Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome has a wide spectrum of clinical features, namely macroglossia, defects in the abdominal wall and an increased risk of developing embryonal tumors during childhood. Macroglossia can cause several disorders such as airway obstruction, dysphagia, drooling, speech difficulties and other disorders. To determine the etiology and clinical picture and to differentiate macroglossia in BWS from macroglossia in other diseases so as to be able to make a diagnosis and plan the right treatment. Collecting and analyzing relevant references in the form of journals and textbooks accessed through the Google Scholar, Google Books, PubMed and Science Direct databases. Macroglossia in BWS and macroglossia in other diseases can be distinguished if an appropriate diagnosis is made by means of a complete clinical and physical examination so that clinical symptoms and possible etiological factors can be identified.
Smoking duration can have a number of detrimental effects on oral health including tooth loss, periodontal disease, oral soft tissue changes, excessive tooth wear, halitosis, implant failure, oropharyngeal cancer, and dental caries. This study aimd to analyze the relationship between smoking duration and the occurrence of dental caries among residents of social care institutions. This was an observational and analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Samples were 100 residents of Panti Sosial Bina Insan Bangun Daya 1, Kedoya Jakarta Barat, taken by purposive sampling technique. Data were collected by examining dental caries experience with the DMF-T index to obtain the status of dental caries and filling out a questionnaire to obtain the frequency of smoking duration. The Spearman correlation test showed a p-value of 0.436 with a coefficient of r = 0.079 for the relationship between smoking duration and the occurrence of dental caries. In conclusion, there is no relationship between duration of smoking and the occurrence of dental caries in residents of social care institutions. However, the prevalence of caries experience for those residents reaches 96% with an average DMF-T index of 4.8 which is categorized as high according to WHO. Keywords: dental caries; duration of smoking; residents of social care institutions; index DMF-T Abstrak: Durasi merokok dapat memiliki sejumlah efek merugikan pada kesehatan mulut, antara lain kehilangan gigi, penyakit periodontal, perubahan jaringan lunak oral, keausan gigi yang berlebihan, halitosis, kegagalan implan, kanker orofaringeal, dan karies gigi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara durasi merokok dengan terjadinya karies gigi di panti sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasional analitik dengan desain potong lintang. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 100 orang penghuni panti sosial Bina Insan Bangun Daya 1, Kedoya Jakarta Barat, yang diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling. Pengambilan data melalui pemeriksaan pengalaman karies gigi dengan indeks DMF-T untuk melihat status karies gigi dan pengisian kuesioner untuk melihat frekuensi durasi merokok. Hasil uji korelasi Spearman terhadap hubungan antara durasi merokok dengan terjadinya karies gigi memperoleh nilai p=0,436 dengan koefisien r = 0,079. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah tidak terdapat hubungan antara durasi merokok dengan terjadinya karies gigi pada penghuni panti sosial. Prevalensi pengalaman karies penghuni panti panti sosial mencapai 96% dengan rerata indeks DMF-T sebesar 4,8 yang tergolong tinggi menurut WHO. Kata kunci: karies gigi; durasi merokok; penghuni panti sosial; indeks DMF-T
Introduction: During the current COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a change in the pattern of public health services. Dental and oral health services are currently becoming a trend in society in Indonesia, namely teledentistry. Teledentistry is the use of information technology to carry out dental procedures without distance limitations. Purpose: to conduct a literature study to examine the meaning, benefits and practices of teledentistry so that it can prevent the spread of COVID-19, especially between dentists and patients in Indonesia. Methods: This literature study uses the narrative review method by analyzing various journals from the PubMed, Ebsco and Google Scholar databases from the last 10 years related to teledentistry. Conclusion: Teledentistry as a medium for transition and collaboration between conventional systems and digital systems is considered to be able to support and greatly assist dentists and patients in overcoming oral health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic
Tonsillitis (Tonsillitis) is a condition caused by trapped plaque which is formed from the accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria, fungi, sloughed off cells, and food debris that sticks to the palatine tonsillar crypts. This plaque can cause bad breath (halitosis). Purpose: to determine the impact of patients with tonsillitis (tonsillitis) on halitosis. Methods: This literature study uses Narrative Review by analyzing various journals from the online database BMC Oral Health, PubMed, and Google Scholar which are related to Halitosis in Tonsillitis sufferers. Results: Within two weeks of Tonsillitis treatment, the halitosis was excavated and disappeared. Conclusion: Tonsillitis is one of the causes of bad breath. Actions applied are Tonsillitis removal, giving mouth rinses, antibiotics, and maintenance of oral hygiene
Background: The oral cavity is an anatomically part of the body that has complex tissues and structures and is covered by soft, moist, and flexible non-keratinized mucosa for mobility. In some individuals, normal variations can be found, one of which is the White Sponge Nevus (WSN). These lesions are usually in the form of patches of white plaque that can be found by a dentist. Purpose: To identify and be able to differentiate normal variation lesions from pathological lesions that have similar clinical features. Method: Based on reference sources/references obtained from articles, journals for 2011-2021, textbooks, and websites accessed through the Google Scholar database, Science Direct, PubMed. Conclusion: In making a diagnosis, the dentist plays an important role in analyzing the etiology and predisposing factors in order to facilitate the identification of the White sponge nevus condition and eliminate other conditions which are a differential diagnosis. The normal variation of white sponge nevus has a good prognosis, so special medical treatment is not needed if it does not cause symptoms.
