Early Loss of Primary Molars and Changes in Body Mass Index in Students Aged 7–9 Years
No full textIntroduction: The early loss of primary teeth denotes the loss of teeth in the oral cavity before the typical loss timeframe. The early loss of primary molars markedly impacts masticatory function. Children of elementary school age frequently encounter dental and oral health issues. This study aims to determine the correlation between the premature loss of primary molar teeth and variations in body mass index (BMI) among 7-9-year-old students at Public Elementary School (SDN) 003 Sungai Kunjang.
Material and Methods: This study employed an analytical approach with a prospective cohort design. The demographic comprises students aged 7 to 9 years at SDN 003 Sungai Kunjang, Samarinda City, with 233 respondents. Sampling was conducted via a non-probability purposive sampling method. This study utilized oral diagnostic instruments, manual scales, stadiometers, stationery, identity questions, and examination forms.
Results and Discussions: Bivariate data analysis employing the chi-square test on the early loss of primary molars and alterations in student BMI indicated that respondents with early loss of primary molars were 8.824 times more likely to exhibit a reduction in BMI than those without early loss of primary molars.
Conclusion: The study finds that a correlation exists between the early loss of primary molars and alterations in BMI among 7-9-year-old students at SDN 003 Sungai Kunjan
Management Of Ellis Class II Fracture Of Maxillary Anterior Tooth With Composite Resin Restoration
No full textIntroduction: Traumatic dental injury is a common dental health problem in society. Recovery from an anterior tooth fracture requires restoration that matches the appropriate color, anatomical shape, translucency, and alignment with the adjacent teeth in the arch. The restored tooth must adapt both aesthetically and functionally.
Case: A 17-year-old female patient presented to the Udayana University Dental and Oral Hospital with a complaint of a broken front tooth. The tooth had been fractured approximately three years ago due to a collision. Clinical examination revealed crown fractures of teeth 11, 12, and 21. Vitality tests were positive, while percussion and mobility tests were negative.
Case Treatment: Restoration was performed using A2 shade composite resin applied with an incremental technique. Finishing and polishing were carried out using a round-ended tapered fine finishing bur, Sof-Lex discs, and polishing strips for the proximal surfaces.
Discussion: Crown fractures of anterior teeth are the most common type of trauma to permanent teeth, and they can result in aesthetic, psychological, social, and functional issues. Composite resin restorations are an appropriate treatment choice for such fractures due to their advantages, which include excellent esthetic outcomes, favorable physical and mechanical properties, and biocompatibility.
Conclusion and Suggestions: Thorough examination and accurate diagnosis are essential for selecting the most appropriate treatment. Proper composite resin application techniques are crucial for the success of the restoration. Consequently, composite resin restorations can adapt well within the oral cavity, effectively restoring aesthetics, speech, and physiological function
Differences in The Effects Of 15% Moringa Leaf (Moringa oleifera) Extract Gel and 70% Kecemcem (Spondias pinnata) Tree Bark Extract Gel on The Number of Gingiva Fibroblasts In Wistar Rats Postcurettage With Periodontitis Conditions
No full textIntroduction: Periodontitis is a prevalent global oral disease leading to increased dental tourism, including to Indonesia. One treatment for periodontitis is gingival curettage with adjuvant therapy to speed up wound healing. Studies suggest that moringa leaf extract and kecemcem tree bark contain active compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This study compares the effects of 15% moringa leaf extract gel and 70% kecemcem tree bark extract gel on the number of gingival fibroblasts in Wistar rats after curettage under periodontitis conditions.
Material and Methods: Wistar rats were divided into four groups: positive control (hyaluronic acid), negative control (CMC-Na), 15% moringa leaf treatment, and 70% kecemcem tree bark treatment. Periodontitis was induced by tying a silk thread to the mandibular side, followed by curettage with a Sub-Zero (Osung) curette. The rats were euthanized on days 3, 5, and 7. Histological preparations were made, and fibroblast counts were taken from three fields of view using a light microscope at 400x magnification.
Results and Discussion: The average number of fibroblasts in the kecemcem tree bark treatment group was higher than in the moringa leaf treatment group. The Least Significant Difference Post Hoc test showed a significant difference (p < 0.05). Flavonoids, phenols, and β-sitosterol in kecemcem tree bark were more effective in increasing fibroblast numbers compared to moringa leaf extract, as indicated by the higher average fibroblast count.
Conclusion: 70% kecemcem tree bark extract gel had a more significant effect than 15% moringa leaf extract gel in increasing gingival fibroblasts in Wistar rats after curettage with periodontitis
The Relationship Between Halitosis and Anxiety in Medical Students Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Katolik Atma Jaya
No full textIntroduction: Halitosis is a common occurrence among people. Halitosis can be classified as genuine halitosis, where the sufferer genuinely has bad breath that can be smelled by people around them, or as delusional halitosis, where the sufferer believes that they have bad breath but it cannot be smelled by people around them. Halitosis can become a significant problem, especially when the sufferer is socializing with others, due to the anxiety that their bad breath might disturb their conversation partners. This condition can lead to poor communication skills and actions of isolation or withdrawal from others.
Material & methods: This study seeks to explore the perceptions and knowledge of medical students at Universitas Katolik Atma Jaya about halitosis, as well as its impact on their anxiety levels. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the research involved 150 students from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, class of 2020–2022. Halitosis, as the independent variable, was assessed using the Halitosis Consequences Inventory (ICH), while anxiety, the dependent variable, was measured through the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42). Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient test.
Results: Results of the research are 34.7% of Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Katolik Atma Jaya’s students from the class 2020-2022 experience halitosis, while 65.3% experience anxiety. 76.9% of students with halitosis also experience anxiety. The results of the Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient test indicate a weak positive correlation (rs = 0.321) that is statistically significant (p = 0.000) between halitosis and anxiety. In other words, there is a tendency that an increase in halitosis will affect the increase in anxiety levels.
Conclusion Relation between halitosis and anxiety is a synergy (positive correlation). Halitosis has a moderate positive influence on anxiety among the students of the Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Katolik Atma Jaya, class of 2020. This indicates that students experiencing halitosis are concerned about their bad breath, which affects their social communication. Therefore, the approach to treating halitosis should include both physical treatment (halitosis) and mental health care

Maxillofacial Injuries Due to Firearms (Ballistics)
Get PDFIntroduction: Maxillofacial injuries caused by firearms can vary in severity and tissue damage, with the severity determined by the characteristics and nature of the bullet and the anatomical structures involved. The extent of tissue damage is also influenced by the distance from the shot. Injuries from low-velocity firearms result in less extensive damage compared to those caused by high-velocity firearms, where tissue damage may involve extensive hard and soft tissues, marked by a zone surrounding the damaged tissue vulnerable to progressive necrosis due to disrupted blood supply and wound sepsis.
Review: For a physician, basic knowledge about firearms, ammunition composition, and the mechanism of firearm discharge is essential for proper understanding and interpretation of the resultant injuries or trauma. Firearms can be grouped based on barrel length, such as short-barreled firearms like revolvers and pistols, and long-barreled firearms like shotguns and rifles. Firearms can also be categorized based on their rifling, with rifled and non-rifled barrel firearms. Furthermore, firearms can be classified based on their bullet velocity, categorized as low-velocity firearms and high-velocity firearms.
Conclusion: Maxillofacial injuries can vary in severity and tissue damage caused by firearms. Injuries caused by high-velocity firearms exhibit a greater degree of severity and tissue damage compared to those caused by low-velocity firearms. Infection prevention should involve early administration of penicillin antibiotics and early wound control by sealing the mucosa with waterproof materials
