Oral Manifestations among Male Smokers in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Indonesia
No full textBackground: Smoking is a risk factor for numerous diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, and lung disease. It also has negative effects in the oral cavity, including an increased incidence of cancer, oral mucosal lesions, periodontal disease, implant failure, dental caries, and dental staining. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between age, duration, and frequency of smoking with clinical manifestations of the oral cavity in smokers in Banjarmasin. Methods: This study utilized an analytical observational approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were gathered from the Dinas Kesehatan Office of Banjarmasin City through anamnesis and clinical oral cavity examination. Fifty-seven participants meeting specific criteria were selected using purposive sampling. Statistical analysis involved the chi-square test to examine the link between age, duration, and frequency of smoking with oral manifestations. The Fisher's exact test was employed if the data did not meet the chi-square test criteria. Results: The highest number of smokers were aged ≤40 years old (52.6%), the duration of smoking was found the most at the duration of >10 years (59.6%), and the frequency of smoking was higher in those who smoked more than 15 cigarettes per day (57.9%). The bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between the duration of smoking and manifestations of a smoker’s palate (p = 0.040). A significant relationship between smoking frequency and manifestations of smoker’s melanosis was shown (p = 0.042). Conclusion: The oral manifestations of male smokers included smoker’s melanosis, smoker’s palate, periodontal disease, and dental staining

The effect of chlorhexidine gluconate mouthrinse on the color stability of different permanent prosthetic resin materials
No full textIntroduction: Color stability is a crucial aspect in the longevity and aesthetics of dental prosthetics. Understanding how different materials respond to common oral hygiene practices, such as chlorhexidine mouthrinse, is essential for informed clinical decision-making. This research aims to provide valuable knowledge about the potential effects of chlorhexidine gluconate on the color stability of prosthetic resin materials, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of their performance in actual oral care prognoses.
Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of mouthrinse on the color stability of two different laboratory-processed resin composite systems, a resin nanoceramic CAD-CAM material and a 3D printed resin material.
Material and Methods: Forty-eight specimens were prepared from two different indirect composite systems (SR Adoro, Ivoclar Vivadent and Tescera ATL, Bisco); a resin nano-ceramic (Lava Ultimate, 3M ESPE) and a 3D printed permanent crown material (Permanent Crown, Formlabs). Surfaces were ground using carbide grinding paper (Grids 600, 800, 1000) followed by a 50µm Al2O3 sandblasting. Then universal polishing paste was applied to the surfaces. The color before and after immersion was measured according to Comission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIED2000) System and ΔL, Δa, Δb, and ΔE values were calculated. All specimens were immersed in the mouthrinse solution for 24h. Changes in colors (ΔE00) was assessed before and after immersion by a digital spectrophotometer (Vita Easyshade, Vita). Data was analyzed with a one-way ANOVA and a Shapiro–Wilk test of normality was performed.
Results: After conducting a one-way ANOVA test, it was found that there were no statistically significant difference between the mean values of ΔE00 in the test groups (p=0.105). The chlorhexidine gluconate mouthrinse did not effect the color change of resin materials manufactured by different methods.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, the color stability of the tested resin materials in the chlorhexidine gluconate mouthrinse was not affected.

The Correlation between Subjective Complaint of Dry Mouth, Unstimulated Salivary Flow Rate, and Oral Mucosal Dryness in Patients with Sjogren’s Syndrome
No full textBackground Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disease that is characterized by the classic symptoms of dry mouth, dry eyes, and arthritis. The most common symptom is called sicca symptoms which consist of keratoconjunctivitis sicca and hyposalivation and xerostomia. Many papers use the term xerostomia and hyposalivation interchangeably. However, these two terms define different conditions. Xerostomia is used to describe the subjective complaint of dry mouth whereas hyposalivation is objectively measured. Objective To examine the correlation between xerostomia, unstimulated salivary flow rate, and oral mucosal dryness in patients with Sjogren’s syndrome. Results Summated xerostomia inventory Indonesian version (SXI-ID_and clinical oral dryness score (CODS) is negatively correlated with unstimulated salivary flow rate. Whereas SXI-ID is positively correlated with CODS. Conclusion Xerostomia is assessed using SXI-ID which is not always followed by hyposalivation. The hyposalivation affects the wettability of oral mucosa, as it negatively correlated with oral mucosa dryness. Further study is needed to investigate the detailed correlation between xerostomia and hyposalivation, and factors affecting them
