Abstract

Abstract: The craniofacial hard tissue of children with Down syndrome is known to have a small skull base that affects the hard palate described as being high-arched and narrow. Maxillary hypoplasia causes permanent changes in the morphology of the palate later on that can impact aesthetics and phonetics. This study aimed to obtain the maxillary intermolar length in children with Down syndrome. This was an observational study with a cross-sectional approach. Subjects were 25 children with Down syndrome at SLB Yogyakarta who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The palate and teeth were digitally scanned using a Shinning 3D Dental intraoral scanner, and then the intermolar length was measured using 3Shape 3DViewer. The result showed that the average intermolar length of the subjects was 45.8 mm. In conclusion, the average intermolar distance of the children with Down syndrome at SLB Yogyakarta was 45.8 mm This finding encourages more interdisciplinary work in the health sciences to optimize oral cavity function in Down syndrome.

Keywords: maxillary intermolar length; Down syndrome

  

Abstrak: Jaringan keras kraniofasial anak sindrom Down diketahui memiliki dasar tengkorak kecil, yang berimplikasi pada palatum keras berbentuk melengkung tinggi dan sempit. Hipoplasia maksila menyebabkan perubahan permanen pada morfologi palatum di kemudian hari yang dapat memengaruhi estetika dan fonetik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui panjang jarak intermolar maksila anak sindrom Down. Jenis penelitian ialah observasional dengan desain potong lintang. Subjek penelitian ialah 25 anak sindrom Down di SLB Kota Yogyakarta yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Palatum dan gigi dicetak digital menggunakan intraoral scanner Shinning 3D Dental, kemudian panjang jarak intermolar diukur menggunakan 3Shape 3DViewer. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan rerata panjang intermolar pada subjek ialah 45,8 mm. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah rerata panjang intermolar pada anak sindrom Down di SLB Kota Yogyakarta ialah 45,8 mm Temuan penelitian ini mendorong lebih banyak interdisipliner bidang ilmu kesehatan untuk mengoptimalkan fungsi rongga mulut pada sindrom Down.

Kata kunci: panjang intermolar maksila; sindrom Down
