Abstract

The immune system reaction against infections and other foreign substances is known as the immune response. Nutrition is a critical component in the modulation of the immune system, hence the importance of a balanced diet. Better nutrition improves health, reinforces the immune system, contributes to longevity, and decreases the chance of non-communicable diseases. Thus, nutrition, health, and immune system are strongly connected. The aim of the present study is to evaluate current knowledge on the role of nutrition on the immune response. The article was conducted of two databases and were limited to the period from January 2018 to April 2023 with a combination of the following keywords: “role" and "nutrition" and "immune response. The results obtained were 17 articles found at the beginning of the search in both databases, and the 10 full text articles were selected for further review and discussion. The results of this study shows that immunonutrition plays a role in immune function. Nutrition such as vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, and folate; and trace elements (zinc, iron, selenium, magnesium, and copper) play important and complementary roles in supporting both the innate and adaptive immune systems. The development and maintenance of our immune system are very intricately tied to our dietary pattern. Therefore, working on our food habits and improving our nutrition seem to be a pragmatic approach to strengthen our immune response. Multiple micronutrients play vital roles in supporting the immune response.

Abstract

Dental caries and obesity are both global public health issues that can have an impact on overall systemic health. Despite numerous studies investigating the link between dental caries and obesity, the findings remain inconclusive. This review aimed to determine the relationship between overweight, obese and ECC, as well as the impact of other potential risk factors. Research articles were searched using electronic databases such as Pubmed and Scopus. The selection of studies was following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) protocols. The initial phase of searching for articles in databases yielded 1176 results. There were twenty-three articles that received full-text appraisals, and fourteen studies were eliminated for not meeting the eligibility criteria. Finally, the study included nine articles. Only one of the nine articles considered in this review was a cohort study. The years of publishing range from 2019 to 2023. The majority of the study settings (n=5) were in high-income countries. Five of the studies reviewed found no association between overweight or obesity and ECC, whereas four identified a significant association. Based on the findings of this review, the association between overweight, obesity, and ECC appears undetermined. The differences in the findings of the studies included in this review could be attributed to the various BMI indicators employed to define the nutritional status of children. Other risk factors such as family socioeconomic status, parental educational level, and parental awareness of oral hygiene and dental visits may influence the association between overweight, obesity, and ECC.

Abstract

Achieving adequate anesthesia in patients is one of the most important aspects of the practice of dentistry to control or eliminate of pain. Pain is one of the most commonly experienced symptoms in dentistry and is a major concern to the dentist. The most essential skill of all dental practitioners is the ability to provide safe and effective local anesthesia. Several local anesthetics are used by the dentist, lidocaine has been considered as the golden standard for local anesthetic agents in dentistry for years. Articaine and mepivacaine both relatively new anesthetic agents are now widely used too. The purpose of this article is to provide a pharmacological profile of the various local anesthetic formulations in current use and their technical considerations.

Abstract

Acute inflammation becomes chronic when inflammation prolongs. Oral inflammation can develop become chronic and can be serious disease. Cytokines are small secreted proteins released by cells have a specific effect on the interactions and communications between cells. Based on studied that cytokine can be one of markers of inflammation. In many diseases cytokines can be biomarkers of inflammation and recently many studies use cytokines as one of the biomarkers in additional examination for their studies
