients with flabby tissue can lead to the difficulty to make the impression due to the differences in compressibility of the flabby tissue and the other soft tissue. The flabby tissue can be compressed due to the pressure especially while impression making and it can lead to inaccurate impression. Fabrication of full dentures with inaccurate impression will lead to failure in providing adaptation, retention, and stabilization to the denture. The objective of this paper is to use window impression technique for patient with flabby tissue ridge. Male patient came to RSGM FKG UNJANI with major concerns of completely edentulous ridge. Patient have bad experience with full dentures because of pain while usage of the dentures, especially in anterior maxilla and never use the denture. There is no history of medical or systemic condition and patient want to make a new denture. On intraoral examination, an area of flabby tissue was observed in the anterior maxilla ridge. The patient was then planned for a full denture fabrication with window impression technique for his anterior maxilla flabby tissue. Window impression technique was able to prevent pressure while impression making and providing a well-fitted denture

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SEVERITY OF LOWER THIRD MOLAR IMPACTION ON POST-ODONTECTOMY PAIN INTENSITY

2024-09-24T03:09:11+00:00

The third molar is the last tooth to erupt, so it often experiences impaction with varying severity. Impacted teeth can cause various problems, so they need to be removed. Extraction of the third molar, namely odontectomy, sometimes causes postoperative complications; one of the most common is pain. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the severity of impaction of the lower third molar and the intensity of pain after odontectomy. This study is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling method used was non-random, using the purposive sampling technique, for patients who came to the oral surgery clinic of Gunung Jati Regional Hospital, Cirebon, and had undergone odontectomy of the lower third molar. This study assessed the severity of impaction based on the Pedersen classification with the help of panoramic images into mild, moderate, and severe. The intensity of pain after odontectomy was measured using the NRS score into mild, moderate, and severe. The results showed that of the 37 patients who underwent odontectomy, the majority had moderate impaction severity in 24 patients (64.9%) and experienced moderate pain intensity post-odontectomy in 14 patients (37.8%). Spearman's correlation test showed a p-value of 0.530 (p> 0.05). there is no correlation between the severity of lower third molar impaction and postoperative pain intensity.

ABDUCENS NERVE PALSY AS THE FIRST MANIFESTATION OF NASOPHARYNGEAL MALIGNANCY

2024-09-24T03:28:42+00:00

Abducens Nerve Palsy is the most common ocular motor nerve palsy because the abducens nerve runs a long course from the brainstem to the lateral rectus muscle. Abducens Nerves palsy can result from several etiology; common etiologies of abducens palsy in adults include vascular disease, inflammation, tumours, and trauma. Therefore, early diagnosis is essential for some conditions that cause sixth nerve palsy. The purpose of this paper is to describe an isolated sixth nerve palsy as a first manifestation of Nasopharyngeal Malignancy. A 46-year-old female came to Cicendo Eye Hospital complaining of double vision from one month earlier, which would disappear if one eye was closed. The patient was diagnosed with Right Eye Abducens Nerve Palsy, which was suspected to be caused by ischemic then was asked to do an ischemic blood test and referred to an Internal Medicine Specialist. Three months after symptoms appeared, the patient returned to the clinic without any improvement and underwent a CT scan of the head with contrast and found an intracranial mass, suspected Nasopharyngeal Malignancy. Abducens nerve paralysis can be the first manifestation of a dangerous disease such as nasopharyngeal malignancy, so it takes awareness from every clinician when finding such cases.
