Ike Damayanti Habar — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0600

The treatment of immediate partial denture has the objective of enhancing the aesthetics
of the condition and position of protrusive anterior teeth because of periodontal disorder
that would improve the face appearance. This case study was carried out on a 32-year old
female patient with protrusive and very mobile anterior teeth that obstruct the lips
closure. The diagnosis of patient was dental protrusion in upper and lower mandible
along with diastema as the result of rapidly progressive periodontitis. The treatment
implemented was the construction of immediate partial denture with extraction of the
anterior teeth. After insertion, control was performed at 24 hours, three days and seven
days. It appeared that aesthetics, occlusion, articulation, retention and stabilization was
very good.

Susilowati Susilowati, Meryl Dekaria — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0600

The orthodontic â€œfinishingâ€ phase is recognized for the many details to accomplish an
excellent result. A high percentage of finishing-phase difficulties arise because of tooth
size imbalance that could have been considered during the initial diagnosis and treatment
planning. The aim of this study was to determine whether the Bolton's analysis applies
for the crowded and non crowded dentitions. This study involved 60 subjects (30
crowded and 30 non-crowded; 29 males and 31 females). Criteria for sample selection
comprised absence of interproximal caries/filling, no residual crown-bridge restoration,
no tooth deformity, aged over 17 years, never undergone orthodontic treatment, and the
presence of teeth from right first molar through left first molar, both upper and lower.
Tooth size measurements were performed on study models. The statistical analysis used
were descriptive and t-test. The results of the study were as follows: the mesiodistal tooth
widths on males were bigger that those on females, the mesiodistal tooth widths on
crowded group were bigger than those on normal group but the difference was
insignificant statistically (p>0.05); anterior ratio in crowded group was smaller that that
in normal group; overall ratio in crowded group was bigger than that in normal group but
the difference was insignificant (p>0.05). Anterior ratio of the two groups was bigger
than Anterior Bolton Mean, it means that the discrepancy was present on the lower arch.
Overall ratio of the two groups was smaller than Overall Bolton Mean, it means that the
discrepancy was present on the upper arch.

Status jaringan periodontal dan kebutuhan perawatan jaringan periodontal pada manula Suku Bugis dan Suku Mandar

Bahruddin Thalib, Dian Angriani — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0600

Being old is a biologic process that can not be avoided, where degeneration occurs in
many ways, which finally decreases the function. These cause aging people prone to
various diseases; including periodontal disease. Prevalence and severity of periodontal
diseases vary in world population. These differences seem to be related with age, sex,
socioeconomic, education, and also ethnic and geography. This study was aimed to
investigate the periodontal tissue of aging Buginese and Mandarnese. Total samples are
390 persons (195 Buginese dan 195 Mandarnese). The condition of periodontal tissue
were checked using CPITN from WHO. Of 195 samples, 88 samples of Buginese and 55
samples of Mandarnese were edentulous. The result showed periodontal disease of
Buginese were bleeding 2.8%, tartar 39.25%, pocket of 4-5 mm depth, 50.47%, and
pocket of 6 mm depth, 7.48%. Periodontal disease of Mandarnese ethnic were bleeding
2.14%, tartar 53.57%, pocket of 4-5 mm depth 21.43%, and pocket of 6 mm depth
22.86%. Therefore, the need for periodontal treatment for aging Buginese were brushing
teeth instruct 100%, prophylaxis 97.19%, and restorative 7.46%. Aging Mandarnese;
were brushing teeth instruction 100%, prophylaxis 97.85%, and restorative 22.86%.

Kadar TNF-Î± dan IL-1Î² cairan sulkus gingiva setelah pemasangan mahkota akrilik

Edy Machmud, Roswita Roswita — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0600

Cervical margin of fixed denture either jacket crown or bridge, is usually placed
subgingivally for the natural look, however this can sometimes cause gingival
inflammation. Moreover, if the restoration material is acrylic, it sometimes can irritate
oral tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acrylic, used as fixed
denture material, to gingival tissue reaction. This was an experimental study, using pre
and post test of 5 acrylic jacket crowns, made to patients in the Prosthodontic
Department, Dental Hospital of Hasanuddin University. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)
was collected before preparation, and three weeks after insertion of the jacket crowns,
then pro-inflammatory cytokines; TNF-Î± and IL-1Î² were examined. The results analyzed
by Wilcoxon sign rank test (p<0.05). The results showed the elevation of TNF-Î± and IL1Î²

concentration after acrylic jacket crown insertion compare with the concentration
before preparation. The conclusion of this study is acrylic restoration material may cause
gingival inflammation.

