Objectives: To analyze idiopathic osteosclerosis radiographs associated with impacted third molars (M3) on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Case Report: A 36-year-old woman came to the Dentology Clinic complaining that the right mandibular third molar area often felt sore. The patient was referred for CBCT examination and incidentally, a radiopaque image with clear boundaries, irregular shape was found on the periapical impacted third molar without caries in the tooth crown. The treatment plan that will be carried out on the tooth is extraction. Conclusion: Idiopathic osteosclerosis lesions are lesions that occur in vital teeth that have the characteristics of a well-defined radiopaque appearance and are asymptomatic. Characteristics of idiopathic osteosclerosis lesions can be visualized by CBCT well. CBCT has the advantage of being able to display a detailed picture of the lesion in three dimensions (3D) with a fairly good image resolution.
Heat-cured acrylic resin dentures are used to treat tooth loss, however, pores are easily formed on their surfaces which make it easier for Candida to adhere. Improper maintenance of dentures can cause overgrowth of Candida albicans and trigger denture stomatitis. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Mangifera indica L. extract on inhibition of Candida albicans on heat-cured acrylic resin plates. This was a true experimental laboratory study with a post-test only control group design. Samples were heat-cured acrylic resin plates contaminated with Candida albicans. The treatment groups were chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2%, aquades, and extract with concentrations of 65%, 75%, 85%, and 100%. Samples were immersed in the treatment groups for 15 minutes, followed by dilution and culture on SDA media, and then fungal colonies were observed. Data were analyzed with the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, the Levene's test for homogeneity, continued with the parametric one-way ANOVA and post hoc least significant difference tests. The results showed significant differences between the treatment groups (p<0.05). The percentage of the extract group with the lowest number of fungi was 75%, meanwhile the highest one was 65%. In conclusion, Mangifera indica L. leaf extract is effective in inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans on heat-cured acrylic resin plates with an optimal concentration of 75%. Keywords: mango leaf extract (Mangifera indica L.); Candida albicans; heat-cured acrylic resin Abstrak: Gigi tiruan resin akrilik heat-cured digunakan untuk mengatasi kehilangan gigi, namun sering terbentuk porus pada permukaannya yang mempermudah perlekatan Candida. Pemeliharaan gigi tiruan yang tidak tepat dapat menyebabkan pertumbuhan Candida albicans berlebihan dan memicu terjadinya denture stomatitis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas ekstrak daun mangga arum manis (Mangifera indica L.) dalam menghambat Candida albicans pada plat resin akrilik heat-cured. Jenis penelitian ialah true experimental laboratory dengan post test only control group design menggunakan sampel plat resin akrilik heat-cured yang dikontaminasi Candida albicans. Kelompok perlakuan yaitu chlorhexidine gluconate 0,2%, akuades, ekstrak konsentrasi 65%, 75%, 85%, dan 100%. Sampel direndam pada kelompok perlakuan selama 15 menit, dilanjutkan dengan tahap dilusi serta kultur pada media SDA, diakhiri dengan pengamatan koloni jamur. Analisis data menggunakan uji normalitas Shapiro Wilk, uji homogenitas Levene, dan dilanjutkan dengan uji parametrik One-Way ANOVA, dan Post Hoc Least Significant Difference. Hasil penelitian mendapat-kan perbedaan bermakna antar kelompok perlakuan (p<0,05). Kelompok ekstrak dengan angka jamur terendah ialah konsentrasi 75% dan yang tertinggi ialah konsentrasi 65%. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah ekstrak daun mangga arum manis (Mangifera indica L.) efektif dalam menghambat pertumbuhan Candida albicans pada plat resin akrilik heat-cured dengan konsentrasi optimal 75%. Kata kunci: ekstrak daun Mangifera indica L.; Candida albicans; resin akrilik heat-cured
Objectives: This case report is aimed to describe the features of CBCT in assessing tooth fracture. Case Report: A 50-year-old man came with complaints of discomfort in the right lower jaw area, especially when used for chewing. The results of the percussion test were positive. CBCT examination showed that there was a radiolucent image of the enamel in the middle of the crown root to the 1/3 apical of the mesial and distal roots of tooth 47 which resembled a fracture line. The fracture line also appears to have reached the pulp. In addition, there is a well-defined radiolucent appearance with an irregular shape along the root from the buccal to lingual alveolar crest and accompanied by a decrease in the alveolar crest. The fracture that occurred in this case was from the enamel to the apical and involved the pulp, thus the radiodiagnosis on tooth 47 was a complicated crown root fracture with lateral periodontal cyst. Conclusion: CBCT can be used to help identify tooth fractures by obtaining a more accurate and useful value in differentiating conditions associated with fractures. CBCT provides data on the size and length of the fracture line and the size of the lesion.
