Abstract

Aggressive periodontitis belongs to a group of periodontal disease that develops rapidly and occurs in healthy individuals and is associated with heredity. The purpose of this article is to find out the causes, characteristics and treatment of aggressive periodontitis. Aggressive periodontitis is characterized by an increased number of bacteria Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis. Clinically there is a plaque that forms a thin layer on the tooth surface. Initial symptoms are found in mobility and pathologic migration of first molar and incisors. Treatment of aggressive periodontitis is by administering antibiotics accompanied by scaling and root planing. Instruction to maintain oral hygiene should be emphasized to the patient. Tooth extraction is done if the prognosis is not good. The diagnosis of aggressive periodontitis can be established by examining the history of the disease, clinical examination includes examination of pocket depth and examination of attachment loss and supported by radiographic examination. Aggressive periodontitis has hereditary tendency, therefore the patient’s siblings and families should be included in the examination of this disease.

Abstract

Radiopacity is an important characteristic for restorative materials as dentists have got different abilities in interpreting a lesion or caries in a radiograph. The enforcement of secondary caries diagnosis is a challenge for dentists because they often mistake the diagnosis for restorative materials with low radiopacity. This study aims to determine the differences in the average radiopacity values of certain restorative materials by using conventional and digital radiographs. Moreover, to know the right types of radiographs in distinguishing between radiopacity of certain restorative materials and radiodensity of secondary caries. This is an analytical descriptive study with cross sectional design. The sample was divided into 10 groups of 6, which is dental radiograph filled with glass ionomer cement, resin modified glass ionomer cement, nanofiller and micro hybrid composites as well as teeth with secondary caries which were obtained from conventional and digital radiographs. Next, conventional and digital radiographs were interpreted by observations of 5 dental specialists in which measurement was done by using Image J software to get the average radiopacity values of secondary caries and each restorative material. The results showed that the average radiopacity values for glass ionomer cement are 177.633 ± 6.465 and 187.879 ± 9.305, resin modified glass ionomer cement are179.498 ± 5.597 and 192.078 ± 11.006, composite nanofillers are 194.847 ± 4.952 and 184.401 ± 9.170, microhybridcomposites are 189.109 ± 4.251 and 179.585 ± 6.809, finally secondary caries are 161.772 ± 9.256 and 109.988 ± 7.684 for conventional and digital radiographs respectively. Then the data was analyzed by using T test with significance value of p <0.05. As a conclusion, this study shows no significant difference in the radiopacity of four restorative materials if compared between conventional and digital radiographs while digital radiograph shows significant difference between radiopacity values of restorative materials and secondary caries. Whereas, conventional radiograph does not show significant difference between restorative materials and secondary caries.

Abstract

Anatomical terminology is derived from classical languages, primarily Latin. Latin was used as the language of science until the early 18th century, so all medical textbooks were previously written in Latin. The existence of Latin in the textbooks of anatomy-histology-embryology in Indonesia becomes a challenge for students, lecturers, and researchers because they often have no background knowledge of Latin. The gap in Latin makes English textbooks preferable. English-based anatomy textbooks have been widely translated into Indonesian, but the translation of anatomical terminology in English has no standardization yet. The translations of anatomical terms can be based on several sources, namely: (1) Nomina Anatomica, Nomina Histologica, and Nomina Embryologica; (2) Terminologia Anatomica (TA), Terminologia Histologica (TH), and Terminologia Embryologica (TE); (3) Absorption language by adopting Latin and writing the anatomical terms in accordance with Indonesian spelling; and (4) Translation from English to Indonesian. The aim of this paper was to initiate the selection and determination of the anatomical terms which should be used in Indonesian in order to translate the English-based anatomy textbooks.

Abstract

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is the major cause of death in most countries in the world. Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria have been identified in bacteremia cases and known to have a role in various vascular diseases, including Streptococcus sanguinis which is most frequently isolated from endocarditis patients and often associated with CHD. The purpose of this study was to analyze the number of Streptococcus sanguinis isolated from dental plaque and saliva of subjects with and without CHD. Bacterial colonies isolated from the dental plaque and saliva of 16 subjects without CHD and 8 subjects with CHD were planted in Mitis salivarius agar, and then the DNA was extracted and quantified with a Real-Time PCR technique using 16S rRNA specific primers. The quantification of Real-Time PCR showed that there was a difference in the number of S. sanguinis between the two groups of subjects, but an unpaired T-test showed that the difference was not statistically significant. Furthermore, the number of S. sanguinis from dental plaque in CHD subjects tends to be higher than that of non-CHD subjects whereas the number of S. sanguinis from saliva in non-CHD subjects tends to be higher than that of CHD subjects.

Abstract

Over the recent decade, attention has been focused on the pathologic role of free radicals in a variety of diseases, which are most related to the carcinogenesis process. Carcinogenesis is a multi-step process that is induced primarily by carcinogens leading to the development of cancer. Extensive research in the last few years has revealed that regular consumption of certain fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of acquiring specific cancers. Catechins are phytochemical compounds found in high concentrations in a variety of plant-based foods and beverages. Studies with cell lines have demonstrated that catechins affect signal transduction pathways, inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis. More mechanistic studies in these areas will help us to understand the inhibitory action of catechin against carcinogenesis and provide background for evaluating the effects of catechin on human carcinogenesis.

