Introduction: Dental and oral health can affect the quality of life as it relates to the general health condition. Dental and oral health problem that mostly found is dental caries. Dental caries mostly occurs in children in the mixed dentition stage. The mixed dentition stage occurs in elementary school-aged children, mark with malocclusions and tooth decays, that allows food retention as main cause of dental caries. The purpose of this study was to see the description of dental caries on mixed dentition stage of elementary school students in Cibeber Community Health Center. Methods: This research was a descriptive research with cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was elementary school students in Cibeber Community Health Center. The sampling method used was purposive sampling method. The caries profile was measured by deft index for deciduous teeth and DMFT index for permanent teeth were presented in tabular and diagrams. Results: The results of the study towards 272 elementary school students showed that the average value of deft index was 3.99 and DMFT index value was 1.26. This result can be caused since the location of the population was located in urban areas, with easy access to dental and oral health services and good tendencies towards the awareness of dental and oral health care. Conclusion: Dental caries of elementary school students in Cibeber Community Health Center based on (World Health Organization) guidelines by deft index was category as moderate and by DMFT index was classified low category.

Introduction:The oral diseases have increased significantly in the past decade. The Health Service of Cimahi reports showed an increasing number of oral diseases. Behaviour plays an important role in preventing oral disease. The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in the oral health behavior of the 12-years-old children in the rural and urban area of the city of Cimahi. Methods: The research type was analytic with the cross-sectional design. The sample was determined using pathfinder survey method from oral health surveys basic methods. Data were collected through a questionnaire containing knowledge and attitudes, observations of practice assessed in the checklist and assessment of the health status of the teeth using the Patient Hygiene Performance Data Index and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: The results showed that children in both rural and urban areas were having a good knowledge and positive attitude. Both the rural and urban children were doing the improper tooth brushing methods, and the children in the rural area had a fair PHP index value whilst the children in the urban area had a poor value. There were significant differences in the knowledge (p = 0.017), there was no significant difference in the attitude (p = 0.312) and practice (p = 1.000) in children of both rural and urban areas. Conclusion: Difference only found in the oral health knowledge of the 12-years-old children in the rural and urban area of the city of Cimahi.

Purpose Disc displacement can cause resorption of the head of the condyle and affect its volume. This study analysed the volume of normal condyles and those with disc displacement with reduction (DDR) in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans from the Indonesian population. Materials and Methods This study analysed 56 condyles (26 normal and 30 with DDR) from patients who visited the Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Unit after being referred from the Prosthodontics Unit at Dental Hospital Universitas Padjadjaran from December 2020 to February 2021. Samples were divided into 2 groups (normal and DDR left and right-side condyles) based on the DC/TMD Axis 1 form through the clinical examination results. Both sample groups were exposed to CBCT radiation. The CBCT imaging results in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine format were exported to the open-source ITK-SNAP format to determine condyle volume. Volumetric data from the cortical and trabecular areas of the right or left side condyles were arranged by sex. The independent t-test was used to determine the significance of differences with IBM SPSS version 21.0. Intra- and inter-observer reliability and validity were tested before determining the volume of the condyles. Results Normal condyles and DDR condyles showed significant differences in volume ( P <0.05). Significant differences were also seen in cortical ( P =0.0007) and trabecular ( P =0.0045) volumes. There was a significant difference in condylar volume based on sex. Conclusion The normal condyle volume was significantly different from the DDR condyle volume in both sexes.

Kegagalan perawatan saluran akar dapat disebabkan oleh kegagalan dalam mengeliminasi bakteri fakultatif anaerob, Enterococcus faecalis. Chlorhexidine (CHX) 2% merupakan cairan desinfekstan yang biasa digunakan pada irigasi saluran akar. Bahan alami yang bersifat antibakteri dapat diperoleh dari ekstrak kulit buah manggis (Garciana mangostana L.) karena bahan alami ini mengandung senyawa antioksidan flavonoid, tanin, dan xanton. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi kandungan fitokimia dan menguji potensi hambat ekstrak kulit buah manggis (50%) terhadap viabilitas Enterococcus faecalis. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental diawali dengan uji fitokimia ekstrak secara kualitatif. Ekstrak kulit buah manggis kemudian diujikan dengan menggunakan metode agar difusi terhadap tiga kelompok percobaan, yaitu E.faecalis ditambah CHX 2% sebagai kontrol positif, E. faecalis ditambah ekstrak kulit buah manggis 50% sebagai kelompok perlakuan, dan E. faecalis ditambah aquades sebagai kontrol negatif. Uji terhadap setiap kelompok dilakukan dengan menumbuhkan E.faecalis pada media Muller Hinton Agar (MHA). Bahan uji diserap menggunakan paper disc kemudian diapuskan pada permukaan agar. Potensi hambat bahan uji ditetapkan dengan cara mengukur diameter zona hambat menggunakan jangka sorong. Uji hambat dilakuan pengulangan sebanyak 6 kali. Hasil fitokimia didapatkan bahwa terdapat senyawa flavonoid, polifenol, tannin, alkaloid, saponin, dan kuinon. Ekstrak kulit buah manggis 50% memiliki rerata diameter zona hambat sebesar 10,3 mm terhadap Enterococcus faecalis. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian disimpulkan ekstrak kulit buah manggis 50% memiliki potensi hambat terhadap E. faecalis. Diperlukan studi lanjut untuk menetapkan potensinya sebagai larutan irigasi saluran akar.

Introduction:The prevalence of dental caries among children has increased in the past decades. Dental caries has a multifactorial aetiology, including host (saliva and teeth), microbiology (plaque), substrate (diet), and time. The role of fermentable carbohydrates intake as a risk factor in the initiation and progression of dental caries. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between dental caries and carbohydrates intake among preschool-aged children in rural and urban areas of the city of Cimahi, Indonesia. Methods: The method used was an analytical cross-sectional study with pathfinder survey based on the WHO basic methods of oral health surveys. The data were collected through intraoral examination, and nutritional status measurement was done by using food frequency questionnaire. Statistical analysis used was the chi-square test. Results: From the study towards 100 preschool children resulted the prevalence of dental caries in rural and urban area respectively was 96 and 92%. The average value of deft index in urban area was 8.46 (95% CI:7.00-9.91) and was 7.98 (95% CI:6.50-9.45) in rural area. The average value of sucrose intake frequency in urban area was 237.14 (95% CI:204.95-269.32), whilst in rural area was 177.54 (95% CI:155.66-199.41). Conclusion: There was a relationship between dental caries and carbohydrates intake among preschool-aged children in the rural and urban area of the city of Cimahi, Indonesia.
