"Latar belakang: Kehilangan dukungan gigi yang melibatkan dukungan oklusal baik pada satu atau kedua sisi rahang merupakan faktor risiko terjadinya Gangguan Sendi Temporomandibula. Tidak adanya dukungan gigi posterior dapat mengganggu mastikasi dan mempengaruhi asupan serta status nutrisi pasien pra lansia dan lansia. Pembuatan gigi tiruan lepasan diharapkan dapat memperbaiki fungsi mastikasi dan merawat gangguan sendi temporomandibula sehingga asupan dan status nutrisi meningkat. Tujuan: Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh pemakaian gigi tiruan, gangguan sendi temporomandibula, asupan serta status nutrisi. Metode: Studi kuasi eksperimen pada 28 partisipan (≥45 tahun) dengan kehilangan gigi posterior indeks Eichner B2 sampai C2 yang diambil menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling, kemudian dibuatkan gigi tiruan di Rumah Sakit Gigi Mulut Universitas Indonesia. Pemeriksaan klinis dilakukan dan digunakan DC/ TMD untuk mendiagnosis gangguan sendi temporomandibula, Semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) digunakan untuk mengukur asupan nutrisi (Kkal), dan Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form(MNA-SF) digunakan untuk menilai status nutrisi saat sebelum dan setelah 4, 8, dan 12 minggu pemakaian gigi tiruan.Hasil Penelitian: Terdapat pengaruh pada lama pemakaian gigi tiruan terhadap asupan nutrisi pra lansia dan lansia dengan gangguan sendi temporomandibula. Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna pada asupan nutrisi partisipan dengan gangguan sendi temporomandibula dan non gangguan sendi temporomandibula. Uji Repeated ANOVA digunakan untuk mengukur asupan nutrisi seiring dengan lama pemakaian gigi tiruan dan signifikan secara statistik (P<0.05). Terdapat perbedaan bermakna pada status nutrisi antara kelompok gangguan sendi temporomandibula dan non gangguan sendi temporomandibula sebelum pemakaian gigi tiruan. Status nutrisi partisipan signifikan secara statistik pada 4 dan 12 minggu setelah pemakaian gigi tiruan. Kesimpulan: Pemakaian gigi tiruan meningkatkan asupan dan status nutrisi pra lansia dan lansia pasien gangguan sendi temporomandibula.

Background: Missing posterior teeth that resulted in the loss of occlusal support on one or both side of dental arch were found to be risk factors for TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder). Posterior tooth loss can cause disruption of mastication as well as affect nutrition intake and nutritional status of pre-elderly and elderly patients. Denture replacement may improve mastication, as a TMD therapy, and improve nutrition. Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between effect of denture wearing, TMD, nutrition intake, and nutritional status. Methods: Quasi experimental study was conducted on 28 patients (≥45 years old) with missing posterior teeth index Eichner classification B2 until C2 who will be treated with dentures at the Dental Hospital Faculty of Dentistry Universitas Indonesia using a consecutive sampling technique. Oral examination was done. DC/ TMD was used to diagnose Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD), the Semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used to measure nutrition intake (Kcal), and Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF) was used to measure nutritional status at baseline and after 4, 8, and 12 weeks of denture wearing. Results: There was significant difference of nutrition intake on TMD groups before and after denture wearing. There is no significant difference between nutrient intake of TMD and non TMDgroups. Repeated ANOVA to measure nutrition intake with period of denture wearing was significant statistically (P<0.05). There was significant difference in nutritional status between TMD and non TMD groups before denture wearing. Nutritional status all subjects was significant statistically at 4 and 12 weeks after denture wearing. Conclusions:Denture wearing improves nutrition intake and nutritional status of pre- elderly and elderly TMD patients."

"Occlusal splint is commonly used for treatment of the temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). It can be made of hard and soft material. Hard occlusal splint (HOS) which was known earlier had been recognized more effective then soft occlusal splint (SOS) which recently gained some popularity. This clinical study based on case series was to detemined which type of occlusal splint was more effective for TMD. This study involved 20 subjects and they were divided into HOS and SOS group with 10 subjects in each group. HOS was processed with heat curing acrylic and SOS with vacuum former. Before and after 4 weeks of treatment, 5 TMD symptoms (impaired range of movement, impaired TMJ function, muscle pain, TMJ pain and pain on movement of mandible) were measured using Helkimo diagnostic index. The results were analyzed with Kolmogorov-Smimov Z's test. The findings showed statistically significant improvement in impaired range of movement and muscle pain in favor of HOS group(p<0.05). Although they were not statistically significant, HOS group showed better improvement than SOS group in TMJ pain and pain on movement of the mandible. In TMJ's function, no changes werefound in both groups. In general, HOS was more effective than SOS for treating TMD in relatively short period of time. Despite of the phenomena, the popularity of SOS was not followed with its effectiveness."

