Introduction:Tooth remineralization agent can be found in pasteurized milk and soy milk. Ca 2+ and PO 4 3ions concentration in both products inhibited hydroxyapatite dissolution and enhanced remineralization. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of pasteurized milk and pure soy milk on tooth enamel remineralization. Methods:This study was an experimental laboratory with pre-test post-test control group design. Twenty-seven maxillary premolars were divided into 3 groups; 37% phosphoric acid used to demineralized the samples followed by initial enamel hardness measurement. All samples were immersed in aquadest, pasteurized milk, and pure soy milk for 14 days, 102 minutes per day. Final enamel hardness was measured with the Vickers hardness test. Results:Increasing enamel hardness was found in all groups. Two-way ANOVA test was used to compare the increase of enamel hardness in all group, which showed the p-value = 0.002. Post-hoc LSD test was then used to compare the increase of the enamel hardness in pasteurized milk and pure soy milk groups, which resulted in the p-value = 0.147. Conclusion:There was an effect of pasteurized milk and pure soy milk group on enamel remineralization. However, there was no difference in the increase of enamel hardness value between pasteurized milk and pure soy milk groups.

Background: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused Indonesia to take several actions and strategies in controlling the spread of infection. Padang is one of the cities in West Sumatera, Indonesia that has the highest number of COVID-19 cases. The usage of technology as a tool to minimize contact with infection in dental health care has been proven effective. However, teledentistry as an implementation of this technology is often hampered by legal issues, especially in data security. Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine dental practitioners' understanding of legal elements of teledentistry in Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia. Methodology: An electronic questionnaire survey with 10 questions was developed by Google Forms, validated, and distributed electronically by zoom to 168 dental practitioners before and after the intervention. Statistical Analysis: Collected data were analyzed for statistical significance by using SPSS software (Version 16.0). . Result: There is a lack of prior knowledge of teledentistry in legal aspects among dental practitioners. A significant level of percentage of participants’ knowledge regarding the teledentistry legal aspects has increased after the intervention. Conclusion: The majority of the respondents in this survey lacked adequate information and understanding of the legal aspects of teledentistry. Seminars and training are needed to increase dental practitioners’ knowledge of the legal issue in teledentistry.
Glass ionomer cement and resin modified glass ionomer cement are one of the restoration materials that are widely used by dentists. Its presence in the oral cavity causes glass ionomer cement and resin modified glass ionomer cement often in contact with food and beverages such as tangerine juice which can affect the compressive strength. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of immersion in tangerine juice towards the compressive strength of glass ionomer cement and resin modified glass ionomer. This study was a true experimental with a post test only with control group design. Samples were made from GC Fuji 9 GP and GC Gold Label 2 LC with 36 samples each. Samples were divided into two groups. The first group (18 samples of GC Fuji 9 GP and 18 samples of GC Gold Label 2 LC) was immersed in tangerine juice for 24 hours in an incubator at 37°C. The second group (18 samples of GC Fuji 9 GP and 18 samples of GC Gold Label 2 LC) as a control was immersed in artificial saliva for 24 hours in an incubator at 37°C. The compressive strength was determined using a compression machine. The results showed that the mean compressive strength of glass ionomer cement immersed in tangerine juice was 14,03±0,48 MPa and immersed in artifical saliva was 52,08±0,67 MPa. The mean compressive strength of resin modified glass ionomer cement immersed in tangerine juice was 58,98±0,97 MPa and immersed in artifical saliva was 68,28±0,67 MPa. Data were analyzed with Independent T-test showing the results of p<0.05. The conclusion of this study was that there was an effect of immersion in tangerine juice towards the decreasing of the compressive strength of glass ionomer cement and resin modified glass ionomer cement.
Composite resin is the most frequently material used for restoring teeth but still failure cases are seen which leading to microleakage. Microleakage might be attributed to various factors, one of them is bonding agent. Various generations of bonding agents have been introduced to overcome the microleakage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of composite restorations using the fifth and seventh bonding agent. Class I cavities (3X2X2 mm) were prepared on the occlusal surfaces of 32 human upper premolars. Teeth were classified into two groups according to the type of bonding agent used (n =16). Group I: Fifth Generation of Bonding Agent-Adper Single Bond2. Group II: Seventh Generation of Bonding Agent-Single Bond Universal. All cavities were restored with Filtek Z250 XT composite resin, stored in sterile aquades water at 370C for 24 h. The root apices were sealed with sticky wax, and all the surfaces, except for 2 mm from the margins, were coated with nail varnish. The teeth were immersed in a 1% methylene blue dye solution for 24 h, and then rinsed in running water, blot-dried and sectioned longitudinally through the center of restorations from the buccal to palatal surface. The sections were blindly assessed for microleakage of dye penetration by using a stereomicroscope. Data were collected and statistically analyzed by independent t -test. There was no significant difference (p>0,05) between two groups. The conclusion is fifth generation of bonding agent revealed less leakage compared to the seventh generation even statistically there was no significant difference. Keywords:Microleakage, fifth generation of bonding agent, seventh generation of bonding agent.
