Abstract

Background: The Demirjian method is used in assessing the stages of growth and development of teeth to calculate a person’s estimated age. In 1973, Demirjian identified the eight stages of tooth growth and development and their respective criteria. Purpose: To analyze the validity of Demirjian’s method for estimating dental age among children aged 6–17 years old in Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: From August–October 2020, 162 panoramic radiographs of patients aged 6–17 years were taken at the radiology department of Airlangga Dental Hospital. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software for different tests, including a paired t test. Results: Using the Demirjian method, there was no significant dissimilarity between chronological age (CA) and estimated dental age (EDA) in the male group. However, a significant dissimilarity was found between CA and EDA in the female group. Conclusion: Demirjian’s method can be used as a tool for estimating the dental age of males age 6-17 years old in Surabaya.

Abstract

Background: Andaliman (Zanthoxylum achantopodium DC) is an endemic plant that is found in the province of Sumatera Utara, Indonesia. It contains secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, tannins, and triterpenoids/steroids, which can potentially be used as a mouthwash. Streptococcus sanguinis and Staphylococcus aureus are the primary colonizing bacteria in plaque formation. Bacterial plaque is known to be the main cause of periodontal disease but can be controlled mechanically and chemically using mouthwash. Purpose: To determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of andaliman extract mouthwash (2%, 4%, 8%) against Streptococcus sanguinis ATCC®10556™ and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 25923™. Methods: This is a laboratory study with a post-test control-only design. The sample consists of andaliman extract mouthwash (2%, 4%, 8%), a positive control (chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2%), and a negative control (mouthwash formulation without andaliman extract) with three repetitions for each group. Data were analyzed with the one-way ANOVA test and post hoc LSD test. Results: The andaliman extract mouthwash with concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 8% significantly reduced the number of Streptococcus sanguinis and Staphylococcus aureus colonies (p<0.05), and there was a significant difference in the andaliman extract mouthwash with concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 8% compared to the negative control. Conclusion: Andaliman extract mouthwash with a concentration of 8% was more effective in inhibiting Streptococcus sanguinis growth than Staphylococcus aureus. The MIC values for both bacteria were 2%, but the study could not determine the MBC value.

Abstract

Background: Enterococcus faecalis commonly infects root canals by forming a biofilm. Extracts from neem leaves (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) have been shown to have antibacterial properties, indicating their potential in preventing or treating biofilm formation caused by bacteria. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the phytochemical compounds present in neem leaves (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) and establish the concentration of ethanol-based neem leaf extract that can effectively inhibit the in vitro growth of Enterococcus faecalis biofilm. Methods: This study employed the maceration technique for extraction, gas chromatography mass spectroscopy for the analysis of plant chemicals, and a microtiter plate assay for measuring biofilm formation with treatment concentrations of 6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 75%, with a positive control of 0.2% chlorhexidine. Results: A phytochemical analysis revealed that the ethanol extract of neem leaves contained 22 different metabolites, mainly terpenoids and fatty acids. The extract demonstrated antibiofilm activity only at a concentration of 12.5% with an average biofilm inhibition of 36.85%. However, lower concentrations of 6.25%, 25%, 50%, and 75% had the opposite effect, promoting biofilm formation in Enterococcus faecalis. Conclusion: Phytochemical metabolite contained in the ethanolic extracts of neem leaves might contribute a promising agent in treating a biofilm-mediated root canal infection of Enterococcus faecalis.

