Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is one of the chronic autoimmune diseases that leads to multiple manifestations in several organ systems, including chronic renal failure (CRF). Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is one of the most common complications of CRF associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). A combination of CRF and HPT can result in broad-spectrum disorders in the metabolism of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D, which can affect bone turnover, mineralization, and volume. Radiographic alterations of ROD are considered as one of the earliest signs of CRF. Objective: To describe the oral manifestations in both the maxilla and mandible of …

Avulsed Anterior Permanent Tooth Replaced By Fixed Functional Interim Prosthesis With Natural Crown: A Case Report, Ananya Pal, Shankhanil Dev, Shabanam Zahir, Gauatm Kumar Kundu

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

The incidence of trauma to the anterior teeth is a common occurrence in children. From the very moment the child tries to walk erect independently, the susceptibility of the child’s anterior teeth getting injured begins. Avulsion (a type of traumatic injury) is the complete loss of the tooth from its socket. Various treatment modalities are available to treat such accidents. The tooth can be replanted back or replaced by a prosthesis, it depends upon the extraoral drytime and the stage of development of root of the avulsed tooth. The present case-report describes the way in which an avulsed permanent maxillary …

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Lymphangioma is a benign growth caused by developmental malformation of lymphatic vessels that usually occurs within the first two decades of life. The clinical features present as painless, nodular, vesicle-like swellings of the soft tissue, most commonly found on the anterior two-third of the tongue. Histopathology demonstrates multiple dilated lymphatic vessels, containing proteinaceous fluid and occasionally leukocytes. We here reported a case of a seven-year-old Thai male presented with papillary and vesicle-like swelling on the left dorsal tongue for five years. The lesion of the patient was surgically excised under general anesthesia and followed up for six months without signs …

How To Win (Reviewer) Friends And Influence (Editorial) People, William M. Thomson

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

While collecting the right data and conducting the appropriate analyses is critical to scientific success, writing up your findings and steering them through submission, peer review and into print is at least as important. If you don’t publish your work, your scientific career is likely to be brief and unrewarding. Thus, technical writing is a key skill for any researcher. In this paper, the author goes through the hard lessons learned from nearly three decades of experience as a scientist, reviewer and (latterly) editor. He covers such topics as precision in technical writing, common errors in presenting and describing data, …
