Abstract

Pendahuluan: Pansitopenia merupakan suatu keadaan yang ditandai oleh adanya anemia, leukopenia serta trombositopenia akibat gangguan pada sumsum tulang yang menyebabkan proses produksi sel hematopoietik menjadi tidak normal. Salah satu manifestasi rongga mulut pada pansitopenia adalah pendarahan gingiva. Perawatan pendarahan gingiva telah banyak dilakukan dengan pemberian obat kumur feracrylum 1%, atau dengan cara mengompres lokasi pendarahan menggunakan kain kasa yang ditetes dengan lidokain. Laporan kasus ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan manajemen perawatan pendarahan gingiva pada pasien pansitopenia dengan suspek anemia aplastik. Laporan kasus: Seorang pria berusia 50 tahun dengan keluhan lemah badan, demam, melena dan gingiva berdarah sejak dua tahun yang lalu, tidak disertai rasa sakit pada gingiva dan area lainnya dalam rongga mulut. Pasien ini dirawat bersama oleh bagian Ilmu Penyakit Dalam dan Ilmu Penyakit Mulut. Pemeriksaan rongga mulut menunjukkan adanya pendarahan pada gingiva regio rahang atas kiri dan bawah kiri. Hasil pemeriksaan penunjang menunjukkan hemoglobin: 7,1g/dL, hematokrit: 18%, eritrosit 1,46x104/μL, leukosit 2,5x103/μL, trombosit 7,2x104/μL. Hasil pemeriksaan sumsum tulang yang pertama sulit dinilai. Transfusi darah diberikan dua labu perhari selama enam hari, area pendarahan pada gingiva dilakukan  kompres menggunakan asam traneksamat selama satu sampai tiga menit kemudian dilanjutkan kumur asam traneksamat selama satu menit. Hasil setelah terapi selama 6 hari, tidak ditemukan lagi pendarahan pada gingiva. Simpulan: Terapi lokal kompres dan kumur asam traneksamat dapat menjadi pilihan perawatan yang sangat efektif untuk menghentikan pendarahan gingiva pada pasien pansitopenia, selain terapi transfusi darah tetap dilakukan untuk mengembalikan kadar normal komponen dalam darah.Kata kunci: anemia aplastik; asam traneksamat; pansitopenia; pendarahan gingiva ABSTRACTIntroduction: Pancytopenia is a condition characterised by anaemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia due to disorders of the bone marrow that cause the production process of hematopoietic cells to become abnormal. One of the oral manifestations of pancytopenia is gingival bleeding. Gingival bleeding treatment has been mainly carried out by administering 1% Feracrylum mouthwash or compressing the bleeding site using gauze dripped with lidocaine. This case report aimed to describe the management of pancytopenia gingival bleeding in patients with suspected aplastic anaemia. Case report: A 50-year-old male with the chief complaint of weakness, fever, melena, and gingival bleeding two years prior, without gingival pain and other oral cavity areas. This patient was treated simultaneously by the Department of Internal Medicine and Oral Medicine. Examination of the oral cavity revealed bleeding in the left maxillary and left mandibular gingiva. Investigation results showed haemoglobin level was 7.1g/dL, hematocrit 18%, erythrocytes 1.46x104/μL, leukocytes 2.5x103/μL, and platelets 7.2x10⁴/μL. However, the first bone marrow examination result was still challenging to assess. Therefore, two flasks of blood transfusions were given per day for six days. The bleeding gingival area was compressed using tranexamic acid for one to three minutes, followed by tranexamic acid gargling for one minute. After six days of therapy, no more gingival bleeding was detected. Conclusion: Local compress therapy and tranexamic acid gargling can be effective treatment options to stop gingival bleeding in pancytopenia patients; blood transfusion therapy needs to remain carried out to restore normal levels of blood components.Keywords: aplastic anaemia; tranexamic acid; pancytopenia; gingival bleeding

Introduction: Bite mark analysis casework strives to connect a biter to the teeth pattern present on the object linked in some way to crime or event. This analysis requiring an immediate response by the forensic odontologist since the marks fade rapidly in the living and the dead in a matter of hours. The aim of this article is to help the dentist to know and understand the procedures of bite mark identification in forensic odontology field. Literature review: Bite marks may be present the following situations, a fight between adults or children, a part of sexual or physical assault by adult on children, a rape, and homosexual activities. The marks can be single or multiple, varying degrees of severity from mild marking of the tissue to deep perforation, varying location may be found on breast, face/ head, abdomen, shoulder, upper extremity, buttocks, female genitalia, male genitalia, legs, ear, nose and neck. Discussion: Dentist should master the bite mark analysis procedures. When the suspect has been recognized, the first thing to do is swabbing the oral mucosa, and then taking photographs. The next steps are preparing to take impression, and always taking notes about the procedure and the result. A soon as all the documents are completed, do the matching procedures. Delay examination will cause the lost of valuable evidence. Conclution: Dentist should carefully determine the conclusion among these possibilities , the mark is “possible biter”, “probable biter”, or “with a high level of confidence, is the biter”

