Aim: This study aims to evaluate the clinical assessment results of periimplant soft tissue with morse taper (internal abutment connection). Methods: The study was conducted using a rapid review by searching the articles from PubMed NCBI and Cochrane by using keywords. All articles were selected by the year, duplication, title, abstract, full-text, and finally, all selected articles were processed for final review. Following clinical parameters were included; Periimplant Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), Plaque Score (PS), modified Plaque Index (mPI), Mucosal Thickness (MTh), Gingival Height (GH), periimplant mucosal zenith, Pink Esthetic Score (PES), Bleeding On Probing (BOP), Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI), and modified Gingival Index (mGI). Results: 9 selected articles were obtained from the initial literature searching count of 70 articles. The overall samples included 326 morse taper implants. Based on the evaluation, 3 out of 4 articles reported pocket depth < 4 mm, no bleeding was reported in 2 out of 4 articles. 4 out of 4 articles reported low plaque accumulation, low soft tissue recession was reported in 3 out of 3 articles, and 4 out of 4 articles reported acceptable PES values. Conclusion: The evaluations indicate that the morse taper (internal abutment connection) has favorable assessment results based on various clinical parameters.

Oral health status among children has been proven of possessing strong relationship with general health status which is curently well documented. Oral health status illustrating periodontal tissues health might be affected by general health status actually associated with some diseases. This statement assumes that periodontal health is influenced by the diseases such as infection, chronic and degenerative diseases impairing general health status. Aim. The aim of this study was to examine oral health status and general health status among elementary students with age of 6-8 years old . Method. This study was descriptive with cross sectional method by selecting 44 students from several elementary school in Bandung City. Oral health status was established through determining oral hygiene index-simplified (OHI-S) and general health status was determined by using body mass index (BMI) through measuring body weight and height. The data gained was presented into tables. Result. The research results show that 70,45% respondents are male exhibiting the BMI mean of 13,22 with OHI-S mean of 1,12 meanwhile the female respondents is that 29,55% are having BMI mean of 12,67 and OHI-S mean is 1,58. Conclusion. Based on the data obtained, it can be concludes that the elementary students participated in this study either male and female are catagorized of having mild general health status showed by low BMI with mild oral health status indicated by moderate OHI-S

Introduction: One of the human rights is the right to live prosperously. Indonesian government provides social security for workers, namely the Social Security Administrator for Employment (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan). Social Security Administrator for Employment has a specific set of regulations set by the government. Social Security Administrator for Employment participants obtains the value of benefits through the social security program. This study was aimed to analyse the relationship between regulations and the value of benefits obtained by BPJS Employment participants. Methods: This research was a correlational descriptive study with a survey method. Results: Most respondents stated strongly agree with the regulations of Social Security Administrator for Employment (85.09%), and most respondents felt that they gained a lot of the value of benefits as expected (83.80%). The results of the Spearman correlation test between the Social Security Administrator for Employment regulations with the values obtained by respondents, which resulted in p = 0.0001 with α = 0.05. The p-value that lower than the α indicates a significant relationship. Conclusion: There is a relationship between the regulations of Social Security Administrator for Employment and the values obtained for the participants, with the direction of positive correlation and the moderate correlation strength.

Introduction: Bronchial asthma patients use inhalation drugs as therapy to achieve a controlled asthma state. Inhaled corticosteroids and β2 agonists are the medication that is being used in this case. Prolonged use of inhalation drugs will affect the health of periodontal tissue. The effect of these drugs can reduce the periodontal defense mechanism and increase the risk of periodontal disease. This study aims to determine the periodontal clinical features of bronchial asthma patients using inhalation drugs. Method: This research was a descriptive study. The sample of the study were 22 females and 8 males bronchial asthma patients at the Community Lung Health Center of Bandung (Balai Besar Kesehatan Paru Masyarakat Bandung/BBKPM Bandung) who had been using inhalation drugs for at least one year. The periodontal clinical feature was assessed by employing a Community Periodontal Index (CPI) modified with probing the gingival sulcus to assess the presence of gingival bleeding, periodontal pocket, and loss of clinical attachment where then a periodontal status was obtained. The periodontal status data were then processed using the periodontitis case definitions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/American Academy of Periodontology (CDC/AAP) to determine periodontal disease in asthmatics patients. Results: Clinical features of gingival bleeding were found in 26 asthmatic patients (86.7%), periodontal pockets in 18 asthmatic patients (60%), and loss of clinical attachment in 27 asthmatic patients (90%). Based on the CDC/AAP case definition, 23 asthmatic patients (76.7%) had periodontitis. Bronchial asthma patients who used inhalation drugs had a risk of periodontitis.Conclusion: Bronchial asthma patients who used inhalation drugs for at least one year had gingival bleeding and loss of clinical attachment and periodontal pocket.

Introduction: The main contents of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) is xanthone with antibacterial activity. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) was a gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacillus that causes periodontal diseases such as localised aggressive periodontitis (LAP). Mangosteen rind extract could inhibit the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis and A. actinomycetemcomitans. This study was aimed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of mangosteen rind extract against A. actinomycetemcomitans. Methods: This study was an experimental and in-vitro study of antimicrobial properties of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana Linn.).The extract of mangosteen was made by the maceration method using 70% ethanol solvent. A. actinomycetemcomitans (ATCC 43718) obtained from Laboratorium of Microbiology Airlangga University Surabaya. This study used a microdilution method and analysed using the Enzyme Linked Immune Sorbent Assay (ELISA). The determination of the MIC was measured using the formula for cell inhibition percentage. Three concentrations higher than the MIC standard were cultured on the Mueller Hinton agar. The lowest concentration on agar which was not found any growth of the bacterial colonies was determined as the MBC. Results: The results of this study indicated that the MIC and MBC of mangosteen rind extract against A. actinomycetemcomitans were 195.3 ppm and 1562.5 ppm, respectively. Conclusion: Mangosteen rind extract can inhibit and bactericide the growth of A. actinomycetemcomitans.

Dental implant failure started with a resorption on alveolar crest. Resorption occurred if the stress is greater than the strength threshold (ultimate strength). Bones carrying mechanical loads adapt their strength to the load applied on it by bone modelling or remodelling; by apposition or destruction depends on internal stress level distributed on the bones. This research was conducted using FEM on a CBCT image of model which were implanted and converted into computerized 3D finite element digital model. The model was given material properties, fixed support, and being simulated on occlusal loads of 87 N and friction loads of 29 N for 0,7 seconds.Maximum princip al loads on alveolar bone of implant model was 41 Mpa and still below the ultimate strength (69 MPa). Based on the stress level above, it may be concluded that alveolar bone on implant model has good resistance towards resorption.
