Maxillofacial trauma is related to human activity or mobility, so traffic accidents are the highest cause. During the Covid-19 pandemic, human activity was mostly at home with movement restrictions. This paper aims to describe the types of characteristics and management of oromaxillofacial traumas during covid-19 pandemic at the emergency room RSUP Dr.Hasan Sadikin Bandung Hospital.Methods:  A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate every maxillofacial trauma in patients treated by the oral surgeon in the emergency room at RSUP Dr.Hasan Sadikin Bandung Hospital. Maxillofacial trauma incidence records were taken directly from case reports department of oral and maxillofacial surgery emergency room patients from January 2020-December 2021. The variables considered were: patient age, gender, etiologies, sites, classifications, and management of the trauma. All the information found is then integrated into a table to be analyzed epidemiologically. Result: 177 maxillofacial trauma patients were registered in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery report. It was found that the gender ratio, female to male, is equal to 2.3: 7.6. The 18-36 age group accounted for the largest subgroup in both sexes. Motorcycle accidents accounted for as much as 80.22% of the etiology of the most common traumas. While dentoalveolar (28.22%) was the most common site of the fracture, followed by the mandible (23.31%). Injuries around the mouth make up the most portion (62.15%) regarding the area that is directly impacted by the injuries, followed by injuries to the face (18.64%) and injuries to the mouth and nose combined (6.21%). Among the 177 patients mentioned above, 10.17% were hospitalized.Conclusion: It can be concluded from this cross-sectional study that traffic accidents, mainly motorcycle crashes, are the primary cause of traumas, with males being more prone to accidents. Meanwhile, the dentoalveolar fracture was the most common site of fracture. For this reason, we might be better prepared with all the resources necessary to diagnose and treat patients with oromaxillofacial traumas in the future.","PeriodicalId":31757,"journal":{"name":"Padjadjaran Journal of Dentistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47654847","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}

In particular, the oral cavity is a remarkable environment in which wound healing occurs in warm oral fluid that contains millions of microorganisms. Collagen plays an important role in all phases of wound healing, which provides integrity and strength to tissues and it is very important especially in the proliferation and remodeling phases. One of the materials that have potential related to collagen is broccoli (Brassica oleracea var.italica). Broccoli has a potential to regulate collagen, therefore it could be an alternative to answer the problem related to antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects. The aim of this research with experimental design is to study the potential effects of broccoli extract on the representation of collagen image in wounds.Methods: This research used 18 male wistar rats by making incision on each of the rats’ back. These rats are divided into two groups, control group which get no treatment, and treatment group which is treated by applying the broccoli extract topically twice a day. Wound tissues on each group are observed microscopically on 3th, 7th, and 14th day. The density of collagen fibers was measured based on the calculation of semiquantitative score. Result: The result showed that wound healing on treatment group tends to be better compared with control group with the increase of collagen score of treatment group. The result of Statistical test Man-Whitney with confidence level 95% (p < 0,05) with observation on 3th, 7th, and 14th day sequentally is  p=0.100, p=0,100, p=0,700.

S. aureus infection can spread to the periapical tissues causing periapical lesions. Pulp necrosis requires root canal treatment. One of the irrigants used in root canal treatment is 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid  (17% EDTA). This material can soften the root canal dentine making it easier to prepare because it can dissolve the inorganic material of smear layer. The disadvantage of 17% EDTA is low antibacterial power, so an alternative irrigation material is needed. Irrigants should ideally be antibacterial. The green okra fruit extract contains antibacterial properties such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids. This study aims to determine the antibacterial ability of green okra fruit extract concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100% against S. aureus.
