Abstract

Periodontal disease consists of gingivitis and periodontitis. They occur due to the interaction between bacterial antigens and the host tissue hence neutrophil is activated, antibody is produced and bone resorption is occurred. Enzymatic changes to diagnose periodontal disease index (PDI) based on biomarker measurement scale is useful for an accurate diagnosis and a successful measurement of periodontal disease therapy. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) was selected as the biological medium. This research aims to analyze the relationship between neutrophil elastase level and periodontal tissue damages at gingivitis and periodontitis. The study involved 66 people as samples with 22 healthy samples, 22 mild gingivitis samples and 22 early periodontitis samples. Enzyme level studied was tested using ELISA technique. In this cross-sectional study, neutrophil elastase enzyme level was compared between healthy, mild gingivitis and early periodontitis sample groups. Data analysis was performed using ANOVA test. The average NE level based on PDI group is ± SD 2.65 ng/dl ± 1.28 in healthy sample group. There is an increase by 2.3 times in mild gingivitis sample group where NE level is ± SD 6.27 ng/dl ± 1.13.While, the light periodontitis group has NE level of ± SD 9.38 ng/dl ± 1.06 which equals to 3.5 times increase from the healthy sample group. This research concludes that the rise of neutrophil elastase level in gingival crevicular fluid is related to the severity of gingivitis and periodontitis diseases.

Abstract

The alveolar process is the most supporting tooth containing trabeculae and has the highest metabolic rate in the mandibular body of post-menopausal women. The decreasing in estrogens level on post-menopausal women results a faster reaction than men for 2-3 times. This research aims to determine the bone quality based on trabeculae alveolar process analysis using panoramic radiographs. The research methodology was to conduct 67 samples of panoramic radiographs from RSGM Unpad. This research applied observational analytic methodology by taking cross-sectional data using secondary data on three groups of bone quality based on measurement using DEXA t-score (normal, osteopenia and osteoporosis). The panoramic radiograph data processing was conducted with Image J software by separating the background and foreground (trabeculae). A focus of 30x30 mm ROI in the alveolar distal portion of the left and right mandibular second premolar teeth, and calculation of trabecular area. Result: average of normal trabecular area: 82.35%, osteopenia: 73.9% and osteoporosis: 68.7% respectively. The difference between normal and osteoporosis was discovered, but no difference was found between normal and osteopenia with p <0.05. This research concludes that the region of interest trabecular of alveolar process with panoramic radiograph can be used to detect osteoporosis on post-menopausal women.

Abstract

Heat-cured acrylic denture base-plate may act as reservoir for Streptococcus mutans (all species name must be in italics) colonies, this condition may lead to denture stomatitis. One of denture cleansing method that frequently used is by immersion (of what?) in oxygenizing denture cleansers that has several disadvantages such as high cost and biocompatibility issue regarding chemical synthetic component of the solution. Chitosan is a natural compound that has antibacterial nature. The most commonly percentage of chitosan used for biomedical purposes is 2%. The objective of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial effectivity of chitosan 2% on acrylic heat-cured plates and compare it with oxygenizing denture cleansers. Aquadest was used as control. Fifteen acrylic heat-cured plates (10 x10 x 2 mm) immersed in Streptococcus mutans suspensions at temperature 37°C for 48 hours of 3 different solutions. The solutions were vortexed and put into (Brain Heart Infusion Agar) medium. Streptococcus mutans colonies were counted manually. The result shows, that Streptococcus mutans colonies on aquadest group was 269.75 CFU/plate, followed by oxygenizing denture cleanser with 11 CFU/plate), and chitosan 2% group with 0.4 CFU/plate, respectively. Data were analysed with Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test followed by Mann-Whitney test shows of p=0.012 (p<0.05). There were no statistically significant different of antimicrobial activity between chitosan 2% and oxygenizing denture cleanser. The result demonstrated that chitosan 2% solution was more effective to prohibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans colonies on acrylic heat cured plates, however a statistically significant difference between the two groups was not observed.

