Resesi gusi pada regio anterior rahang atas seringkali menjadi perhatian dari segi estetik, bentuk dan fungsi. Resesi dapat terjadi pada satu atau beberapa gigi dan pada satu atau beberapa permukaan, sehingga menyebabkan kehilangan perlekatan dan terbukanya permukaan akar. Tujuan laporan kasus ini mempresentasikan keberhasilan perawatan resesi gusi kelas I Miller menggunakan teknik tunneling connective tissue graft. Laporan kasus: Pasien wanita, 37 tahun, datang dengan keluhan hipersensitifitas pada gigi depan dan belakang rahang atas serta gigi-gigi terasa lebih memanjang. Pemeriksaan klinis menunjukkan resesi gusi yang bervariasi sebesar 2-4 mm tanpa melibatkan mucogongival junction yang meluas dari gigi 15 sampai 25. Terdapat tambalan glass ionomer pada daerah servikal gigi 22 sampai 24. Hasil pengukuran lebar gusi berkeratin lebih dari 3 mm. Diagnosa dari kasus ini adalah kelainan mucogingival multipel Kelas I Miller. Rencana perawatan yang akan dilakukan adalah prosedur tunneling connective tissue graft pada regio anterior labial rahang atas 22 sampai 24. Prosedur dilakukan dengan menutup bagian akar yang terbuka menggunakan connective tissue dari daerah palatal area premolar yang kemudian difiksasi dengan teknik jahitan anchorage. Perawatan ini menunjukkan hasil berupa penambahan ketebalan gusi berkeratin dan pengurangan sensitifitas akar tanpa adanya kekambuhan setelah enam bulan pasca bedah. Simpulan: Teknik tunneling dengan connective tissue graft dapat menjadi pilihan pada perawatan resesi gusi kelas I Miller dalam kasus ini berhasil menutup seluruh permukaan akar yang terbuka dan tidak terjadi relaps setelah enam bulan.

Tunnelling connective tissue graft as a treatment procedure for Miller Class I gingival recession ABSTRACT Introduction: Gingival recession in the maxillary anterior region is often becoming aesthetical, shape, and functional concern. Recession can occur on one or several teeth and one or more surfaces, causing attachment loss and the root surface opening. This case report was aimed to present the successful treatment of Miller Class I gingival recession with the tunnelling connective tissue graft technique. Case report: Female patient, 37 years old, presented with complaints of hypersensitivity in the front and back of the maxilla and elongated-teeth sensation. Clinical examination showed gingival recession varying by 2-4 mm without involving the mucogingival junction extending from teeth 15 to 25. A glass ionomer filling was performed in the cervical area of teeth 22 to 24. The measurement result was keratinised gingival width of more than 3 mm. The case diagnosis was multiple Miller Class I mucogingival abnormalities. The treatment plan performed was the tunnelling connective tissue graft procedure in the maxillary anterior labial region 22 to 24. The procedure was performed by covering the exposed root using the connective tissue from the palatal area of the premolar area, which was then fixed with an anchorage...

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the clinical assessment results of periimplant soft tissue with morse taper (internal abutment connection). Methods: The study was conducted using a rapid review by searching the articles from PubMed NCBI and Cochrane by using keywords. All articles were selected by the year, duplication, title, abstract, full-text, and finally, all selected articles were processed for final review. Following clinical parameters were included; Periimplant Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), Plaque Score (PS), modified Plaque Index (mPI), Mucosal Thickness (MTh), Gingival Height (GH), periimplant mucosal zenith, Pink Esthetic Score (PES), Bleeding On Probing (BOP), Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI), and modified Gingival Index (mGI). Results: 9 selected articles were obtained from the initial literature searching count of 70 articles. The overall samples included 326 morse taper implants. Based on the evaluation, 3 out of 4 articles reported pocket depth < 4 mm, no bleeding was reported in 2 out of 4 articles. 4 out of 4 articles reported low plaque accumulation, low soft tissue recession was reported in 3 out of 3 articles, and 4 out of 4 articles reported acceptable PES values. Conclusion: The evaluations indicate that the morse taper (internal abutment connection) has favorable assessment results based on various clinical parameters.

Prevalence of dental and oral diseases in Indonesia is high and tend to continue to increase. This study aims to determine the level of oral health knowledge of grade V and VI students at Tanjungsari III Elementary School in Sumedang City. Methods: This research is a quantitative descriptive study with cross-sectional research design using questionnaire. The study population was students at Tanjungsari III Elementary School with a total of 62 students (26 male and 36 female). Analysis of the data in this study was quantitative descriptive analysis techniques with percentages using three assessment categories, named: High, Medium, and Low. Results: The results of the study of the level of knowledge about oral health of students mostly in the medium category amounted to 69.35% with a total of 43 students. Whereas in the high category it was 14.52% with a total of 9 students, the low category was 16.13% with a total of 10 students. Conclusions: The level of  oral health knowledge of the fifth and sixth grade students of Tanjungsari III Elementary School in Sumedang was the medium category. Continuous education and preventive measures to prevent  oral diseases early were needed on elementary school students.
