Abstract

As a future oral health professional, I should know that good oral hygiene habits and attitudes have an impact on more than just my own dental and oral health. They may nevertheless have an impact on a patient's capacity to inspire them to take preventative action. A crucial and integral component of overall health is oral health. In comparison to professionals who see the dentist more regularly (43%), students visit the dentist for routine dental cleanings just about one-third as often as professionals. Describe periodontal health awareness levels among the Universitas Sumatera Utara dental students. This study uses a descriptive method (survey) using an adapted questionnaire. The sample was taken two times: the first stage (pilot study) required to test the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, and the second stage research on the periodontal health awareness level with 169 respondents. The questionnaire questions were valid and reliable. The results showed that for students who had an awareness of periodontal health levels in maintaining periodontal health, dental and oral health, the good were 97 respondents (57.4%), fairly good were 69 respondents (40.83%), less good was 3 respondents (1.78%). Most respondents of dental students at Universitas Sumatera Utara had a level of awareness of maintaining periodontal health in the good.

Abstract

Background: Periodontitis is an inflammation of the periodontal tissue characterized by loss of attachment and the formation of periodontal pockets. Periodontitis impairs the metabolic control of patients with diabetes mellitus by increasing inflammation and insulin resistance, according to researchers. This study aims to determine the periodontal status and level of gingival inflammation in patients with periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Tiga Dolok Health Center. Method: This research is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional research design. The study's population and sample are patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus accompanied by periodontitis who visit the Tiga Dolok Health Center and meet the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, with a total sample size of 42 samples taken. Results: The research findings indicate that the average pocket depth is 4.052 mm, the average clinical attachment loss is 5.200 mm, and the level of gingival inflammation based on the gingival index shows that 18 individuals (42.9%) fall into the mild category and 24 individuals (57.1%) fall into the moderate category. Additionally, the papillary bleeding index shows that 31 individuals (73.8%) are in the >1 category, and 11 individuals (26.2%) are in the ≤1 category. Conclusion: As you can see, the periodontal health is moderate. The pocket depth is 4.052 ± 0.402 mm, the clinical attachment loss is 5.200 ± 0.822 mm, and the gingival index shows moderate gingival inflammation. In contrast, the papillary bleeding index falls into the category of >1.

Abstract

Menopause is a natural developmental stage in a woman's life that is marked by permanent cessation of menstruation. The period after menopause is called postmenopausal. Menopause causes irreversible hormonal changes. Hormones have a potential role in the development and integrity of the oral cavity. Changes in the oral cavity and the vulnerability of postmenopausal women to oral abnormalities due to decreased reproductive hormones, make this to be an important concern by providing information, education, and motivation as well as prevention of oral abnormalities in postmenopausal because if the oral disease is left untreated can affect systemic conditions and interfere with the quality of life of postmenopausal women. In this regard, this community service carried out counseling to add information, examination of the oral cavity to educate, as well as good and correct brushing practices to increase motivation for prevention of oral abnormalities. After this community service, participants became more aware of the condition of their mouth and had the motivation to improve the condition of their oral cavity through information obtained from counseling, oral examination, and tooth brushing practices. Furthermore, this activity needs to be carried out on an ongoing basis and conduct training of trainers (ToT) for village midwives as health workers who directly interact with the community.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of oral bacterial infections and growing concerns regarding the long-term use of synthetic antibacterial agents have encouraged the exploration of natural alternatives in oral care products. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of toothpaste containing sunflower seed extract (Helianthus annuus Linn.) against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 29213 in vitro. Sunflower seeds were extracted using maceration, followed by phytochemical screening to identify bioactive secondary metabolites. The extract was formulated into toothpaste at concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 10%. A commercial antibacterial toothpaste (Siwak-F) was used as a positive control, while toothpaste base without antibacterial agents served as a negative control. Physicochemical characteristics of the formulations, including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, and viscosity, were evaluated to ensure formulation quality. Antibacterial activity was assessed using the agar well diffusion method on Mueller–Hinton Agar, and inhibition zone diameters were measured after 24 hours of incubation at 37°C. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the Mann–Whitney post hoc test. The results demonstrated a concentration-dependent increase in antibacterial activity. Toothpaste containing 10% sunflower seed extract produced the largest inhibition zone and exhibited antibacterial activity comparable to the positive control, with no statistically significant difference. Lower concentrations (2.5% and 5%) also showed significant antibacterial effects compared to the negative control. These findings indicate that sunflower seed extract-based toothpaste has strong potential as a natural antibacterial dentifrice and may serve as a safer alternative to synthetic antibacterial agents in oral healthcare.

Abstract

This study investigates the antibacterial activity of toothpaste formulated with Theobroma cacao L. pod husk extract against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC®29213. The extract was incorporated into toothpaste formulations at concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 10%. The antibacterial activity was evaluated using the well diffusion method, and inhibition zones were measured after a 24-hour incubation period at 37°C. The results showed that all concentrations of the toothpaste exhibited significant antibacterial effects, with the 10% concentration demonstrating the highest efficacy. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and terpenoids, which are known for their antimicrobial properties. The 10% concentration of the extract showed the largest inhibition zone, reaching 19.3 mm, significantly higher than the 2.5% and 5% concentrations, which yielded zones of 13.4 mm and 15.9 mm, respectively. While the positive control (Siwak-F) demonstrated the highest inhibition zone (20.9 mm), the cocoa pod husk extract at 10% concentration showed comparable efficacy. Physical evaluations of the toothpaste formulations indicated good stability, with acceptable levels of pH, spreadability, and viscosity. These findings suggest that Theobroma cacao pod husk extract has potential as a natural antibacterial agent in toothpaste formulations, offering an alternative to synthetic chemical agents.
