Published: November 2024

Berkaitan dengan semakin banyaknya pesawat udara, maka sudah tentu diikuti pula dengan semakin banyaknya kemungkinan-kemungkinan terjadinya suatu tindakan kejahatan di dalam pesawat udara. Salah satu kejahatan di bidang penerbangan adalah penguasaan pesawat udara secara paksa atau lebih sering disebut pembajakan pesawat udara. Pada tahun 1972 di Indonesia telah terjadi pembajakan terhadap pesawat Vickers Viscount milik Merpati Nusantara Airlines (MNA). Pembajakan pesawat kembali terjadi pada tahun 1981, pembajakan terhadap pesawat DC-9 Woyla milik Garuda Indonesia dengan nomor penerbangan GA-206. Hal tersebut merupakan pembajakan pesawat dalam kegiatan aksi nyata terorisme yang pernah terjadi di Indonesia dengan memanfaatkan dunia penerbangan yaitu dengan cara melakukan pembajakan pesawat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kebijakan hukum pidana terhadap pembajakan pesawat pada kegiatan terorisme. Metode penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian hukum normatif yang menjadikan peraturan perundang-undangan  sebagai suatu objek serta pendekatan masalah. Hasil penelitian ini yakni bahwa menurut Pasal 1 ayat (1) huruf b. Konvensi Tokyo 1963 tindakan-tindakan yang tidak termasuk pelanggaran menurut hukum nasional, tetapi merugikan atau mengganggu ketertiban dan disiplin di dalam pesawat udara berlaku sepenuhnya. Penerbangan  yang  bersifat  cepat dari satu Negara ke Negara lain, tanpa memperhatikan  batas  suatu  negara  terhadap negara  lain  dapat  dimanfaatkan  sebagai sarana tindak pidana oleh pembajak. Hakekat perbuatan pembajakan pesawat mengandung perbuatan kekerasan atau ancaman kekerasan yang berkarakter pada kegiatan terorisme. Kebijakan hukum pidana (kriminalisasi) terhadap Terorisme dapat dilakukan dengan 3 (tiga) cara, khususnya menggunakan sistem global, yaitu melalui undang-undang khusus yang mengatur terorisme diluar KUHP dengan disertai ketentuan-ketentuan khusus termasuk hukum acaranya.

Authors: Bratu D.C. , Popa G. , Bălan R.A. , Anuşcă D.M.E. , Pop S.I.
Published: November 2024

The dental anomalies of volume occur during the stages of morphological differentiation or during the organic matrix apposition and include micro and macrodontia. Relative generalized microdontia is characterized by the disproportion between the normal-sized teeth and the overdeveloped jaws, as a result of crossed inheritance. This case report describes the treatment approach using fixed orthodontic appliances and the evolution in the case of a young male patient diagnosed with spacing (diastemata and tremata), Class I malocclusion and deep bite. The treatment objectives were to obtain a good static and dynamic occlusion and optimal esthetics. At the end of the treatment all the functions of the dento-maxillary system were improved, with adequate intra and inter-arch relationships. When localized in the anterior region, microdontia affects the aesthetic function and, consequently, the patient's psychosocial behavior, which often dictates his treatment choice – orthodontic, restorative or multidisciplinary treatment.

Published: November 2024

Dental pulp capping is a treatment for deep carious lesions that affect a great part of the enamel and dentin structure, although the pulp remains vital. Failure of pulp capping leads to loss of pulp vitality and endodontic treatment. Therefore, the need for dental materials that can induce tertiary dentin formation, are biocompatible and can obtain an efficient seal, is obvious. A material that has all these properties can lead to a greater success rate for pulp capping treatments. Does it exist? What does the scientific literature say about this topic? This article provides information about 4 modern biomaterials used for pulp capping treatments: Calcium Hydroxide, TheraCal LC, MTA and Biodentine, aiming to aid the practitioner in choosing wisely between materials.

Published: November 2024

While regarding oral hygiene remain the most important habit in preventing carious disease, teenagers might represent a vulnerable group because of tendency to adopt risky behaviors and neglect their health. On the other hand, teenagers represent a challenging group for educators involved in oral health educational program because of the difficulties for adolescence to respond to traditional learning methods. Aiming to educate adolescents through interactive and active participation regarding not only the basic tooth brushing but also the secondary means for oral hygiene, Com4You oral health educational program designed and applied activities using experiential learning. Accordingly, to this concept developed by David Kolb, participants learn by doing using the cycle: concrete experience (“Do”), observation and reflection (“Observe”), forming abstract concepts (“Think”), testing in new situation (“Plan”). The Department of Oral Heath and Community Dentistry from Faculty of Dentistry, UMF “Carol Davila”, Bucharest, started applying the oral health lessons using experiential learning in a pilot longitudinal study between 2014 and 2017, in 3 public schools in Bucharest, with small working groups of 5-10 teenagers and a working time of 10-15 minutes per activity. The results of the research showed a proper feedback from participants and a significant improvement regarding oral hygiene-related knowledge and behavior.

