Abstract

Background: One of requirements for a material to be used in dentistry is that the material must be non toxic and non irritant, as well as have biocompatibility properties, not triggering a detrimental effect on the biological environment, both locally and systemically. The first-line tests that must be conducted is in vitro tests, one of which is MTT Assay. Samples used in this research were fibroblast cells (cultured BHK-21 cells) since fibroblasts are the most important and largest components in pulp, periodontal ligament, and gingiva. Purpose: This research aimed to determine toxicity effect of taro leaf extracts (Colocasia esculenta L. Schoot) on BHK-21 fibroblast cells. Methods: This research is an experimental laboratory research using Post Test Only Control Group design.  The research treatment are the administration of Taro leaf extract (Colocasia esculenta L. Schoot)  with 100%, 80%, 60%, and 40% concentration on BHK-21 fibroblast cell. Results: The fibroblast cell life percentage in 100%, 80%, 60%, and 40% concentration respectively are 106,3%, 50,9%, 36,2%, and 30,1%. The toxicity results are obtained using MTT assay technique after 24 hours. The optical density absorbency values are read by ELISA reader and represent life cell viability. Conclusion: Taro leaf extract (Colocasia esculenta L. Schoot) at a concentration above 80% is considered as non-toxic material to BHK-21 fibroblast cells

Abstract

Background: Dental and oral health problems occur in all age groups, including the elderly. Dental caries is one of the dental and oral health problems. An epidemiological study reported that 83.5% out of 91 elderly respondents did not have a routine dental check-up. The data concluded that those who routinely have dental check-up had a lower caries risk than the others. The public health centre did not have data about the total of elderly visitors in the dental poly unit. The BULAN KESGILUT book aimed to help to monitor dental and oral health status in the elderly. Purpose: To help the dental poly and elderly visitors to have medical records related to dental and oral health using BULAN KESGILUT book. Methods: The program adopted an indirect health education method involving cadres and dentists from the public health centre. The counselling was done by group. The lecture consisted of dental and oral health material printed in the BULAN KESGILUT book. We have then informed the dentists on how to record the dental and oral health status in the BULAN KESGILUT book and educate the cadres on how to read those records. Results: The mean of cadres' understanding of BULAN KESGILUT book was 97.92%, and the mean of cadres' information dissemination related to BULAN KESGILUT book was 55.81%. Conclusion: The program results showed that BULAN KESGILUT was an effective media in monitoring dental and oral health status in the elderly. However, a continuous promotion by the cadres and the public health center is necessary
