Measurement of the lower canine pulp chamber through periapical radiography for age estimation
Objectives: The principle of measurement using the TCI (Tooth Coronal Index) method is to compare the pulp chamber height with a person's chronological age based on the formation of secondary dentin. The purpose of this study is to estimate age based on pulp chamber height in lower canines using periapical radiographs with TCI measurement.
Materials and Methods: This study is an observational analytic study using 42 samples of periapical radiographs with the parallel technique of the lower canines. Samples were measured for CH and CPCH heights to determine TCI values and then linear regression was made to determine their biological age. Finally, the difference between biological and chronological age is calculated to determine the approximate age.
Results: The mean difference between chronological age and biological age was ± 5.05 years and an average biological age of 29.38 years.
Conclusion: TCI method based on pulp chamber height in lower canines using periapical radiographs can be used to estimate age with the difference between chronological age and biological age of ±5.05 years
Distribution Of Clinical Cases of Referral Patients for CBCT-3D Radiographic Examinations at RSKGMP Universitas Airlangga
Introduction: CBCT-3D (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is an advanced radiographic imaging technology that is currently being developed and utilized in dentistry, with the advantages of accurately depicting three-dimensional (3D) tissue structures, minimal distortion, and low radiation dose. RSKGMP Universitas Airlangga is an educational dental hospital and one of the few hospitals in Surabaya city and also East Java Province that provides CBCT-3D examination services for various cases- thus becoming a referral center for the radiographic examination in the region. A lot of clinical case referrals have been recorded, but no one has researched the distribution of clinical cases referred for CBCT-3D examination. Objective: This study is aimed to determine the distribution of clinical cases referred for CBCT-3D radiographic examination at RSKGMP Universitas Airlangga based on origin, age, and gender. Methods: This study is a descriptive study with a sample of all clinical case medical records, CBCT-3D examination reference data at RSKGMP Universitas Airlangga from July 2015 to March 2020, which met the sample criteria.

Statistical analysis was test using Levene test for
variance homogeneity and normality test with the Saphiro-Wilk test. If the data is normally distributed then a different test is performed using the t-test (p<0.05).
There was a significant difference in the expression of SDF1-CXCR4, and VEGF (p<0.05) in BMMSCs cells culture between two groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: G. mangostana peel extract is able to induce the expression of a number of proteins, growth factors and chemokines, such as VEGF, CXCR4, and SDF-1
Combination of anthocyanin ternatin and hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate coralline as a socket preservation biomaterial in dental implant: A narrative review
Background: Tooth extraction is surgical treatment with clinical manifestation is alveolar bone resorption of 11-63%
which potentially fails dental implant treatment. Socket preservation is bone regeneration treatment to minimize bone
morphological changes in post-extraction using bone graft. Anti-inflammatory biomaterial is needed to modulate
inflammatory cascade in the lesion. Anthocyanin ternatin is a flavonoid derived from butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) as
an anti-inflammatory and antioxidants agent. Hydroxyapatite/β-Tricalcium Phosphate coralline (HA/β-TCP coralline)
is a combination of bioceramic material from calcium carbonate heating of Porites spp. coral which has potential to
induce osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction. Combination of Anthocyanin ternatin and HA/β-TCP
coralline applied to the defect area in dried powder form to induce hard tissue regeneration.
Purpose: To describe the potential of combination of Anthocyanin ternatin and HA/β-TCP coralline as a socket
preservation biomaterial in dental implant.
Review: Combination of Anthocyanin ternatin and dried powder HA/β-TCP coraline is applied in dental socket.
Anthocyanin ternatin suppresses ROS and iNOS then inhibit NF-kB signaling pathway. Downregulation of the pathway
decreases TNF-α and IL-1β/6 expression so the expression of RANKL is inhibited. Lowering of ROS followed by
upregulated Ca2+ level from HA/β-TCP coralline causes the increase in DKK1 and PTEN expression so Akt and Wnt
expression is induced. Upregulation of the proteins induces the BMP2/TGF-β/Smad1/5/8 signaling pathway
activation manifest in the increase of Runx2, OCN, and Osx then the preosteoblast differentiation to osteoblast is
increased.
Conclusion: Combination of Anthocyanin ternatin and HA/β-TCP coralline is potential as socket preservation
biomaterial in dental implant
