Methods: The type of study is an observational analytic cross-sectional study. The study sample comprised 70 radiographs (35 males and 35 females) aged 19-60 years with complete mandibular permanent dentition, including third molars.

Some textbooks claim that the prevalence of radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis in HNC patients occurs at almost 100%. Various risk factors associated with oral mucositis have been studied, giving significantly different results.

Stunting is a condition where height is not following age. Physical growth is often used as an indicator to measure nutritional status. Permanent first molars are the first to erupt and normally erupt at 6-7 years old. Nutrition plays an important role in the growth and development of children. Since nutrition is one of the factors that influence tooth eruption, this study aimed to analyse the correlation between stunting children aged 6-7 years in terms of nutritional status and the eruption of the permanent first molar. Methods: This research used observational analytic correlation with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling was done using the cluster random sampling method to select elementary schools and total sampling to select children. The research was conducted at three elementary schools in the Jatinangor region. The number of samples was 200 children. The samples were measured for height and examination of the eruption status of permanent first molars. Result: It was found that 42 children were stunted. 12 children had not erupted their permanent first molars at all. There were 36% stunted children aged 6 years and 64% children aged 7 years. The results of the analysis using the Spearman rank correlation test obtained a correlation coefficient with r=0.185 and p-value=0.242 which showed the very weak strength and positive direction of the correlation.

Methods: This research was a prospective cross-sectional study on 60 research subjects at the Emergency Unit of Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, between July 2019 - February 2020. The data were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney test to see the severity of mandibular trauma using a half face helmet and without a helmet based on MISS (Mandible Injury Severity Score).

One of the management of tumors in the mandible is resection. The resection will result in a discontinuity in the jaw and disruption of the stomatognathic system, one of which is a decrease in the motoric function of the masticatory muscles. Electroneuromyography (ENMG) is a type of examination that includes an electroneurography (ENG) examination, which includes a Neural Conduction Study (NCS) based on stimulation value (STIM) and velocity (VEL), and electromyography (EMG) which can be used to assess motoric function impairment of masticatory and facial muscles in patients undergoing mandibular resection. This study analyzed the differences in the motoric function of masticatory and facial muscles post-segmental mandibulectomy and hemimandibulectomy. Methods: This preliminary analytical cross-sectional study compares ten post-segmental mandibulectomy or hemimandibulectomy patients who had undergone mandibular reconstruction in the Oral Surgery Department of Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung. Assessment was performed using an AO plate (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesisfragen) towards the patients. The results were compared using Chi-Square and Mann-Whitney statistical analysis.

Herbal plants extract such as green tea, bay leaf, and lime peel are potentially active agents for extrinsic stain removal. This study aimed to analyse the effectiveness of green tea, bay leaf, and lime peel extracts as toothpaste active agents for extrinsic stain removal on teeth, artificial teeth, and denture base. Methods: Twenty-five post-extracted human permanent central incisors, 25 artificial teeth, and 25 heat polymerised acrylic resin denture base (20x20x10mm) were divided into three treatment groups and two control groups. Pictures of all specimens were taken before and after stain induction and after brushing. All specimens were immersed in a tea solution made from 2 grams of tea and 100ml of 100°C boiled water to induce extrinsic stain. The immersion process was repeated every 24 hours for seven days. All specimens were then brushed using an automatic toothbrushing machine for 70 seconds on each surface, 200 grams loads, and five speeds/second. Toothpaste used for brushing were three different active agent toothpaste (treatment groups), no active agent toothpaste, and commercial whitening (control groups). Colour index analysis of the specimen pictures computerised by CIELAB method. The data were analysed by one-way ANOVA (α=0.05). Results: Green tea, bay leaf, and lime peel extract toothpaste and positive control had higher L-values of extrinsic stain removal than essential toothpaste on all specimens. There was a significant difference between green tea, bay leaf, and lime peel extract toothpaste and negative control toothpaste (p<0.05), while no significant difference was found when compared to the positive control toothpaste (p>0.05). Conclusion: Green tea, bay leaf, and lime peel extract toothpaste are effective as extrinsic stain removal on teeth and acrylic resin denture base because of abrasive materials that work together with the active agents such as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in green tea, eugenol in bay leaf, and naringin in lime peel.","PeriodicalId":31757,"journal":{"name":"Padjadjaran Journal of Dentistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46171337","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}

These bacteria can be eliminated with chlorophenol camphor menthol (ChKM) solution and triple-antibiotic paste (TAP) as an intracanal medicament. This study compared the effectiveness of ChKM solution to triple-antibiotic paste as an intracanal medicament for bacteria that cause a chronic periapical abscess. Methods: An experimental laboratory was conducted in-vitro with the microdilution method and optical density measurement using a spectrophotometer. The cell inhibition percentage was calculated to determine the MIC value. The MBC values were confirmed by cultivating the Mueller Hinton Agar samples, incubating them at 37°C for 24 hours, and observing bacterial growth. Bacteria did not grow in the medium at MBC value. The lower MIC and MBC were sensitive and could be an effective medicament choice. Results: The MIC ChKM solution inhibits E. faecalis ATCC 29212, S. mutans ATCC 25175, S. sanguinis ATCC 10556, and P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 were 4000, 4000, 2000, and 2000 µg/mL consecutively. While MIC of TAP were 6, 0.375, 0.75, and 1.5 µg/mL, respectively. Moreover, MBC of the ChKM solution were 32000, 32000, 8000, 8000 µg/mL and MBC of the TAP were 768, 24, 24, 96 µg/mL. Conclusions: ChKM solution and TAP effectively inhibited and killed E. faecalis, S. mutans, S. sanguinis, and P. gingivalis as an intracanal medicament, as seen from the MIC and MBC values. However, TAP is more effective than the ChKM solution because MIC and MBC values of TAP are much lower than the ChKM solution. This finding indicated that TAP is more effective at the lowest concentration than ChKM solution. It should be highlighted that this was an in-vitro study involving specific microbes; thus, further clinical research is needed.","PeriodicalId":31757,"journal":{"name":"Padjadjaran Journal of Dentistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47955410","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}