Considerations of tooth extraction during pregnancy

M. Hendra Chandha — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0600

regnancy is a common sense. However, when dental care, is likely to perform in
particular tooth extraction, a dentist should be aware of any systemic changes occurred
during pregnancy that can lead to several problems in dental practice. This paper is aimed
to discuss the consideration of taking dental radiography and prescribing medicine for an
expectant mother that can't be avoided during oral surgery.

Bahan kemoterapeutik sebagai pengontrol plak dan gingivitis

Asdar Asdar — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0600

Plaque control is one of the key elements in dental practice. The proper plaque control
facilitates the health return for patients with gingival and periodontal deseases. The
concept of using chemical agents to treat such conditions in the mouth has been widely
accepted as part of dental practice for hundred of years. Chemotherapeutic agents for
local use in the oral cavity are available in many forms over the years. The various
product categories and criteria for dental practice are reviewed, and consumer selections
are suggested. To date, two agents have been accepted by The American Dental
Association (ADA) for treatment of gingivitis: chlorhexidine mouthwash and essential oil
mouthwash.

Keterbatasan radiografi panoramik dalam pengukuran ketidaksimetrisan mandibula

Barunawaty Yunus — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0600

Panoramic radiography is a technique to yield face structure photo including bone of

maxilla, mandible and supporting structures like maxilla antrum, nasal fossa, TMJ,
procesus styloideus, and os. hyoid. Panoramic radiography is also used to evaluate
asymmetrical of face. Growth and development of head is similar to the growth and
development of body in general. The skeletal morphology can be disturbed by internal
disorder of TMJ and degenerative joint disease as short ramus, a sharp angle of mandible,
and also cranial base that cause asymmetrical face. By taking accurate panoramic
radiography, the mandible asymmetrical can be measured.

Upaya untuk mengurangi preparasi gigi: Fung shell bridge

Eri H. Jubhari — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0600

Natural tooth can be replaced with many ways, for example with bridge. This kind of
denture is conventional because too much sound teeth tissue are grinded. Therefore,
many designs which grinds as minimal as possible have been tried such as Maryland and
Rochette designs. As technology develops, Fung Shell System was found. It consists of
one unit bridge called pontic which has a form of porcelain fused to metal and post
bridge. Fung bridge is easier and faster to make than conventional bridge. This article is
expected to enrich our knowledge of fung bridge which is as modification of bridge.

Penanganan fluorosis pada gigi sulung dengan menggunakan teknik mikroabrasi

Muh. Harun Achmad — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0600

Fluorosis is a pathological endemic effect of ion intake of flour which is more than 1
ppm. Enamel fluorosis is tooth enamel demineralization due to excessive flour intake
during tooth calcification period. Fluorosis is disparity of tooth which is initially marked
with a white line across the enamel surface, and at severe level can change tooth form.
Dental fluorosis is hypoplasia or hypomaturation of tooth enamel or dentine because of
chronic usage of excessive fluor at period and development of dentition. Dental fluorosis
is qualitative defect of enamel, resulted from the increase of fluor concentration at cell
microenvironment of ameloblast during development and tooth formation. Quantitative
defect of enamel can occur on severe type of dental fluorosis. Microabrasion, consist of
air abrasion and enamel microabrasion, is a method of reducing tooth structure which is
the best alternative rather than drilling method. The mechanism of air abrasion technique
is blast pressure of abrasive particles to remove tooth caries. The principle of kinetic
energy is the abrasive particles with high pressure and speed, hit the tooth, remove tooth
caries, and reduce tooth structure.
