Abstract

Background: Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) causes dental caries. S. mutans biofilms are inhibited by the antibacterial properties of Ziziphus mauritiana Lam (Z. mauritiana Lam). Purpose: Evaluating the potential of Z. mauritiana Lam in inhibiting the growth and biofilm formation of S. mutans ATCC 25175 in vitro. Methods: This study used the ethanolic extract of Z. mauritiana Lam as the test material and S. mutans as the research subject. Spectrophotometry (620 nm) was used to assess the growth of S. mutans, the inhibition of S. mutans biofilm using a 1% crystal violet staining was measured by spectrophotometry (520 nm), and the visualization of the biofilm mass was conducted with an electric microscope (200x). Results: At all concentrations, Z. mauritiana Lam displayed excellent growth inhibition of S. mutans 0.04–0.09 (< 300 CFU/mL) and was able to inhibit the formation of S. mutans biofilm with a strong scale of optical density (OD) 0.4 at 24 hours incubation time. At the same time, the incubation time of 48 and 72 hours tended to have moderate-scale biofilm inhibition (OD 0.2–3.9). At a concentration of 25%, the biofilm mass decreased by a relatively small size, the same as the positive control group. At 50%, 12.5%, and 6.25%, it was seen that the S. mutans biofilm mass experienced a dominant loss. Conclusion: Z. mauritiana Lam can be bacteriostatic against the growth of S. mutans and can inhibit the formation of biofilms by degrading the structure and mass of S. mutans biofilms.

Abstract

Introduction: The primary second molar relation is also called the terminal plane, which is the relation between the distal surface of the maxillary and mandibular second primary molars in a centric occlusion position. One of the most important characteristics of the ideal occlusion development on the primary dentition is if the primary second molar relation classified as the flush terminal plane. This relation plays a significant role in determining the relation in permanent molar because the eruption of the first permanent molars are guided by the distal surface of the maxillary and mandibular second primary molars. The purpose of this study was to found out the clinical description of the primary second molar relation among the preschool-aged children in four kindergartens in Banda Aceh. Methods: This study was a descriptive study with cross-sectional study approach. The subject selection method was performed with a purposive sampling method involving as much as 37 subjects, which were students of State Kindergarten of Pembina 1, State Kindergarten 2, State Kindergarten 3, and State Kindergarten of Adidarma 4, Banda Aceh. The examination was performed by using the intraoral mirror when the teeth were in the centric occlusion position. Decisions regarding the primary second molar relation were made by the bilateral occlusion (left and right). Results: The flush terminal plane was found in 45.9% of all respondents, the mesial step was 54.1%, and the distal step was 0.0%. Conclusion: The primary second molar relation among preschool-aged children generally had the mesial step.

Abstract

ABSTRAKOral thrush merupakan infeksi jamur didalam mulut yang umum terjadi pada bayi. Etiologi utama oral thrush disebabkan kebersihan yang tidak adekuat. Faktor tersebut dapat berasal dari rongga mulut bayi, kulit puting Ibu, kebersihan tangan Ibu dn bayi serta dari peralatan makan dan minum bayi. Diagnosis kerja umumnyaa diperoleh melalui anamnesis dan pemeriksaan klinis. Biopsi dapat dilakukan untuk konfirmasi diagnosis apabila oral thrush menyerupai kondisi oral lain. Gambaran klinis dapat berupa bercak putih menyerupai krimnyang dapat diseka pada mukosa mulut serta pada beberapa kondisi dapat meninggalkan dasar hiperemis setelah diseka.Oral higiene yang adekuat mampu menghilangkan infeksi jamur jika belum terlalu parah. Apabila sudah meninggalkan permukaan hiperemis saat diseka dan lokasi jamur makin meluas dapat dibantu dengan obat anti jamur seperti miconazole cream. Selain itu, diperlukan pula mengurangi faktor predisposisi yang terlibat, sepert sanitasi bayi dan Ibu guna menunjang efektivitas obat mengeliminir jamur. Cara pemakaain obat yang tidak tepat akan menyebabkan perawatan tidak berhasil. Oleh karena itu, dokter gigi harus mengedukasi secara baik dan benar mengenai tatacara pnggunaan obat dan pembersihan mulut bayi agar terapi yang diberikan sesuai harapan.Kata kunci : oral thrush, kebersihan mulut, infeksi jamurABSTRACTOral thrush is a common fungal infection in the mouth of infants. The main etiology of oral thrush is due to inadequate oral hygiene. These factors can come from the baby's oral cavity, the skin of the mother's nipples, the cleanliness of the hands of the mother and baby as well as from the baby's eating and drinking utensils. The working diagnosis is generally obtained through history taking and clinical examination. A biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis if oral thrush resembles other oral conditions. The clinical picture can be white patches resembling cream that can be wiped on the oral mucosa and in some conditions can leave a hyperemic base after wiping.Adequate oral hygiene can eliminate fungal infections if they are not too severe. If it has left a hyperemic surface when wiped and the location of the fungus is expanding, it can be helped with antifungal drugs such as miconazole cream. In addition, it is also necessary to reduce the predisposing factors involved, such as sanitation of infants and mothers to support the effectiveness of drugs to eliminate fungi. Improper use of the drug will result in unsuccessful treatment. Therefore, dentists must educate properly and correctly about the procedures for using drugs and cleaning the baby's mouth so that the therapy given is success.Keywords: oral thrush, oral hygiene, fungal infection

Abstract

Background: Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis is a common condition of oral disease in children. Lesions are generally found on the mucous lips, tongue, cheeks, even on the palatal mucosa. Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis is triggered by infection with Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) type 1. The diagnosis and treatment of this oral disease are often wrong because proper history is not explored and treatment seems successful due to the self-limiting nature of this lesion. Objective: This paper reports 2 cases of gingivostomatitis in different children, with the same diagnosis but different treatment. Materials and Methods: There were 2 cases, a 12-year- old and 10 year-old boy comes with his parents to the dentist, then introduces the patient to the case and performs a clinical examination followed by anamnesis and diagnosis. The examination results lead to a similar diagnosis but the clinical signs and treatment are slightly different. Results: Accurate history and clinical examination are necessary for appropriate therapy. In these two cases, one child only received palliative care and the other required supportive care. Education about viral transmission to parents is one of the keys to successful treatment. Conclusion: Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis affects youngsters. Vesicles and mouth ulcerations may precede this virus-caused sickness. Clinical factors and patient needs determine causal, symptomatic, palliative, and supportive therapy for this instance.
