[fkg.unpad.ac.id] FKG Unpad menggelar Pelatihan Clinical Instructor bagi Dokter Gigi Spesialis RSGM Ladokgi TNI AL R.E. Martadinata yang dilaksanakan secara daring pada 30-31 Juli 2026 dan Pelatihan Microteaching di RSGM Ladokgi TNI AL R.E. Martadinata pada 4 Agustus 2026. Pelatihan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi dokter gigi spesialis sebagai Clinical Instructor serta menyelaraskan mutu pembimbingan […]

This cross-sectional study assessed dental students’ awareness, preparedness, and perceived barriers toward tobacco cessation counseling across South and Southeast Asia. Although students showed good knowledge and willingness to support tobacco cessation, many reported limited practical experience, clinical time, and patient-related challenges. The findings highlight the need for improved tobacco cessation training and clinical integration in

This study evaluated the effectiveness of combining dental hypnosis with the tell–show–do (TSD) technique for managing fear and pain during local anesthesia in children. The results showed that the combined approach significantly reduced dental fear compared with TSD alone, although its effect on pain reduction was not statistically significant. The findings suggest that dental hypnosis

This cross-sectional study evaluated the usability of the Dents AR augmented reality application for oral health education among rural elementary school children using the Modified System Usability Scale (mSUS). The application received usability ratings ranging from poor to excellent, with no significant differences across gender, age, or grade level, indicating consistent user perceptions while highlighting

This study compared YOLOv11-based deep learning models developed on the Roboflow and Ultralytics platforms for automated mesiodens detection in pediatric panoramic radiographs. While the Roboflow model achieved the highest validation accuracy, the Ultralytics YOLOv11l model demonstrated superior generalization and the best overall clinical performance, highlighting its potential as a reliable AI-assisted tool for mesiodens screening

This study developed a novel nano α-tricalcium phosphate (nano α-TCP) and silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) biocomposite for direct pulp capping and evaluated its physicochemical and antibacterial properties. The formulation containing 1% AgNPs demonstrated the best performance, exhibiting sustained calcium and phosphate ion release, a stable alkaline pH, adequate mechanical strength, and strong antibacterial activity against Streptococcus

This study used finite element analysis and experimental validation to investigate the effect of zirconia, cobalt-chromium (CoCr), and titanium guide sleeves on temperature changes during guided endodontic access. Zirconia generated the lowest temperature increase due to its insulating properties, while CoCr demonstrated favorable heat dissipation and mechanical performance, suggesting it as a promising alternative to

This systematic review compared the clinical and radiographic outcomes of four pulpotomy materials—Calcium Hydroxide (CH), Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, and iRoot BP Plus—in permanent teeth. Among the 22 included studies, MTA and iRoot BP Plus demonstrated the highest and most consistent success rates, while Biodentine was also highly effective. Although CH remained a viable

This pilot in vitro study evaluated the effects of guide sleeve material and height on sleeve hardness and drill wear during guided minimally invasive endodontic access. Zirconia sleeves exhibited the highest hardness, while resin sleeves were the softest, with sleeve height showing no significant effect. Although all materials maintained their hardness after drilling, substantial drill

The HI Bogi application, powered by the YOLOv8x deep learning model, demonstrated diagnostic accuracy comparable to dentists while detecting dental caries in primary school children approximately four times faster. These findings support its potential as an efficient AI-based tool for school dental screening, although further refinement is needed to improve detection of less common lesion