Abstract

Amalgam is a filler material containing toxic mercury. One of the main risks comes from the mercury vapor released in the mouth. The presence of amalgams in the oral cavity changes the metabolism of epithelial cells in the oral mucosa. Exfoliative cytology is a fast and easy method because the examination is only performed on the surface of the oral mucosa, and epithelial cells can be released without anesthesia. The research method was an analytical descriptive with a cross-sectional design. Epithelial cells from oral mucosa were collected from 32 samples using the cytobrush method. The epithelial cells were collected on the closest buccal mucosa of the amalgam restoration. The number of epithelial cells in the oral mucosa was seen through micrographs from a microscope with 100x magnification. The data were analyzed using the Mann Whitney U test to determine the number of epithelial cells released. The Mann Whitney U test results showed that there was a significant difference in the number of oral mucosal epithelial cells obtained ​​between subjects with amalgam and subjects without amalgam with p<0.05. In addition, there was a difference in the features of oral mucosal epithelial cells between subjects with amalgam and subjects without amalgam. In conclusion, the number of epithelial cells obtained from amalgam users was higher than the subjects without restorations. The forms of epithelial cells which experience desquamation in the subjects with amalgam were more irregular than those of subjects without restorations.

Abstract

Smoking is associated with a wide spectrum of disease including systemic diseases such as cancer, lung,and cardiovascular disease. Smoking is one of the risk factors that cause the severity of periodontal disease which is influenced by the number of cigarettes consumed per day. This study was aimed to analyze the comparison among periodontal status in mild, moderate, and heavy smokers in the Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Sumatera Utara. This study was an observational analytic study with the cross-sectional approach,and sampling was done by purposive sampling method. This study was held in PeriodonticsInstallation, USU Dental Hospital (RSGM USU) with a total number of 80 sampleswas selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. A questionnaire and informed consent form were distributed to the samples at the beginning of the study followed by oral examination such as Periodontal Index Russell. The analysis data was performed by one way ANOVA test to show the differences in periodontal status among mild, moderate, and heavy smokers. The results showed that there was a significant difference among the mean of periodontal index scores in mild, moderate, and heavy smokers (p<0,05). As a conclusion,the more cigarettes consumed the worse of periodontal status.

Abstract

Oral potentially malignant disorders have been associated with a betel quid chewing habit. To date, betel quid chewing has a major social and cultural role in the society of Samosir Island, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the occurrence of oral potentially malignant disorders associated with the habit of betel quid chewing in the society of Samosir Island, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This case-control study was conducted on all betel quid chewers in the working area of the Ambarita Public Health Centre in Samosir Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. All subjects were examined clinically for the presence of any oral lesions and interviewed for their betel quid chewing habit. Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were used to analyze the relationship between variables. Among the 51 subjects recruited in the study, 28 subjects suffered from oral potentially malignant disorders who had oral potentially malignant disorders such as submucous fibrosis and/or leukoplakia (the case group) whereas 23 subjects showed no clinically detectable oral potentially malignant disorders (the control group). An increased risk of oral potentially malignant disorders was associated with the habit of chewing areca nut and tobacco (OR=1.600; p=0.542), the duration of betel quid chewing more than 25 years (OR=4.379; p=0.023), and the frequency of betel quid chewing more than 6 times/day (OR=4.800; p=0.021). In conclusion, oral potentially malignant disorders were associated with chewing betel quid habit in the society of Samosir Island, North Sumatra, Indonesia.

Abstract

Patients with removable partial denture need abutment tooth as retainer for the clasp. In some cases, this tooth requires endodontic treatment or even jacket crown so it can be used as a clasp retainer. For patient with removable partial denture, post core and crown fabrication in abutment teeth require adjustments to the crown to fit with denture clasp. First case, a 23-year-old male patient with fractured lower second premolar tooth because of previous metal restoration failure and had been treated with root canal treatment. The tooth was used as an abutment for removable partial denture that was still in good condition. The tooth was later treated with cast post and core with PFM (Porcelain fused to metal) crown. Second case, a 60-year-old female patient came to the clinic with a complaint of fracture in upper first premolar. This tooth was also used as abutment for maxillary framework partial denture. A template made of pattern resin was made to reproduce the dentures for both cases. Acrylic resin has good accuracy and stability to reproduce parts of the denture. The advantage of this technique is that patients can use their denture during fabrication of the crown.
