The Effect Of Bisphosphonate Risedronate Emulgel On The Inhibition Of Relaps Tooth Movement
No full textBackground: Orthodontic treatment is performed to correct the malocclusion, and after treatment is complete. The position of the teeth must be maintained because the teeth can move back to their original position, commonly known as relapse. Various attempts have been made, such as using retainers, and various studies have used pharmacological agents such as bisphosphonate risedronate to inhibit relapse, but these studies still used the injection method, which is inconvenient to apply and has a systemic effect. For this reason, changing the bisphosphonate preparation to an emulgel will facilitate its application and have a local effect, but it is necessary to test and determine its effectiveness in inhibiting the relapse.
Method: An experimental laboratory study was conducted on 18 guinea pigs, which were divided into three groups: I (control), II (emulgel without risedronate), and III (emulgel with risedronate). The teeth were moved with open coil springs on both lower incisors for seven days, stabilized for seven days, and emulgel applied in groups II and III. The coil spring was removed, and the distance between the two incisors was measured on the third and seventh days.
Result: Using One-Way ANOVA and Post Hoc LSD, the data analysis results showed significant differences between the control and the risedronate emulgel groups on the third and seventh days. The largest relapse occurred in the control group, while the smallest was in the emulgel group with risedronate.
Conclusion: These results indicate that risedronate bisphosphonate in the form of emulgel influences inhibiting the movement of tooth relaps
Efectivenesse of three pulp capping materials on cellular response of pulp tissue
No full textBackground: Pulp capping is a treatment that utilizes medications to preserve pulp vitality. Ca(OH)2, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and biodentine are presently the most common pulp capping medications. As pulp capping materials, Ca(OH)2 and MTA are known to have several weaknesses. Biodentine has been created in an effort to mitigate the drawbacks of Ca(OH)2 and MTA. Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of three pulp capping medications in reducing inflammation and accelerating pulp regeneration.
Methods: Total 48 male Wistar rats, that were divided into 4 groups, namely 1st control group, 2nd MTA group, 3rd biodentine group, and 4th Ca(OH)2 group. Maxillary 1st molar teeth of rats were prepared using round bur no. 080 perpendicular to the tooth axis to a depth of 1mm, until a reddish color appeared on the pulp. Furthermore, pulp capping medicament was applied to the deepest points, and temporary fillings were made with Zn2(PO4)3. Decapitation was carried out on days 4 and 7 to count the number of neutrophil cells, macrophages, odontoblast-like cells, and fibroblasts. Data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA (

Evaluation of rat model oral candidiasis mucosal response immune
Get PDFBackground: The choice of antifungal drugs is limited and has not yet made significant progress. The animal model of oral candidiasis is a crucial factor in exploring antifungals. In our previous study's oral candidiasis rat model, we found an increase in the sedimentation rate and a decrease in infection microbiologically and histologically on day 8 compared to day five after inoculation. On the other hand, blood plasma levels of IL-17, as the main cytokine in fungal infections, keep at a low level. The study aims to prove the increase in the immune response in the oral mucosa of an oral candidiasis rat model on the 8th day after inoculation of C. albicans. Methods: The sample consisted of 2 groups; healthy Wistar rats as a control and Wistar Rat rats treated as an oral candidiasis rat model. Eight days after inoculating C. albicans,The immune response was evaluated by counting the number of visual field inflammatory cells on the dorsum of the rat dorsum tongue.Results: The number of inflammatory cells, including macrophages in the dorsal tongue mucosa of oral candidiasis rats, was higher than that of healthy rats. Conclusion: There was an increase in the number of inflammatory cells in the dorsum of the tongue mucosa of the oral candidiasis rat model on day 8, which is a sign of an increased immune response in the experimental animal model

They expect that in the future, the government more attention to oral health of individuals with special needs. The role of the general dentist is crucial, and they expect the dentist to be more patient when caring with patients with special needs.Conclusion: Our findings indicate a need for comprehensive educational intervention and improved communication from policy maker, dentist, public health and prevention leaders in oral health care and dental hygienists to increase oral healthcare knowledge and practice of parents with ASD to better quality of lif
Cytotoxicity and mechanical properties of biphasic calcium phosphate scaffold from Tegilarca granosa due to its composition