Authors: Dobrescu C.E. , Nemet G.C.
Published: November 2024

Our professional interest in human trichinellosis evolution lies for a period of 30 years (1983-2013). In this study we have included 1112 cases of human trichinellosis recorded in that period of time. The aim of the study was: the symptoms and clinical signs correlated with the results of laboratory tests and epidemiological investigations could lead the physician to suspect the trichinellosis. Thus would shorten the patient route by various medical specialties until diagnosing the trichinellosis and would hasten the establishment of antiparasitic treatment. Severe symptoms did not hasten accurate diagnosis of trichinellosis owing to frequent misdiagnosis. High numbers of eosinophil cells was found consistently in all forms of the disease, which confirms the value of this investigation in the diagnosis of trichinellosis. We emphasize the importance of performing dynamic eosinophilia and dysproteinemia tests for the diagnosis of the disease and its follow-up evolution.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death and morbidity in many developed countries. Many risk factors for CHD have been identified, but a significant proportion of CHD is not explained by traditional risk factors. Recently, several lines of evidence have implicated chronic inflammation etiologically in CHD and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Periodontal disease is a chronic gram-negative anaerobic infection of the tooth-supporting structures. Periodontal disease is associated with elevations of several markers of chronic inflammation, and because of evidence implicating chronic inflammation in the etiology of CHD, an etiologic relationship between periodontal disease and CVD has been hypothesized. For these reasons, there has been strong interest in evaluating whether periodontal disease is independently associated with CVD.

Published: November 2024

Parents play an important role in children’ oral health by being decisional agents for hygiene habits in the first years. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the children oral hygiene habits with parents' contribution. Material and methods: The study was conducted on 105 parents who were assessed using a self-administered on-line questionnaire. Results: Tooth-brushing twice daily is performed in 88.88% of cases in “under 2 years” age group by parents, and in half of the rest of cases. Fluoridated toothpaste is used by low number of children and around one quarter of parents are not aware whether their child’ toothpaste contains fluoride. Recommended quantity of toothpaste is used by only 22.22% for children under 2 years, 52.38% for 2-6 yrs, 27.08% for 6-12 yrs. Conclusions: Oral hygiene habits are less than optimal. Parents' oral health education needs improvement in order to gain the recommended behaviors for children.

Published: November 2024

Extended partial edentation is a condition that has an increased stage in the population, justifying the interest in the study of masticatory functions, retention and aesthetics. Flexible partial dentures are an alternative in solving partial edentation. The purpose of this work is to provide an overview of the clinical application of flexible partial prostheses as well as the assessment of the satisfaction of the patient wearing flexible partial prostheses regarding, their chewing ability, speech, retention and aesthetics. Material and method: The study group included 47 patients who had partial edentations restored or not. The objectives pursued were: gender distribution, age distribution and not least the determination of the degree of satisfaction of the partially edentulous patient by restoring the functions of the dento-maxillary apparatus regarding mastication, retention and aesthetics, the degree of acceptance of the prosthetic treatment adapted to the situation of each individual patient. Results: Almost half of patients consider good chewing with prostheses and excellent retention. Two-thirds consider aesthetics to be excellent. Conclusions: The use of flexible materials in the manufacture of partial prostheses is becoming more common as they have high resistance to fracturing. Flexible partial prostheses by Valplast can be used successfully because they adapt very well to the different situations encountered, depending on the particularities of each prosthetic field in the mouth cavity.

