Abstract

Currently, there are many foods which contain cariogenic material among others are sugars and other sweet foods. These cariogenic foods will decrease the pH of saliva. The pH of saliva is one of the important factors that can affect the process of demineralization on the surfaces of the teeth. Streptococcus mutans is microorganism can be the main cause of caries. Probiotic bacteria can prevent and decrease the incident of dental caries or tooth decay and work directly on the Streptococcus mutans as cariogenic bacteria. Yogurt is a food produced by probiotic bacterial fermentation of milk. Yogurt has a high buffer capacity, it does not cause erosive, and it has a low cariogenic potential. Based on the background of the study, the writer is interested to conduct a study about the salivary pH before and after gargling with yogurt and kefir. Method: The research design was pre-experimental using pre and post-test group design. The samples consist of 27 people. Results: The data results of yogurt group was analyzed using parametric Paired T-Test with a significant value of 0,000, which means that there was significant difference between the groups before and after gargling with yogurt. Conclusion: There is a difference of the pH of saliva before and after gargling with yogurt.

Abstract

Introduction: Augmented reality (AR) is an innovative technology being increasingly utilized in oral health promotion and education. This systematic review aimed to map and describe the types of augmented reality interventions, target populations, outcomes, and implementation challenges in oral health promotion and education. Methods: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A systematic literature search was performed across Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed, to identify articles published between 2020 and 2024. Studies were included based on predefined criteria focusing on augmented reality interventions for oral health promotion and education. Exclusion criteria comprised review articles, editorials, commentaries, and studies without full-text availability. Study selection was conducted independently by two reviewers. Results: A total of 456 articles were identified, of which nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies targeted children (55.5%) and used non-randomized designs (77.8%). Augmented Reality interventions included smart toothbrushes, serious games, and mobile applications. Overall, these interventions improved oral health knowledge, motivation, oral hygiene status, and brushing skills. Conclusion: This systematic review underscores the potential of AR as an innovative tool in oral health education. AR interventions have shown effectiveness in improving knowledge, motivation, self-efficacy, and health behaviors across diverse populations, particularly among children and vulnerable groups. However, while the findings are promising, limitations related to study design, sample sizes, and intervention durations necessitate further research.