Get PDFBackground: Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) is graft material contained HA and TCP. Tegilarca granosa shell is a natural source that may converted into BCP. This study aims to determine the composition and cytotoxicity of BCP synthesized from Tegilarca granosa shell used various hydrothermal hours and to evaluate the mechanical properties of BCP scaffold. Methods: Tegilarca granosa shell was converted into BCP using hydrothermal method at 200˚C for 6h (Group 1); 9h (Group 2); and 12h (Group 3). The composition was determined by XRD and the cell viability were evaluated using MTT Assays. Each group was added with 20% gelatin ratio 50:50 (w/v) and freeze-dried to form scaffold. Scaffolds (Ø6mm x 4mm) were prepared for diametral tensile strength (DTS) test (n=6) and scaffolds (Ø7mm x 11mm) were used for compressive strength (CS) test (n=6). All data were analyzed using Kruskall-Wallis followed by Mann-Whitney test. Results: The composition of BCP (HA/ TCP) at Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3 were 81.80%/14,10%; 87%/6%; and 72%/21%. The cell viabilities were good for all groups. The DTS and CS test showed there was a significant difference between Group 1 and Group 3 scaffold, meanwhile there was no significant differences between Group 2 and Group 3 scaffold. Group 3 scaffold showed the highest DTS and CS, 6.921 MPa and 1,233 MPa. Conclusion: The BCP composition were depent on hydrothermal hours. Although all scaffold groups were non-toxic, but BCP scaffold synthesized from Tegilarca granosa shell using hydrothermal for 12 hours showed the highest mechanical properties
The role of Treponema denticola in the periodontitis alveolar bone damage: Systematic review
Get PDFBackground: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation condition of the periodontal tissue, which causes irreversible, progressive deterioration of the tooth-supporting tissue, leading to tooth loss. One of the main bacteria in the pathogenesis of periodontitis is Treponema denticola. Its involvement in periodontitis includes producing and releasing various virulence factors that further modulate inflammation and ignite alveolar bone destruction. Objective: To examine Treponema denticola's role in the mechanism of alveolar bone damage in periodontitis. Method: This systematic review was conducted from August 2021 until April 2022. Qualified literature is evaluated based on inclusion criteria, including published in English within the last ten years and research articles available in full text. The inclusion literature’s determination was based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis). Result: Six journals fit the inclusion criteria and discuss Treponema denticola involvement in alveolar bone destruction via several mechanisms, including periplasmic flagella as its virulence factor. Treponema denticola can inhibit osteogenic cell differentiation and induce the production TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, which are the proinflammatory cytokines involved in osteoclastogenesis. The induction mechanism of these various cytokines can ultimately increase osteoclast differentiation by increasing RANKL expression and decreasing OPG expression. Conclusion: Treponema denticola is involved in alveolar bone destruction by inhibiting bone formation and inducing an inflammatory response in immune cells that can increase osteoclast differentiation, as observed in alveolar bone destruction
Allergy-related stomatitis: a rare case in dental practice
Get PDFBackground: Oral mucosa is the first gate of food and water to enter the body. This area, including the lips, is more frequent in contact with various food substances containing flavoring agents; therefore, it is very susceptible to allergy-related stomatitis. This study aims to report the case of allergy-related stomatitis due to food intake.Case: We present a case report of 31 year-old-woman complaining of an uncomfortable and burning sensation in the tongue, hard palate, and lips. The clinical examination showed an erythematous lesion along the mucosal lip. The history revealed that the patient had an atopic allergy to seafood and cold air. She reported that three days before she visited the dentist, she ate seafood with very spicy seasoning. According to the complete blood test, it was revealed that eosinophil and total IgE were high. We diagnose allergy-related stomatitis based on the history, clinical features, and blood test examination. The patient was advised not to eat seafood or spicy food and eliminate the precipitating factors Conclusion: Diagnosis of allergy-related stomatitis can be obtained by anamnesis, clinical examination, and other laboratory testing
Comparison of bombyx mori l. Fibroin coatings on the mechanical properties of collagen membranes
Get PDFBackground: Most of dental implants are accompanied by guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures. Collagen membrane which is the most widely used type of membrane in the GBR procedure has the disadvantage of not having antimicrobial properties, old bone formation, easy to tear, and soft so that it does not maintain the dimensions of the augmentation area. Bombyx mori L. fibroin has good mechanical properties and has the potential to be used as a pharmaceutical material that is biocompatible, antimicrobial, and stimulates bone growth. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of Bombyx mori L. fibroin coating on the mechanical properties of collagen membranes.