Background: In adolescence, intense biopsychosocial modifications place adolescents in one of the groups that are most vulnerable for social and health problems. Habits acquired in this period have repercussions on future dimensions, such as diet, self-image, individual health, values, preferences, and psychosocial development. At this stage, times of neglect with health care become commonplace. While behaviors that contribute to oral health maintenance are reduced, the prevalence of alcohol and tobacco use becomes alarming and affects the health of these young people The aim of the research was to improve the oro-dental health of primary school children in Arad County and to assess the impact of oral health on their quality of life. Material and Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort epidemiological study, conducted in Arad between 2017 and 2019 and included a sample of 832 subjects, middle school students aged 11 to 13 years whose behaviour was analyzed compared to the factors of risk to oro-dental health. Results: It was observed that variations in the frequency of food consumption show statistically significant changes, depending on the sex of the subjects, in the case of consumption of refined fruits and sweets, so that 47.4% girls consume fruit daily compared to only 36.3% boys, and 27% even a few times a day (x²=10,973, DF=4, p=0,014) Discussion: The analysis of socio-behavioral factors showed an above average level of students' knowledge regarding the maintenance of oral health, but the degree of their application in practice is quite low. Thus, an aspect with a strong impact on the oral health of students is the sources of information on maintaining oral health. Conclusions: Adolescents show a significantly increased degree of autonomy, with not exactly correct attitudes towards sanogenic behavior, although they know the data related to the cariogenic effect of certain foods or habits.

Oral health is an integral part of health and well-being. It enables individuals to communicate more effectively, to enjoy a variety of foods and beverages, and to substantially increase their quality of life, self-confidence, and social life (1). Based on a pattern of illness, oral health professionals have focused on prevention and education focused on changing behaviours that were considered to be the cause of dental diseases. The theory behind this approach is that once individuals acquire the relevant knowledge and skills, they will change their behaviour and maintain a much better oral health (3). The purpose of this paper is to assess the degree of knowledge regarding dental hygiene of primary school children and the impact of the implementation of an Oral Health Education Programme for a representative sample of students from three schools in Timisoara.

Aim and objectives: To describe a resin layering and stamp restorative technique based on the biomimetic concept to improve esthetics in a patient with dental defects that affected both enamel and dentin in posterior teeth. Material and methods: The patient, a 23-year-old girl, presented to the doctor with blackish staining on the teeth in the posterior side and no complaints of discomfort. She needs odontotherapy treatment on the mandible in multiple teeth on the posterior side by using the layering technique. Results: The layering technique for posterior teeth can reproduce the aspects of a natural tooth, like its different opacities, shades, and translucencies of enamel/dentin, which can be individualized during buildup in an attempt to match with natural structures, and reduction of the shrinkage stress generated by the polymerization contraction. Conclusion: An important advantage of the incremental layering technique is the possibility to reproduce the aspects of a natural tooth, such as its different opacities, shades, and translucencies of enamel/dentin, which can be individualized during buildup in an attempt to match with natural structures.

Published: November 2024

Osteoporosis is an important clinical problem due to the increased bone fragility that predisposes to fractures. The objective of this study was to analyse the implication of risks factors for fragility fractures in people with osteoporosis and the differences between people with osteoporosis without fragility fractures and those with fragility fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of people diagnosed with osteoporosis. Two groups were formed: one that included people diagnosed with osteoporosis who had fragility fractures that required surgery and one that included people diagnosed with osteoporosis who did not have fractures at the time of inclusion. We compare the two groups in order to differentiate the significance of risk factors for fractures associated osteoporosis. RESULTS: The gender distribution of the two groups highlights the predominance of females, and the average age was 79.8 years with a tendency to distribute osteoporosis to old age; all women in both groups were menopausal; the sedentary lifestyle and reduced physical activity were seen in both groups; 77% of those included in the study showed functional impotence; frequent falls, which predispose to fragility fractures, is noted in the case group at 41 of the 59 included in the study compared to 8 in the control group; the presence of hypertension was noted in 43 people in the case group and 40 in the control group, respectively, while the presence of diabetes and stroke have no statistical significance in this study. CONCLUSIONS: Women and old age are prone to osteoporosis. The presence of menopause and a sedentary lifestyle predispose to functional impotence. In terms of risk factors, falls prevention, screening for hypertension requires careful management of medication that influences bone mineral density.

Authors: Luca M.M. , Popa M. , Buzatu R. , Penescu B. , Miron M.I.
Published: November 2024

Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) was defined in 2001 as a qualitative enamel defect of systemic origin affecting at least one permanent first molar and may also be associated with permanent incisors. Numerous papers have been published to shed light on and raise awareness of this global issue [3]. The condition can be associated with dental complications, including hypersensitive teeth, rapid caries progression, impaired mastication due to rapid wear, and aesthetic repercussions. They can affect patients' quality of life and create treatment challenges for dentists. The present study aims to carry out a bibliometric analysis on the aetiology and incidence of molar-incisor hypomineralization syndrome, this being one of the most pressing problems faced by paediatric dentistry.

