Abstract: Malocclusion is one of the most common dental and oral health problems after caries and periodontal disease. Most of the malocclusions occur in adolescence and manifest as crowding teeth. Malnutrition can inhibit the growth and development of the skull and jaw bones, therefore, the permanent teeth have lack space to erupt resulting in crowding teeth. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between crowding teeth and nutritional status among adolescents in Indonesia. This was a literature review study using three databases, Google Scholar, GARUDA, and Pubmed. Keywords used were crowding, malocclusion, malnutrition, adolescent, Height for Index, BMI, nutritional status, adolescents. After being selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a critical appraisal was carried out and obtained 8 cross-sectional study literatures. The review showed that there were more literatures stating that there was no relationship between crowding teeth and nutritional status among adolescents. Apart from nutritional status, there were several other factors that could affect crowding teeth in adolescents such as bad habits, history of crowding deciduous teeth, heredity, and socioeconomic status. In conclusion, crowding teeth in adolescents is influenced by nutritional status as well as other factorsKeywords: crowding, nutritional status, adolescents. Abstrak: Maloklusi telah menjadi salah satu permasalahan kesehatan gigi dan mulut yang sering dijumpai setelah karies dan penyakit periodontal.

Bedtime Routine

Background: Oral hygiene behaviours as well as dietary habits before bed can affect children’s dental health resulting in higher prevalence of dental disease. Dental disease can affect children’s health, development and even school performance. If left untreated, dental disease can progress and it can lead to extractions under general anaesthetic causing further distress for children and families. Consistent and appropriate oral hygiene behaviours and dietary habits can prevent dental diseases from occurring in the first place. Objective: This cross-sectional study examines the relationship between oral hygiene behaviours, dietary habits around bedtime and children’s dental health. Methods: A total of 185 parents with children between the ages of 3 and 7 years from deprived areas participated in the study. Data on bedtime routine activities were collected using an automated text-survey system. Children’s dental health status was established through examination of dental charts and dmft (decayed, missed, filled teeth) scores. Results: In total, 52.4% of parents reported that their children’s teeth were brushed every night. The majority of children (58.9%) had dmft scores over zero. In total, 51 (46.7% of children with dmft score over 0 and 27.5% of all children) children had active decay. The mean dmft score for those experiencing decay was 2.96 (SD = 2.22) with an overall mean dmft score of 1.75 (SD = 2.24). There were significant correlations between frequency of tooth brushing, frequency of snacks/drinks before bed and dmft scores (r = −0.584, p < 0.001 and r = 0.547, p = 0.001 respectively). Finally, higher brushing frequency was associated with a lower likelihood of a dmft score greater than 0 (Exp(B) = 0.9). Conclusions: Despite families implementing oral hygiene behaviours as part of their bedtime routines those behaviours varied in their consistency. Results of this study highlight the need for additional studies that consider bedtime routine-related activities and especially the combined effects of oral hygiene practices and dietary habits due to their potentially important relationship with children’s dental health.

Abstract: Tooth loss which is often found among elderly may cause problems in mastication. Chewing efficiency may decrease if the elderly do not replace the function of the missing teeth by using dentures. This can further affect their nutritional intake and nutritional status. This study was aimed to explore scientific information regarding differences in elderly nutritional status of removable denture wearers and non-denture wearers. This was a literature review study by searching data on three databases, namely Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using keywords and a combination of boolean operators. After being selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a critical appraisal was performed, and 10 literatures were obtained consisting of cross-sectional, cohort, and randomized controlled trial design studies. The results showed that the percentage of the elderly with normal nutritional status was higher in denture wearers than in non-denture wearers. There was an increase in nutritional status based on MNA and MNA-SF scores in the elderly after wearing removable dentures. Among elderly, the nutritional status of denture wearers was relatively at risk of malnutrition, while of non-denture wearers was at risk of malnutrition and experienced malnutrition. In conclusion, risk of malnutrition and the occurrence of malnutrition are greater in non-denture wearer elderly.Keywords: nutritional status; elderly; tooth loss; denture wearers; removable dentures  Abstrak: Kehilangan gigi yang banyak ditemukan pada lansia dapat menyebabkan timbulnya gangguan dalam pengunyahan.

BACKGROUND: Phototherapy consists of exposure to ultraviolet radiation for therapeutic reasons. Radiation is already used in dermatological practice, and many studies have already proved the beneficial effect of UV light treatment for chronic inflammatory or lymphoproliferative skin diseases. The Dermatology Service of the Clinics Hospital of Porto Alegre (Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre) has been using phototherapy for a long time, and no official data have been described so far. OBJECTIVES: To study the prevalence of dermatoses referred to the phototherapy unit at the Clinics Hospital of Porto Alegre and describe the total number of patients who have already been referred to this sector and their phototype. METHODS: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. Data were collected through a review of the phototherapy patients' records (secondary data), which are available on a database of the Dermatology Service of the Clinics Hospital of Porto Alegre, from August 1997 to July 2011. RESULTS: A total of 653 records were analyzed. Phototype 3 was the most prevalent (n=313). Distribution of the prevalence of dermatoses referred to the phototherapy unit was as follows: vitiligo (279), psoriasis (255), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma/mycosis fungoides (29), graftversus-host disease (15), scleroderma (11), atopic dermatitis (10), alopecia areata (6), parapsoriasis (5), eczema (4), granuloma annulare (4), and others (35). As vitiligo and psoriasis were the two most prevalent dermatoses, they were analyzed separately, with no statistical difference in prevalence between them (P=0,177). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings are in accordance with the literature, showing that although phototherapy is still mostly indicated to treat psoriasis, it has been used to treat other dermatoses, since the results are promising.
