Abstract

Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a collection of symptoms that causes pain and disturbs a person's life quality. One of the trigger factors is mechanical overloading. Mechanical overloading in occlusal disharmony conditions will lead to an inflammatory reaction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This condition will induce nuclear factor Kappa Beta (NFkB) activation to transcribe proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP13) and will also degrade condylar cartilage as a major factor in strengthening the TMJ. Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of NFkB and MMP13 in the condylar cartilage of TMJ with occlusal disharmony. Methods: This research was an experimental study with post-test-only control group design. Twenty Rats (Rattus norvegicus) were divided into four groups: One control group without any intervention and three experimental groups. Occlusal-reducing intervention was due on the right molar of the experimental groups, which were divided into the 7th, 14th, and 21st days. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to determine the expression of NFkB and MMP13 in the condylar cartilage. The data were analyzed by using the Welch test and independent t-test. Results: There were significant differences in NFkB and MMP13 expression between the control and experiment experimental groups (p<0.05). NFkB expression increased on the 7th, 14th, and 21st days of observation. The MMP13 expression showed a significant difference between the control and experimental groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Occlusal disharmony increases NFkB and MMP13 expression and could affect TMJ integrity and induce TMD. These findings are important for describing the mechanism of TMJ damage and developing potential alternative therapies to prevent further TMD.

Abstract

Background: Tooth extraction is the process of removing teeth from the alveolus. It will leave a mark on the socket and surrounding soft tissue. One of the cells that plays an important role in the wound healing process after tooth extraction is fibroblasts. When an injury occurs, some blood vessels are damaged; therefore, new blood vessels need to form. Purple leaves extract could be an alternative treatment for wound healing after tooth extraction as it contains flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, steroids, and tannins. Purpose: The study aimed to analyze the role of purple leaves extract on the increase in fibroblasts and blood vessels in the socket after tooth extraction in Wistar rats. Methods: The method used was a laboratory experiment with a post-test-only control group design. The samples used were 24 rats divided into two groups: the control group, which was given aquadest, and the treatment group, which was given 1.5 mL of purple leaves extract with 10% concentration by sondage. Tissue preparations were used to count fibroblasts, and blood vessels were counted and observed on the 3rd, 5th, and 7th days. Results: Statistical tests showed a significant difference in the number of fibroblasts and blood vessels between the control and treatment groups on days 3, 5, and 7. Conclusion: Purple leaves extract could increase the number of fibroblasts and blood vessels in the tooth socket after tooth extraction of Wistar rats.

Abstract

Background: Temporomandibular disorders are clinical disorders involving the muscles of mastication, temporomandibular joints, and related structures. There are several treatments, such as self-help exercises, that can be done at home using remote care, often called telemedicine, after the patient has been directed to do so by a practitioner and evaluated during regular visits. Along with advancement of the times and technology, as well as with the prevention of COVID-19, telemedicine may currently be the main means of self-care for patients at home without losing the supervision of a doctor. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of using telemedicine in the management of temporomandibular disorders. Methods: A systematic literature review was undertaken using literature search methods in electronic databases: PubMed, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. The keywords were “(Telemedicine OR Teledentistry) AND (Temporomandibular disorder) AND (Effect).” The inclusion criteria for selection of the scientific articles were publication from 2012 to 2022, publication in English, and the full paper being available. Results: Seven articles have been included in this review. Based on the results of this systematic study, using telemedicine is considered able to assist the management of temporomandibular disorders by conducting consultation, follow-up, and treatment remotely via telephone, smartphone application, or internet-based or website-based applications. Conclusion: Telemedicine makes it easier for patients who do not have access to a health center to receive consultations and treatments from home, minimizing time and costs.