Abstract

ABSTRAKPendahuluan: Ulser traumatik adalah lesi ulserasi akibat paparan trauma baik mekanis, termal, dan kimia pada mukosa oral. Gambaran klinis ulser traumatik dapat menyerupai gambaran klinis Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) yang merupakan epithelial cancer. Ulser traumatik dapat bersifat kronis, sehingga diperlukan kepatuhan pasien untuk keberhasilan perawatan. Laporan kasus ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan keberhasilan penatalaksanaan kasus ulser traumatik yang menyerupai OSCC melalui kepatuhan pasien. Laporan Kasus: Seorang perempuan berusia 24 tahun datang untuk kunjungan kontrol pasca satu minggu lesi ulserasi traumatik pada mukosa labial bawah. Pada kunjungan tersebut ditemukan lesi ulserasi baru pada lateral lidah kanan, berjumlah satu buah, berbentuk oval, berukuran ±5 mm, berwarna kekuningan, dikelilingi halo eritema, dangkal, serta berbatas jelas dan tegas. Setelah dua minggu lesi semakin membesar dari ukuran 5 mm menjadi 1 cm disertai indurasi, seperti pada kasus OSCC. Hasil pemeriksaan penunjang hematologi rutin dan hitung jenis leukosit menunjukkan parameter normal, kecuali kadar neutrofil batang di bawah normal. Pasien diberikan edukasi untuk mencegah trauma berulang. Menimbang kondisi pandemi serta kendala jarak, evaluasi dilakukan dengan kontrol berkala secara langsung dan melalui metode teledentistry. Penyembuhan lesi terjadi dalam waktu lama akibat kepatuhan pasien yang kurang terhadap instruksi yang diberikan. Setelah dilakukan edukasi ulang pada pasien, terdapat perbaikan lesi setelah dua bulan pemberian terapi medikasi dan edukasi kepada pasien. Temuan klinis lesi ulserasi traumatik pada rongga mulut yang bersifat kronis perlu ditindaklanjuti terutama apabila menyerupai tanda klinis keganasan. Simpulan: Kepatuhan pasien sangat mendukung keberhasilan dalam penatalaksanaan kasus ulser traumatik kronis yang menyerupai OSCC.Kata kunciulser traumatik, OSCC, kepatuhan pasien, medikasi, edukasi. The role of patient compliance in management of traumatic ulcer mimicking Oral Squamous Cell CarcinomaABSTRACTIntroduction: Traumatic ulcers arise from exposure to mechanical, thermal, and chemical trauma to the oral mucosa. The clinical appearance of traumatic ulcers in the oral cavity may resemble Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), a type of epithelial cancer. Traumatic ulcers can sometimes become chronic, necessitating patient compliance for effective treatment. This case report aims to depict the successful management of traumatic ulcer cases that mimic OSCC, underscoring the pivotal role of patient compliance in the process. Case Report: A 24-year-old female returned for a follow-up visit one week after developing a traumatic ulcerated lesion on the lower labial mucosa. During the visit, a new solitary ulcerated lesion was discovered on the lateral right side of the tongue. The lesion was oval-shaped, approximately 5 mm in diameter, and exhibited a yellowish hue. It was encompassed by an erythematous halo, appeared shallow, had distinct borders, and displayed firmness. Over two weeks, the lesion had expanded from 5 mm to 1 cm, exhibiting induration. Remarkably, the lesion was painless, which raised concerns about its resemblance to Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC). Haematological investigations and leukocyte count outcomes returned within normal ranges, except for a below-normal count of stem neutrophils. The patient received guidance on measures to prevent re-trauma. Given the prevailing pandemic conditions and limitations in proximity, evaluations were conducted through periodic direct examination and teledentistry. Due to inadequate patient adherence to the provided instructions, the healing process of the lesion was prolonged. Upon patient re-education, a positive response to treatment was observed after two months of medical therapy and education. The clinical improvement underscored the significance of following up on chronic traumatic ulcerated lesions in the oral cavity, remarkably when their clinical presentation resembles signs of malignancy. Conclusion: Patient compliance significantly contributes to the successful management of chronic traumatic ulcer cases resembling OSCC, alongside eliminating underlying etiological factors.Keywordstraumatic ulcer, OSCC, patient compliance, medication, education.

The fingerprint identification process can be difficult if the postmortem data is damaged. Palatine rugae have stable and accurate postmortem data but antemortem data are not yet available. This study aimed to analyze the potential of palatine rugae pattern and fingerprints as a means of forensic identification. Methods: This research was conducted in a correlational analysis on 191 Deutro-malay sub races aged 18-25 years. Samples of index and Index finger fingerprints were taken using an FM200 sensor and Zsoft Attendance software. Palatine rugae prints were obtained using occlusal photographs from a 70D DSLR camera. The pattern of both shapes was analyzed using the ImageJ application. Results: The most common pattern of rugae and fingerprints is a combination of the pattern of the rugae palatine curve and the pattern of the loop fingerprint (C-L). Both have a distinctive characteristic of recurving ridges. The pattern of the palatine rugae curve (C) was (25.5%) and the pattern of the Loop print (L) was (51%) on the index finger. Based on statistical analysis, with an error rate of 5%, there was a significant relationship between the 1st right rugae and right index finger (p=0.0004), and right index finger (p=0.005), 2nd left rugae with right index finger (p=0.0092) and 1st right rugae with left index finger (p=0.033). Conclusion: There is a relationship between the pattern of the index and index finger fingerprints with the shape pattern of palatine rugae. These findings can be used as a reference for the development of forensic odontology identification techniques.Keywords: ImageJ, forensic odontology, fingerprints, palatine rugae.
