The biomedical equipment in Indonesia is mostly still being imported from overseas, including a Dental LED Light Curing Unit (LCU). The need for biomedical equipment such as LED LCU is always increasing. LED LCU itself has a simple working system, so it is very possible to create LED LCU in Indonesia. This research focuses on the realization and evaluation of the wireless dental LED LCU. Wireless dental LED LCU is a type of LCU dental LED that uses a battery energy source, so it is easy to use in any condition. Selection evaluation of the frequency, duty cycle, and the irradiation duration is carried out after measurements and test on this research.

In this research, there are several types of measurements and tests carried out, such as LCU irradiance, temperature, the hardness of the polymerized material and electrical characteristics which all are carried out on 6 LCUs with two different types of Dental LEDs. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is used to control the level of irradiance at LCU. The final results of the LCU design in this study were able to produce irradiance of more than 800 mW / cm2, a temperature of no more than 50°C, and a component price of around Rp. 337,000. The LCU design has a better performance when compared to commercial LCU which has the same price range, with an optimal LCU system that is 5 seconds in duration and a duty cycle level of 0.6 or 60% that is capable of polymerizing dental resins to the standard hardness level of polymerized material."

"Orthodontic medical treatment is performed to move a tooth to the optimal position to obtain optimal occlusion. Orthodontic treatment is accompanied by mechanical stress due to orthodontic force and by psychological stress that is experienced as pain or displeasure. The purpose of this study was to identify stress marker proteins during orthodontic treatment. Levels of receptor activator of NFκB (RANKL) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were analyzed as markers of mechanical stress, and levels of chromogranin A (CgA) and amylase in whole saliva were analyzed as markers of psychological stress. GCF was collected from control and experimental teeth at initiation of treatment and 24 h after treatment. Whole saliva was collected before treatment, at initiation of treatment and 24 h after treatment. RANKL was expressed at 24 h after treatment in the experimental GCF, but not in the control GCF. HSP70 appeared to be constitutively expressed in GCF, and its levels showed no major change between the control and experimental groups from initiation of treatment to 24 h after treatment. Amylase activity in whole saliva was enhanced at 24 h after treatment compared to control, but CgA levels showed little change between the groups. These results indicated that RANKL and amylase may be the candidate markers for mechanical and psychological stress, respectively, during orthodontic treatment, even though the total protein concentration and amylase activity displayed a large standard deviation among subjects. Further studies are therefore required to establish these markers for clinical use."

Background: Orthodontic treatment, aimed at correcting malocclusion and improving dentofacial aesthetics and function, requires active patient involvement to achieve optimal outcomes. The role of patients has become increasingly significant with the adoption of Shared Decision Making (SDM), which promotes patient participation in treatment decisions. Supported by effective communication and self-management education, SDM offers opportunities to enhance patient satisfaction, compliance, and clinical outcomes, despite challenges in its implementation. Discussion: SDM provides numerous benefits, including increased patient knowledge, stronger relationships between patients and orthodontists, and more efficient resource utilization. Effective communication, both verbal and nonverbal, plays a critical role in building trust and delivering clear information. Self-management education also makes a significant contribution by helping patients understand their responsibilities in maintaining oral hygiene during treatment, reducing iatrogenic risks, and fostering long-term healthy habits. Summary: Active patient involvement in orthodontic treatment is key to achieving long-term success. Strengthening SDM, effective communication, and self-management education can significantly improve treatment outcomes."

"Latar belakang: Maloklusi merupakan bentuk penyimpangan oklusi ideal dan menjadi masalah gigi dan mulut dengan prevalensi tertinggi ketiga di dunia. Berdasarkan data Riskesdas 2018, proporsi penduduk Indonesia yang melakukan perawatan ortodonti untuk mengatasi maloklusi masih sangat rendah yaitu hanya 0,3%. Rendahnya proporsi tersebut kemungkinan disebabkan berbagai faktor seperti pengetahuan, motivasi, dan hambatan. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan, motivasi, dan hambatan terhadap perawatan ortodonti pada mahasiswa Universitas Indonesia Metode: Studi analitik observasional potong lintang pada 318 mahasiswa Universitas Indonesia Angkatan 2017. Instrumen yang digunakan yaitu tiga buah kuesioner tentang pengetahuan, motivasi dan hambatan melalui adaptasi lintas budaya.
