Abstract

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a widely used food additive that enhances flavor. However, excessive MSG intake during pregnancy and lactation may pose health risks to both the mother and the developing fetus, particularly in terms of tooth and bone development. This study aimed to investigate the effect of maternal oral administration of MSG during pregnancy and lactation on calcium levels in the teeth and alveolar bones of rat offspring. This research is a laboratory experiment with a post-test-only control group design. Thirty pregnant Sprague Dawley rats were randomly allocated into three groups: a control group receiving distilled water and two treatment groups receiving MSG at doses of 3 mg/g BW and 6 mg/g BW, respectively. MSG was administered orally from the 5th day of pregnancy until the end of the lactation period. The calcium levels in the teeth and alveolar bones of the offspring were measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc LSD. The mean calcium levels in the teeth and alveolar bones of the offspring in the MSG treatment groups were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The reduction in calcium levels was dose-dependent, with the higher MSG dose (6 mg/g BW) resulting in a more pronounced decrease compared to the lower dose (3 mg/g BW). Maternal MSG intake during pregnancy and lactation leads to a dose-dependent decrease in calcium levels in rat offspring’s teeth and alveolar bones, suggesting that excessive MSG intake during these critical periods potentially leads to impaired tooth and bone development.

Abstract

Patients with thalassemia generally have high caries rates. Dental caries in children can have a negative impact on daily activities and quality of life. Researchs on the comparison of caries and oral health related quality of life between thalassemia children and healthy children provides inconsistent results. The aim of this study was to compare dental caries and oral health-related quality of life between children with thalassemia major and healthy children. This study was a cross sectional study involving 17 children with thalassemia mayor and 22 healthy children who were selected by purposive sampling in Banyumas, Central Java. Caries was assessed using the DMFT/deft index through digital panoramic radiographs and clinical photographs of the oral cavity. Oral health-related quality of life was assessed using the Indonesian version of the Child Oral Health Impact Profile-SF 19 questionnaire. DMFT /deft scores in thalassemia major children and healthy children were 2.64 ± 2.06 and 2.23 ± 1.38, respectively. OHRQoL scores in thalassemia major and healthy children were 56.82 ± 10.35 and 56.73 ± 7.70, respectively. There was no significant difference between DMFT/deft scores and oral health-related quality of life scores between thalassemia major children and healthy children (p=0.663 and p=0.974, respectively). Nevertheless, oral health in children with thalassemia should be improved.

Abstract

Background: Acute primary herpetic gingivostomatitis is the symptomatic presentation of the initial exposure to the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). The clinical condition of acute primary herpetic gingivostomatitis is characterized by a prodromal of fever followed by an eruption of painful, ulcerative lesions of the gingiva and mucosa, and often, perioral, vesicular lesions. Purpose: The case reported management of acute primary herpetic gingiva-stomatitis in a 6 years old boy. Case: A 6-year-old boy with complaints of difficulty eating or drinking due to pain associated with multiple ulcers in the oral cavity and lips. Patient have been living in boarding school since 6 months ago and was complained of stomatitis which have occurred 4 days ago followed by fever and malaise. Case Management: The patient was instructed to eat nutritious (high calorie and protein diet), soft, blend diet and the following medications were prescribed: (1) antiviral drug (Acyclovir® tablet 200mg) for four times a day; (2) topical hyaluronic acid gel (Aloclair® gel 8ml) to be applied on lesions; (3) mouthwash containing benzydamine hydrochloride (Tantum Verde® 15ml) for three times a day; and (4) multivitamin syrup for three times a day. Conclusion: The case reported that the drugs treatment was used according to the severity of HSV-1 infection and patient's symptoms of acute primary herpetic gingiva-stomatitis. Providing supportive care and educating about transmission of the virus are important aspects of nursing care.

Abstract

Background: Orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting abnormal teeth and jaw positions for better facial esthetics. Abnormal teeth can be corrected by interincisal angle, while vertical angle can determine the facial growth pattern. Purpose: Analyze the interincisal and vertical angles on convex facial profiles of Javanese orthodontic patients in the Banyumas Regency. Method: Analytical descriptive research was conducted with a cross-sectional design. A purposive sampling technique was used to obtain lateral cephalograms totaling 33 based on inclusion and exclusion criteria from three locations. The lateral cephalogram was traced using tracing paper, while the interincisal and vertical angles were measured based on Steiner's analysis. Two operators carried out measurements, starting with tracing validation and the Kappa test. Furthermore, the results were from the average measurement of the two operators. Result: The mean interincisal and vertical angles were 115.30° and 37.04° with a protrusive inclination and hyperdivergent face, respectively. The correlation test showed a p-value of 0.432 (p > 0.05), meaning there was no relationship between the interincisal and vertical angles in Javanese orthodontic patients. Conclusion: There is no relationship between the interincisal and vertical angles in the convex facial profile of Javanese orthodontic patients in the Banyumas Regency.
