Abstract

Caries is a disease of the hard tissue of the teeth caused by bacteria adhering to the surface of the teeth in the form of plaque. The formation of dental plaque can be prevented by plaque control including mechanical control and chemical control, one of which is gargling using natural ingredients, namely young coconut water (Cocus Nucifera L Var. Viridis). Pure coconut water has antimicrobial activity due to its high lauric acid content and has been used as a remedy for several oral infections. This study aims to determine the effect of young coconut water gargling (Cocus Nucifera L Var. Viridis) on dental plaque. The type of research used was quasi-experimental with a pretest and posttest one group design. The sample in this study was taken by means of purposive sampling totaling 44 people. Measurements were made before and after consuming 100 ml of young coconut water (Cocus Nucifera L Var. Viridis). Plaque was measured using the Personal Hygiene Performance (PHP) method. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney test. The results of the study gargling young coconut water (Cocos Nucifera L Var. Viridis) 1.31 and after decreasing 0.47. There was a significant difference between before and after gargling young coconut water (Cocos Nucifera L Var. Viridis) p=0.000. The conclusion in this study was that gargling with young coconut water (Cocos Nucifera L Var. Viridis) had an effect on reducing the dental plaque index

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic, incurable disease associated with a reduced life expectancy of approximately 10 years due to cardiovascular complications such as ischemic heart disease and stroke. According to the International Diabetes Federation and WHO, the number of people with diabetes in Indonesia is projected to rise from 8.4 million in 2000 to 21.3 million in 2030. Data from the 2018 National Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) indicated an increase in prevalence from 6.9% in 2013 to 8.5% in 2018, with higher rates in urban (2.0%) compared to rural (1.0%) areas, and the highest prevalence observed up to the age of 65. South Kalimantan ranks second nationally in periodontal disease prevalence, which is significantly associated with diabetes. If left untreated, periodontal disease in diabetic patients may lead to severe infection and even death. This study aimed to analyze factors influencing blood glucose levels and periodontal disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. It employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 30 diabetic respondents. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between stress level (p = 0.013) and periodontal disease (p = 0.004) with blood glucose levels (p < 0.05). The study concludes that stress level and periodontal disease are significantly related to blood glucose control in diabetic patients. It is recommended to provide greater attention through curative efforts, including non-pharmacological therapies such as relaxation techniques, diabetes exercise programs, and proper tooth-brushing education for patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Mulut adalah jendela kesehatan kita. Gangguan pada gigi dan mulut sangat memengaruhi kebugaran tubuh secara keseluruhan, sehingga menjaga kebersihannya sangat penting untuk mencegah risiko penyakit tambahan. Merujuk pada Riskesdas 2018, karies gigi masih menjadi masalah utama di Indonesia dengan prevalensi mencapai 88,8% dan tingkat kerusakan gigi sebesar 45,3%. Secara keseluruhan, terdapat 57,6% masyarakat yang mengalami gangguan kesehatan gigi dan mulut di tingkat nasional. Khusus di Kalimantan Selatan, prevalensi gangguan ini mencapai 59,6%, tetapi akses atau kesadaran terhadap pelayanan tenaga medis gigi masih sangat rendah, yakni hanya sebesar 12,3%. Usia sekolah dasar merupakan periode krusial untuk menanamkan kebiasaan hidup sehat dan melatih keterampilan motorik. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan siswa di SDN Sungai Jingah Banjarmasin melalui penyuluhan kesehatan gigi, sikat gigi bersama dan pemeriksaan gigi. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian ini menunjukkan bahwa murid- murid SDN Sungai Jingah Banjarmasin telah mampu mempraktikkan cara menyikat gigi dengan baik dan benar secara mandiri. Hal ini diharapkan dapat menjadi langkah preventif yang berkelanjutan dalam meningkatkan derajat kesehatan gigi dan mulut siswa di sekolah tersebut.
