Denture stomatitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the oral mucosa thatgenerally occurs in users of removable dentures. The cause is multifactorialbut is often associated with the presence of Candida albicans. The mucosawhich is covered by the denture base also reduces the function of saliva whichfunctions as a cleanser for the oral cavity and results in food wasteaccumulating and microorganisms such as Candida albicans can increase innumber. Candida albicans is a normal flora of the oral cavity which is anopportunistic pathogen. The starfruit plant (Averrhoa billimbi l) is a naturalingredient that can be used as an antifungal agent. The aim was to determinethe ratio of the effectiveness of starfruit leaf extract (Averrhoa billimbi) betweenthe concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, control + (Clorhexidine) andcontrol - (Aquadest) in reducing the number of Candida albicans colonies. Thetest method used the dilution method, the colony count of Candida albicansusing a spectrophotometer. The results of the one way ANOVA statistical testresulted in a significance value of p = 0.000 (p <0.05) which means that thereis a difference in the average concentration of Candida albicans between theextract concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, control + and control. -namely 6.78 Â± 0.35, 6.27 Â± 0.21, 4.89 Â± 0.29, 1.01 Â± 0.18, 0.59 Â± 0.19 and 9.13Â± 2.28 in inhibiting growth Candida albicans and this was confirmed by theTukey HSD posthoc test. The conclusion of this study is that there is adifference between the antifungal effectiveness of starfruit leaf extract(Averrhoa billimbi) concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, 50% and 100% in inhibitingthe growth of Candida albicans colonies.

Teeth stains occur due to the presence of polyphenol compounds that provide color to beverages, together with inadequate oral hygiene that leads to the formation of calculus and plaque. In addition to coffee, cigarettes are also a contributing factor to the formation of stains. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between self-confidence in dentistry students of Universitas Prima Indonesia and teeth staining from smoking and coffee use. This study is a cross-sectional analytical-observational investigation. This study utilizes original data acquired from research participants. This study involved a cohort of 53 research subjects. The data analysis was conducted using the univariate and bivariate methods in SPSS version 25. The Kruskal-Wallis test revealed a statistically significant disparity in the average tooth discoloration across individuals with varying levels of self-confidence (p=0.0001; p≤0.05). The findings of this study indicate a correlation between students' self-assurance and alterations in tooth color resulting from smoking and coffee consumption.

School-aged children constitute a demographic that encounters dental and oral health issues. Poor oral and dental hygiene is associated with the development of caries and calculus. The objective of the study was to establish the relationship between teeth brushing practices and the occurrence of dental caries and calculus in elementary school children from grades 1-6 at Galilea Hosana School, located in the Medan Selayang District of North Sumatra. The research conducted at Galilea Hosana School Elementary School, Medan Selayang District, is a descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The research sample consisted of 64 elementary school pupils enrolled at Galilea Hosana School, located in the Medan Selayang District. The students were from grades 1 to 6. The data were gathered through the administration of questionnaires and the physical inspection of the mouth cavity and teeth. The Kruskal-Wallis statistical test was employed to examine the data. The research findings indicated that the mean calculus score for students was 1.40 ± 0.74, which falls within the category of moderate calculus. On the other hand, the average scores for caries DEFT and DMFT among students were 2.02 ± 2.36 and 1.42 ± 2.06, respectively, placing them in the low caries category. Out of the total number of students, 29 (45.3%) had sufficient tooth-brushing habits, while 19 kids (29.7%) had commendable tooth-brushing practices. Only 16 students (25%) had inadequate tooth-brushing habits. The Kruskal-Wallis test revealed a statistically significant association (p≤0.05) between teeth brushing behaviors and the occurrence of caries and calculus in school-age children in grades 1-6 at Galilea Hosana School Elementary School, located in the Medan Selayang District of North Sumatra. The research findings indicate a direct relationship between poor tooth-brushing habits and increased levels of calculus and caries.

Worldwide, 45–97% of people chew food with only one side of their mouth. It is possible that chewing may act as a natural cleanser. One side of the mouth is more susceptible to the development of calculus and plaque when chewing, while the other side naturally removes debris and improves hygiene. Chewing behavior on one side causes a buildup of food detritus, resulting in low oral status. This study aims to explore the influence of one-sided chewing habits on the occurrence of caries, calculus, and oral status hygiene in Students of SMP Islam Terpadu Nurul Fadhilah Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia. This study is an analytical observational research with a cross-sectional approach. This study uses primary data obtained from observations of the subject study. A total of 50 research subjects took part in this study. The incidence of caries, calculus, and oral hygiene status is influenced by one-sided chewing patterns. One-sided chewing patterns increase the caries index calculus index and reduce oral hygiene status.

Background. Halitosis is a condition in which an unpleasant odor caused by oral microbes comes out of a person's mouth during exhalation, which makes other people feel uncomfortable. Probiotics seek to maintain the homeostasis of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract to suppress the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria. This study aims to evaluate the potential of probiotics against halitosis as assessed by the levels of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). Methods. The design of this study is an experimental study with a pre-post test approach. A total of 30 research subjects with criteria aged 20-28 years with complaints of halitosis seek treatment at the dental and oral polyclinic of Siti Hajar Hospital. Research subjects were asked to rinse their mouth with one of the commercial probiotic drinks already circulating in the market, where previously the levels of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) and after rinsing the probiotic drink, the levels of VSCs were measured again. Data analysis was carried out with the help of SPSS version 21 software. A univariate data analysis was carried out to obtain an overview of the distribution of degrees and levels of Volatile, Sulfur Compounds (VSCs) before, and after giving drinks probiotics. Results. The provision of probiotic drinks is sufficient to provide a significant qualitative change effect where there is a change in the degree of halitosis of the research subjects. After consuming probiotics, there was an improvement in the degree of halitosis of the research subjects, whereas there were no more subjects with severe halitosis. Conclusion. Consumption of probiotic drinks can reduce the levels of VSCs in the oral cavity, which indicates the ability of probiotics to reduce halitosis.
