Abstract

Pregnancy gingivitis is a common condition characterized by gum inflammation, swelling, and bleeding. Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy can increase susceptibility to dental infections, particularly in teeth and gums. Factors such as hormonal fluctuations, morning sickness, dietary changes, heightened gum sensitivity, and decreased dental care practices can contribute to this issue. Although hormonal changes do not directly cause dental infections, they can heighten the susceptibility to gum issues and potentially exacerbate the progression of dental infections. This review provides a comprehensive description of pregnancy gingivitis and its contributing factors. The literature search process was carried out on various databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar) regarding gingivitis and hormonal changes in pregnancy. The search was performed using the terms: (1) "gingivitis" OR "gingivitis pregnancy" OR "gingival inflammation” AND (2) "pregnancy". Within the scope of the review, a total of three quantitative studies were incorporated. In summary, gingivitis during pregnancy is a condition characterized by hormonal fluctuations, particularly heightened levels of estrogen and progesterone. These fluctuations can affect gum health, leading to heightened blood circulation, sensitivity to plaque formation, and changes in gum size and shape.

Abstract

Antibiotics are frequently employed in the field of dentistry for both prophylactic and therapeutic applications. Prophylactic antibiotics are used as a preventive measure against endocarditis, whereas therapeutic antibiotics are employed to treat infections in the oral cavity. Orofacial infections constitute a substantial component of dental therapy, wherein antibiotics assume a prominent role. Nevertheless, the utilization of antibiotic prophylaxis has become deemed inappropriate as a result of its widespread implementation. This study investigates the trends of antibiotic prescription among dentists in Indonesia. The analysis demonstrates that there is a concerning trend among dentists in Indonesia who are engaging in unethical prescription practices, namely with regards to antibiotics such as amoxicillin and clindamycin. These antibiotics are frequently employed due to their cost-effectiveness, low levels of toxicity, and capacity to compete with the absorption of nutrients from food. Antibiotic resistance can arise as a consequence of the inappropriate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Hence, it is imperative for dentists to show judiciousness in the prescription of antibiotics, taking into account many criteria such as dental cleanliness, complexity of extraction technique, and kind of extraction.

Abstract

Numerous scientific investigations have been undertaken to assess the efficacy of standard root canal preparation methods and the crown-down procedure in mitigating the ejection of apical debris. The aforementioned research examines multiple facets, encompassing the efficacy of canal cleaning, the potential for debris extrusion, and their influence on the outcome of root canal therapy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of conventional and crown-down root canal preparation methods in relation to the extrusion of apical debris. The literature search used a lot of different databases, like PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar, to look into how well traditional and crown-down root canal preparation methods work for getting debris out of the root canal. Traditional methods of root canal preparation have been extensively employed in the field of endodontics. While root canal cleaning and shaping techniques have demonstrated efficacy, there is still a potential danger of apical debris extrusion. Several factors contribute to the level of risk involved in dental procedures. These factors encompass the use of instruments, the amount of pressure applied during preparation, the effectiveness of irrigation, and the level of experience possessed by the dentist. In conclusion, the efficacy of both methodologies is contingent upon various aspects, including the level of expertise possessed by the dentist, the specific instruments employed, the irrigation technique employed, and the thoroughness of the case examination. The particulars of each case and the dentist's personal preference should guide the choice of either procedure.

Abstract

The acetylation process using acetic anhydride entails substituting a hydroxyl group (OH) on p-aminophenol with an acetyl group (-COCH3), resulting in the synthesis of paracetamol. In addition to acetic anhydride, this reaction necessitates the presence of a catalyst that enhances the reaction rate for improved efficiency. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the process of synthesizing paracetamol through the acetylation of p-aminophenol using acetic anhydride. The literature search was conducted using multiple databases, including PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar, to explore the synthesis of paracetamol through the acetylation of p-aminophenol using acetic anhydride. A sulfuric acid catalyst is often used to mix p-aminophenol with acetic anhydride in the process of making paracetamol. This approach is commonly employed in the synthesis of paracetamol. Colorimetric analysis, employing FeCl3 solution, is a widely utilized method in analytical chemistry for the identification of specific compounds. This approach relies on the observation and interpretation of color changes that occur during the reaction. The Rf value of 0.88, which is identical to that of pure paracetamol, confirms that the combination of p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride produces the most effective acetylation process with a yield of 59.5% and a high level of purity. The resulting product exhibits a melting point range of 169–170°C and an infrared spectrum that is indistinguishable from that of pure paracetamol.

Abstract

Oral bad habits refer to external sources, such as nail biting, item biting (e.g., pencils and pens), finger sucking, cheek sucking, and mouth breathing. The act of inhaling and exhaling through the mouth is the predominant behavior that frequently leads to irregularities in the facial composition and misalignment of the teeth. Mouth breathing during the growth and development phase can impact dentocraniofacial growth. Persistent mouth breathing results in muscular anomalies in the vicinity of the mouth, perhaps resulting in malocclusion. The purpose of this review is to delineate detrimental oral behaviors in children and elucidate their repercussions on oral health and dental development.

Abstract

Pain is a subjective sensation that plays a crucial role in physiological illnesses. Orthodontic tooth movement frequently results in pain, serving as a major obstacle for individuals contemplating orthodontic treatment. Moreover, it is a key determinant leading to the cessation of treatment. This review aims to elucidate the notion of pain associated with orthodontic therapy. Nociception, a complex neurophysiological process, involves four component processes: transduction, transmission, modulation, and perception. During nociception, the central nervous system (cortex cerebri) senses the sensation of pain as powerful peripheral stimuli occur.
