Forensic odontology becomes exceptionally crucial when visual/facial identification and fingerprinting fail, such as in disasters or decomposed remains. By leveraging the expertise of dentists, forensic odontology makes a valuable contribution to the legal system. High-quality dental records are paramount for human identification. Forensic dentistry provides scientific data for legal proceedings. The robust structure of teeth and resilient restorative materials are pivotal in the identification process. Prosthodontics, especially for denture wearers, plays a significant role, with equipment like denture labeling gaining popularity. Specialization in prosthodontics is vital for understanding dental materials, labeling techniques, palatal rugae patterns, bite marks, and lip prints. Application of effective methods in forensic odontology is of paramount importance in identifying individuals. Remarkably, prosthetics in the field of forensic dentistry remains relatively unexplored and often overlooked, even in Indonesia, despite its significant potential in the realm of forensics. In conclusion, forensic identification using prosthodontic tools such as labeling or marking on dentures can provide crucial identification clues. Dental marking techniques namely surface modification techniques and inclusion techniques, have their respective advantages and disadvantages.

Odontologi forensik menjadi sangat penting ketika identifikasi visual/wajah dan sidik jari gagal, seperti pada bencana atau jenazah yang terurai. Dengan memanfaatkan keahlian dokter gigi, odontologi forensik memberikan kontribusi pada sistem hukum. Catatan gigi berkualitas tinggi sangat penting untuk identifikasi manusia. Odontologi forensik menyediakan data ilmiah untuk proses hukum. Struktur gigi yang kuat dan bahan restoratif yang tahan terhadap kerusakan menjadi kunci dalam identifikasi. Prostodonti, khususnya bagi pemakai gigi palsu, memainkan peran yang signifikan, dengan peralatan seperti label gigi palsu semakin populer. Spesialisasi dalam bidang prostodontik sangat penting dalam memahami bahan gigi, teknik penandaan, pola rugae palatal, bekas gigitan, dan bekas bibir. Menerapkan metode-metode yang efektif dalam odontologi forensik sangat penting untuk mengidentifikasi individu.

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between tooth brushing behavior and dental caries in children at 27 Sungai Sapih Kuranji Public Elementary School, Padang City. This was a quantitative study with an analytical and observational approach. Population were all students in grades 4 and 5, totaling 114 students obtained with total sampling technique.

The filling that has been applied will always be in contact with saliva in the oral cavity. This study aimed to determine the effect of salivary pH variations on the hardness of bulk-fill composite resin. This was an experimental study with a post-test only with a control group design. Samples consisted of 28 bulk-fill composite resin samples with 8 mm diameter and 4 mm thickness. Samples were divided into four groups, as follows: group I, soaked in saliva with a pH of 5.3; group II, soaked in saliva with a pH of 6.6; group III, soaked in saliva with a pH of 7.8; and a control group, not treated. The hardness of the samples was measured using Vickers hardness tester. Data were analyzed using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test. The results showed that the mean and standard deviation (SD) hardness values of the bulk-fill composite resin in the control group, groups I, II and II were 63.933 ±4.721 VHN, 63.233±3.518 VHN, 64.683±7.600 VHN, and 69.267±12.545 VHN respectively. These results indicated that there was a decrease in hardness in group I and an increase in hardness in groups II and III.

Children and infants are highly more susceptible to Candida infection than adults. We report an oral candidiasis case in a 5-year-old girl with white spots on her lips and tongue. When the white spots were scrapped off, they would be detached leaving red patches on the mucosal surfaces. The patient had pacifier sucking habit and tended to place the pacifier everywhere carelessly. Previously, the patient was treated at a primary healthcare center and received nystatin therapy. However, there was no improvement at all after the therapy. Based on her current and historical conditions, the patient was diagnosed as oral candidiasis, and in this case nystatin administration was ineffective. Therefore, the patient required better oral hygiene management, and the medication given was a gargle containing 0.1% hyaluronic acid.