Published: November 2024

The aim of this paper is to provide an up-to-date systematic review of the literature dedicated to Burnout Syndrome and to assess the incidence, level of occurrence and spread of this syndrome among dentists. In order to select the appropriate studies, a systematic search of the literature was performed in the electronic databases PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar, reaching a number of 7 final studies included. A long-term conceptual and operational definition characterizes burnout as a triad of emotional exhaustion (emotional overexpression and exhaustion), depersonalization (negative, painful, and detached responses from others), and reduced personal achievement (feelings of incompetence). The research of individual stressors and the many ways in which those in the medical field can actively fight with them is a gateway to improving an entire medical environment by focusing on the individual and providing a successful education to the next generation of physicians.

Case presentation: This study aimed at presenting and evaluating two manufacturing technologies and two types of restorative materials (3rd generation zirconia oxide and lithium disilicate glass ceramic) for the rehabilitation of the upper anterior teeth. The outcomes were evaluated in terms of aesthetics, marginal adaptation, technologies and materials used, working protocol, time and costs. Materials and method: A model with ideal preparations for the six upper anteriors was used in order to manufacture three zirconia oxide single units (Zirtooth Multi A2, Hass Corp) using the full digital protocol (1st hemiarch) and three lithium disilicate single units (Amber Press, LT, A2, Hass Corp) using the combined digital-analog protocol (2nd hemiarch). After fabrication, final layers of stains and glaze were applied for a better individualisation of the final restorations. The six restorations were evaluated on a printed model in order to asses the marginal fit, the final aesthetics, the optical characteristics and the elements of macro and microtexture. Discussions/Conclusions: The two materials used together with the two different manufacturing techniques have produced very similar results, in accordance with the naturalness of teeth.

Computer-assisted surgery has gained momentum in recent decades. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a highly sophisticated type of surgery that has revolutionized the surgical management of chronic sinus diseases. This is in constant progress along with technical advances in imaging, instrumentation and navigation. FESS follows anatomical landmarks, guides the surgeon during the procedure and helps to avoid possible complications. Maxillary sinus mucoceles are benign formations, relatively rare among all paranasal sinus mucoceles. With the introduction of endoscopic sinus surgical techniques, surgeons prefer trans-nasal endoscopic management of sinus mucocele. The aim of this study is to describe maxillary sinus mucocele and to establish the effectiveness of its endoscopic management.

Introduction: Smoking habits not only impact on malignant pathology and cardiovascular disease, but have a direct impact on the oral cavity, causing a wide range of effects, from tooth/dental fillings staining to periodontal disease, increased failure rates in dental implants, as well as oral cancer. Aim and objectives: The aim of this study was to highlight the implications of smoking in the development of dental plaque. Material and methods: We conducted an observational, retrospective study in which 157 young people aged 15-21 years were questioned about their smoking habits and then orally assessed. Results: The oral assessments showed that more than half of the subjects in group 1 had yellowed teeth, compared to less than 20% of those in group 2. Scale as well as yellowed teeth was found in more than 50% of those in group 1, as opposed to only 18% of those in group 2. Halitosis was the next most pronounced symptom observed and more frequently present in young people in group 1 as opposed to group 2. Bleeding gums, gingivitis and periodontitis were present in lower percentages in the young people in the study, but the percentages were still higher in those in group 1 than in group 2. Conclusion: Smoking is a predictor of tooth decay and has a negative impact on oral health.

The inflammation process was described in science and literature a long time ago, but the understanding of the process took a long time. Inflammation is a complex reaction to harmful agents and includes vascular responses, migration and activation of leukocytes. Inflammation begins with an acute reaction, which evolves into a chronic phase if left to persist. Acute inflammation is a rapid process characterized by fluid exudation and leukocyte migration and primarily neutrophils. Chronic inflammation, on the other hand, extends over a longer period of time and is associated with the infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages, the proliferation of blood vessels and fibrosis. Inflammation ceases when the invader is eliminated and secret mediators are removed. However, many factors change the course and morphological appearance, as well as the pattern of termination and duration of inflammation. Chronic inflammatory diseases are now seen as problems that could have an impact on the periodontium. The reciprocal effects of periodontal diseases are potential factors that change the severity of the progression of systemic inflammatory diseases. This review aims to review studies in the literature on the processes, interactions, classification and morphological, and clinical characteristics of inflammation, relating it to the oral cavity and describing the main cell types and chemical mediators used for its occurrence. As a research source we used the PubMed database.
