Abstract

Tonsillolith Palatine are stones that logded in tonsillar palatine crypt, tonsillolith are stones that caused by an accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria, fungus, desquamated cells, food debris, and mucus that collect in the tonsillar crypts. Tonsillolith also known as tonsil stones, tonsillar concretion, or lith. Tonsilloliths have been recorded weighing from 0,3g to 4g. It may be difficult to remove, but are usually not harmful. Tonsillolith can be unilateral or bilateral. Occurs in young adult and are rare in children. Etiologi is unknown, it has been shown that the calcification develop with mass of desquamated epithelium cells, serum, food debris and bacterial colony. This case reports a patient with tonsillolith palatine. A -55 years-old female came to a private clinic, she complained difficult to swallow, sore throat, itching in right tonsillar, a foreign body-like sensation. On clinical examination, a superficial tonsillolith may be seen as white hard mass within the right tonsillar, tonsillar slightly inflammation. The tonsillolith size is 2x3x1mm. Treatment is usually removal of the tonsilliths by excavator and although mouthwash, clindamycin 300mg three times a day, diclofenac sodium 50mg three times a day, gargling helps wound healing. After tonsillith excavated , a week later the wound healing is well. Her right tonsil palatine looks healthy, wound healing is normal no sore throat, prognosis is good. Healing will be perfect when eating soft food. Successful treatment depends on good cooperation between the patient and the doctor. Keywords: tonsillolith palatine, sore throat, excavated

Abstract

The tooth enamel colour play an important role in esthetics. The discoloured teeth could be due to the using of boild Piper betle extract as a mouth wash. Up to now many people in Indonesia using the boiling Piper betle extract to manage oral diseases and to prevent tooth decay. The aim of this in vitro study are to know the effective concentration and application time of this agent to change the enamel colour. Fresh Piper betle leaves were processed to get 4 differents concentration (50, 33, 25, and 5%). Aquabidest was used as negative control. Every concentration was studyed using 2 maxillae premolar teeth in 24, 48, and 72 hours application times. 30 good condition teeth were used in this research. The results showed that every concentration gaves discoloured changes. The optimal concentration and duration are 25% and 48 hours. It is concluded that using of this gargling agent must be intermittent. It can be suggested to use this agent only once or twice daily, each for 2 until 3 minutes gargling.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal pain has been found to be a health problem for dental practitioners. If the disorders ignored, cumulative damage may result in lowered productivity and even early retirement, injury or disability. Reported prevalence musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) to the dental practitioners in Indonesia were not yet known for certain. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of MSD among dental practitioners in Malang, Indonesia and to identify the factors that affect the occurrence of MSD. The study design was a cross-sectional analysis. The participants were 95 general dentists in Malang-Indonesia who asked self-administrated filled out the questionnaire. The questionnaire contained inquiry about: age, gender, body mass index, the time-lapse as a dentist, working hours, number of patients, working with an assistant, exercises on the sidelines of working time, sports activity, working position and asking whether they were suffering from musculoskeletal disorders in the last 12 months. The data analyzed by descriptive and logistic regression. The results showed 58.9% dentists complaint musculoskeletal pain in the last 12 months. The common complaints felt by the participants were back pain 34.6%, shoulder 18,9% and neck 16.9%. The determinants factors statistically significant correlations on MSD were working hours per week, working position, and exercises on sidelines working time.

Abstract

Elderly is a natural process where changes in body tissue function include changes in oral tissues such as dry mouth, pale mucosa, mucosal thinning, attrition, and tooth loss. Maintaining the health of the oral cavity is one way to maintain body condition for the elderly. This study aims to determine the knowledge and behavior of oral health and oral health status in the elderly and its implications for general health. This study is an analytical study with a cross sectional approach, taking research subjects by purposive sampling and obtained 40 elderly people. The results showed that the average oral health status with poor criteria (DMF-T = 11,725; OHIS> 3.1 = 57.5%) and the elderly complained of impaired speech function, chewing and swallowing food. There is a significant relationship between knowledge and oral health behavior with DMFT (p = 0.85) and OHIS (p = 0.828). It was concluded that poor oral health status in the elderly could have implications for health problems both locally in the oral cavity and the body in general.Keywords: oral health status, elderly, health implications

Abstract

The incisor has a variation of root canal morphology, which can be assessed using periapical radiography. Periapical radiography with standard angulation often makes complicates the assessment of the root canal morphology that is branched off in buccal and lingual directions because the radiograph result of the root canal will appear superimposed. Therefore, it is necessary to change horizontal angulation to mesial or distal to help assess the superimposed root canal. Root canal morphology may vary by population. The population in Indonesia consists mainly of the sub-races of Proto and Deutro-Malay. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference of root canal morphology between maxillary and mandibular incisors; between the sub-races of Proto and Deutro-Malay; and between the right and left regions, using twice the radiation projection. This study was an analytical study with cross-sectional method using 55 subjects who come from three previous generations of Proto and Deutro-Malay. On each tooth were performed twice radiations periapical radiography, using standard angulation and altering horizontal angulation toward distal 30º. The results showed that in Proto-Melayu, for maxillary central incisors maxillary teeth were obtained type I (99.1%) and III (0.9%) Vertucci, and maxillary lateral incisors were obtained type I Vertucci (100%). In mandibular central incisors were obtained type I (90%), II (3.6%), III (2.7%) Vertucci and IV Gulabivala (3.6%), and mandibular lateral incisors were obtained type I (87.3 %), II (1.8%), III (7.3%) Vertucci and type IV Gulabivala (3.6%). In Deutro-Malay, maxillary central incisors were obtained 100% Vertucci type I and maxillary lateral incisors were obtained type I (99.1%) and II (0.9%). In mandibular central incisors were obtained type I (85.5%), III (11.8%) Vertucci, IV Gulabivala (1.8%), and other types 1-2-1-2-1 (0.9%), and mandibular lateral incisors were obtained by type I (81.8%) and III (18.2%) Vertucci. The result of chi-square analysis showed there were no significant differences of root canal morphology of maxillary insicors tooth between Proto and Deutro-Malay and between right and left region (p> 0,05), but there were significant differences of root canal morphology between maxillary and mandibular incisors and root canal morphology of the mandibular incisor between Proto and Deutro-Malay (p <0.05). In conclusion, maxillary and mandibular incisors of Proto and Deutro-Malay sub-races have variations in root canal configuration and there were differences found in the mandibular incisors.
