- A basket of materials for 3D printed prostheses in digital dentistry
Authors: Chanchal Nenwani, Nilesh Bulbule, Varun Bhatt, Akanksha Shinde, Gayatri Balachandran, Amit Jagtap
Pages: 1 - 5
Abstract: Objective: This literature review's objective is to identify feasible materials that can be 3D printed and is utilised to create removable dentures. The review includes an overview of the properties, advantages, and limitations of different 3D printing materials, including polymers, metals, resins, ceramics, and composites. Methods: In the era of digital dentistry, additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is taking the place of subtractive manufacturing, or milling. For example, pre polymerised PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) used for subtractive manufacturing leads to more wastage of material (block) compared to additive manufacturing. Traditionally 3D printing has its roots in rapid prototyping (RP), which the name is given to the rapid production of models using additive layer manufacturing. Result: The study showed that the addition of CNCs and AgNPs to the PMMA resin resulted in a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of the printed parts. The flexural strength of the composite resin increased by up to 31.6% with the addition of 0.1 wt% AgNPs and 1 wt% CNCs. The impact strength of the composite resin also increased by up to 24.2% with the addition of 0.1 wt% AgNPs and 1 wt% CNCs. The researchers attributed the improvement in mechanical properties to the synergistic effect of CNCs and AgNPs, which enhanced the interfacial adhesion between the polymer matrix and the reinforcement particles. Conclusion: Additive manufacturing describes technologies that can be used anywhere throughout the product life cycle from pre-production (i.e. rapid prototyping) to full scale production (also known as mass production).

Pages: 6 - 10
Abstract: Objective: This study aims to establish the correlation between anterior malocclusion and phoneme articulation among children between 6 and 12 years old in Makassar, Indonesia. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 157 elementary school students aged 6-12 in Makassar City, Indonesia. The sampling method used was purposive to identify students who met specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Each student underwent an examination to determine the presence of anterior dental malocclusion and articulation check using a multi-word format consisting of phonemes. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 27. Result: The statistical tests conducted using the Chi-Square method shows a significant correlation between protrusion, diastema, deep bite, and crossbite with phoneme articulation errors, with a p-value of less than 0.05. Crowding is the most prevalent among all types of anterior malocclusion, while omissions are the most common type of phoneme articulation disorder. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that children between ages 6 and 12 in Makassar, presenting anterior malocclusion, could potentially demonstrate phoneme articulation irregularities. These may be associated with such conditions as protrusion, diastema, deep bite and crossbite.

Abstract: Objective: Orthognathic surgery is surgery on abnormalities of dentofacial that occur in the maxilla, mandible, or both. Determine measurement of the type of dentoskeletal abnormality in malocclusion using cephalometric analysis. Steiner analysis is used because it is considered that the Sela tursica-nasion-point A (SNA) angle, Sela tursica-nasion-point B (SNB) used to describe the relationship between the maxilla and the mandible. Material and Methods: The study involved 30 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery between April 2017 and April 2022 at Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung. Cephalometric radiography was utilized for assessment, employing the Steiner method to analyze various angles. Patient characteristics, including gender and age, were also observed. Parameters such as the average angle of SNA, SNB, and ANB were examined, alongside diagnoses, the number of corrected jaws, and the type of orthognathic surgery. Results: The findings indicated a predominance of male orthognathic surgery patients (63.3%), with the majority falling within the age range of 19 to 20 years (40%). Grade III malocclusion was the most prevalent diagnosis (96.7%), with double jaw correction being the most common procedure performed (90%). Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy was utilized in 93% of cases, followed by Le Fort I osteotomy in 96.7% of cases and chinplasty in 16.7% of patients. The average SNA, SNB and ANB was 83.8o, 90.6o, and -6.8o, respectively. Conclusion: The findings indicated a higher frequency of orthognathic surgery among patients diagnosed with class III malocclusion. Additionally, a notable proportion of patients underwent simultaneous orthognathic surgery on both the maxilla and mandible.

