This study shows that intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) boosts mandibular bone regeneration in rats by increasing HIF-1α and VEGF expression, enhancing osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and bone microarchitecture. IHH may be a promising non-invasive strategy for repairing mandibular bone defects.

This study successfully synthesized oleic acid-coated Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (11–37 nm) with stable dispersibility and superparamagnetic properties. The coating improved surface interactions without altering crystal structure, making them promising for biomedical uses such as targeted drug delivery.

This study analyzed national health data from 16,973 Indonesians to identify predictors of tooth loss in middle-aged and elderly populations. Tooth loss was strongly associated with age, occupation, diabetes, and heart disease. The model showed high predictive accuracy, indicating these factors can effectively predict tooth loss risk for prevention efforts.

This study examined 104 parents of children with intellectual disabilities in Bandung to explore the link between parenting stress and oral health care. Most parents reported moderate stress, average education, and sufficient knowledge and attitudes. Results showed that higher parenting stress was significantly related to parents’ education, knowledge, and attitudes about maintaining their children’s oral

This systematic review of 21 RCTs (1244 participants) found that curcumin is effective in treating various oral diseases, especially oral submucous fibrosis. It reduces lesion severity, pain, and size through anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, wound-healing, and collagenase-inhibiting properties.

This rat study found that Peperomia pellucida extract, rich in bioactive compounds, shows antibacterial activity against Porphyromonas gingivalis and reduces inflammation in periodontitis. It improved gingival and bleeding indices, and histological results showed reduced inflammatory cells and better tissue healing, with effects comparable to chlorhexidine.

This study compared collagen-chitosan-PVA membranes with pericardial membranes in rats. The collagen-chitosan-PVA membrane degraded more slowly, promoted more blood vessel formation, and caused less inflammation by day 30. These results suggest it is a promising material for guided tissue regeneration in periodontal therapy.

This study investigated gingerols and shogaols from Zingiber officinale var. sunti as potential anti-anxiety agents targeting the human GABAA receptor. Molecular docking and dynamics showed 6-gingerol and 10-shogaol had stable binding comparable to diazepam, supported by phytochemical analysis of the extract. These compounds may act as natural allosteric agonists of GABAA receptors, though with lower

This case report of four patients with tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) shows that radiotherapy often causes painful oral side effects like candidiasis, mucositis, and xerostomia, which can hinder treatment adherence. Supportive care using antifungals, hyaluronic acid mouthwash, diphenhydramine, and artificial saliva improved oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and reduced pain levels, highlighting the

This study compared facial proportions of stunted and non-stunted children in Bandung, Indonesia. Results showed that stunted children had significantly shorter vertical facial dimensions, while horizontal dimensions were similar across groups. These findings suggest that vertical facial measurements could serve as supportive, non-invasive indicators for early detection and monitoring of childhood stunting in community settings.
