The comparison of two programmes to measure color difference (ΔE) from tooth sample photo
Get PDFBackground: Color evaluation is crucial to evaluate a material’s quality. One alternative method for evaluating material’s color is using photographs analysed by software. This research evaluates the use of digital imaging and software (ImageJ and Photoshop) to obtain color differences of tooth sample in-vitro. Method: The sample used is bovine teeth that were given tea-staining and brushing treatment using five tested toothpastes. Sample’s photographs for each toothpaste’s group (n=4) were taken before and after experiment. DLSR Nikon D90 was used with digital CCD censor, macro lens 105mm, manual setting (ISO 200, F-Stop 5, Shutter Speed 1/400) with distance to sample of 25cm. Sample was positioned in foldable mini-studio-box (24.5x24.5x22.5cm) with LED-lighting (6500-7000 color temperature). The photographs were taken in close room at 11.00am. Two software were used to obtain the color value from pre- and post-experimental photographs of the sample at the middle-third of the sample using CIE-Lab (Commision Internacional de l’Eclairage L*a*b) color system. The resulted color difference (ΔE) value of sample from the two-software were compared using independent T-test and evaluate the measurement accuracy using Pearson’s correlation (α=0.05). Result: ImageJ and Photoshop analyses of the sample photographs yield comparable ΔE values, as determined by an independent T-test (p=0.893). The Pearson correlation test reveals a positive correlation (R=0.904) between the two software. Conclusion: The use of digital photography and software to obtain ΔE values are accurate, representative, and recommended when taking into account the controlled procedure of photographing the sample and analysing the sample's color value

Evaluation of Biodegradable Fixation Application for Jaw Fracture in Pediatric Patients
Get PDFBackground: The treatment of jaw fractures in pediatric patients need a special concern and different management than adult patients due to their dynamic and structural changes following their growth patterns. Treatment by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using titanium or biodegradable plates as osteosynthesis material is indicated for displaced jaw fracture. Biodegradable fixation could be used as an alternative choice, using plates and screw that will decompose along with bone healing. Case: Two pediatric patients brought to RSUP Dr. Sardjito, Yogyakarta with complaints of jawbone fracture. The first patient was a 7-years-old woman diagnosed with mandibular symphysis fracture and a left mandibular kondilus fracture, while the second patient was a 15-years-old woman diagnosed with malunion of left maxillary fracture. Fracture treatment was performed using biodegradable fixation. The first patient was repositioned according to the anatomical state and the second patient the maxillary refracture was done before repositioning. Patients were evaluated clinically for up to three months postoperatively and radiological imaging was performed. Evaluation results show good jaw bone union, no malocclusion, no tooth mobility and no paresthesia in both patients. Intraoral wound dehiscence with exposed plate was found in the second patient at the vestibule of the left uper canine until premolar region and can be resolved by removal of the plates under local anesthesiaConclusions:. Biodegradable as an ideal osteosynthesis material for jaw fracture in pediatric patients
The evaluation of taste sensitivity between conventional and electric smokers
Get PDFBackground: Taste has an important role in human life because of the sense of taste, humans have an ability to taste various flavors of food. Decreased taste sensitivity can affect the quality of life and cause a person to consume excessive taste substances. One of the factors associated with decreased taste sensitivity is smoking. Currently, a new type of cigarette (electric cigarette or e-cigarette) is being developed which is favorable to young people because it has a different content, shape, and taste compared to conventional cigarettes. E-cigarettes are considered safer because aerosol does not contain the tobacco content of conventional cigarettes and is an alternative to smoking cessation programs. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the difference in taste sensitivity between conventional smokers and e-smokers.
Method: This research is an analytical observational study using a cross-sectional design. The research subjects were conventional and electric smokers who were students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. The research subjects were obtained by purposive sampling, a total of 32 people who had met the inclusion criteria. Data analysis used frequency tables for univariate data and an-independent sample T-test for bivariate data.
Result: The results of the bivariate analysis showed a significant value between conventional and electric smokers with p = 0.036 (< 0.05) for sweet, salty, and sour tastes, while for bitter tastes p = 0.031 (< 0.05).
Conclusion: Taste sensitivity in conventional smokers is less sensitive than in electric smokers. Sensitivity to bitter tastes in both treatment groups is less sensitive than sweet, salty, and sour tastes
The effect of braille 3g modified audio tactile media on dental health status of visually impaired children
Get PDFBackground: The poor condition of the visually impaired’s mouth is in consequence of unsupervised brushing teeth, technical errors in brushing the teeth, motor skill and guidance that are still neglected. To overcome these things, it requires special media namely braille media and an innovative technique known as audio tactile technique.
Methods: This study used quasi-experimental method with pre-test and post-test one group design which population and sample were visually impaired children in Special Needs School: Rehabilitation Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired (SLB-A PRPCN) Palembang. The total of the sample was 21 children which divided into three treatment groups (Braille 3G Media, Audio Tactile, and Braille 3G Modified Audio Tactile). The status of Dental and Oral Health of children was assessed by using plaque score assessment in the form of Patient Hygiene Performance Index for one month and two month with Anova-test analysis.
Results: The result shows that there is a very striking difference in plaque after one month (0.019) and after two months (0.030). Further analysis with the Post Hoc test shows that the groups that differed significantly in the plaque index after one month and two months are braille with modification and audio tactile with modification.
