Abstract

Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) is a disorder that is still controversial in terms of correlation between clinical signs & symptoms and age. Most studies were carried out on adult populations with little attention given to the elderly. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the frequency of TMD in elderly population and risk factors pertinent to it. This is a cross sectional study which included patients aged 60-91 of Geriatric Department of National Hospital Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta, Indonesia. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was examined for clinical signs & symptoms. Data was analyzed using non parametric Chi Square test. Although there is no significant p value obtained, there is a clear tendency that occurence of TMD diminishes with age, more male elderly experience TMD and elderly experiencing up to 13 tooth loss might have higher risk for TMD.

Abstract

Treatment of maxillofacial patients needs a multidisciplinary approach of several expertise based on the complexity of the case. Prosthodontists often work together with e.g. ENT, oral or plastic surgeons to provide patient with better prosthesis and optimum treatment. Case report: A 55 years old male was referred to Dental Teaching Hospital of Universitas Indonesia for facial prosthesis fabrication. Patient had undergone squamous cell carcinoma ablation surgery that encompassed nose, cheek, sinuses, upper lip and most of the hard palate. Due to the extensive nature of the defect, Department of Prosthodontics collaborated with Department of Biomedical Engineering to employ 3D printing technique using general purpose machine for fabricating the trial pattern for the prosthesis, with attention given especially to margin areas and facial contours. This technique helps for prosthesis fabrication of this patient because manual wax carving is no longer necessary. Wax carving usually is a labor/skill intensive step and takes longer time. Conclusion: 3D printing of the trial pattern for the prosthesis help minimizes the labor/ skill intensive part of facial prosthesis fabrication.

Abstract

Masticatory performance has been studied extensively in the past few decades. Age, gender, the number of teeth in occlusion, occlusal contact area, salivary flow, and neurophysiological deficits influence the masticatory process. The replacement of missing teeth with dental prostheses, whether fixed or removable, is often used to achieve an acceptable level of masticatory performance. Objective: The present study aimed to analyze the association between masticatory performance and age, gender, and oral health status based on the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMF-T) score, denture use, and denture condition in an adult population. Methods: This study included a total of 152 individuals (60 males and 92 females) aged 17 years or older (mean ± standard deviation: 33.4 ± 13.1 years). Masticatory performance was evaluated using color-changeable chewing gum. The chi-squared test was used to assess the association between masticatory performance and age, gender, DMF-T score, dental prosthesis use, and prosthesis condition. Results: Age (p=0.001), missing teeth (p=0.001), and prosthesis use (p=0.011) had significant relationships with masticatory performance. However, the correlations between masticatory performance and gender, tooth decay, fillings, and prosthesis condition were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Age, missing teeth, and prostheses are strongly associated with masticatory performance.

Abstract

Post-menopausal women experience physiological hormonal changes that reduce bone density which leads to tooth loss and presumably affect masticatory function. Objective: This study aims to determine association between tooth loss and masticatory ability in post-menopausal women. Methods: Cross sectional study of 95 post-menopausal women at Posbindu Lansia Pergeri Depok, West Java was performed. Subjects answered questionnaires and intra oral examination was performed. Chi square analysis was conducted to relate age, menopausal period, education level, tooth loss and denture use with masticatory ability. Results: 47% subjects lost >10 teeth, 27% subjects lost 6-10 teeth and 26% subjects lost <0.05).
