Abstract

Dental and oral health problems are still not become a priority among Indonesian societies. According to the Basic Health Research data in 2018, oral and dental health problems are still quite high up to 57.6%. Oral and Dental health problems are the issues which are prone to be found in infancy that will disrupt the process of a proper growth and development. Most of Indonesian society in general and many mothers in particular do not understand correctly how to care the toddlers' teeth and to keep it healthy with a good quality. The Mother School of ?Bunda Sholihah? is a local community empowerment organization whose main program is to increase the capacity of mothers in optimizing child development. This activity is designed to train the mothers to have the ability to care for children's dental health and play an active role in educating the wider community. The method utilized in this community service activities were training and educational practices. The training that has been carried out consists of education in lectures, two-way discussions and role analogies, followed by assignments in the field. The number of participants in this activity was up to 45 members from the foundation of the Bunda Sholihah society in the area of Kasihan, Bantul with a total full and active participation which reached 75.5%. This activity is carried out in groups, in once a week for 4 weeks activity, so that the total implementation was 4 meetings. This program involved the service-voluntary team as the educators, members and administrators of the foundation of Bunda Sholihah School by using modules that have been prepared by the service-voluntary team. The activity partner was the Mother School of Bunda Sholihah, Bantul, Yogyakarta. The results of this program showed a significant increase in the level of mother?s knowledge in infant and toddler dental health (p <0.05) including mother?s personal motivation and consideration regarding early dental examination in toddler.

Abstract

Introduction: Mouthwash is an antibiotic-based product that fights bacteria, oral infections, cleans, deodorizes, refreshes the oral cavity, and is an antiseptic. Carrageenan is a class of galactan polysaccharides found as an intercellular matrix substance in red algae or algae from the Rhodophyta class. Carrageenan is also known to contain secondary metabolite compounds, namely flavonoids, alkaloids, triterpenoids, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Aim: The aim of the study is to determine flavonoid levels and cytotoxicity assay of carrageenan gel mouthwash. Methods:  The samples of this study were carrageenan gel mouthwash and fibroblast cells. The samples used was divided into cell control groups (negative) and carrageenan gel mouthwash groups with concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 4%. Results: Total flavonoid levels in carrageenan gel mouthwash preparations with 4 different concentrations have flavonoid levels with a 0.5% concentration of 45.42%, 1% concentration of 69.77%, 2% concentration of 65.09%, and 4% concentration of 38.97%.  The cytotoxicity test showed cell viability of more than 60% at various concentrations. The highest cell viability in the carrageenan hydrogel mouthwash with a concentration of 2% at 80.57%. Conclusion: The carrageenan hydrogel mouthwash that has the highest flavonoid content at a concentration 1% was 69.77% and the carrageenan gel mouthwash was non-toxic to fibroblast cells.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is a global oral health issue associated with the dominance of Streptococcus mutans in dental plaque. Calcium hydroxide is a commonly used dental material; however, there are increasing concerns regarding its adhesion and dissolution issues. Propolis, a natural compound with antimicrobial properties, promotes fibroblast proliferation, releases antioxidants, and reduces oxidative stress when combined with calcium hydroxide. This combination shows potential for enhancing antibacterial efficacy and pulp preservation in restorative dentistry. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of a combination of calcium hydroxide and propolis in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans. Methods: The experimental study assessed the antimicrobial activity of Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175 using the agar disk-diffusion method. Five treatments with five repetition groups were tested: 2% chlorhexidine (positive control), propolis, calcium hydroxide, a calcium hydroxide-propolis mixture, and saline (negative control). The inhibition zone was measured after 24 hours of incubation at 37°C. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test in IBM SPSS 25. Results: The positive control (chlorhexidine) showed the largest inhibitory zone (1.488±0.11), followed by propolis (0.862±0.06), calcium hydroxide combined with propolis (0.746±0.05), and calcium hydroxide suspension which suggested the smallest inhibitory zone (0.684±0.09). Conclusion: The combination of calcium hydroxide and propolis demonstrated superior antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans only when compared to calcium hydroxide suspension alone.
