CURRENT TREND IN RESEARCH ABOUT INVISALIGN® SUCCESS OUTCOME: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW USING PRISMA GUIDELINE
Get PDFABSTRACTBackground: While some researches have claimed that Invisalign® is successful in creating meaningful tooth movement, there is still no comprehensive literature review that summarizes them using one valid and reliable parameter. American Board of Orthodontics-Model Grading System (ABO-MGS) is an objective measurement for the success of orthodontic treatment. This systematic review is determined to provide scientific pieces of evidence to prove the truth of the claim using ABO-MGS. Method: English-based health sciences journal databases were searched using "Invisalign" and "Model Grading System". The databases included in this study were Pubmed, Ebscohost, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and MEDLINE. Inclusion criteria were clinical cross-sectional, cohort, or case-control study using human subjects who finished Invisalign treatment. Two independent authors summarized the data from the obtained articles using predefined data fields and discussed the data result together. Result: Out of 60 studies found during the identification process, only 6 studies were included in the qualitative analysis. Only one of them studied the efficacy of Invisalign® by using ABO-MGS to measure the pre- and post-treatment model. Invisalign® mostly successful in creating change for alignment, overjet, and interproximal contact. Other categories were not that successful to be treated with Invisalign. Conclusion: Invisalign®‘s success is mostly pursued by correcting the malocclusion in the anterior region. Given the scarce amount of reliable evidence available, it is suggested that more studies are required to be able to draw a further conclusion

THE EFFECT OF NANOCHITOSAN FROM RHINOCEROS BEETLE (Xylotrupes gideon) TOWARDS GIC SURFACE ROUGHNESS ON CRITICAL pH OF THE SALIVA
Get PDFBackground: Xylotrupes gideon is a harmful insect because it damages the shoots of coconut trees. Xylotrupes gideon has begun to be used in the form of nanochitosan as an alternative in dentistry. The addition of nanochitosan to Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) material is a modification to improve the properties of GIC, such as surface roughness caused by acidic conditions (critical saliva pH). Nano-sized chitosan is able to increase stability and better absorption, thus inhibit demineralization and increase tooth hardness. This research aimed to investigate the effect of nanochitosan from Xylotrupes gideon on the surface roughness of GIC at critical saliva pH.Method: This research type conducted is an experimental laboratory. Samples of 10 mm (height) x 2 mm (diameter) divided into 2 groups, (A) Unmodified GIC (control group), (B) GIC modified with 10% nanochitosan solution. Samples of the treatment and control group are stored in the incubator at 370C for 1 hour before early surface roughness testing and continued in critical saliva pH (5,5) for 7 days in the incubator before the final test. The surface roughness tester using sutrotonic s-100 series.Result: There was an increase in the surface roughness of conventional GIC by 0.133 µm and GIC nanochitosan by 0.122 µm. The results of the paired t-test before and after immersion in the two groups showed that there was a significant difference (p 0.05) between the nanochitosan GIC and conventional GIC.Conclusion: Nanochitosan can reduce the surface roughness value of GIC at critical saliva pH, although there is no significant difference to conventional GIC
