The potential for Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in clinical dentistry remains vague and inadequately explored. Objectives: The study aims to obtain insight into the development of MOOCs in Fixed Partial Dental Prostheses (FPDPs) and to assess students’ learning preferences, module quality, and interface usability. Methods: The MOOCs was created by seven academicians with prosthodontic backgrounds. After completing the MOOCs and three complementary online discussion sessions, the students (n = 89) were invited to participate in an online survey. SPSS version 23 was used to calculate the frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation of categorical data (SD). Results: A total of 84.1% of students completed the survey. Six modules with five different FPDPs topics and a single implant topic were created for this MOOCs, which consists teaching and practical modules. 94.6% of respondents agreed that MOOCs can be used to supplement traditional T&L, with 64.9% preferring MOOCs to traditional classrooms. The majority of the items received a high mean score above 4.00, indicating that the majority of respondents were satisfied with the developed MOOC’s course content, usability, and interface. Conclusion: The majority of respondents agreed that the overall course content is well-organized and expressed positive feedback on integrating MOOCs into traditional classrooms.

Chemo mechanical preparation is one of the important stages for successful endodontic treatment, and Boric acid has been proposed as an alternative irrigation solution for root canal treatment. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of irrigation with boric acid (BA) and EDTA on the mineral content and microhardness of dentin and penetration of the AH Plus root canal sealer. Methods: 63 single-rooted teeth were instrumented. Microhardness analysis, 45 teeth were cut longitudinally and then transversely to obtain dentin. Pre- and post-treatment microhardness values were measured. The samples were randomly assigned into 3 groups (n = 15) for irrigation solution: distilled water, 17% EDTA, and 5% BA. The 18 roots were irrigated with three solutions (n = 6). Nine of the roots were filled with AH-Plus for confocal laser scanning microscopy analysis, and the others were used for XRD analysis. Results: The results were evaluated with the ANOVA test. BA caused a significant decrease in microhardness value in apical and coronal parts (p < 0.05), while EDTA reduced only in coronal parts (p < 0.05). Conclusion: BA provided higher sealer penetration ability. BA reduced the microhardness and provided better sealer penetration.

Objective: Before a surgical intervention in the mandibular interforaminal area, it is important to have a full understanding of the anatomy of the mandibular anterior segment. The evaluation of anatomical structures, variations and pathologies is performed with radiological imaging methods. Today, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an imaging method which offers all the features necessary for this. In addition to its importance in surgical applications, it is also valuable in terms of anatomical studies thanks to the reliability of its measurements and the fact that it allows for a three-dimensional evaluation. The mental foramen and anterior loop are some of the most significant anatomical structures in the lower jaw. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of mental foramen according to age and gender in a Turkish population and to evaluate anterior loop length and the frequency of anterior loop. Methods: In this retrospective study, CBCT images from 148 patients (89 females and 59 males) were examined. Images of the mental foramen and interforaminal area of patients who were over 18 years of age were included in the study, while images with mandibular pathology and without occlusal closure to at least premolar teeth were excluded. Linear measurements of the mental foramen were repeated three weeks later by the same observer. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, ANOVA tests and the t-test were used to evaluate the data. Results: The morphological and morphometric features of the mental foramen, which is a characteristic structure in mandibular bone, were determined. No statistically significant difference was found between the age groups in the morphometric characteristics of the mental foramen, but a statistically significant difference was found according to gender. The most frequently detected oval shape and P3, and P4 positions were similar to the other studies conducted in Turkish populations. The prevalence of anterior loop was 58%. Conclusion: Detailed preliminary analysis focusing on anesthesia and surgical interventions is important in order to avoid possible complications

