Sat, 30 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Background: The use of orthodontic appliances for a long time makes it difficult to maintain oral hygiene, so that patients are more susceptible to caries and periodontal disease. Currently, natural ingredients have been used to accelerate tooth movement, one that can be used is the caffeine contained in cocoa. Caffeine can reduce the levels of osteoblasts, Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), and Osteoprotegerin (OPG) where OPG can inhibit the differentiation and activity of osteoclasts. In addition, caffeine can increase the Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor-Ligand (RANKL), which functions to form and activate osteoclasts, thereby accelerating tooth movement. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of caffeine content in cocoa on tooth movement in orthodontic treatment Methods: Analyzed three (3) journals from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ResearchGate. The journal analyzed was the effect of caffeine content in cocoa on tooth movement in orthodontic treatment and the effect of dose and duration of caffeine consumption from chocolate on alveolar bone mineral density on orthodontic tooth movement. Conclusion: This review proves that cocoa contributes to active orthodontic treatment by modulating the rate of tooth movement, inducing osteoclast genesis, and ultimately shortening the duration of orthodontic treatment. Further studies are needed at the clinical level to confirm the efficacy and potential of cocoa in accelerating tooth movement in orthodontic patients.

Background: Relapse during orthodontic treatment often occurs. Herbal ingredients have many benefits, one of which is propolis extract which contains flavonoids, saponins and CAPE, which can increase the number of fibroblasts and osteoblasts in the traction area which play a role in bone remodeling, thereby preventing relapse during orthodontic treatment.Purpose: to find out more about herbal ingredients that can prevent relapse during orthodontic treatment.Methode: analyzing research journals from the Google Scholar and Research Gate databases. The research analyzed was the effect of using the herbal ingredient propolis on tooth movement in preventing relapse in orthodontic treatment carried out on animals.Conclusions: This report reveals that the use of propolis at a certain concentration and in combination with HBOT can prevent relapse in orthodontic treatment by accelerating the formation of osteoblasts and fibroblasts.

Furthermore, to strengthen the argumentation, the researcher collected data using observation, interview, and documentation methods. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of Public Information Disclosure of the Public Broadcasting Institution of Televisi Republik Indonesia through the Information Management and Documentation Officer on the Website has been running quite well. In the aspect of socialization, it has not run optimally, this is evidenced by the lack of public participation and knowledge about the website ppid.tvri.go.id. In the aspect of implementation, the information on the website has fulfilled the rules of public information disclosure even though there are still some blanks. Researchers concluded that LPP TVRI through PPID in an effort to realize public information disclosure has been running quite well.
