The fractured area is mostly the mandibular angle located in the third molar area. Therefore, this study aims to examine the incidence of mandibular angle fractures accompanied by impacted teeth in the oral surgery clinic of Hasan Sadikin Hospital. This is a retrospective observational study and the data used were collected from the medical records of patients with mandibular angle fractures accompanied by impacted third molars at the Oral Surgery Clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung from January 2017 to December 2019. Panoramic radiographs were obtained for confirmation and the data collected were age, gender, fracture aetiology and location, impacted tooth type and classification, as well as treatment. The number of mandibular angle fractures with impacted third molars in male patients (92.8%) was more than in females (7.2%). Fractures caused by traffic accidents and fights were 85.8% and 14.2%, respectively, while all patients were treated with ORIF. The percentage of cases according to the classification of third molars in angle fractures are classes IA (20%), IB (6.7%), IIA (20%), IIB (20%), IIC (13.3%), IIIC (6.7%), and unerupted tooth seeds (13.3%).The incidence of mandibular angle fracture with impacted third molars at the Oral Surgery Clinic, Dr. Hasan Sadikin over the last three years has increased. This case is more common in males due to traffic accidents and is treated with surgery (ORIF).","PeriodicalId":250739,"journal":{"name":"Dentika: Dental Journal","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133330360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The treatment of this malocclusion is a challenging task for clinicians not only for aesthetic achievement but also for the stability of orthodontic treatment. The multidisciplinary approaches depend on the aetiology of malocclusion and patient compliance. This reported case aims to describe the correction of multiple diastemas in adult patients with bad tongue habits. A 27-year-old male patient came to dental hospital Universitas Sumatera seekingrthodontics treatment with multiple spacing as the chief complaint. The comprehensive lateral cephalometry analysis showed class III skeletal malocclusion, concave profile skeletal trend, and abnormal dental inclination. There was also tongue thrusting in speech and swallowing based on functional examination. The initial orthodontic treatment was started by controlling the patient’s bad tongue habit along with orthodontic treatment. After seven-month of orthodontic treatment, this malocclusion was corrected and good interdigitation was achieved. Albeit there were no skeletal significant changes in this orthodontic treatment, the dental inclination showed a significant change based on cephalometry evaluation analysis. The success of the orthodontic treatment in the adult patient is not only dependent on proper mechanotherapy but also relied on the patient’s compliance with tongue habit control. Therefore, early bad oral habit detection as one of the etiologic factors in treating this malocclusion can support the success of orthodontic achievement.","PeriodicalId":250739,"journal":{"name":"Dentika: Dental Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129763099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, labioplasty surgery is the only given treatment, but fabrication of the feeding plate before or after surgery is important to cover the palatal defect. From the prosthodontics aspect, fabrication after surgery cannot be performed because most parents do not know the importance of the feeding plate. To overcome this problem, community service was conducted by fabricating feeding plates that will be given 1 week after surgery. This was achieved by getting information about patients with CLP, general examination by paediatricians, the impression of the oral cavity in the operating room before surgery, outline design, and feeding plate fabrication at the dental laboratory. Subsequently, the insertion was carried out to evaluate whether infants can drink normally using a bottle. A total of 18 infants with CLP recognized the benefits of the feeding plate in Mitra Sejati and Grand Med Hospitals.

However, overexposure to fluoride following excessive fluoride intake from drinking water leads to dental fluorosis. Therefore, the assessment of daily fluoride consumption is required to calculate the optimal fluoride intake. The present study investigated the fluoride concentration in tap water collected from different areas in Thailand. A total of 27 locations were selected. Three samples of tap water (500 mL each) were independently collected from one location. Each sample in the same location was collected from the same faucet of tap water and stored in different containers. The samples were collected by dental students or dentists who worked in the selected areas from March 2020 to June 2020. Briefly, the faucet was cleaned with the tap water and the water was run from the faucet for 1-2 mins. Then, water was collected in 500 mL bottles and immediately capped. Samples were then stored at room temperature in tightly sealed bottles until analysis. Findings showed that most samples contained fluoride at a concentration lower than 0.7 mg/mL. Further, the water pH was in the range of 6.81-8.37. These levels were lower than the cut-offs established by the World Health Organization (WHO) for maximum levels of fluoride and pH in drinking water. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that fluoride levels in tap water from different regions in Thailand are lower than those recommended by WHO for fluoride levels in drinking water.

Common incisional closure complications in oral and maxillofacial surgery include postoperative wound infection, dehiscence, formation of hematomas, and skin flap necrosis, which lead to delayed healing of the incision. The data relating to the incidence of post-mandible resection SWI in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung Hospital are not yet known. Therefore, the objective of this research was to assess the incidence of SWI in ameloblastoma patients after mandible resection treatment.