Malocclusion’s negative impact is not only limited to dentofacial appearance but also related to quality of life. Nowadays, orthodontic treatment can be done using conventional fixed appliances, or removable appliances called clear aligners. The preference for orthodontic appliances can be affected by several factors, including patient characteristics, self-perception, psychosocial, and oral-disorder factors. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the factors affecting the preference for orthodontic appliances among undergraduate students in West Jakarta. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 244 undergraduate students were retrieved by purposive sampling from 7 universities located in West Jakarta. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data, and logistic regression analysis was carried out. Results: Fixed orthodontic appliances were commonly used (79.5%), and the majority of treatment providers were orthodontists (64.8%). Students’ belief that poor dental alignment is related to decreased social attractiveness was significantly associated with the preference for orthodontic appliances (p = 0.026; 95% CI = 1.170-11.317). Orthodontic treatment provider was significantly associated with a preference for orthodontic appliances (p = 0.000; 95% CI = 0.678-3.156). Conclusion: Fixed orthodontic appliances still become the main preference for malocclusion treatment among undergraduate students in West Jakarta. Besides that, the qualification of orthodontic treatment providers affects the preference for orthodontic appliances among undergraduate students in West Jakarta.
错颌畸形的负面影响不仅限于颌面部外观，还与生活质量有关。如今，正畸治疗可以使用传统的固定矫治器，也可以使用被称为透明矫治器的活动矫治器。对正畸矫治器的偏好会受到多种因素的影响，包括患者特征、自我认知、社会心理和口腔疾病因素。研究目的本研究旨在评估影响西雅加达大学生对正畸矫治器偏好的因素。研究方法在这项横断面研究中，有目的性地从雅加达西部的 7 所大学中抽取了 244 名本科生。采用自填式问卷收集数据，并进行逻辑回归分析。研究结果学生普遍使用固定矫正器（79.5%），大多数治疗提供者是正畸医生（64.8%）。学生认为牙齿排列不齐与社会吸引力下降有关，这与他们对正畸矫治器的偏好有显著相关性（p = 0.026; 95% CI = 1.170-11.317）。正畸治疗提供者与正畸矫治器的偏好有明显相关性（p = 0.000; 95% CI = 0.678-3.156）。结论：在雅加达西部的大学生中，固定正畸装置仍然是错颌畸形治疗的主要选择。此外，正畸治疗提供者的资质也会影响西雅加达大学生对正畸矫治器的偏好。

Although thought to be uncommon, it is believed that cervicofacial actinomycosis is underreported due to frequent misdiagnosis. It has been called the “most misdiagnosed disease by experienced clinicians”. A wide range of dental procedures or trauma, including tooth eruption, may precipitate actinomycosis by enabling microorganisms to penetrate the deeper tissue layers via an entry point. This infective disease is significant due to its potentially aggressive and locally destructive nature. This case describes a patient diagnosed with cervicofacial actinomycosis. Her history prior to this was significant for proliferative verrucous leukoplakia, and T4aN0M0 (AJCC 7th Edition) squamous cell carcinoma of the right hard palate for which she received surgery and post-operative radiotherapy. The mechanism of actinomycotic infection, its presentation, differential diagnosis, and management is discussed, with review of the relevant literature. This case highlights an unusual case of cervicofacial actinomycosis and demonstrates the complexities in reaching a definitive diagnosis in cases of osteomyelitis and osteoradionecrosis with significant bacterial burden.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a genetic disease characterized by producing morphological and structural changes in tooth enamel. Objective: To highlight the morphological changes observed in teeth with hypocalcified AI based on scanning electron microscopy and microtomography analysis. Case report: An adult male had teeth seriously compromised by hypocalcified AI. The treatment plan involved removal of third molars followed by restorative and prosthetic treatment. After extraction, the teeth were analyzed by SEM and X-ray microtomography (microCT). Teeth with AI revealed the presence of microfractures arranged from the outer surface to the center of the enamel. Microfractures had a cracked or “cracked ground” pattern. SEM confirmed the presence of microfractures and distortion in the orientation of the enamel prisms in some regions. Conclusion: Teeth of patients with hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta IIIA subtype show significant structural changes that are closely related with the ease of fractures.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the position, angulation and surrounding trabecular bone structure of a unilateral impacted maxillary canine (IMC) tooth using fractal analysis. Methods: Cone beam computed tomography images of 50 patients (38 female, 12 male) with unilateral IMC were selected for this retrospective study. A 25x25 pixel region of interest (ROI) was selected in the trabecular bone between the premolars on the impacted and non-impacted side and fractal analysis was conducted. The angulation of unilateral impacted canines was measured and the position was categorized as vestibular, intra-alveolar and palatal. Results: Of the 50 impacted teeth, 42% were in the vestibular, 26% were in the intra-alveolar, and 32% were in the palatal position. The most common angulation angle of the IMC was 0°-15° which occurred in 44% of canines. While the bone fractal values did not statistically significantly differ between the sides, the values were 1.05 ± 0.9 on the impacted side and 1.04 ± 0.1 on the non-impacted side. No significant difference was observed in fractal values according to the position and angulation angles of the impacted maxillary canine (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The structure of trabeculation around the impacted canine tooth was no different than on the non-impacted side.