Authors: Paolo Boffano, Patrizia Zeppegno, Matteo Brucoli, Muhammad Ruslin
Pages: 18 - 21
Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to assess the anxiety trait, the anxiety state, the dental anxiety, as well as the oral health of a group of patients who were referred to a maxillofacial surgery department. Material and Method: The study was conducted between 1 May 2019 and 31 May 2019. All patients were administered the anxiety-trait and anxiety state using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory questionnaires and Corah’s Dental Anxiety Scale. Then, they were clinically examined, and a DMFT index score was calculated according to the WHO criteria and recorded for each patient. Demographics, smoking, and alcohol habits were also recorded for each patient. Result: Overall, 81 patients (52 females, 29 males) completed the study. Statistical analyses revealed a statistically significant association between occasional or daily smoking and high DMFT scores (p < 0.005). As for anxiety, a statistically significant association was observed between both high anxiety state and trait and high DMFT scores (p < 0.05), as well as between moderate or severe dental anxiety and high DMFT scores (p < 0.05). Conclusion: A higher anxiety is associated with a higher DMFT score. The assessment of dental anxiety may be necessary for routine diagnostic work-ups during dental practice. In more severe cases, a multidisciplinary approach with the aid of behavioral health or psychological professionals may be a valid option.

in Indonesia
Authors: Nursyamsi Djamaluddin, Ayub I. Anwar, Burhanuddin Pasiga, Fuad H. Akbar, Rasmidar Samad, Hasanuddin H, Yu Ri-Kim
Pages: 22 - 27
Abstract: Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the similarities of two constructs of the doctor-patient relationship in terms of trust and satisfaction among patients receiving dental care in Makassar, Indonesia. Materials and Methods: The study involved 322 participants aged 18 years or older who had received dental treatment. The snowball sampling technique was used to recruit participants through online questionnaires distributed on various social media platforms. The questionnaires included demographic information and The Dentist Trust Scale (DTS) and Dental Care Satisfaction Scale (DCS) to measure trust and satisfaction with dental care. Data analysis involved Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis using SPSS and AMOS software. Results: Trust and satisfaction are interrelated, although the relationship was insignificant (0.36). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) identified three factors in these instruments. Four models were created and evaluated using model fit analysis. All default models display a GFI value that does not correspond to the universal threshold value. Model 1 had the greatest GFI value; hence, adjustments were performed to create models 1(a) and 1(b). The updated model did not produce a more appropriate value than the default model. Model 1 was picked as the model that best matched the requirements. Conclusion: The study findings highlight the importance of trust and satisfaction in dental care experiences among patients in Makassar City. The identified factors provide insights into different aspects of the doctor-patient relationship and can be used to improve the quality of care provided.

regenerative therapy (Indonesian society of periodontology study)
Authors: Christina Callista, Adityo Widaryono, Robert Lessang, Nadhia A. Harsas
Pages: 42 - 48
Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the knowledge, perceptions, and preferences of Indonesian periodontists and resident students regarding the use of bone transplants in periodontal regeneration treatment. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study using questionnaires given to members of The Indonesian Society of Periodontology. Results: All respondents had various knowledge and preferences regarding using bone grafts in periodontal regenerative therapy. Oral hygiene and radiographic appearance are parameters that must be evaluated before regenerative procedures. The most widely chosen graft is the xenograft due to better results, biocompatibility, and bioactivity of the material. Cost is the main reason why the respondents do not use bone grafts. Bone grafts are often combined with the GTR and membrane techniques, and the granular form is the most frequently used form of graft. Bone grafts are often used in periodontitis cases with vertical bone loss followed by implant placement. Conclusion: Xenografts are the most widely used bone graft material in Indonesia. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups' perceptions of using bone grafts in periodontal regenerative therapy. Respondents were more satisfied with using bone grafts than with other materials.

- Coronally advanced flap with and without connective tissue graft in root
coverage procedure: A Case Series
Authors: Budi, Desy Situmorang, Irma Ervina, Martina Amalia
Pages: 64 - 69
Abstract: Objective: This paper aims to report the outcome of the coronally advanced flap with and without connective tissue graft in the root coverage procedure. We intend to explain the importance of connective tissue graft in coronally advanced flap surgery. Methods: Two patients with gingival recession required surgical intervention to get root coverage and improve aesthetics. Both patients were treated with a coronally advanced flap. We combined the coronally advanced flap with a connective tissue graft for the first patient's maxillary left second incisor and canine; meanwhile, we only did the coronally advanced flap for the second patient's maxillary right canine and first premolar. Results: Surgical intervention was done for both patients with good results. For the first patient with a connective tissue graft, we noticed increased thickness on the keratinized gingiva and gained 1 mm of root coverage. Meanwhile, we got full root coverage for the second patient. In this article, a patient with a connective tissue graft was observed for six months, and a patient without a connective tissue graft was observed for two years. In both cases, we noticed stable and good results. Conclusions: Coronally advanced flap procedure can be a reliable treatent for root coverage in the tooth with gingival recession. An additional connective tissue graft combined with a coronally advanced flap can increase keratinized tissue thickness.