Abstract

Background: Tooth loss leads to decreased masticatory function, which affects nutritional intake. Tooth loss accompanied by poor nutritional status affects quality of life both physically and psychosocially. Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the relationship between number of teeth lost due to nutritional status and quality of life. Methods: A study conducted at Gulai Bancah Primary Health Care in Bukittinggi. Participants were recruited using a non-probability purposive sampling technique. 178 pre-elderlies aged between 45 and 59 years took part in this study. Tooth loss was reported in the dental examination format while nutritional status and quality of life pertaining to dental and oral health were determined using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). Pearson correlation and path analysis were utilized to analyze the data. Results: The Pearson correlation test indicated a moderate correlation between tooth loss and nutritional status (r = -0.549) and a strong correlation between the number tooth lost and quality of life (r = -0.742). Pathway analysis confirmed that the direct effect value (beta coefficient = 0.552) was greater than the indirect effect value (beta coefficient = 0.189). The findings indicated that, indirectly, the amount of tooth loss mediated with nutritional status had no significant relationship to quality of life. Conclusion: An increase in tooth loss leads to pre-elderly poor nutritional status and quality of life. However, nutritional status is not an intermediate factor between the number of teeth lost and pre-elderly quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption (PEIR) is a rare condition usually detected through an incidental radiographic finding. The etiology and pathogenesis of this phenomenon are not fully understood. Purpose: To describe two cases in which multiple impacted third molars with PEIR defects were identified. Cases: Female patients aged 77 and 82 years, respectively, were presented with dental issues. Radiolucencies in the dental crown areas of the impacted maxillary and mandibular third molars were initially detected on the panoramic radiographs. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed to better evaluate the impacted teeth. The results showed that the intracoronal defects extended through more than two-thirds of the thickness of the coronal dentin. Case Managements: Considering the patients’ age and their asymptomatic status, a conservative approach with radiographic follow-up was considered most appropriate. Four-year follow-up checks revealed that the teeth remained asymptomatic in both patients. Conclusion: This case report confirms that PEIR can affect impacted third molars, even in elderly patients. CBCT images are preferred for diagnosing PEIR defects because this method provides an accurate assessment of internal tooth anatomy. With an accurate diagnosis of asymptomatic PEIR, the lesion can be monitored.

Abstract

Background: The treatment of severe periodontitis must consider immune responses and local conditions, including the aesthetical aspects. The tooth loss in the anterior area can lead to a psychological issue in some patients, and the daily use of dexamethasone contributes greatly to the severity of aesthetical aspects. Periodontal treatments must be cautious of these aesthetical effects. Purpose: To report the aesthetical consideration in patient management of severe periodontitis aggravated by oral dexamethasone. Case: The 44-year-old female patient reported having tooth mobility in the upper right and left central incisor and lower right and left posterior. Due to the condition, the central anterior needed to be extracted. The patient had seafood allergies and consumed oral dexamethasone periodically to prevent allergic reactions for two years. Case management: The initial periodontal therapy was designed prior to the tooth extraction, socket preservation, and immediate denture on teeth 11 and 21. A metal frame combined with an acrylic denture was designed to support the tooth splint and replace the teeth on the mandible. The patient was treated with 20 mg of sub-antimicrobial-dose doxycycline twice a day for three months, and vitamin E was prescribed once a day. Since dexamethasone may contribute to immune response and osteoclastogenesis, dexamethasone was replaced by cetirizine. Conclusion: The treatment of severe chronic periodontitis must consider immune responses, local conditions, and aesthetical aspects. In this case, the use of dexamethasone might worsen the periodontal breakdown. However, the periodontal treatment, use of host modulation therapy, and replacement of dexamethasone with cetirizine are expected to improve these conditions.

Abstract

Background: The prevention of gingivitis using chemicals containing antibiotics and chlorhexidine can disrupt the balance of the oral microbiota and have side effects in long-term use. A recent development in the prevention of gingivitis is the use of natural ingredients. Coffee is a natural ingredient that compounds several antibacterial and anti-inflammation properties. Purpose: The study aimed to determine the potential of toothpaste containing Robusta coffee bean extract in reducing gingival inflammation and inhibiting the formation of dental plaque. Methods: Twenty male Rattus norvegicus were divided into four groups, namely the control group and treatment groups (TG) TG25%, TG50%, and TG75%. All groups were fitted with ligature wire on the first left molar to accumulate dental plaque. After the fourth day, the ligature wire was removed, and the TG25%, TG50%, and TG75% groups were brushed once a day using toothpaste containing various concentrations of Robusta coffee extract, while the control group was brushed without using toothpaste. Plaque index, gingival index, and interleukin-1 (IL-1) expression were observed on the fifth day. The data was statistically tested using a one-way analysis of variance and post hoc least significant difference. Results: The statistical test showed that the TG75% group had the lowest value of plaque, gingival index, and IL-1 expression, while the control group had the highest (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Robusta coffee bean extract toothpaste has the potential to reduce gingival inflammation and dental plaque formation in a rat with gingivitis. The most effective concentration of Robusta coffee bean extract toothpaste in reducing gingival inflammation and dental plaque formation was 75%.