Abstract

Background: Demineralization of dentin is a condition of dissolving minerals in peritubular dentin due to exposure to acids that release hydroxyapatite ions. To prevent dentin demineralization, a therapeutic agent that can inhibit the dissolution ability of hydroxyapatite ions is needed. One therapeutic agent that can be used is the Mauli banana (MB) stem gel. Purpose: To observe the characteristics of dentin demineralization after the use of MB stem extract gel. Method: Mandibular incisor bovine teeth were demineralized with lactic acid pH 4.5 for 72 hours and then treated with 25%; 37.5%; 50%; and 62.5% MB gel and Chlorhexidine 2% for one minute. All samples were soaked in artificial saliva with 1 mg/ml saliva of collagenase enzyme for 24 hours. The characteristic of dentin demineralization was observed by using scanning electron microscope/electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). Results: The SEM image in the control, Chlorhexidine, 25%; 37.5%; 50%; and 62.5% MB gel groups showed dentinal tubules of about 3.67–4.94 µm; 3.55–4 µm; 4.18–5.6 µm; 2.28–2.86 µm; 3.29–3.81 µm; and 2.42–3.17 µm in size. The EDX test found carbon (C), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), sodium (Na), phosphorous (P), chlorine (Cl), and calcium (Ca) in all groups. The one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test results showed significant differences in the levels of C, N, O, Cl, and Ca between all groups, while the Na showed no significant differences. Conclusion: The MB can inhibit the demineralization of bovine dentin based on the decrease in the size of the dentinal tubules and increasing the C, O, P, and Ca.

Abstract

Background: Electromagnetic fields are forces associated with moving electric charges and have electrical, magnetic components and contain electromagnetic energy, one of which is radio frequency (RF) energy which is commonly used in telecommunications. Cell phones are one of the RF electromagnetic radiation devices that can emit 90-2450 MHz waves and are often placed near the head. The human body works like an electromagnetic field in that each cell has its own electrical circuit characteristics. As the number of electromagnetic radiation devices in the environment increases, the electromagnetic balance in the human body may be disturbed by the magnetic waves produced by cell phones. Electromagnetic radiation is known to have the ability to induce oxidative stress, which is characterized by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tissues. The accumulation of ROS in the body leads to osteoblast cell death. Osteoblasts are needed for mineralization of the extracellular matrix during bone growth. Therefore, bone growth is not optimal and can caused malocclusion. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between electromagnetic radiation and osteocalcin and bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) serum levels. Methods: Experimental laboratory research with a pre- and post-control group design approach was carried out on 12 Rattus norvegicus Wistar strain. Osteocalcin and BALP serum levels were calculated before and after treatment. This study used the t-test as a comparative study (p<0.05). Results: There are significant differences in osteocalcin and BALP values between the treatment groups before and after treatment. Conclusion: Cell phone radiations (electromagnetic field exposure) reduce osteocalcin and BALP serum levels.

Abstract

Background: The wound healing process post-extraction is expected to be quick, which can reduce the risk of complications and restore normal tissue function. A minimum oxygen supply needs to be met so that acceleration of the wound healing process can occur. Wound healing can be accelerated by continuous moderate-intensity exercise with increasing tissue oxygenation. Collagen requires oxygen in the procollagen formation process to support wound healing. Purpose: This study aimed to prove the role of continuous moderate-intensity exercise in increasing collagen density in the dental sockets of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) after tooth extraction. Methods: Four groups of Wistar rats were created: control groups K1 (on day 3) and K2 (on day 7), and treatment groups K3 (on day 3) and K4 (on day 7). K1 and K2 were submerged in a bucket of water, and K3 and K4 received daily moderate-intensity exercise for a duration of two weeks. The rats’ incisors were extracted on the day 15. Post-extraction collagen density was measured on day 3 (K1 and K3) and on day 7 (K2 and K4). The one-way ANOVA test and post-hoc Tukey test were used in the statistical analysis of the data. Results: There was a significant difference between all groups (p: 0.0001; p<0.05). Group K4 had a higher collagen density than the other groups. Conclusion: Continuous moderate-intensity exercise played a role in increasing the density of collagen in the rat tooth socket after tooth extraction.

