Abstract

Merokok adalah penyebab kondisi tidak sehat dan kematian yang dapat dicegah. Di negara berkembang termasuk Indonesia, prevalensi perokok cukup tinggi. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan tentang efek merokok terhadap rongga mulut dan metode yang dapat digunakan untuk menghentikan kebiasaan merokok. Keinginan untuk berhenti merokok meningkat secara drastis dalam beberapa tahun terakhir ini. Dokter gigi diharapkan memiliki peran penting dalam mengupayakan strategi berhenti merokok. Metode 5A (Ask, Advise, Asses, Assist, Arrange) merupakan metode panduan yang dapat digunakan untuk kegiatan berhenti merokok. Strategi ini secara khusus dapat membantu pasien agar termotivasi untuk berhenti merokok dan merekomendasikan yang harus dilakukan selanjutnya.

Abstract

Red ginger extract has a category strong antibacterial effect on Staphylococcusaureus and Streptococcus mutans. Red ginger essential oil has the potential forstronger inhibition. This study aims to compare the antibacterial effectiveness of redginger essential oil against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans. Thedesign of this study was a laboratory experimental design with a factorial completelyrandomized design. The red ginger used in this study was proven to be a species ofZingiber officinale Roscoe. The production of essential oils in this study uses thesteam distillation method. The content of secondary metabolites in red ginger wastested quantitatively by the GC-MS method. Determination of antibacterial activityusing the disc diffusion method. The data were processed using the SPSS 21.0program. The normality of data distribution was tested with the Shapiro-Wilk test,followed by one-way ANOVA, Levene's test, and the Tukey HSD Post Hoc Test. Theresults of the antibacterial test of red ginger essential oil against Staphylococcusaureus (21.21mm ± 0.315) and Streptoococcus mutans (23.43mm ± 0.189) provedthat the inhibition power of the category was very strong at a concentration of 75%.

Abstract

One of the probable complications in mandibular third molar extraction is thedamage to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). Calculating the distance between IANand third mandibular can decrease the complication risk. In this study, cone beamcomputed tomography (CBCT) scans were used to evaluate several factors relatedto the positional relationship between mandibular third molar and IAN in theVietnamese population. One-hundred-seventy-eight CBCT scans were collectedfrom dental clinics at Ho Chi Minh City, from 1st January 2018 to 28th February2021. Only 100 scans were included in this study, 55 scans of female and 45 scansof male patients. The age of the patients ranged from 19 to 59 years old. From thisstudy, the most common location of IAN relative to the roots of the mandibularthird molar was on the apical side (60.5%), followed by the buccal side (21.5%), thelingual side (16%), and the least common located between the roots (2%). Overall,the mean distance between mandibular third molar roots to IAN was 3.19±1.85mm. There was a significant correlation between the left and right sides ofthe IAN location, indicating symmetry. Moreover, there is no association was foundbetween gender and the location of IAN

Abstract

Background: Dental caries, primarily caused by Streptococcus mutans, is a prevalent oral health issue. The rise of antibiotic resistance and side effects of synthetic antimicrobials have fueled the search for plant-derived alternatives. Swietenia mahagoni (mahogany) leaves, traditionally used for medicinal purposes, exhibit potential antibacterial properties. This study investigated the phytochemical composition and in vitro antibacterial activity of S. mahagoni leaf extracts against S. mutans. Methods: S. mahagoni leaves were collected, processed, and extracted using ethanol. Phytochemical screening identified alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, and saponins. Antibacterial activity was assessed through the agar well diffusion method against S. mutans, using various extract concentrations (25%, 50%, 75%) and chlorhexidine as a positive control. Inhibition zone diameters were measured to determine antibacterial efficacy. Results: Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, and saponins in the S. mahagoni leaf extract. The extract demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against S. mutans at all concentrations. The highest concentration (75%) showed the largest inhibition zone (18.07 ± 0.37 mm), significantly larger than those of lower concentrations and the positive control (chlorhexidine, 13.87 ± 0.21 mm). Conclusion: S. mahagoni leaf extract exhibits substantial antibacterial activity against S. mutans, likely due to its diverse phytochemical content. These findings suggest its potential as a natural anti-caries agent. Further research is needed to explore its use in developing novel oral health products.

Abstract

Enterococcus faecalis may infiltrate dentinal tubules in the cementum and dentin of the root, causing endodontic failure. A key stage in root canal therapy is irrigation. NaOCl is an efficient irrigation at higher concentrations, although its toxicity causes periapical tissue injury. Garlic and red dragon fruit peel suppress Enterococcus faecalis. To test the antibacterial activity of garlic (Allium sativum) extract and red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel extract at 50% against Enterococcus faecalis bacterium. A post-test only control-group design was used in this in vitro study. A 50% blend of garlic (Allium sativum) extract and red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel extract was compared to 2.5% NaOCl against Enterococcus faecali. ANOVA test results revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) in Enterococcus faecalis inhibition between garlic extract (Allium sativum), red dragon fruit peel extract, a mixture of both, and NaOCl: 9.30 ± 0.89, 15.88 ± 2.65, 12.30 ± 2.53, and 20.39 ± 2.41 mm. Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel extract killed Enterococcus faecalis better than garlic (Allium sativum) and garlic-red dragon fruit peel combo.
