Lack of knowledge about dental health causes high caries rates in children. Children at school age tend to imitate the behavior of their teachers so that teachers play a role in increasing knowledge of dental health in school-age children. During this pandemic, there are limitations to providing education directly in the school environment. The aim of this activity is to provide education to teachers about dental health. So that it can increase the knowledge of teachers and it is hoped that teachers can be a pioneer in increasing knowledge about dental health in school-age children. The method was carried out by providing material in the form of an online powerpoint presentation through zoom application and the use of dental health teaching aids. The result of this activity showed an increase in knowledge about dental health. After conducting counseling, it can be concluded that the use of teaching aids is effective in contributing to the success of dental health education and increasing the understanding and enthusiasm of kindergarten teachers.

<strong><em>Background: </em></strong><em>Restoration after endodontic treatment is still a challenge that must be performed by doctors in daily practice. The gold standard treatment for this case is post-core crown. However, this aggressive preparation for post-core crown does not in line with the minimally invasive concept in modern dentistry.<strong> Objective: </strong>To restore the function and aesthetic of maxillary first molars after endodontic treatment using Endocrown.<strong> Case: </strong>A 54-year-old male patient came to the clinic with a broken amalgam restoration on the first right upper molar since 3 months ago. The restoration was felt sharp thus iritate the tongue. On clinical and radiographic examination, an old amalgam restoration was seen on the occlusal surface and had reached the pulp. At the first visit, one visit endodontic was done with warm vertical condensation technique. Gutta-percha masterpoint was cut until ⅓ apical was filled and at ⅓ middle and ⅓ coronal the root canal was filled with injectable thermoplastized gutta-percha which is compacted until 2 mm below the orifice. On the next visit, gutta percha was cut as much as 2 mm and filled with core material as intraradicular retention as deep as 4 mm. Preparation is made by the butt-joint equigingival margin around the surface with a retention cavity in the middle of the pulp chamber. After the completion of tooth preparation, the impression was made with polyvinyl siloxane silicone. At the third visit, endocrown was tested to check the marginal fit and accuracy, then cemented using resin cement, and checked using radiography.<strong> Conclusion: </strong>Endocrown can serve as an alternative restoration which is conservative, have good aesthetic, functional, and minimally invasive.</em>
Background: Non-vital anterior tooth discoloration is a common concern in everyday clinics. Increased patient demand for affordable and excellent results makes bleaching treatment for discolored teeth one of the most popular treatment options. Bleaching offers a more conservative and aesthetic solution compared to treatments like dental crown. Objective: To restore the color of the upper right maxillary incisor after endodontic treatment using internal bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide. Case: A 22-year-old male patient came with a complaint of discoloration of upper right maxillary incisor. On clinical examination, upper right maxillary incisor was discolored. On radiographic examination, radiolucency was observed in the periapex. Endodontic treatment was performed with biomechanical preparation using circumferential filing technique and obturation of root canals using a thermoplastic injection technique. At the next visit, an intraoral photo was taken, and the color upper right maxillary incisor was determined using a shade guide. Intracoronal bleaching was performed using 35% hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel. After the color of upper right maxillary incisor has blend well, then the teeth were restored using a composite resin. Conclusion: Intracoronal bleaching treatment with 35% hydrogen peroxide is a conservative and aesthetic treatment to restore the color of the tooth with an excellent result.
Karies merupakan penyakit yang mengenai jaringan keras gigi. Streptococcus mutans merupakan salah satu mikroorganisme yang dapat menyebabkan karies karena memfermentasi karbohidrat menjadi asam. Zingiber officinale var. Officinarum merupakan tanaman rimpang yang banyak tumbuh di Indonesia dan memiliki daya antibakteri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh konsentrasi 6,25%, 12,5%, 25%, 50%, dan 100% ekstrak Zingiber officinale var. Officinarum terhadap jumlah koloni Streptococcus mutans. Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah eksperimental murni yang terdiri dari 7 kelompok, yaitu: konsentrasi 6,25; 12,5; 25, 50; 100%, kontrol positif, dan negatif. Kontrol positif adalah klorheksidin glukonat 0,2% dan kontrol negatif adalah dimetilsulfoksida (DMSO) 20%. Metode ekstraksi yang digunakan adalah metode maserasi dengan etanol 96%. Uji daya hambat pertumbuhan Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175, USA) dilakukan dengan metode dilusi menggunakan media Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) dan perhitungan jumlah koloni menggunakan metode hitung cawan. Data dianalisis dengan uji One-way ANOVA dan dilanjutkan dengan uji post-hoc Tukey (p<0,05). Hasil: Ekstrak Zingiber officinale var.

Introduction: Root canal treatment is a common procedure in dentistry. The main indications for root canal treatment are irreversible pulpitis and pulpal necrosis resulting from a carious process, fracture, or trauma to the tooth. The success of root canal treatment depends on various factors, one of which is post-endodontic restoration. Objective: This case report aims to demonstrate a one-visit root canal treatment followed by endocrown restoration. Case report: A 22-year-old male patient came with complaints of throbbing tooth pain in the lower right side since 1 week ago. Intra oral examination of tooth 46 showed a temporary filling on the occlusal surface. Radiographic findings showed that the crown had a radiopaque appearance reaching the pulp chamber, without periapical abnormalities. Root canal treatment was performed based on the diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis followed by endocrown restoration. Root canal treatment begins with mandibular block anesthesia and then inserts a rubber dam, opens the cavity, explores the root canal, and prepares the root canal. Biomechanical preparation was carried out using a single length technique, combined with 5.25% NaOCl irrigation, 17% EDTA, and 2% chlorhexidine. Root canal closure was performed in single visit, with the warm vertical condensation technique. The next restoration was carried out one week after root canal treatment, with an endocrown. A week later the patient came for control with no complaints. Conclusion: Root canal treatment in single visit followed by endocrown restoration was successfully carried out.
