Background: Several processes in a teeth treatment often inflict wound in gingiva. Collagen is the key component of the wound healing. The collagen roles in advancing wound healing particularly, triggering the synthesis to induces collagen and cellular migration, and also inducing clotting cascades. Wound treatment using natural product is potential in accelerating wound healing, in particular duck egg membrane which contains collagen, glucosamine, and hyaluronic acid. This study aims to find out the influence of gel extract application of duck egg shell membrane 10 % towards collagen solidity on gingiva wound recovery process (study of Rattus norvegicus). Method: The subjects of the study consist of 20 male Rattus norvegicus aged 2-3 months which were given wound on labial gingiva of the maxillary central incisors with punch biopsy. The samples were divided into 2 groups, they were positive control group (Aloclair Gel
Background: Gingival recession is an exposure of the root surface due to migration of the marginal periodontal tissues apical to the cemento enamel junction. There are so many root coverage procedures, among these techniques, VISTA technique combined with ADM and PRF offers minimally invasive approach.Case Management: A-40-year-old male visited Periodontics Clinic of DentalHospital Airlangga University with the chief complaint of poor aesthetic resulting from exposed root surfaces in upper right front region of the jaw. Root coverage by VISTA technique using ADM combined with PRF was planned to this case.Discussion: The minimal invasive VISTA technique approach, combined with ADMand PRF has a number of advantages for successful treatment of multiple recession defects. VISTA technique was used because it can maintain better blood supply and maintain critical papillary integrity. ADM works like an autogenous graft by providing a bioactive matrix consisting of collagen, elastin, blood vessel channels, and bioactive protein that support natural revascularization, cell repopulation, and tissue remodeling. Growth factors present in PRF plays a crucial role in hard and soft tissue repair.Conclusion: VISTA technique together with ADM and PRF membrane can besuccessfully used as a treatment method for multiple gingival recessions of Miller’s class I defects
Background: Phaleria macrocarpa’s leaf contains alkaloids, saponins, phenols, tannins, and flavonoids which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities. The nanoemulgel preparation was chosen because it can penetrate well and quickly into the mucosa thereby increasing absorption. Physical stability tests need to be carried out to ensure the quality, safety and benefits of the gel meet the expected specifications and stable during storage. Objective: This study aims to determine which concentration has the most stable physical stability of pH and viscosity which were observed for 28 days. Materials and Methods: This was an experimental laboratory design, with 30 preparation divided into 3 groups, group of 30%, 40%, and 50% concentration preparation of nanoemulgel leaves of Phaleria macrocarpa. which were tested for pH tests and viscosity tests for 28 days which was observed every 7 days in climatic chamber. The pH and viscosity tests among groups were compared and analyzed by the Repeated Anova and Pos Hoc test. Results: Average pH test and viscosity test 30% concentration with the average baseline and h+28 pH values were 5,02 and 4,97 and the baseline and h+28 viscosity values were 1610 cPas and 1520 cPas. The results of the average concentration of 50% pH value at baseline = 4,65 and h+28 = 4,60. The mean baseline viscosity value=1290 cPas and h+28=1170 cPas. The results of the post-Wilcoxon test showed p>0.05 in the 30% concentration group for pH and viscosity tests showed that there was no significant difference in pH and viscosity values at a concentration of 30%, It means the pH value and viscosity of the 30% concentration preparation of nanoemulgel were relatively constant from baseline to h+28. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the pH and viscosity test of the preparation of nanoemulgel leaves of Phaleria macrocarpa at a concentration of 30% was the most stable pH and viscosity compared to concentrations of 40% and 50%.
Background: One of the aesthetic issues in using composite resin is the color change. This study aimed to compare the color changes of preheated and nonpreheated nanofiller composite resin soaked in non-instant coffee and instant coffee. Method: This study involved 24 round composite resins with a diameter of 12 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. The samples were divided into two groups (n=12); group I was prepared at 68°C and group II was prepared at room temperature. After curing, the samples were immersed in distilled water at 37°C for 24 hours before being measured with a UV-vis spectrophotometer. Each group was divided into two sub-groups (n=6), one soaked in non-instant coffee and the other in instant coffee for three days, and the final color was measured. The data was analyzed using two independent t-tests with a significance level of α =0.05. Result: Two independent t-tests revealed a significant difference between preheated and non-preheated nanofiller composite resins soaked in noninstant coffee (p<0.05), as well as a significant difference between preheated and non-preheated nanofiller composite resins soaked in instant coffee (p<0.05).
Conclusion:The preheating was effective to improve the color stability of composite resin after immersion in non-instant coffee and instant coffee.
