Abstract

Pengunaan produk-produk alam di bidang kedokteran saat ini semakin berkembang pesat. Salah satu bahan alami yangdigunakan adalah kitosan. Tujuan penulisan ini adalah untuk menjelaskan kegunaan kitosan di bidang kedokteran gigi.Kitosan (poly-β-1,4-glukosamine) merupakan makalah biopolymer alami di alam yang memiliki rantai linear denganrumus struktur (C6H11NO4)n yang dapat diperoleh dari proses destilasi kitin. Kitin ditemukan banyak pada hewan lautberkulit keras seperti blankas, kepiting, kerang, udang, rajungan, cumi-cumi, jenis serangga dan jamur. Kitosan memilikibeberapa sifat yang menguntungkan seperti biokompatibel, biodegradable, tidak beracun serta mucoadhesion sehinggakitosan sering digunakan pada pengaplikasian biomedis. Sebagai kesimpulan, kitosan dapat digunakan sebagai antibakteri, menghambat/ membunuh mikroorganisme, menurunkan rasa nyeri, serta memperbaiki sifat-sifat material dibidang kedokteran gigi.

Abstract

Background: The main problem in dental and oral health among children is dental caries, a complex disease that begins with acid production that destroys dental minerals. When the pH drops to below 5,5, demineralization occurs faster than remineralization, potentially causing cavities. One approach to addressing this issue is by increasing salivary pH. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of gargling with propolis mouthwash on increasing salivary pH among children aged 7-9 years. Methods: This laboratory experimental study used a pretest-posttest controlled-group design. A total of 40 respondents from PAB 12 Sampali Elementary School were selected through purposive sampling. Salivary samples (5 ml) were collected and pH levels measured using a pH meter. Results: The Wilcoxon test showed that the average salivary pH before using propolis mouthwash was 6.39, increasing to 7.07 after use. There was a significant effect of propolis mouthwash on salivary pH (p-value = 0.000). Conclusion: The findings indicate that propolis mouthwash effectively increases salivary pH in children aged 7–9 years.