"Pada tahun 2016, hasil penelitian The Tobacco Atlas melaporkan bahwa 66 pria di Indonesia adalah perokok. Penelitian epidemiologi telah melaporkan bahwa merokok tembakau berhubungan dengan nyeri pada gangguan muskuloskeletal. Beberapa penelitian telah melaporkan bahwa merokok tembakau berhubungan dengan temporomandibular disorders TMD , yang memiliki gejala diantaranya nyeri musculoskeletal, clicking, dan keterbatasan buka mulut. Namun, penelitian seperti ini belum pernah diteliti di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan kebiasaan merokok tembakau dan derajat keparahan nyeri pada pasien TMD. Sejumlah 54 subjek diperiksa dan dibagi menjadi dua kelompok: merokok tembakau dan tidak merokok; kemudian, perokok dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok menjadi: perokok ringan, perokok sedang, dan perokok berat. Diagnosis ditegakkan berdasarkan Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibula Disorders DC/TMD aksis I dan derajat keparahan nyeri TMD diukur melalui Visual analog scale VAS . Data dianalisis menggunakan Kruskal Wallis dan Post Hoc Mann-Whitney. Hasil penelitian menunjukan terdapat perbedaan bermakna dari derajat keparahan nyeri TMD yaitu pada kelompok perokok dibandingkan kelompok tidak merokok, dan terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara derajat keparahan nyeri TMD dan jumlah rokok yang dikonsumsi. Kebiasaan merokok tembakau merupakan faktor yang mempengaruhi derajat keparahan nyeri TMD, sehingga kontrol terhadap kebiasaan merokok tembakau harus dipertimbangkan dalam merawat TMD pada pasien perokok.

In 2016, The Tobacco Atlas reported that 66 of males in Indonesia were cigarettes smoker. Epidemiologic studies have suggested that smoking might be associated with musculoskeletal pain. Some studies have reported that there was a relationship between cigarettes smoking and Temporomandibular Disorders TMD , since the sysmptom could be musculoskeletal pain, clicking, and limitation on opening. But this kind of study have not yet been done in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of cigarette smoking on pain severity in TMD patients. Study was done on 54 TMD patients. They were first divided into two groups smokers and non smokers. Then, smokers were further divided into three subgroups light, moderate, and heavy smokers. The subjects were diagnosed according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibula Disorders DC TMD Axis I and the TMD pain was derived from Visual Analog Scale VAS . All the collected data were analysed using Kruskal Wallis and Post Hoc Mann Whitney. It has been shown that the TMD pain severity was significant higher in smokers compared to non smokers, and a significant relationship was found between pain severity and the number of cigarettes smoked in a day by each subject. Smoking seems to be a relevant factor affecting the TMD pain severity, thus, control of smoking habits should be considered when treating TMD patients. "

"Gangguan sendi temporomandibula (GSTM) adalah istilah untuk Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), yaitu kumpulan gangguan yang melibatkan sendi temporomandibula, otot, dan struktur di sekitarnya. Dokter gigi dan dokter gigi spesialis merasakan hambatan dalam menangani pasien GSTM. Saat ini belum diketahui bagaimana pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku dokter gigi dan dokter gigi spesialis di Indonesia dalam menangani pasien GSTM. Etiologi GSTM multifaktorial dan salah satu penanganannya adalah perawatan ortodonti. Namun di sisi lain perawatan ortodonti diduga menjadi salah satu penyebab GSTM akibar perubahan posisi gigi, mandibula, dan letak kondil. Hal ini dapat dilihat melalui kondisi klinis dan radiograf sefalometri. Gangguan sendi temporomandibula dapat menjadi suatu inflamasi sehingga biomarker inflamasi banyak diteliti. Tujuan: Penelitian ini terdiri dari dua tahap. Penelitian tahap I (Kualitatif) bertujuan mendapatkan alat ukur/kuesioner kemampuan operator (dokter gigi dan dokter gigi spesialis) tentang pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku terhadap pasien dengan GSTM, yang valid dan reliabel. Penelitian tahap II (Kuantitatif) bertujuan memperoleh indeks prediksi risiko GSTM berdasarkan kemampuan operator (skor kuesioner), kondisi klinis terkait faktor klinis (usia, jenis maloklusi, overjet, overbite, dan indeks etiologi GSTM), kondisi klinis terkait faktor mekanis (jenis bracket, kasus ekstraksi, dan alat tambahan), radiograf sefalometri (sudut ANB, SN-MP, Go Angle, I-I dan Y-Axis), dan biomarker inflasi (IL-1β dan CRP) Metode: Penelitian disetujui Komite Etik Kedokteran Gigi, FKG-UI, No: 11/Ethical Approval/FKGUI/III/2022 dan dilakukan di Klinik Ortodonti dan Laboratorium Biologi Oral, RSKGM, FKG UI, Jakarta, Indonesia, pada November 2021-Januari 2024.

The temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of disorders involving the temporomandibular joint, muscles, and surrounding structures. Dentists or dental specialists often encounter challenges when dealing with TMD patients. It is unknown how the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of dentists and dental specialists in Indonesia are in dealing with TMD patients. The etiology of TMD is multifactorial and one of the treatments is orthodontic treatment. On the other hand, orthodontic treatment is thought to be one of the causes of TMD due to changes in the position of the teeth, mandibles, and the location of the condyle. This can be seen through clinical conditions and cephalometric radiographs. Temporomandibular joint disorders can become inflammatory so inflammatory biomarkers are widely studied. Objective: The research consists of two stages. Phase I (Qualitative) aims to obtain a measurement/questionnaire of operator’s ability (dentists and dental specialists) about knowledge, attitudes, and behavior towards patients with TMD (PSP-TMD Questionnaire), which is valid and reliable. Phase II (Quantitative) aims to obtain TMD risk prediction index based on operator capability (PSP-TMD questionnaire score), clinical conditions related to clinical factors (age, malocclusion type, overjet, overbite, and TMD etiology index), clinical conditions related to mechanical factors (bracket type, extraction case, and auxiliary tools), cephalometric radiographs (ANB, SN-MP, Go Angle, I-I and Y-Axis angles), and biomarkers of inflammation (IL-1β and CRP) Method: The research was approved by the Dental Ethics Committee, FKG-UI, No: 11/Ethical Approval/FKGUI/III/2022 and conducted at the Orthodontics Clinic and Oral Biology Laboratory, RSKGM, FKG UI, Jakarta, Indonesia, in November 2021-January 2024. Phase I involves creating questionnaires through literature review, observation, and focus group discussion (FGD) by 10 dentists and dental specialists. The FGD results were analyzed using the Framework method followed by face and content validity tests using Aiken's V, I-CVI, and I-CVR analysis. Questionnaires were tested using validity tests (Spearman correlation) and reliability tests (Cronbach's Alpha and CITC). Every stage and testing related to the substance is discussed and revised by experts. The final questionnaire (PSPGSTM Questionnaire) was tested on 370 respondents and Orthodontics residents (operators) who treated subjects in phase II research. The phase II study was conducted on 105 subjects of orthodontic post-treatment patients who were called back to sign an informed consent and fill in the TMD etiology index, DC/TMD examination, and buccal mucosal swabs. Other data were supplemented from questionnaire scores, medical records, and cephalometric radiographs. Bivariate analysis was performed to see the relationship of each variable with TMD and multivariate multiple logistic regression. Results: The PSP-TMD measurement tool/questionnaire contained 73 statements, consisting of 50 knowledge domain statements, 14 attitude domain statements, and nine behavior domain statements. The knowledge domain consists of 12 sign and symptom subdomain statements, 14 etiology subdomain statements, 11 diagnosis subdomain statements, and 13 treatment subdomain statements. The PSP-TMD questionnaire has good validity and reliability. The TMD risk prediction index was generated with four predictor factors, namely the TMD etiology index, auxiliary tools, SN-MP, and Go Angle. Conclusion: The capability of dentists and dental specialists regarding knowledge, attitudes, and behavior towards patients with TMD can be measured using the PSP-TMD questionnaire. The TMD risk prediction index consisting of the TMD etiology index, auxiliary tools, SN-MP, and Go Angle can be used to predict risk factors for TMD"

