Abstract

Composite resin is a widely used dental restoration material due to its excellent mechanical and aesthetic properties; however, va-rious external factors, including exposure to chemicals in mouthwash, can affect its hardness. Red betel leaf (Piper crocatum) is known to contain phenols and have antibacterial properties, which are often used in oral health care. This article evaluates the ef-fect of immersing composite resin in DSM decoction on its hardness, analyses the impact of immersion duration, and compares its effects on various types of composite resin. This study employs a scoping review method, reviewing literature from data-bases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed from 2015 to 2025. The articles used were selected based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, screened using the PRISMA method, and data analysis was conducted by synthesi-sing the results from relevant articles. It was concluded that soaking composite resin in DSM decoction reduces the materi-al's hardness due to the chemical content in DSM and the duration of soaking. Consideration of restorative materials and their use in combination with natural materials such as red betel leaves should be taken into account in dental practice.

Abstract

Fixed denture is a treatment used to replace missing teeth. Fiber Reinforced Composite using dental E-glass fiber is an alternative material due to its biocompatibility, good aesthetics, and adaptability to the oral cavity.However in Indonesia, its availibility is limited and the cost is relatively high. Non-dental E-glass fiber, which has been widely used in engineering sectors, has a composition that is largely similar to dental E-glass fiber. This study aims to understand the effect of the position of non-dental E-glass fiber on the flexural strength of Fiber Reinforced Composite. This experimental study tested Fiber Reinforced Composite with non dental E-glass fiber placed in various positions using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM), and the results were analyzed with One-Way ANOVA. The test results showed that Fiber Reinforced Composite with fiber positioned on the tension side has the highest flexural strength, at 213.11 MPa, while placement on the compression side has the lowest value of 179.98 MPa. It was concluded that the position of non-dental E-glass fiber affects the flexural strength of Fiber Reinforced Composite.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gingival tissue commonly caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque and remains a major oral health problem with a high prevalence. Long-term use of synthetic antiseptics such as chlorhexidine may cause adverse effects; therefore, safer natural alternatives are needed. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil possesses antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities that support its development as an active ingredient in oral care preparations. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the physicochemical quality and stability of a mouth spray preparation containing lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil as a potential alternative for the management of gingivitis. Methods: This study was an experimental laboratory study with a descriptive design. Lemongrass essential oil mouth spray preparations were formulated at two concentrations, 0.25% and 0.5%. The evaluation focused on the quality of the preparation, including organoleptic testing, pH measurement, viscosity testing, hedonic testing, and stability testing over four weeks of storage at room temperature (25 ± 2°C). Results: Both formulations were liquid and homogeneous. The 0.25% formulation had a pH below the ideal oral pH range (6–7), whereas the 0.5% formulation met the oral pH range. The viscosity values of both formulations were close to that of water (±1 cP). Organoleptically, the 0.25% formulation exhibited a clearer appearance and milder aroma, while the 0.5% formulation was more preferred by panelists in terms of taste. Both preparations showed good stability over four weeks of storage without significant physical changes. Conclusion: Lemongrass essential oil mouth spray preparations met the quality parameters and remained stable during storage. The 0.5% formulation represents the optimal formulation and may be considered for further development as a preparation for the management of gingivitis.KEY WORDS: gingivitis, mouth spray, lemongrass essential oil, cymbopogon citratus, formulation evaluationFormulasi dan evaluasi sediaan mouth spray minyak atsiri daun sereh (Cymbopogon citratus) untuk kandidat terapi gingivitis: Studi eksperimentalABSTRAK Pendahuluan: Gingivitis merupakan peradangan jaringan gingiva yang umumnya disebabkan oleh akumulasi plak bakteri dan masih menjadi masalah kesehatan gigi dan mulut dengan prevalensi tinggi.

Abstract

Data shows that 30.52% of older people in Padang experience tooth loss, yet only 1.53% use dentures. This condition can disrupt nutritional intake and diminish the quality of life, thereby increasing the risk of malnutrition. Malnutrition, in turn, can exacerbate the physical and mental health status of older people. A community service program was conducted involving 30 elderly participants at the Posyandu Permata Bunda in Gunung Sarik Village, Padang. The intervention comprised socialization and education on the impacts of tooth loss and the importance of dentures, oral cavity examinations, nutritional status assessment using the Mini Nutritional Assessment, and quality-of-life assessment using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). The participants were followed from the initial activities through the denture fabrication process. Elderly individuals with poor nutritional status tended to have a poorer quality of life. A significant improvement in quality of life was observed following denture use: the proportion of participants in the "good" category increased from 20% to 60%, while the proportion in the "poor" category decreased from 40% to 10%. A significant difference in GOHAI scores (p<0.05) was found before and after the intervention. The implementation of socialization, education, and denture installation at the posyandu effectively improved the elderly participants' quality of life. This integrated intervention can serve as a model for comprehensively addressing elderly health issues at posyandu, including providing ongoing support after denture use. These activities should be conducted periodically, with nutritional status assessments every three months and continuous monthly support for denture use.