Abstract

Background: Bone resorption due to tooth extraction leads to unpredictable bone volume for future prosthetics. Crab shells were promoted as a solution to prevent bone resorption, along with an effort to reduce biological waste. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the expression of bone sialoprotein (BSP) and dentine matrix protein-1 (DMP1) in the wound healing process in tooth-extraction sockets after applying a crab shell-derived hydroxyapatite scaffold. Methods: The subjects (28 Cavia cobaya) were divided into control and treatment groups. The control group was left untreated, while the treatment group received a hydroxyapatite scaffold of Portunus pelagicus shell in the tooth socket. The expression of BSP and DMP1 was determined by immunohistochemical staining on days 7 and 14. One-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s honest significance difference test were used to find the groups with the most significant difference. Results: The highest mean expression of BSP and DMP1 was in the day 14 treatment group, while the lowest was in the day 7 control group. Conclusion: Administering hydroxyapatite scaffold derived from the Portunus pelagicus shell to the post-extraction sockets increased the expression of both BSP and DMP1.

Abstract

Background: Beta titanium orthodontic wire is known to have good corrosion resistance but is weak in acidic environments, which advance the corrosion rate. One natural inhibitor that can be used to decrease corrosion is kiwi peel extract, which has a high antioxidant level. Purpose: This study aims to examine the ability of the extract to decrease the corrosion rate and microstructural changes of beta titanium at an acidic pH (pH 5). Methods: The samples used were beta titanium with a diameter of 0.016 x 0.022 in and a length of 6 cm. A total of 28 samples (n=28) were divided into four groups—a control group immersed in pH 5 artificial saliva and three treatment groups immersed in kiwi peel extract at concentrations of 400, 500, and 600 ppm (n=7), respectively. The samples were immersed for seven days at 37oC in an incubator. The corrosion rate was tested using the weight-loss method and microstructure change was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results: One-way ANOVA showed that there are significant differences in corrosion rates between beta titanium immersed in artificial saliva and beta titanium immersed in kiwi peel extract with p=0.01 (p<0.05). SEM analysis results showed that the group with the least surface changes was the one immersed in 400 ppm of kiwi peel extract. Conclusion: Weight-loss and SEM methods show similar results. Kiwi peel extract proved to decrease the corrosion rate and changes in the microstructure of the wire most effectively at a concentration of 400 ppm.

Abstract

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the periodontal tissue that is characterized by alveolar bone resorption. This occurs due to an imbalance of osteoblast and osteoclast during the bone formation and resorption processes. In order to obtain complete regeneration of periodontal tissue, bone grafting is frequently used in periodontal surgical therapy. Although each material has disadvantages, safe graft materials derived from animal sources can be employed as an alternative to bone graft materials. Osteoblast, osteoclast, calcified bone matrix, type I collagen, osteonectin, and hydroxyapatite can all be found in gourami scales, a form of food waste. BMP4 has osteoinduction functions, which are important in bone metabolism. Through angiogenic activity, FGF2 also contributes to periodontal regeneration. Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the expression of BMP4 and FGF2 after the treatment group had been given gourami fish scale extract. Methods: Thirty-two experimental three-month-old male Wistar rats (150-200g) were randomly divided into four groups: a seven-day control group, a seven-day treatment group, a 14-day control group, and a 14-day treatment group. One mandibular incisor was extracted from each Wistar rat. The post-extraction socket was filled with blood for the control group and collagen extract for the treatment. Results: The one-way ANOVA test showed a significance level of 0.000 (p = <0.05). Conclusion: The expression of BMP4 and FGF2 increased after the application of collagen extract from gourami scales.
