The miswak, a traditional chewing stick for cleaning teeth, is made from the plant Salvadora persica. It contains a wide range of healthy components in maintaining good oral hygiene. The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of whitening toothpaste containing Salvadora persica extract at removing tea and chlorhexidine stain by comparing with one of commercially available whitening toothpaste and drinking water as a control group. A randomized experimental study was done. The standard method cycled clear acrylic specimens through artificial saliva, 0.2% chlorhexidine and tea on the hour 8 times per day and stain were measured using a spectrophotometer to achieve baseline reading. Test interventions were 2 whitening kinds of toothpaste; whitening toothpaste containing Salvadora persica extract (group A), commercial whitening toothpaste (group B) and drinking water as a control group (group C). Treatment interventions were done at 09:00 and 16:00 by exposing the specimens to slurries of each treatment for 2 minutes. The specimens remained in the artificial saliva between each cycles day and night. At the end of the day, the stain was assessed by spectrophotometer and Lobene Stain Index. The comparison of total stain removal assessed by spectrophotometer on day 5 between all groups was significant (p=0.007). The median of total stain removal and visual assessment recording using Lobene stain index showed Salvadora persica whitening toothpaste scored more reduction of staining followed by commercial whitening toothpaste and then control group. As a conclusion, the whitening toothpaste containing Salvadora persica is more effective at removing tea and chlorhexidine stain.

Oromaxilofacial fracture will have associated with head injury due to its adjacent location and structure. The oromaxillofacial structure is considered to be as force silencer for trauma so that it can protect the intracranial structures. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is a specific enzyme within neuron cells and can be detected rapidly in serum. The objective of the study was to investigate the increased serum NSE level in adult patients with oromaxillofacial fracture with mild head injury; and to investigate the correlation between serum NSE level and the location of oromaxillofacial fracture (upper, middle, lower regions, or the combinations) in adult patients with mild head injury. This study used the analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design, that conducted in Department of Neurosurgery, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Laboratory of Clinical Pathology, Dr Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, from August to October 2008. The serum NSE level examination was undertaken by blood sample taking then examined with electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). The data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney test to seek the increased serum NSE level; using Kruskal-Wallis to seek the mean of increased serum NSE levels by location of oromaxillofacial fracture; and using Spearman ranked correlation test to seek the correlation between the increased serum NSE levels and location of oromaxillofacial fracture in adult patients with mild head injury. The study results indicated that there was an increased serum NSE level in adult patients with oromaxillofacial fracture with mild head injury by 13.12 ng/mL compared to adult healthy group by 7.72 ng/mL (p<0.001). By upper, middle, and lower regions of oromaxillofacial fracture, the serum NSE level of oromaxillofacial fracture at combined upper-middle-lower region was significantly the highest, i.e., 21.14 ng/mL (p=0.049). A positive correlation between the increased serum NSE level and location of oromaxillofacial fracture caused by mild head injury existed (rs=0.33, p=0.020). In conclusion, there was an increased serum NSE level in adult patients with oromaxillofacial fracture with mild head injury; and there was also a positive correlation between the increased serum NSE level and location of oromaxillofacial fracture due to mild head injury.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a genetic material which is found in all living organisms. On the human cell or eukaryotes cell, the DNA is found in the nucleus cell and the mitochondria. The DNA arrangement on each cell in human body is the same, that is why, for the analysis meaning, DNA can be isolated from any cell in the body. The source of DNA to be analyzed usually coming from the blood sample by an injection method, such a way resulting in pain and bringing about constraint. Therefore, a study was carried out to look for an alternative of DNA isolation. The aim of this experimental study was to get an optimal DNA isolation method by using oral mucous smear method with a purpose to get a quick and easy DNA isolation. The investigation materials were in the form of samples which were taken from the oral epithelial mucous cells out of three different subjects. The epithelial cells were obtained by the oral mucous smear method which in a variation of two, four and six times of smear applications, respectively. The DNA was then isolated using buffer extraction method. The concentrations of DNA were measured by using ultraviolet spectrophotometer at 260 nm wavelength. The results of DNA isolation were analyzed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. The optimal DNA isolation could be analyzed by PCR technique. The experimental results show that from three different subjects of study, DNA can be isolated optimally by oral mucous smear method with six times of smear applications.

Human tongue base cancers are characterized by a high degree of local invasion and metastasis to the regional lymph nodes and included a disease with difficult treatment. A novel method for high-efficiency and region-controlled in vivo gene transfer was developed by combining electro-gene therapy and plasmid (pcDNA). The aims of the study were to examine the efficiency of transfection of p27Kip1 gene by electro-gene therapy and to evaluate p27Kip1 gene therapy in Supri’s clone-3 (SP-C3) xenografts using pcDNA3.1-p27Kip1 wild-type (wt) and pcDNA3.1 empty vector (neo) with electro-gene therapy. To investigate gene transfer method, the enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) gene was transfected into xenografts by electro-gene therapy. The efficiency of p27Kip1 gene transfection at protein level was confirmed by Western blotting. To estimate the reduction in tumour size in Wistar Balb/c mice after electro-gene therapy with p27Kip1 wt gene was examined by tumorigenesis assay. To evaluate the induction of apoptosis was carried out by colourimetric assay. The result, the growth of tumours was markedly suppressed by p27Kip1 wt gene transfection. Up-regulation of p27Kip1 protein was detected in pcDNA3.1-p27Kip1 wt. Apoptosis induction through the activity of caspase -3 and -9 was significantly increased in p27Kip1 wt-transfected tumours. These results suggest that it is possible to transfer p27Kip1 wt into tongue base cancer cell xenografts using electro-gene therapy. p27Kip1 wt had a high-potential to suppress the growth of tumours. Conclusion, electro-gene therapy followed by intratumoral injection of pcDNA3.1-p27Kip1 wt had a high-potential to suppress the growth of a human tongue base cancer cell xenograft.

A relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been reported in several studies. This association was explained based on the chronic systemic inflammatory response which may lead to arterial stiffness in chronic periodontitis (CP). To compare arterial stiffness as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) between patients with localized severe CP (LSCP) and generalized severe CP (GSCP). Five patients with LSCP and 12 patients with GSCP were recruited in a cross-sectional study. Subjects were excluded if they had systemic diseases other than CP. Diagnosis of LSCP and GSCP was made based on probing depth and radiographic bone loss. Carotid-femoral PWV was measured using the Complior® machine. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Carotid-femoral PWV was higher among patients with GSCP as compared to those with LSCP although the difference did not reach a significant level. Median (interquartile range) PWV was 7.5 (1.50) and 7.0 (1.03) m/sec respectively in patients with GSCP and LSCP (p = 0.224). Among patients with CP, aorta is stiffer in GSCP than in LSCP

Color stability is one of the denture base material requirement. Nowadays, nylon thermoplastic resin and heat-cured acrylic resin which is used as denture base materials can be changed in colour. One of a colour-changed factor is the tea drinking habit. The objective of this research was to compare the colour stability between nylon thermoplastic resin and heat-cured acrylic resin after soaked in tea. Materials used for the research were nylon thermoplastic resin from Valplast and heat-cured acrylic resin QC-20, with a sample size of 64x(10±0.03)x(2.5±0.03)mm. The sample would be assessed of colour stability after the denture base soaked in tea for 7 days. The colour measurement of each sample was done by spectrophotometer equipment (CIE lab system). Data gathered later on statistically processed with ANOVA testing. The result showed that the comparison ratio of colour stability between nylon thermoplastic resin and heat-cured acrylic resin after soaked in tea was 1.9886:1.1152. The conclusion was that colour stability in the nylon thermoplastic resin was lower than heat-cured acrylic resin after soaked in tea. This result was due to a polymer chain of nylon thermoplastic which was lower than heat-cured acrylic resin and its porosity which was higher, so tea easily soaked into the materials.

Today, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is one of the most commonly-used materials to overcome problems in dental pulp as well as periodontal tissue. This substance received its permission from the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998 and has been patented as a Portland type I.ASTM C150 cement-base material. However, MTA still has its flaws, such as: its granule form, requirement for moist condition, mass losing during hydration (high solubility), and particularly its time-consuming setting duration (45’-165’). Some researches attempt the usage of regular accelerator together with Portland cement, yet there’s still no certainty of the best concentration that can be used to gain optimal result. This research conducted a time test of the initial setting of MTA that was mixed with the strong-oxidation antimicrobial solutions, they are NaOCl 2.5% dan H2O2 3%. The instrument used was the Gillmore needle. Data analysis used one-way ANOVA and Mann Whitney significance test (p<0,05). The result of the research showed that the mixing of NaOCl 2.5% with MTA the initial setting was ± 11 minutes and the mixing of NaOCl 2.5% with MTA the initial setting was ± 5 minute, it compared with the initial setting of original MTA which was the initial setting ± 50 minutes.

The surface hardness level of a denture base material is related to the resistance to abrasion, scratch, polishing and water sorption. Nowadays, thermoplastic nylon resins and heat-cured acrylic resins are used as denture base materials. Denture base must be immersed in water to maintain its humidity. The objective of this research was to compare the surface hardness level between thermoplastic nylon resins and heat-cured acrylic resins. Materials used for the research were thermoplastic nylon resins from Valplast and heat-cured acrylic resins QC-20, with a sample size of 64x(10±0.03)x(2.5±0.03) mm. Surface hardness is measured with Vickers Microhardness Tester and the data were analyzed by ANOVA method. The results showed that comparison ratio of surface hardness level between thermoplastic nylon resins and heat-cured acrylic resins before immersion is 3.2:7.3 VHN respectively, while the comparison value of both resins after immersion is 2.8:6.6 VHN. In conclusion, the surface hardness level of thermoplastic nylon resins is lower compared to heat-cured acrylic resins. This result is due to thermoplastic nylon resin’s higher porosity, its different polymer chains, and the plasticizers effect after immersion in water.

Lichen planus is a common oral disorder which may represent the manifestation of varies clinical presentation and microscopic findings. In this retrospective study of 86, cases of oral lichen planus (OLP) were compared with 73 cases of oral lichenoid lesions (OLL). Various clinicohistopathological features were studied. The object of this study was to compare clinical and microscopic findings in order to present evidence that supports the position of true lichen planus. Biopsy specimens were obtained from every patient. The biopsy specimens were fixed in 10 percent formalin, embedded in paraffin, sectioned at 4 microns and stained by means of routine hemotoxylin and eosin procedures. The histologic specimens were examined and evaluated without knowledge of clinical findings. The mean age at presentation of patients with OLP was 42.5 years as compared to 47.0 years for OLL. There was no significant difference between the ethnic groups, site of lesions and the distribution of the clinical presentation. Compare to histopathologic findings, there were only 55% clinical and histological agreement in this study, this because of using strict criteria for oral lichen planus there could be an over diagnosis lesions. This study showed that there were no reliable clinical and histopathological features which could differentiate OLL from OLP. The features in the OLL group were non specific. The patient’s medical history, oral habits or psychological status appeared to be able to alter the classical clinicopathological findings.
