This type of research is descriptive analytic with cross sectional approach. The study population was dentists who practised actively in Medan and performed fixed orthodontic treatment or braces. The sample size was 30 people with purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires. Data analysis used Spearman's Correlation test and multiple linear regression. The results showed that the mean of the type of braces, practice location, and type of malocclusion were 3.17 ± 0.950; 3.77 ± 0.504; and 9.13 ± 1.383, while the rate of braces had a mean of 1.37 ± 0.490. Spearman;s correlation statistical test can be stated that there is an influence of the type of brace (p=0.002; p≤0.05), practice location (p=0.039; p≤0.05), and type of malocclusion (p=0.005; p≤0.05) on the determination of significant dental practice brace tariffs in Medan Petisah District. The type of brace had a strong degree of influence, while the location of the practice and the type of malocclusion showed a moderate degree of influence. The type of brace is the most dominant factor in influencing the determination of tariffs. The conclusion of this study is that the better the type of brace, the more expensive the fitting rate

Diabetes Mellitus in the eyes of Cataract Patients Undergoing Phacoemulsification
No full textCataract lenses are removed from inside the eye through the use of ultrasonic energy and an irrigation/aspiration process, which is then followed by intraocular lens implantation (IOL). The ultrasonic energy used to shave cataracts is currently so concentrated on the cataract itself, but it is still possible that this energy has a different effect on the eye tissue during the phacoemulsification process. Phacoemulsification in diabetic patients is quite challenging. We need to pay attention to these combined diseases and their consequences in order to preserve the delicate tissues and structures of the eye and ensure its function until the future

A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON THE FEATURE OF VOCABULARY IN “GROW WITH ENGLISH HANDBOOK”
No full textThis investigation seeks to identify and scrutinize the typologies of vocabulary exercises incorporated within the "Grow with English" textbook designed for Grade 4 students. Vocabulary acquisition is fundamentally crucial to language learning, particularly at the elementary level where learners are establishing foundational linguistic competence. This textbook, extensively utilized in Indonesian primary education, is structured to support English acquisition through diverse and engaging pedagogical activities. Employing a content analysis methodology, this research systematically examines the vocabulary tasks presented in each unit of the Grade 4 textbook. The exercises were subsequently categorized according to established activity formats, such as picture-word matching, multiple-choice questions, cloze (fill-in-the-blank) tasks, crossword puzzles, and word searches. The findings reveal a predominance of matching and fill-in-the-blank activities, which are specifically aimed at developing both lexical recognition and contextual comprehension. While more interactive formats, including crossword puzzles and word searches, are also incorporated, their frequency of appearance is comparatively lower. The diversity of exercise types suggests the textbook endeavors to provide a balanced and stimulating approach to vocabulary development. This study is anticipated to contribute to the evaluation and refinement of English instructional materials, particularly concerning the selection of effective vocabulary pedagogy for primary learners. Furthermore, the results may serve as a valuable reference for educators in designing or supplementing classroom vocabulary interventions tailored to student requirements.
