Background: Dental erosion is irreversible and can caused by acidic soft drink consumption. Dental erosion prevention had already been done, but it still has not been satisfying since the consumption of acidic soft drink is still high. There is still no explanation about the threshold value of enamel mineral solubility and the occurance of dental erosion after consuming acidic soft drink. Purpo…
Backgrown: Enamel demineralization is a common and undesirable side effect of fixed appliance Orthodontic treatment. Many studies showed that the prevalence varied between 2-96%. There are many was to prevent demineralization and increased remineralization such as oral hygiene instruction and by topical application such as acidulated phosphate flour (APF) casein phospopeptide-amorphous calcium …
Tooth agenesis is one of the most common developmental anomalies, which one or a few teeth are absent because they have never formed, amy cause cosmetic or acclusal harm, while severe agenesis which are relativel rare relatively rare requre clinical attention to support and maintain the dental function. Molecular studies have demonstrated that tooth development is under strict genetic contro…
Indonesia is a tropical country with temperature variation. A lot of dental clinics do not use air conditioner. The room temperature influences water temperature for mixing alginate impression material. The aim of this study was to investigate the functional relationship of room temperature and initial setting time of alginate impression materials. The New Kromopan alginate (normal and fast set…
Calprotectin, a major cytosolic of lekocytes, is detected in neutrophils and monocytes/machrophages. This protein is known to be a marker for several inflamatory disease including periodontitis. In type 2 diabetea mellitus patients, the severity of periodontitis strongly thought caused decreasing of leukocytes fanction such as neutrophluls. Previous research found that the calprotectin level in…
Protein deficiency could to enamel hypoplasia and decreased level of Growth Hormone (GH). Cell proliferation and synthesis of enamel-matrix which effect the mineralization process of the tissue, are stimulated by GH. Music was reported to be able to increase GH. Objective: analyzing the effect of music exposure since prenatal on the decreased Calsium (Ca) and Phosphor (F) content of the ename…