"Latar Belakang: Gangguan sendi temporomandibular (TMJD) merupakan penyebab utama nyeri non-odontogenik di regio oro-fasial. Diagnosis dini dari TMJD penting dilakukan, namun kesadaran diri akan TMJD masih terbilang rendah. TMJD juga terjadi pada mahasiswa kedokteran gigi dengan persentase yang cukup tinggi, hal ini dapat dikaitkan dengan kurangnya kesadaran dan pengetahuan. Tujuan: mengetahui sejauh mana pengetahuan dan kesadaran diri akan tanda dan gejala TMJD pada mahasiswa FKG UI dan melihat hubungan antara keduanya. Metode: Studi deskriptif potong lintang pada 617 mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Indonesia menggunakan kuesioner pengetahuan, dan tanda dan gejala TMJD yang pernah digunakan dalam penelitian terdahulu di India. Hasil: Tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan tingkat kesadaran diri akan tanda dan gejala TMJD. Namun terdapat korelasi positif antara angkatan dengan tingkat pengetahuan dan korelasi negatif antara angkatan dengan tingkat kesadaran diri. Tingkat pengetahuan dan kesadaran diri mayoritas mahasiswa tergolong sedang serta tanda dan gejala yang paling banyak pernah dirasakan oleh mahasiswa yaitu pengalaman mendengar suara dari TMJ saat membuka atau menutup mulut. Kesimpulan: Semakin tinggi angkatan mahasiswa maka tingkat pengetahuan TMJD akan meningkat namun, tingkat kesadaran diri akan tanda dan gejala TMJD justru menurun.

Background: Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD) is the main cause of non-odontogenic pain in oro-facial region. Early diagnosis of TMJD urge to be done, however the self-awareness of TMJD is usually low. TMJD also occurred among dentistry students with significant percentage, this could be associated with the lack of awareness and knowledge. Objective: To understand the level of knowledge and self-awareness regarding the sign and symptoms of TMJD and its relations of the dentistry student in University of Indonesia. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional was applied to 617 students using adapted questionnaire concerning knowledge, sign and symptoms of TMJD used by a similar study in India. Results: There is no association between knowledge level and self-awareness regarding the sign and symptoms of TMJD level. There is a positive correlation between student’s grade and the level of knowledge, however negative correlation appears between student’s grade and the level of self-awareness. The knowledge and self-awareness level among majority of students are moderate. The major sign and symptoms that mostly have ever felt by students is experiencing of noises within TMJ while opening or closing the jaw. Conclusion: Higher student’s grade tends to have higher TMJD knowledge level but lower TMJD sign and symptoms self-awareness level."

"Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) usually has non-specific signs and symptoms. The patient generally can only feel the pain, and thus complains about the stomatognatic problems without knowing the cause and the source. When the patient's chied compaint is pain, it is important to identify the source of the problem in order to provide appropriate treatment. Applied treatments for TMD can vary enormously. A female patient, age 35, came to the prosthodontic clinic with the chief complaints of pain in the right joint and limitation in mouth opening for past 7 years. In the last 2 weeks, the complaints worsened. With light pressure she could still open her mouth wider but showing deviations. She also complained about headache, tension in the forehead region, and muscle pain in the upper back body. The patient also reported that she has been chewing only on the right side for more than 20 years. Lateral transcranial x-ray showed that there were no visible structural or positional disorders. Thus, jaw exercise was decided as the initial therapy for the patient. WIthin one week, all complaints dissapeared. It was concluded that jaw exercise was a very useful form of treatment for TMD provided that the correct diagnosis is established."

"Latar Belakang: Kehilangan gigi dapat menyebabkan terganggunya fungsi mastikasi sehingga dapat mempengaruhi status nutrisi pralansia dan lansia. Pemakaian gigi tiruan dapat mengembalikan fungsi gigi yang hilang sehingga diharapkan dapat meningkatkan status nutrisi. Keberhasilan perawatan gigi tiruan selain dipengaruhi oleh penilaian dokter gigi juga dipengaruhi oleh penilaian pasien. Penilaian dari pasien diukur oleh tingkat kepuasaan pasien. Faktor yang mempengaruhi kepuasaan pasien diantaranya adalah fungsi mastikasi yang berpengaruh pada status nutrisi pasien. Tujuan: Menganalisis hubungan kepuasan pemakaian gigi tiruan lepasan menggunakan kuesioner Turker’s patient’s perceptions-ID dengan status nutrisi menggunakan kuesioner Mini Nutritional Assessment- Short Form (MNA-SF) pada pralansia dan lansia. Menganalisis pengaruh faktor usia, jenis kelamin, tingkat pendidikan, jenis gigi tiruan lepasan, klasifikasi Eichner, dan lama pemakaian gigi tiruan lepasan terhadap tingkat kepuasan pemakai gigi tiruan dan status nutrisi. Metode: 88 subjek (27 laki-laki dan 61 perempuan) berusia 45 tahun ke atas berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Dilakukan pencatatan data diri subjek, pemeriksaan rongga mulut, pengukuran berat dan tinggi badan, serta wawancara kuesioner Turker’s patient’s perceptions-ID dan MNA-SF. Hasil penelitian: Tingkat kepuasan pemakai gigi tiruan lepasan memiliki hubungan bermakna dengan status nutrisi pada pralansia dan lansia (p < 0,05). Kepuasan pasien dan status nutrisi memiliki hubungan bermakna dengan usia, tingkat pendidikan, jenis gigi tiruan lepasan dan klasifikasi Eichner. Kesimpulan: Semakin tinggi tingkat kepuasan pasien terhadap gigi tiruan lepasanya maka akan semakin baik tingkat status nutrisinya.

