Nano glass ionomer cement (GIC) with nano zirconia as a raw material called zirconium is a newly developed type of restoration/tooth filling material that is used in dentistry. Objective: To examine the effect of carbonated beverages on the surface roughness of Zirconomer and GIC filling materials and determine if there was any difference between them. Methods: This is a true-experimental laboratory research study with a pre-posttest group design. The research samples consisted of 32 samples, 16 GIC samples and 16 Zirconomer samples, further divided into four time-sensitive groups: day 1, day 3, day 5, and day 7. The samples were immersed in artificial saliva and carbonated beverages for 24 hours. Surface roughness was measured using a surface roughness tester. Results: The average surface roughness from day 1 to day 7 of the GIC material immersed in carbonated beverages was 4.17 μm, which is higher than the average surface roughness of Zirconomer (3.091 μm), and the difference was significantly different (pConclusion: Zirconomer was found to be more resistant to carbonated beverages than GIC. There was a positive correlation between the length of immersion time in the carbonated beverages and the surface roughness of GIC and Zirconomer.
Background: Composite resin is the tooth-colored restorative material which most of the people are fond of due to their aesthetic value. The composite resin discoloration may happen because of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Soda water is one of the beverages which can cause the composite resin discoloration. Purpose: The study was aimed to determine the effect of soda immersion on nano hybrid composite resin discoloration. Methods: The study was an experimental laboratory study using 100 shade A3 nano hybrid composite resin specimens with the diameter of 5 mm and density of 2mm. The samples were divided into 5 groups, each group was immersed in different beverages. The beverages were mineral water; lemon-flavored soda; strawberry-flavored soda; fruit punch-flavored soda; and orange-flavored soda for 3, 7, 14 and 21 days respectively, in the temperature of 37 o C. The discoloration measurement utilizes Spectrophotometer, Vita Easy Shade, and uses CIEL*a*b* method. results: The result showed that the duration of immersion in soda had an effect on the Nano hybrid composite resin discoloration. Strawberry and fruit punch-flavored soda were the most influential components toward the discoloration. Nevertheless, the generally-occurred discoloration was clinically acceptable (∆E ≤ 3,3). Conclusion: The study suggested that the soda immersion duration has effect on Nano hybrid composite resin discoloration.
Latar Belakang: Kesehatan rongga mulut pada anak tunanetra cenderung buruk karena tidak dapat mendeteksi gejala awal inflamasi gigi melalui indra penglihatan. Pemberian materi penyuluhan kesehatan gigi dan mulut dengan Braille merupakan penyesuaian agar anak tunanetra dapat memahami kesehatan rongga mulut dengan lebih baik. Tujuan: Mereview peran teks Braille terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan kesehatan gigi dan mulut anak tunanetra. Metode: Literature review bersumber dari 7 jurnal yang didapat melalui database online dengan kata kunci visually impaired children OR blind children AND Braille AND dental health education AND oral hygiene OR oral health knowledge. Hasil: Tingkat pengetahuan awal anak tunanetra terhadap sesama siswa tunanetra adalah rendah dan/atau sedang, sehingga potensi adanya peningkatan pengetahuan kesehatan gigi dan mulut dapat tercapai saat anak tunanetra berhasil untuk memahami penyuluhan yang diberikan dalam teks Braille. Kesimpulan: Pamflet atau booklet Braille diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan kesehatan gigi dan mulut anak tunanetra dengan efektif.
Background: Endodontists often have difficulty in the management of endo-perio cases, because they cannot visually detect the condition of outer root surfaces, especially in bucco-lateral roots. The bone defect is rare and its treatment needs collaboration of endodontists and periodontists. An endodontist treats cases based on dental history, radiograph of root canals to measure root canals, to uncover abnormalities and to diagnose, but as the endodontists cannot directly see the affected parts, the unseen portion of the tooth could only be seen after flap surgery. Purpose: This case presents the importance of multidisciplinary approach by the endodontist and periodontitis to treat bucal plate perforations in endo-perio cases. Case: The first patient, a 47-year-old female had endodontic treatment and a porcelain crown restoration; however, after several months she felt pain. The second patient, a 45 year-old female had endodontic treatment and after six months she feel painful. Case management: The first patient, was referred to a periodontist. The opening flap surgery has been done, a bone defect was found in tooth 45. Subsequently, the exposed crater was filled with a bone graft and the pain disappeared. The second patient, with improper endodontic treatment. The flap surgery was conducted, there was found a bone defect in tooth 36. The last treatment, a bone graft has been covered and then the pain was not present. Conclusion: Proper diagnosis and treatment of perforations on the buccal aspect of a root was able to eliminate pain and avoid tooth extraction.
Latar Belakang: Penyakit inflamasi kronis rongga mulut prevalensi tinggi di Indonesia adalah periodontitis. Diabetes melitus dapat meningkatkan keparahan penyakit periodontal sehingga memicu peningkatan jumlah neutrofil. Alternatif pengobatan obat herbal adalah dari biji pepaya (Carica papaya L.) yang mengandung flavonoid dan fenol. Nanoliposom digunakan untuk meningkatkan efisiensi penetrasi liposom sehingga dapat menembus berbagai membran lipid dengan baik dan melindungi pengiriman obat tepat ke jaringan periodontal. Tujuan: Mengetahui pengaruh nanoliposom ekstrak etanol biji pepaya 96% terhadap jumlah neutrofil pada model diabetik periodontitis tikus Sprague Dawley. Metode: Hewan coba diinduksi LPS P. gingivalis pada sulkus gingiva, serta injeksi STZ dan nikotinamid. Kelompok penelitian dibagi menjadi 3 kelompok perlakuan terdiri dari kelompok kontrol (K), aplikasi ekstrak etanol biji pepaya 96% (P1), dan aplikasi nanoliposom ekstrak etanol biji pepaya 96% (P2) sekali sehari dosis 0,5 ml secara oral dan 0,03 ml diteteskan pada sulkus gingiva, terbagi atas 3 time series; hari ke-3, 7, dan 14. Pengamatan jumlah neutrofil menggunakan pewarnaan HE. Data yang diperoleh diuji statistik. Hasil: Berdasarkan uji one-way ANOVA (p<0.05), terdapat perbedaan signifikan pada kelompok K, P1, dan P2. Rerata neutrofil terendah, yaitu P2 dengan aplikasi nanoliposom ekstrak etanol biji pepaya 96% sekali sehari dosis 0,5 ml oral dan 0,03 ml diteteskan pada sulkus gingiva. Kesimpulan: Terdapat pengaruh pemberian nanoliposom ekstrak etanol biji pepaya 96% terhadap jumlah neutrofil, serta terdapat perbedaan penurunan jumlah neutrofil yang signifikan hari ke-3, 7, dan 14 pada Kelompok K, P1, P2.