Conclusion: From the evidence, we can see that the braille 3G modified audio tactile media is more effective in reducing the plaque index because it can improve the dental health status of visually impaired children
Reccurent apthous with psychological stress predisposing factor – a case report
Get PDFBackground: Aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a painful recurrent inflammatory process of the oral mucosa. Clinical features of inflammation in aphthous stomatitis in the form of ulcers on the oral mucosa can be single or multiple and have no relationship with a systemic disease. The etiopathogenesis of aphthous stomatitis is several predisposing factors in the manifestation of the oral cavity. This article presents case reports on RAS patients with stress-predisposing factors.
Case: In October 2019, A 52-year-old female patient came to RSIGM complaining of canker sores in several places in her oral cavity, namely on the right inner lip, left inner lip, floor of the mouth, and under the tongue. The patient has felt this condition for the last 2 years, but the canker sores have disappeared and reappeared. The Miller and Smith test showed that the score is 42. We diagnosed the RAS patients with stress-predisposing factors.
Case Management: The patient was given oral methylprednisolone and becomzed tablet and counseling management stress.
Conclusion: cases of recurrent aphthous stomatitis are caused by psychological stress which can cause recurrent ulcers in the oral cavity. Eliminating stress-causing variables is one of the key therapies for these diseases. some patients need counseling with experts in stress management in addition to systemic treatment according to the symptoms felt by the patien
Effect of carbonated hydroxyapatite synthesis from cuttlefish shells on orthodontic relapse prevention: in silico study
Get PDFBackground: Relapse occurs frequently, 70–90% of the time, and typically compromises the outcome of orthodontic therapy. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which is found in cuttlefish shells, can be used to make a better biomaterial. One example is carbonated hydroxyapatite, which is very similar to human bone tissue and can stop osteoclast activity on the pressure side of the retention phase. This is a factor in orthodontic relapse, which is when the bone doesn't remodel properly. In this study, a test was done to see if carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) could be used as an alternative material to stop orthodontic relapse. The test was based on how the RANK-RANKL, OPG, and TGF-β proteins interacted with each other.
Method: CHA extracted from cuttlefish shells after 6 hours of calcination at 1000°C. RANK-RANKL, OPG, and TGF-β interactions were investigated in silico using molecular docking.
Result: A cuttlefish shell extract containing CHA has the potential to be used as an alternate material to prevent orthodontic recurrence. CHA chemicals can disrupt the link between RANK and RANKL and enhance OPG and TGF-β expression. This induces enhanced proliferation, which increases the number of osteoblasts and osteoblast differentiation while decreasing the rate of osteoclast activity.
Conclusion: Cuttlefish shell with CHA extract has the potential to be used as an alternative material to prevent orthodontic relapse
The Effect of Drug Users on Periodontal Health : Literature Review
Get PDFBackground: Drug trafficking in the world affects the country and spread to all levels of Indonesian society. Methamphetamine, marijuana, and heroin are the most commonly abused drugs. Drugs cause a lot of bad effects, including the oral cavity. Results of Health Research on the Impact of Drug Abuse in 2019, as many as 64.1% of them experienced dental problems and 60.1% of oral cavity disorders. The risk of periodontal disease in drug users is higher than non-users. Objective: To determine the effect of the use of methamphetamine, marijuana, and heroin and the most influential drug users on the health of periodontal tissues. Methods: Using secondary data obtained through several e-databases, that are Pubmed Central (PMC), SpringerLink, and ResearchGate based on keywords and a predetermined time span. Discussion: Periodontal disease in drug users is related to xerostomia, oral hygiene, and immunosuppression. The high accumulation of calculus and plaque in drug users due to their low awareness of maintaining oral health and impaired motor function that makes it difficult for a person to clean his oral cavity. Comparison of Bleeding on Probing (BOP) and Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL) values were used as the main variables to show the parameters of periodontal tissue inflammation in each type of drug (methamphetamine, marijuana, and heroin). Conclusion: There was an effect of methamphetamine, marijuana, and heroin on the health of periodontal tissues including gingivitis and periodontitis. The heroin used by intravenous injection had the most effect on periodontal tissue health compared to methamphetamine and marijuana

Osteocalcin levels in gingival crevicular fluid periodontitis patient with and without type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Get PDFBackground: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a systemic disease with a high prevalence in Indonesia. Periodontitis is a complication of DM with frequent occurrences. Periodontitis with DM causes greater bone damage than non-DM periodontitis because its conditions can affect osteoblast and osteoclast activity. Osteocalcin (OC), mostly synthesized by osteoblasts, regulates the activity of bone formation and turnover so that it can be a marker of bone formation and turnover to see the severity of the disease. OC can be found in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). This study aimed to determine osteocalcin levels in gingival crevicular fluid periodontitis patients with uncontrolled type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and non-Diabetes Mellitus.Method: Samples used in this study were gingival crevicular fluid taken from 20 samples of periodontitis patients with DM type 2 (DMT2P) and 20 samples of periodontitis non-DM patients. The OC levels were analyzed using ELISA Kit Osteocalcin then statistical tests were carried out.Result: The results showed that the OC level of the DMT2P group was 0.369 ± 0.140 while the periodontitis non-DM group was 0.664 ± 0.141.Conclusion: The OC levels of periodontitis patients with DM are lower than periodontitis patients non-DM
