    The focus of the research is whether there is a relationship between the behaviour of pregnant mothers and the mothers of children under five and their children’s dental health and growth. This is in addition to any predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors. This study is intended to reveal the following two key points: 1) to identify the level of knowledge of pregnant women and the mother of toddlers about oral health in children under five and 2) to identify effective models of empowerment for pregnant women and the mothers of toddlers to prevent dental and oral cavity diseases in the low-income communities of East Java Province. This research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional study approach. The number of subjects totalled 300 people. The criteria of the subjects were that they were pregnant women or the mothers of children under five of a middle to lower socioeconomic status. This study revealed that the knowledge factor of the pregnant women and the mothers of children under five regarding the children\u27s dental health is not directly related to the behaviour of the mothers regarding the health of their mothers and children. Likewise, the enabling and reinforcing factors do not directly affect the behaviour of the mothers. These 3 factors (predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing), when added together, will result in maternal behaviour

    Introduction > With conventional anchorage, it is usually hard to accomplish a satisfactory result with an absolute anchorage, and this limitation could be resolved by the usage of mini-screw. The successful rate of miniscrew usage depends on its stability, which was determined by its length, bone density, cortical bone thickness, the insertion technique, the insertion angle, and the applied loads. Objective > To observe the effect of miniscrew length and bone density on anchorage resistance. Material and methods > Thirty pieces of miniscrew with 1.6 mm in diameter were divided into three groups based on its length (n = 10): 10 mm (L), 8 mm (M), and 6 mm (S). Each group was further divided into 2 sub-groups: to be planted in optimal density bovine ribs (L1, M1, S1) and to be planted in low-density bovine ribs (L2, M2, S2). The density of bovine ribs was measured by CBCT. After the insertion of miniscrews based on respective groups, tensile test was done by means of Autograf Univerval Testing Machine to measure its stability. The data recorded was analysed using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) Fisher's test. Results > The results of this study showed that L1 provided the greatest stability than other groups. On the other hand, the least stability was found in S2. Conclusion > The length of miniscrew and the density of bone affect the stability of miniscrew. In bone with optimum density, 10 mm and 8 mm miniscrew equipped good anchorage resistance while in bone with low-density only 10 mm miniscrew provided favourable anchorage resistance

    Introduction: The occlusal plane is very important in the stomatognathic and aesthetic dentofacial system. Manipulation of the occlusal plane plays an important role in class III malocclusion correction. For this reason, the strategy in establishing the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan becomes more complex, so a more comprehensive analysis of the occlusal plane inclination as a parameter of diagnosis is needed for more effective and efficient treatments. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the comparison of occlusal plane inclination between class III and class I malocclusions and to knowing the correlation of occlusal plane inclination in class III malocclusions with the direction of facial growth. Materials and Methods: Samples were secondary lateral cephalograms collected at the Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) Dental Hospital in October 2017–2018. Cephalograms were traced using the OrthovisionTM software; then, the Mann–Whitney comparative statistical test (p<0.05) was carried out followed by the canonical correlation test. Results: Differences in class III and class I malocclusions were found in the OP-AB and OP-FH angles. The OP-AB angle is the occlusal plane inclination which has the strongest correlation compared to others. OP-AB angle is strongly correlated with horizontal growth parameter, especially theSNB. The OP-AB angle is also correlated with vertical growth parameters: the Y axis and the Facial axis. Conclusion: The OP-AB angle is a parameter that can distinguish between class III and class I malocclusions. The OP-AB angle has a strong correlation with vertical and horizontal growth directions

    Mothers play an extremely important role with regards to monitoring the dental health of their children. Hormonal changes associated with pregnancy and poor oral hygiene are responsible for the development of gingivitis. Gingivitis is more common in pregnant women with pre-existing gum problems due to not following careful oral hygiene practices. Identifying mothers with poor oral hygiene and educating them on the importance of their own oral health and that of their unborn child can change previous trajectories of predicted gum disease. The research below focuses on the efforts of pregnant women to optimize the oral hygiene of children under five years of age in poorer communities within the East Java province during the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative methods are complemented by quantitative data utilizing a gender perspective. The location of this research centered on: Tomoron village, Omben district, Sampang regency; Bandung Rejosari village, Sukun district, Malang regency; and Gaji village, Kerek district, Tuban regency. The subjects of this study were specifically pregnant women and mothers who have toddlers, as well as health workers from puskesmas (community health centers) and local community leaders in poorer villages. The data were collected through interviews with 180 respondents, consisting of 60 respondents from each research location. The results of this study show: 1) Mothers\u27 knowledge of dental health and their efforts to preserve it during the COVID-19 pandemic; 2) Obstacles faced during this period, which included the lack of socializing and the prohibition on gathering within communities, and their effects on the health of mothers and children. Furthermore, limited services from puskesmas for dental health were found to be detrimental to both children and the general health of the community