Midline diastema has been a popular aesthetic problem for children. Several treatment options are available, however, the use of elastic bands without other appliances for closing the diastema still remains a pressing issue in Vietnam, which could be done by the patient’s parents either themselves or under the dental practitioners’ suggestion. Objective: To report a specific case about the extensive extrusion regarding upper central incisors in a pediatric patient due to misusing the elastic band, in which management was complex due to an unfavorable situation for splinting. Case Report: Single rubber band usage for orthodontic movement in closing diastema has been an unresolved disaster in Vietnam, leading to the need for early diagnosis and immediate intervention when facing the complications. Conclusion: Significant information dissemination is paramount for long-term improvement in the oral health of pediatric patients in Vietnam and around the world.

The definition of oral leukoplakia has not much changed during the past five decades and is still a definition by exclusion of ‘known’ lesions. Therefore, a diagnosis of leukoplakia is not always a straightforward one for the clinicians and, to some extent, also for the pathologists. The traditional clinical classification in homogeneous and nonhomogeneous leukoplakia may just be simplified into leukoplakia (thin and thick/verrucous) and erythroleukoplakia. In spite of numerous reported predictive molecular and genetic parameters of malignant transformation, the presence and grade of epithelial dysplasia as assessed by histopathological examination is still the most important one. Of the various treatment modalities, surgery and CO2 laser evaporation are still the most common ones. Treatment may delay or prevent recurrence, but does not seem to prevent malignant transformation or the occurrence of cancer development elsewhere in the mouth or the head and neck region or beyond. There is a strong need for randomized prospective studies and uniform reporting of treatment results.

Treatment may delay or prevent recurrence, but does not seem to prevent malignant transformation or the occurrence of cancer development elsewhere in the mouth or the head and neck region or beyond. There is a strong need for randomized prospective studies and uniform reporting of treatment results.","PeriodicalId":53873,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dentistry Indonesia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43691513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dentistry is a highly stressful program; stress is associated with xerostomia and periodontal disease. Objective: This study aims to investigate the association of perceived stress, severity of xerostomia, and periodontal status in dental students. Methods: This was a two-phase cross-sectional study of 245 Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) undergraduate dental students. Phase 1 involved administration of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Summated Xerostomia Inventory (SXI). In phase 2, the Community Periodontal Index (CPI) was performed on 150 students to determine their periodontal status. Results: Mean PSS-10 and SXI scores were 19.6 (SD 5.47) and 7.9 (SD 2.04), respectively. Only 7.3% students had healthy periodontium while 17.3% had gingival bleeding, 65.3% had calculus, 6.7% had shallow pockets, and 3.3% had deep pockets. The association of perceived stress, severity of xerostomia, and periodontal status was not significant. Nevertheless, a significant positive correlation was found between PSS-10 and SXI scores (r = 0.318, p < 0.01). Conclusion: Most USM dental students were affected by some degree of periodontal disease, but it was not associated with perceived stress or severity of xerostomia. Students with higher perceived stress had more severe xerostomia. Information from this study could be utilised by the dental school in planning towards providing a stress-free training environment.
