THE DIFFERENCES IN THE EFFECTS OF PROPOLIS, SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE, AND EDTA AS AN IRRIGANT SOLUTIONS ON THE MICROHARDNESS OF ROOT CANAL DENTIN: IN-VITRO STUDY

2025-01-31T08:53:51+00:00

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and EDTA are commonly used irrigants due to their antimicrobial properties and ability to dissolve both organic and inorganic components. However, the use of these chemicals at varying concentrations and durations can affect the physical and chemical properties of root canal dentin. Recently, propolis has gained attention as an alternative irrigant because it shows similar potential to conventional irrigants. The aim of this study is to examine whether there are differences in the effects of propolis extract, NaOCl, and EDTA on the microhardness of root canal dentin. This study utilized 24 single-rooted premolar teeth. The crowns were removed, and the roots were longitudinally split into two halves. Samples were randomly divided into six groups (n=8), each immersed in 8% propolis, 20% propolis, 30% propolis, 2.5% NaOCl, 5% NaOCl, and 17% EDTA. The microhardness of root canal dentin was measured using a Vickers Hardness Tester before and after immersion. Data were analyzed using One Way ANOVA. The results showed that 8% propolis had the smallest decrease in microhardness among all treatment groups, with an average difference in initial and final microhardness of 3.68, followed by 20% propolis, 2.5% NaOCl, 5% NaOCl, 30% propolis, and 17% EDTA. The conclusion of this study is that there are significant differences (p<0.05) among the treatment groups regarding the microhardness of root canal dentin.

2025-01-31T09:12:44+00:00

Abnormalities without symptoms can be detected through accurate diagnostic interpretation techniques in a wide range of panoramic radiographs. The number of publications describing various incidental findings on panoramic radiographs in Indonesia is still limited. The aim of this study is to find incidental findings in panoramic radiographs. The design of this study is descriptive, using 962 panoramic radiographs. A total of two observers interpreted 481 radiographs each and recorded incidental findings into five categories, namely soft tissue calcification, elongation of the styloid process, pathological conditions of the maxillary sinus, dense bone islands, and other incidental findings. The results shows that 142 panoramic radiographs (14,76%) had images of incidental findings, with descriptions of the types of incidental findings that were found are 42 radiographs (29,57%) of soft tissue calcification, 29 radiographs (20,42%) had an elongation of the styloid process, pathological conditions of the maxillary sinus were found on 35 radiographs (24,64%), 32 radiographs (22,53%) of dense bone island, and 17 radiographs (11,97%) were categorized as other incidental findings. The percentage of incidental findings which is not too high (14,76%), does not affect the fact that it is very important for a dentist to interpret panoramic radiographs in such detail manners and be alert of various pathological conditions that appear even without clinical symptoms, and ultimately be able to provide external referrals so that early medical intervention can be carried out in patients who needs it the most.

DIFFERENCES IN THE PREVALENCE OF MOLAR-INCISOR HYPOMINERALIZATION BETWEEN URBAN AND RURAL AREAS

2025-01-31T09:20:53+00:00

Dental enamel defects are developmental anomalies commonly found in primary and permanent teeth. One of the developmental anomalies of enamel structure is the hypomineralization of molar and incisor teeth. Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a localized autosomal recessive disease or amelogenesis imperfecta that may be associated with enamel-forming genes such as AMBN and TUFT1. The etiology of MIH can be attributed to prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal factors, such as low birth weight, antibiotic use, toxins from breastfeeding, infections during pregnancy, premature birth, birth complications, and a family history of enamel defects. This research is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used in this study is probability sampling, specifically simple random sampling in elementary school children in the urban area of Cimahi City and the rural area of West Bandung Regency.. The results of the study in the urban area of Cimahi City revealed 297 respondents, aged 8-12 years old, with a prevalence of MIH in the urban area (9.8%), indicating that 29 children experience MIH. In the rural area of West Bandung Regency, 293 respondents of elementary school children aged 8-12 years were included, showing a prevalence of MIH in the rural area (14.7%), indicating that 43 children have MIH. The research results indicate that the prevalence of MIH in rural areas is higher compared to the prevalence of MIH in urban areas, with a probability value of 0.069, which is greater than 0.05 (P>0.05). Therefore, statistically, it shows a non-significant difference in the prevalence of MIH between Cimahi City and West Bandung Regency.

TREATMENT OF CANINE TOOTH EDGE TO EDGE MALRELATION AND INDIVIDUAL DENTAL MALPOSITION WITH REMOVABLE ORTHODONTIC DEVICE: CASE REPORT

2025-01-31T09:34:15+00:00

Edge to edge is a malocclusion characterized by the upper teeth experiencing premature contact with the lower teeth. Treatment to improve anterior edge to edge is by retroclination of lower jaw teeth that experience initial contact or premature contact so that they fit into the normal mandibular arch. Case report: A 26 year old male patient came to RSGM FKG UMS with complaints of crowding in the front teeth of the lower jaw. This treatment is carried out using a removable orthodontic appliance which consists of an active component in the form of a labial arch with the aim of correcting edge-to-edge malrelation and a simple spring with the aim of correcting individual tooth malposition. As a result of 2 months of treatment, the anterior edge-to-edge was corrected, malposition of individual teeth was corrected and the appearance improved. Conclusion: Removable orthodontic treatment using a labial arch in cases of edge-to-edge malrelation of canines over 8 meetings gave quite good results. Appropriate case selection and patient compliance are necessary to achieve successful removable orthodontic treatment.

BOVINE COLLAGEN EFFECT IN MAINTAINING BLOOD SUGAR AND BODY WEIGHT STABILITY IN DIABETIC RATS

2025-01-31T09:39:59+00:00

Diabetes causes degenerative processes to occur earlier, for example during hyperglycemia with increased levels of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) damaging the body's metabolism. Consuming anti-diabetic medications lowers blood sugar levels; however, hypoglycemia, which can be life-threatening, often occurs. Additionally, patients with diabetic experience uncontrolled weight loss or weight gain. This study aims to test the potential of bovine collagen in maintaining stable blood sugar levels and body weight in rats induced with diabetic. A total of 24 seven-month-old Wistar rats were divided into four groups: negative control group; positive control group induced with streptozotocin at 50 mg/kg body weight (BW) and given water as placebo; a group induced with streptozotocin at 50 mg/kg BW and treated with bovine collagen at a dose of 2x 400 mg/kg BW/day; and a third group of healthy rats receiving bovine collagen at the same dosage. All groups were treated for four weeks, during which body weight and blood sugar levels were monitored. The results indicated that diabetic rats treated with bovine collagen had better weight control compared to the positive control group in the first week (p = 0.033); however, in subsequent weeks, bovine collagen did not affect body weight. Blood sugar levels in the four groups of rats during the first, second, and third weeks showed that bovine collagen significantly reduced blood sugar levels in diabetic rats from the first to the third week (p < 0.05). It is possible that additional doses or the administration of antioxidant flavonoids may be necessary from the second week onward to maintain weight stability.
