Abstract

Introduction: Pulpectomy is the procedure of taking the entire pulp tissue from all the roots and corona of a tooth. There are several materials for obturation / root canal fillers in deciduous teeth, namely zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE), calcium hydroxide and iodoform paste a mixture of calcium hydroxide. A 6 year old boy patient came to RSGM with his parents seeking for treatment a tooth with a large cavity in the upper left posterior region and had been pain before. Intraoral examination revealed deep caries in the occlusal tooth 65 which reaching the pulp, percussion (-), palpation (-), mobility (-), vitality (-). Radiographic examination of tooth 65 showed a radiolucent image that had reached the pulp and the root canals had not yet undergone resorption. The diagnosis of this case was pulp necrosis at tooth 65. Case management: The treatment plan to be carried out was non-vital pulpectomy on tooth 65 and used technique non-vital pulpectomy because the tooth had already necrosis. Discussion: The filler used is ZOE. The reason for choosing this material was because it was indications for the use of ZOE material for teeth with necrosis. Conclussion: ZOE has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that can reduce pain.

Abstract

Objectives: This case aims to report the finding of a unique lesion in the maxilla in a young female patient. Case Report: The patient, a 21-year-old female, presented with a painless swelling on the left palate for the past 3 months, causing discomfort during eating. On intra-oral examination, there was visible swelling in the left hard palate area, extending from teeth 23 to 26 and extending to the middle of the palate. The patient was referred for a CBCT examination. The aim of writing this article is to assess the findings of a unique case of benign tumor of the palate. The results of the CBCT examination showed radiolucent lesions in the palatal mucosal area without bone resorption. The density of the lesion was higher than that of the surrounding mucosa. The lesion does not damage the tissue of the surrounding area. This is unique because swelling of this size is usually accompanied by extensive bone resorption. Based on its nature, this lesion was diagnosed as a benign soft tissue tumor with differential diagnoses of pyogenic granuloma, pleomorphic adenoma, leiomyoma, and desmoplastic fibroma. Conclusion: The lesion found was a soft tissue tumor lesion at the time; it was found to have a non-aggressive and non-expansive nature, making it difficult to determine a specific radiodiagnosis. The differential diagnosis of this case has been established as follows: Pleomorphic adenoma, pyogenic granuloma and leiomyoma, and pyogenic granuloma, were the options for establishing a provisional radiodiagnosis.

Abstract

Background: Oral health literacy (OHL) has an important role as a medium for health promotion and efforts to prevent oral diseases through oral health behavior changes. Purpose: This study aims to determine OHL and its correlation with oral health knowledge, attitude, and oral health practice among college students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 583 students of Jenderal Soedirman University in 2020, as the students come from different provinces in Indonesia. The Indonesian Oral Health Literacy Questionnaire was used to assess OHL. A self-designed questionnaire was used to assess oral health knowledge, attitude, and oral health practice. Results: Most students had good OHL, knowledge, and attitude toward oral health (90.7%, 84.6%, and 90.5% respectively). A Pearson correlation test showed a correlation between OHL and oral health knowledge (p = 0.044) and attitude (p = < 0.001). The Fisher exact tests showed a correlation between OHL and snacking frequency, tooth-brushing frequency, tooth-brushing time, and toothbrush changing time. The better the OHL, the better the knowledge and attitude. There was no correlation between OHL and sweet food eating frequency, the use of cleansing aids, dentist visit frequency, and the first action taken when experiencing toothache. Conclusion: OHL has a correlation with oral health knowledge and attitude. However, OHL is only related to some oral health practice indicators. The results of this study are expected to be taken into consideration when formulating strategies to improve oral health within the university.
