Abstract

Background: Multiple diastema is one of the most frequently encountered aesthetic problems related to patient confidence. This problem is still a challenge for the clinician to restore the gap between the teeth as desired by the patient. Indirect veneers have been approved as one of the treatment plans to deal with this aesthetic problem. Purpose: This case report aims to describe the management of multiple diastema in maxillary anterior teeth with indirect veneer restorations. Case: A 20-year-old woman came to RSKGM Universitas Airlangga with the main complaint of a gap between her upper front teeth. The patient was then explained about all the treatment options and agreed to a treatment plan for the indirect veneers restoration. Case Management: Treatment was carried out in 5 visits involving 6 maxillary anterior teeth. The teeth were vital and there was no discoloration. Post-treatment control was carried out one week after insertion. One of the advantages of bonded porcelain veneers is the minimally invasive treatment. Only 0.5 mm reduction was required on the incisal and labial surfaces. Conclusion: Indirect veneer restoration with minimally invasive techniques can provide good results in treating multiple diastema in the maxilla.

Abstract

Background: Odontogenic pain has a high prevalence where this pain is the result of noxious physical stimuli or calming inflammatory mediators that stimulate receptors located at the terminal ends of nociceptive C and Aδ afferent nerve fibers. Nano propolis is an alternative material that is used as a medicine in dentistry. Nano propolis is a mixture of natural resins containing flavonoids and phenolic acids which play a role in suppressing pain response through COX and NF-kB inhibition mechanisms. Nanoparticle technology is capable of preparing active drug ingredients in nano-sized particles and can affect drug effectiveness, because particle size affects the process of solubility, absorption and distribution of drugs. Research on the potential of nano propolis as an anti-pain is still minimal, so further research is needed on the function of nano propolis as an alternative anti-pain agent. Purpose: To determine the effective dose of nano propolis on pain response in Mus musculus. Methods: This research was conducted using the writhing test method to see the analgesic effect of nano propolis. The research sample consisted of 28 Mus musculus which were divided into four treatment groups, namely the piroxicam control group, and the nano propolis treatment group of 17.5 mg/kg, 35 mg/kg, and 70 mg/kg. Results: The results showed that the four treatment groups did not have a significant difference, in other words, they had the same anti-pain effect. Conclusion: Nano propolis 35 mg/kgBB is an effective dose in suppressing pain response in Mus musculus.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is the most common multifactorial infectious disease worldwide which referes to the process of destruction tooth hard tissue caused by bacterial by-products in the form of acids through carbohydrate fermentation. Lactobacillus acidophilus is one of the main cariogenic bacteria that causes caries by forming biofilms with the help ofglucosyltransferase (GTF) enzymes. Calcium hydroxide has limited antibacterial effects. Nano brown anchovy contains fluor as the active compound which has the potential as an antibacterial alternative agent. Purpose: To explain the inhibition of the combination of nano Stolephorus insularis and calcium hydroxide on the activity of the glucosyltransferase enzyme of Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria. Methods: This study used a combination of nano Stolephorus insularis 3.125% with calcium hydroxide as a treatment and aquades as a control. The GTF enzyme was obtained from the supernatant centrifuged by Lactobacillus acidophilus in BHIB. The activity of the GTF enzyme was considered by calculating the fructose levels using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) in a certain formula.Results: Decreased levels of fructose was obtained in the treatment group. From the results of Mann- Whitney data analysis, there were significant difference in the study groups. Conclusion: the combination of nano Stolephorus insularis with calcium hydroxide is effective to inhibit the glucosyltransferase enzyme activity of Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria.
