Penggunaan Bahan Restorasi di Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Prof. Dr. Moestopo (Beragama)/RSGM FKG UPDM (B) pada Tahun 2014-2016

Dental caries results in destruction of hard structure of teeth that causes demineralization of calcified tissue associated with destruction of organic tissue due to microorganisms and fermented carbohydrates. Dental caries can be treated with tooth resroration. There are different types of materials for dental restorations, as follows: amalgam, composite resins, and glass ionomer cement (GIC). This study was aimed to obtain the usage of restoration materials at Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Prof. Dr. Moestopo (Beragama) [RSGM FKG UPDM (B)] Jakarta from 2014 to 2016. This was a descriptive and retrospective study. Samples were obtained by using random sampling technique. There were 1322 cases categorized based on age, sex, and location of restoration. Amalgam restoration was the most common in patients aged 17-25 years and in females. Most teeth at posterior region were treated with amalgam restoration (72%). In conclusion, the most common cases were amalgam restoration, aged 17-25 years, female, and posterior location of restoration.Keywords: resin composite; glass ionomer cement (GIC); amalgam; dental caries Abstrak: Karies gigi adalah suatu penyakit infeksi yang merusak struktur keras gigi sehingga menyebabkan demineralisasi jaringan terkalsifikasi, disertai kerusakan jaringan organiknya yang disebabkan oleh aksi mikroorganisme dan karbohidrat yang dapat di fermentasi.

Amalgam restoration or just a deposit? A riveting incidental finding- a case report

Background Parafunctional oral habits are known to cause deleterious effects on maxillofacial structures. One such effect is traumatic injuries secondary to chewing inanimate objects like pencils. Following trauma, the lead of the pencil has been reported to embed in the soft tissue of the oral cavity, appearing as a grayish pigmentation (graphite tattoo). However, such pigmentation has never been reported in the hard tissue (teeth). Case presentation We hereby report an interesting, first of its kind case in a four-year-old female child. She had been misdiagnosed and referred for the management of a carious tooth; which was, in reality, an exogenous deposit. Conclusions The authors highlight the impact of comprehensive history taking on arriving at the diagnosis. Counselling of the child and the parents goes a long way in flouting such deleterious habits.

Association of age and gender of patients who underwent amalgam restoration in mandibular premolars with class 1 dental caries

The presence of dental caries is the main reason for the placement and replacement of restorations. Maintaining restorations to a satisfactory clinical condition is a big challenge for the practitioners. The aim of the study is to associate the age and gender of the patients who underwent amalgam restorations in mandibular premolars with class 1 dental caries. This was a descriptive study, where all the patients data were collected by reviewing patients records and analysing the data of 86000 patients reported from June 2019 to March 2020 to the Department of conservative dentistry and endodontics, Private Dental college and hospitals, Chennai. Data was collected and tabulated, statistical analysis was done by SPSS – IBM. In this study, we observed that there is a significant difference between the age, gender and tooth number of patients who underwent amalgam restoration in mandibular premolar with class 1 dental caries. Amalgam restoration has served the profession well, and it is very useful in restorative dentistry. Thus the use of amalgam can be continued as a material of choice if esthetics is not a concern.

Association of age and sex of patients undergoing class 2 amalgam restoration in mandibular premolars

The most versatile restorative materials in the field of dentistry are dental amalgam which constitutes 75% of all restorative materials used by dental practitioners. Due to its excellent load-bearing capacity and low costs, it is still the top priority for many dentists. In this retrospective study, the details of the 86,000 patient records were reviewed and analyzed, out of which 160 patients who had undergone class 2 amalgam restoration in mandibular premolars between June 2019 to March 2020 were included in this study. The details like age, gender, tooth number and the surface of restorations were evaluated and entered in SPSS, version 23. The data were analyzed through a chi-square test. It was observed that there is no significant association between age, and surface distribution in mandibular premolars (p>0.05), however, on analyzing the association between gender and tooth surface, the statistical significance between gender and tooth surface was found ( p <0.05). Within the limitations, the mandibular second premolars had undergone more class 2 amalgam restoration than the first premolar. Disto occlusal restoration was performed in higher numbers, followed by mesio occlusal restoration in both genders.
