Abstract

Saliva is a biological fluid that is secreted by the major, minor and other accessories salivary glands. Saliva has a high potential as an indicator that reflects the health of our body. Saliva also plays an important role as a protector, lubricate oral structure with mucin, set a neutral pH through the buffer capacity, clean the oral cavity, stimulate wound healing, help the taste buds in the taste of food, facilitate the process of chewing food, form a bolus and make it easier swallowing, and minimize food particles through the activity of the enzyme amylase and lipase. The use of saliva as a biomarker in diagnosing provide more advantages than the serum and other body fluids due to using non-invasive techniques, cost-efficient, as well as methods for collecting samples for disease screening without the need to train professional personnel. The benefits derived from the saliva as a biomarker are early detection and screening of disease to the development of caries, periodontal disease, tumors and malignancy, hereditary, wound healing, autoimmune disease, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, drug monitoring, forensic, and the psychological influence. At this time, the function of saliva as a diagnostic biomarker is not widely known, therefore the development of salivary further enhance because it can produce functional similarities with serum and reflect the body's physiological status in the oral cavity and systemic disease.

Overall, the average of GPAQ score of 2347 METs per week indicates that students’ physical activity is in moderate category. Male students were more physically active (3448.9METs) than female (1778.6 METs). The study also determine that most of the student had sedentary behavior by sitting or lying down about 327,9 minutes per day.Conclusion: The conclusion is students of different faculties had different physical activity level during this pandemic. Most of the students is in moderate physical activity category and high sedentary behavior.

Abstract

Abstract: Incision wounds in dentistry can be caused by several procedures inter alia incision of abscess, odontectomy, extraoral incision, parotidectomy, and others. Certain drugs are needed to accelerate wound healing and prevent infection. Generally, anti-inflammatory drugs such as steroids and non-steroids are given to accelerate wound healing. Herbal remedies such as black cumin extract can also be an alternative to be applied topically.  This study aimed to evaluate the effect of black cumin extract on closure time of incision wound on the back of male Swiss Webster mice. This was a laboratory and experimental study. Subjects were 36 Swiss Webster mice divided into two groups. Incision wounds were performed on the back of each subjects. Group I was not given any treatment meanwhile group II was treated with topical application of black cumin extract. The Mann Whitney test showed that the mean wound closure time of group II was 9.7 days, meanwhile of group I was 12.7 days (p=0.0000855). In conclusion, there was a significant effect of black cumin extract on the closure time of the incision wound on the back of Swiss Webster mice which resulted in the fastest complete wound closure on the 8th day.Keywords:  black cumin extract; wound closure time Abstrak: Luka insisi dalam bidang kedokteran gigi dapat disebabkan oleh berbagai prosedur, seperti insisi abses, odontektomi, insisi ekstraoral, parotidektomi, dan sebagainya.

Abstract

Background: Pain and swelling are common inflammatory complications following mandibular third molar surgery. Corticosteroids are widely used to control postoperative inflammation and improve patient comfort. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness of low-dose postoperative methylprednisolone, particularly at an 8 mg dose, remains limited, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8 mg dose of methylprednisolone on postoperative pain intensity and facial swelling following surgery. Methods: This study employed a parallel-group, two-arm randomized controlled trial design conducted in accordance with the CONSORT guidelines. A total of 30 patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (8 mg methylprednisolone) or the control group (standard care), with 15 participants in each group. The independent variable was methylprednisolone administration, while the dependent variables included pain intensity measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and facial swelling. Outcome assessments were performed on postoperative days 1, 3, and 7. Statistical analyses were used for independent t-tests. Results: Pain intensity was lower in the methylprednisolone group than in the control group at all postoperative time points, with large between-group effect sizes observed on day 1 (p = 0.003; Cohen’s d = 1.42), day 3 (p = 0.020; Cohen’s d = 1.36), and day 7 (p = 0.007; Cohen’s d = 1.18). Facial swelling also differed between groups, showing a lower degree of swelling in the methylprednisolone group during postoperative days 1–3 (p = 0.029; Cohen’s d = 0.98) and days 3–7 (p = 0.002; Cohen’s d = 0.87), indicating consistently large effects across outcomes. Conclusion: Low-dose methylprednisolone is statistically and clinically effective in reducing postoperative pain and swelling following surgery and may be integrated as a safe and cost-effective adjuvant therapy in postoperative dental care.