Abstract

Background: Teledentistry is considered capable of detecting dental caries remotely without direct contact with patients. Deep learning (DL) algorithms are trained with sufficient datasets to find patterns and models based on learning. By using a DL model, we propose a conceptual framework for the screening of dental caries using smartphones: the DentMA application, a new breakthrough in teledentistry technology. In this study, the DentMA teledentistry application was used for mobile screening for caries. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the use of DentMA teledentistry to detect dental caries, enamel-dentin caries, and untreated caries, and to determine treatment needs in children. Methods: The participants of this study were 124 children aged 4–6 years. The study was conducted by having the participants’ mothers take intraoral clinical photos of the participants using the DentMA teledentistry application on their smartphones. For the photo to be taken, each participant was directed to sit upright, with the head looking straight ahead and the mouth open. Results: The results showed that DentMA teledentistry was capable of detecting dental, enamel-dentin, and untreated caries in children, and its ability to predict dental treatment needs was good (p < 0.005). Teledentistry screening using a mobile phone can detect not only caries but also a relationship between the complaints and the medical histories of patients with dental caries. Conclusion: The DentMA teledentistry application can detect dental caries in children according to the individuals’ complaints, including enamel-dentin caries and advanced caries, and can help determine treatment needs.

Abstract

Background: Previous research studies have found the persistence of various COVID-19 symptoms even after the patient tested negative on a PCR test; this incident is now known as long COVID. These long COVID symptoms are reported to appear in the oral cavity including long COVID effects on periodontal disease, as both long COVID and periodontal disease release similar proinflammatory cytokines such as Acute phase proteins, CRP, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, and IFN-g. Purpose: This study aims to show periodontal-disease severity-frequency distribution in COVID-19 survivors with long COVID and in non-COVID-19 patients. Methods: Patients’ secondary data in the Periodontics Clinic Faculty of Dentistry at Trisakti University Dental Hospital (n=40) consisted of 20 samples from COVID-19 survivors who experienced long COVID and 20 samples from the non-COVID-19 group selected according to the inclusion criteria. Afterward, the data was recapitulated and processed into a research report. Results: The distribution percentage of generalized gingivitis was highest in non-COVID-19 patients, while generalized periodontitis was highest in COVID-19 survivors with long COVID. Based on periodontitis staging and grading methods, it is not proven that long COVID increases the severity of the periodontitis. Conclusion: This research shows that the distribution of gingivitis in COVID-19 survivors with long COVID has not increased. Meanwhile, the distribution of general periodontitis increased in survivors with long COVID. However, there was no increased severity of periodontitis based on the staging and grading method of periodontitis in the COVID-19 survivors with long COVID.

Abstract

Background: Nowadays, many patients wanting to bleach and do orthodontic treatment simultaneously, in-office bleaching is more favorable because of the instant results. However, in-office bleaching procedures result in severe enamel surface demineralization and decreasing the attachment of the orthodontic bracket. Applying a desensitizing agent after in-office bleaching can remineralize the enamel surface. There are two types of desensitizing agents: Fluoride-based and non-fluoride-based. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of applying fluoride-based and non-fluoride-based desensitizing agents after in-office bleaching on orthodontic brackets. Methods: Twenty-seven post-extraction upper premolars were divided into three groups (n=9): Control group, fluoride-based group, and non-fluoride-based group. The samples were subjected to an in-office bleaching procedure before a fluoride desensitizing agent was applied to the fluoride group and a non-fluoride desensitizing agent was applied to the non-fluoride group. Then, a brackets bonding procedure was performed on all samples. The samples were tested for shear bond strength (SBS), and the adhesive remnant index (ARI) was measured. The data was analyzed by a one-way analysis of variance on the SBS test, while the ARI scores were analyzed by the Kruskal–Wallis test. Results: The fluoride and non-fluoride groups showed a significantly increased SBS of the brackets after in-office bleaching (P < 0.05), with the fluoride-based desensitizing agent having the highest SBS score, while the ARI scores had an insignificant difference between all groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The application of desensitizing agents after in-office bleaching increased the metal brackets' SBS but could not change the ARI scores.
