Eruption gingivitis is an inflammation that occurs when the teeth erupt which is often associated with difficulty in tooth eruption and will subside after the teeth emerge in the oral cavity. The purpose of this study was to determine the process of gingivitis du-ring tooth eruption in children. The inflammatory process ofgingiva will show a change in the color of the gingiva such as be-coming red, swelling of the gingiva, and a distinctive surface texture. Eruption gingivitisassociated with the eruption of primary and permanent teeth, the accumulation of plaque, material alba and calculus due to poor oral hygiene, and the gingivalmargin did not receive adequate protection due to the contour of the crown during the early phase of eruption or active growth. The most effective way toprevent gingivitis is by controlling plaque regularly such as brushing teeth twice a day, using dental floss, using toothpaste that contains anti-plaque, maintaining oral health and visiting the dentist at least every 6 months.

One-visit root canal treatment (OV-RCT) aims to preserve damaged teeth by fulfilling the principles of the endodontic triad (cleaning and shaping, sterilizationand root canal obturation) which are completed in OV; the advantage is lower risk of bacterial contamination, shorter time without compromising the quality oftreatment results. This case report discusses OV-RCT of man-dibular right second molar. A 23-year-old woman with a diagnosis of asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis in the mandibular mo-lar, radiographically showed slight widening of the periodontal ligament. One-visit RCT was performed using Protaper Next ro-tary files on the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual roots up to X2 files (#25/06) and X3 files (#30/07) on the distal roots. The root canals were irrigated using 5.25%NaOCl and 17% EDTA. The root canal filling technique was carried out using a single cone technique using an epoxy resin sealer and gutta percha material. The treatment was successfully carried out. It was concluded that OV-RCT of the right lower second molar showed success both clinically and radiographically.

The fiber that is most often used in dentistry is E-glass fiber, but in Indonesia E-glass fiber dental is limited by quantity and relatively expensive. E-glass fiber non dental was chosen as an alternative because the composition is almost the same as E-glass fiber dental and commonly used in the engineering world as a booster in the manufacture of gypsum panels, sculptures and automotive components. This study is aimed to determine the color stability difference between fiber reinforced composite (FRC) E-glass fiber dental and E-glass fiber non dental. This quantitative research is an experimental laboratory with a one group pretest and posttest research design. The sample is circular in shape with diameter 13 mm and height 2 mm consisted of E-glass fiber dental group and the E- glass fiber non dental group consisting of 4 samples for each group and given silane. After the color test using Spectrophotometer UV-Vis where the absorbance and wavelength values obtained will be calculated for the area so that the L*a*b* value and analysed using independent sample t-test, it was stated that there was no significant difference between the color of the fiber reinforced composite E-glass fiber dental and the E-glass fiber non dental. It is concluded that the use of E-glass fiber non dental can be used as a clinical standard because it has a good color stability value similar to that of E-glass fiber dental.

Several improvements to the metal cast framework have been suggested since resin-bonded fixed partial dentures was introdu-ced. Essentially, there are twotypes of retainer designs based on retention namely macromechanical retention with a perforated retainer commonly referred to as Rochette bridge and micromechanical retention derived from the etched metal cast retainer called as Maryland bridge. This study is aimed to compare the tensile bond strength of anadhesive cement resin to an etch and perforated resin-bonded bridge. Using experimental laboratory design, the sample tested consisted of 10 plates Ni-Cr alloy,13 mm in diameter and 1 mm in thickness were divided into two treatment groups; five plates were perforated, and five plates were etched using Met-Etch Gel. Tensile strength was determined using an Ametek Llyod Instrument. The result showed that the strength of resin adhesive cement on the metal surface of alloyNi-Cr used etch higher than perforated. Statistical analysis used student t-test recorded t-test 2.75 and p-value 0.0125, so it said significant differences becausep-value was smaller than 0.05. This study showed that etch cast metal retainers were more retentive than perforated design.

Erythema multiform (EM) is an acute and recurrent hypersensitivity reaction that occurs on the skin and oral mucosa. EM's risk factors include viral infections,drugs, radiation, autoimmune diseases, foodstuffs, and chemicals. Various bee products such as propolis, honey, and bee pollen are believed to have therapeutic effects for various diseases but can trigger allergic reactions. A 31-year-old female patient came to the Oral Medicine clinic with swollen and bleeding lips 2 weeks ago. The patient initially felt her lips were dry and exfoliate, then smeared her lips with honey but they became swollen and painful. The patient felt itchy on hertongue after consuming honey a few months ago. Clinical examination showed edema accompanied by erosive lesions, and ulcers, tend to bleed hemorrhagic crusts on the upper lip to the upper labial mucosa and lower lip. Laboratory examination showed IgE titer increased fourfold, IgG and IgM anti-HSV-1 were negative. The diagnosis was erythema multiforme. The therapy given is 0.9% NaCl compress on the lips using sterile gauze, applying topical corticosteroids to the lips, and educating the patient to not use and consume honey or other bee products. The patient recovered without scarring after two weeks of therapy. It was concluded that honey can be a risk factor for the emergence of EM, so it is very important to eliminate risk factors for the management and prevention of EM recurrence.

Good oral and dental hygiene is a challenge for orthodontic patients because food is easily trapped around brackets and under the arches of braces, thus becoming a barrier to brushing teeth. An effective way to get rid of plaque is to use a toothbrush regularly, to keep your teeth and mouth clean and healthy. This study was intended to determine the difference in dental and oral hygiene status between orthodontic and conventional toothbrush users in fixed orthodontic treatment.The results of the analysis of 6 articles are that the use of orthodontic toothbrushes is more effective than conventional toothbrushes in removing plaque. Or-thodontic toothbrushes can also provide a significant plaque reduction effect on fixed orthodontic appliance users. Orthodontic toothbrushes did not show any difference in removing plaque compared to conventional toothbrushes. It was concluded that there were differences in dental and oral hygiene status between orthodontic and conventional brush users in fixed orthodontic treatment.