Abstract

Cleft palate patients experience various problems, especially those affecting their speech intelligibility, such as speech articulation disorder. The aim of this research was to prove the effect of cleft palate reconstruction with modified pushback z–plasty technique at the nasal mucosa on velopharyngeal function and articulation function in speaking. A research has been conducted on post-reconstruction cleft palate patients by using modified pushback z-plasty technique at the nasal mucosa. The methods were examining velopharyngeal components with cephalometric radiograph, assessing airflow released from the nose when the patients pronounce vowel ‘a’ using nasal emission device and assessing speech articulation results through Sehati Program at Harapan Kita Children and Maternity Hospital, Jakarta. The research results showed that there was a statistically significant effect of cleft palate reconstruction with pushback z-plasty technique at the nasal mucosa on velopharyngeal function, and there was a statistically significant effect of cleft palate reconstruction with pushback z-plasty technique at the nasal mucosa on articulation function in speaking. In addition, there was also a statistically significant correlation between velopharyngeal function and speech articulation function of post-reconstruction cleft palate patients with pushback z-plasty technique at the nasal mucosa based on the cephalometric radiograph, but the result was not significant statistically based on nasal emission assessment.

Abstract

Teeth are known as organs made up of the hardest mineral tissue that is resistant to decay and physical, thermal, mechanical, chemical or biological damage. Tooth crown dimensions are reasonably accurate predictors of genders especially to young individuals whose secondary skeletal characteristics are yet developed. This research aims to analyse the influence of genders to the width of maxillary central incisor Minangkabaunese. The study was conducted using cross-sectional method in Luhak Agam, Luhak Tanah Datar and Luhak Lima Puluh Kota, West Sumatra using simple random sampling technique to a total of 120 samples. Teeth width was measured in mesiodistal dimension with 0.01 mm calibrated sliding digital caliper. The measurement was done on a tooth mould at â…“ incisal as the position of mesial and biggest distar. T-test independent statistic test was done to determine the relationship between the 2 variables. Sexual dimorphism was determined with Garn formula. The research shows significant difference (p=0.001) between the width of left and right central incisor in males and females. The average width of the male and female right maxillary incisor is 8.545 mm and 8.370 mm, while the left central incisor width is 8.877 mm in male and 8.283 mm in females. Sexual dimorphism on the right central incisor is 2.09% and 3.43% on the left side. The conclusion of the study is that maxillary central incisor width can distinguish different genders in the identification process.

Abstract

Teeth physiologically undergo demineralization and remineralisation processes. One way to reduce demineralization can be done with the use of CPP-ACP (Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate), which has high calcium bioavailability. The use of natural materials products in the field of dentistry is currently growing, one of which is bilimbi/ starfruit (belimbingwuluh) that is rich in minerals and has many benefits. This study aims to analyze the effect of extract of bilimbi in tooth enamel remineralisation which is tested by using SEM and EDX equipments so that the difference of enamel surface microstructure and the amount of calcium and phosphorus content of tooth enamel surface can be identified. A total of eight hidden molar teeth were extracted, cut into four parts and divided into four groups, namely group I: the teeth applied with the wuluh bilimbi gel, group II: the teeth applied with CPP-ACP gel, group III: the teeth applied with the combination gel of starfruit extract and CPP-ACP gel, group IV: without any application. The result of this study was assessed qualitatively and it was noticeable that the treatment group combination of CPP-ACP gel and starfruit gel had the smoothest enamel surface microstructure. Quantitatively, there were significant difference is the three treatment groups (p≤ 0.05). The conclusion of this research is the effect of the application of wuluh bilimbi extract gel, CPP-ACP gel and gel combination of starfruit with CPP-ACP gel towards the remineralisation and microstructure of tooth enamel surface.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of dental caries is still as a major world health problem. Caries is the direct result of acid production by cariogenic oral pathogens, especially Streptococcus mutans. New and better antimicrobial agents active against cariogenic bacteria with minimal side effects on the oral tissues are much needed, especially natural agents derived directly from plants. Phytochemical studies have shown that the extracts from various parts of mangosteen or Garciniamangostana Linn tree contain varieties of secondary metabolites such as prenylated and oxygenated xanthones, many of which have been found in vitro to have antimicrobial properties against oral pathogens. Several studies which examined the eficacy of herbal for human health have shown that xanthones from mangosteen have remarkable biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer etc, and had no cytotoxic effects on human gingival fibroblasts. Their results showed that among these xanthone derivatives obtain from pericarp extract of mangosteen, α-mangostin has the most potent antimicrobial activity against cariogenic Streptococcus mutans. It can be concluded that the strong antimicrobial activity of the pericarp extract of mangosteen is a good drug of choice that might be helpful in preventing the dental caries.
