Catfish (Pangasius sp) is a freshwater fish that contains fatty acids and amino acids. This study explores the antimicrobial ef-fect of catfish meat extract in vitro laboratory experiment with post-test only control group design. The extraction process of fish meat was carried out by maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent. The minimum inhibitory concentration test was carried out using the liquid dilution method and the inhibition zone test was carried out using the disc fusion method. The ex-tract concentrations used were 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The results showed a cloudy appearance and no inhibi-tion zone in all tubes containing catfish meat extract tested on Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans bacteria. While in the Phorphyromonas gingivalis test, a clear appearance in the tube was found at a concentration of 50%, and an inhibition zone at a concentration of 25%. It is concluded that catfish meat extract has an anti-bacterial effect against P.gingivalis, but has no effect on S.aureus and C.albicans.

Oral health problems, especially dental caries, are the most common health problems experienced by children in Indonesia. Streptococcus mutans as the main causative agent of dental caries has the spaP gene which plays a role in the initial process of bacterial invasion. Performing PCR on children's dental plaque samples can determine the presence of the genes spaP S.mutans. Then, the existing data were statistically analyzed using the logistic regression method to assess the relationship of the genes spaP S.mutans to the severity of dental caries. From the research results, 54 samples contained the spaP gene of S.mutans. The prevalence of gene S.mutans spaP in dental plaque in children aged 3-5 years in Denpasar City was 69.2%. The statistical ana-lysis results revealed that the spaP gene of S.mutans (p=0.016) had a p<0.05. It is concluded that the variable presence of the S.mutans spaP had a significant relationship with the severity of dental caries on children aged 3-5 years in Denpasar City.

Habit is a pattern of behavior that is repeated; in the oral cavity is also known as oral bad habit and naturally occurs at the age of less than six years. Oral habit cancontinue at the age of more than six years which can cause abnormalities in the dentofacial structure. This article discusses the influence of the habit of breathing through the mouth on the shape of the face in children. With a literature review design, articles were collected using Google Scholar, Pubmed and ScienceDirectusing the keywords oral bad habit, mouth breathing, malocclusion. The selected articles are publications in 2015-2022, research subjects are children aged 6-12years, full-text available, and written in English and Indonesian. It was concluded that oral bad habits often occur in children and even in infants. Oral bad habitsinclude thumb sucking, nail biting, lip sucking, tongue pushing, and mouth breath-ing. Oral bad habits such as mouth breathing have an influence on theoccurrence of malocclusion, especially in children who are still in the growth and development stage, namely elementary school children.

The aim of this study was to know issue of the relationship between mandibular asymmetry and body posture. The literatures of mandibular asymmetry and body posture published in the last 10 years (2012-2022) which were collected from the electronic databases PubMed and Google Scholar. The data obtained was anaylized using observational, prospective, retrospective, case reports, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, showed that there is a relationship between themandibular and C2-3 with the rela-tion of the suprahyoid, hyoid bone, infrahyoid and sternocleidomastoid muscles connecting to spine. So, the changes in mandi-bular position will also change the body posture, and body posture will also affect the position of the mandibular with spinal de-formities which results in distortion of the vertebral column and asymmetrical face, shoulders, and waist. It was concluded that all studies cited in this literature review reported thatmandibular asymmetry and body posture have a reciprocal relationship.

Breathing is a vital process for the human body that occurs normally through the nose. One of the most common oral habits in children is mouth breathing. Mouthbreathing is a respiratory dysfunction that affects approximately 10-15% of the pediatric po-pulation. The etiology is multifactorial, with the most common cause is obstruction in the nasopharynx. Mouth breathing has wide-ranging consequences and involves different areas of the body, including the mouth, craniofacial development, upper and lower airway. This paper is aimed to determine the impact of mouth breathing on dentocraniofacial changes in children; using literaturestudy by collecting sources that relevant to the topic, processing data using the matrix method, and synthesizing infor-mation from journals that are used as references. It was concluded that mouth breathing habit in the children population have an impact to dentocraniofacial changes.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is the most serious cutaneous adverse drug reaction characterized by extensive detachment of epidermis and erosions of oral mucosal. Early diagnosis and proper therapy are an essential for reduction the morbidity and mortality of this disease. This article is aimed to describe the management of TEN with oral involvement accompanied candi-diasis in patient with carcinoma cervix stage III. A 53-year-old female patient with carcinomacervix stage III and diagnosed of TEN was referred to Oral Medicine Clinic with complaint of painful throughout the oral mucosa, on the lips and during swal-lowing. The patient had a medication history after 25th radiotherapy i.e. cefixime and mefenamic acid. Erythema and erosive le- sion were seen at almost of the bodymainly in back, waist and belly except on palm hand and sole. Erosion also found on the lips with hemorrhagic crusts which bleed easily. Erosive lesion andcandidiasis were seen in the labial mucosa, dorsum and late-ral of tongue, and buccal mucosa. The patient was given NaCl 0.9% for lips compress, chlorhexidinedigluconate 0.12%, hya-ruronic acid mouthwash, vaseline album, whilst therapy for candidiasis was nystatin oral suspension 100,000 IU. The pa-tient was also given education to maintain oral hygiene. It was concluded that oral lesions and candidiasis were healed after 2 weeks of therapy and the patient had significant improvement on the oral mucosal. The appropriate pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies given were successful on reducing the morbidity and mortality to the patient.

Green algae as one of the marine natural resources which is included in the main seaweed is found in many coastal areas of In-donesia. The bioactive component that acts as an antibacterial agent in green algae type Ulva lactuca is ulvan polysaccharide extract. Ulvan is a cell wall polysaccharide that accounts for 9-36% dry weight of Ulva biomass and is mainly composed of rhamnose sulfate, uronic acid (glucuronic acid and iduronic acid) and xylose. Polysaccharide ulvan extracted from Ulva lactuca can be one of the antimicrobial materials used in mouthwash in dentistry.