Background: Tooth loss can cause disruption of mastication and may affect the nutritional status of pre-elderly and elderly. Denture wearing can improve tooth function so it may improve patient’s nutrition. The success of denture treatment is not only influenced by the assessment of the dentist but also influenced by the assessment of the patient. Patient assessment is measured by the level of patient satisfaction. Mastication is one of factors that influence patient satisfaction which can affects patients nutritional status.

Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between satisfaction of removable denture using the Turker's patient's perceptions-ID questionnaire and nutritional status using the MNA-SF questionnaire in the elderly, and analyze the influence of age, gender, education level, type of removable denture, Eichner classification, duration of using removable dentures to denture satisfaction level and nutritional status.

Method: 88 subjects (27 male and 61 female) aged 45 years and older were included in the study. Subjects personal data, oral examination, weight and height measurement were obtained, and interview for Turker’s patient’s perceptions-ID and MNA-SF were conducted.

Results: The level of satisfaction of removable denture users had a significant relationship with nutritional status in elderly (p <0.05). Patient satisfaction and nutritional status have a significant relationship with age, level of education, type of removable denture and tooth loss based on Eichner's classification.

Conclusion: The better level of patient satisfaction with their removable dentures, the better their nutritional status is."

"Indonesian Journal of Dentistry 2006; Edisi Khusus KPPIKG XIV: 155-158The causes of TMD are complex and multifactorial, therefore the management should be done by several disciplines. ln this report, a 27-year-old man came to the teaching hospital of the University of Indonesia Faculty of Dentistry's Prosthodontic Department complaining about clicking sound and pain around his right joint. He received orthodontic treatment 9 years ago with removable appliance at a private practice and had 4 premolar extraction. The patient's face looked asymmetric, with a low vertical dimension, a Class II occlusion, and an anterior deep bite. Besides that, he clenched his teeth during emotional stress. Lateral tanscranial photo showed that the position of the left condyle was relatively normal or slightly anterior, and the right condyle was in the superoposterior position in the fossa with an abnormal shape. To solve this problem, the patient was referred to the Orthodontic Deparment to get a correct vertical dimension and normal anterior overbite. After 6 years, the patient was again referred to the prosthodontic Department, but the result was not successful. In order to get the right vertical dimension, an occlusal splint was fabricated to achieve a comfort jaw relation. In this position, the overbite was 2 mm, but space between the upper and lower posterior teeth was 5 mm. In this situation, full veneer crowns were not impossible to fabricate. Finally, to maintain this comfort position, the patient was suggested to wear the occlusal splint and come regularly for control every 6 months."

"Pre-prosthetic treatment is very important step to get a successful prosthodontic treatment. This study reported a case of a patient with missing teeth on left and right lower first and second molar with TMJ symptoms. Other symptoms felt by the patients were car pain and shoulder pain. After detailed examination, pre-prosthetic treatment needed by the patient was the TMH treatment. The usage of occlusal splint as one of the methods to treat the TMD where i.e. eliminate the occlusal disorder to reduce the neuromuscular activity and to regain a stable centric relation. After the splint treatment, an open bite on the posterior teeth appeared. To solve this problem, a removable frame prosthesis enhanced with overlay rest was fabricated. With this prosthesis, the TMJ symptoms stopped recurring. It was concluded that to achieve a successful prosthesis a detailed and comprehensive treatment was needed including the pre-prosthetic treatment along with the patient's motivation and cooperation."
