Abstract

Dental plaque is a significant factor in developing oral diseases, particularly in children with special needs who may face challenges maintaining oral hygiene. This study explores the potential of a mouthwash formulation incorporating Kerinci cinnamon leaf (Cinnamomum burmanii) and Tangkit pineapple core (Ananas comosus) extracts in preventing dental plaque growth. Both extracts were chosen due to their known antibacterial properties and natural origin, making them suitable for children with sensitivities to synthetic chemicals. The formulation was tested in varying ratios to determine the most effective combination for inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans, a primary bacterium responsible for dental plaque. The results indicated that a 50:50 ratio of cinnamon leaf and pineapple core extracts exhibited the highest antibacterial activity (p-value 0,034), outperforming other ratios such as 75:25 and 25:75. This suggests a synergistic interaction between the two extracts, enhancing their combined efficacy. Further research is recommended to optimize the formulation and evaluate its long-term effectiveness and safety in clinical settings

Abstract

The Sungkai leaf (Peronema canescens Jack), which is rich in alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenolics, has long been used as a natural immune booster, particularly during the pandemic. With increasing concerns over the health risks of fluoride, such as dental fluorosis and systemic toxicity, the demand for natural alternatives in oral care has risen. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the physical stability of a gel toothpaste containing Sungkai leaf extract by examining the effects of varying concentrations of Na-CMC (Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose) as a gelling agent. Using an experimental one-shot case study design, the physical stability of different concentrations of NaCMC (3%, 4%, 5%, and 6%) was assessed. Stability testing was performed on 5 sample formulations per concentration. The tests included organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, foam height, and viscosity over four weeks. The results showed that all formulations met the Indonesian National Standard (SNI No.12-3524-1995), with semi-solid consistency, distinctive Sungkai odor, and slightly bitter taste. The average pH ranged from 6.42 to 6.84, the foam heights were stable, and the viscosity increased with higher Na-CMC concentrations, confirming the stability of the formulation. These findings suggest that natural Sungkai leaf-based toothpaste could provide a promising alternative to traditional fluoride-based products, particularly in markets concerned about chemical ingredients in oral care products.

Abstract

Stunting merupakan masalah gizi kronis yang tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh asupan makanan, tetapi juga oleh kondisi kesehatan gigi dan mulut, terutama pada ibu hamil dan balita. Karies dan infeksi mulut dapat mengganggu proses makan serta penyerapan nutrisi, sehingga berdampak pada pertumbuhan anak. Materi edukasi berfokus pada pemanfaatan pangan lokal yang tidak hanya berperan dalam meningkatkan asupan gizi dan mengurangi risiko stunting, tetapi juga membantu proses self cleansing serta mendukung kesehatan gigi dan mulut, seperti madu hutan, ikan lambak, nanas, buah senduduk dan bahan pangan lokal lainnya. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan di Desa Simpang Sungai Duren, Kabupaten Muaro Jambi, pada minggu pertama dan keempat bulan Agustus 2025. Metode kegiatan meliputi pre-test kuesioner pengetahuan dan observasi teknik menyikat gigi menggunakan pantom, penyuluhan tentang menjaga kesehatan gigi dengan pemanfaatan bahan lokal, demonstrasi menyikat gigi bersama, serta pembagian modul dan bahan pangan. Pertemuan kedua mencakup post-test, observasi ulang, dan diskusi penguatan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata skor pengetahuan dari 8,06 menjadi 8,11 (p=0,894) dan sikap dari 9,49 menjadi 9,57 (p=0,785), namun keduanya tidak signifikan. Sebaliknya, perilaku kader meningkat signifikan dari 13,77 menjadi 22,00 (p=0,000). Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa edukasi berbasis bahan lokal efektif dalam mengubah perilaku kader, memperkuat peran UKGMD, dan mendukung pencegahan stunting di tingkat desa.

Abstract

Bacteria in dental and oral diseases can lead to systemic issues like kidney and heart disease, emphasizing the importance of maintaining oral hygiene. Disclosing solution, a plaque-revealing agent, is pivotal in assessing plaque removal efficacy. The optimal concentration of rose pink food coloring for plaque visibility is 2.5 g/20 ml water. However, the potential impact of this coloring on oral epithelium remains unstudied. Objective: This research aimed to evaluate the effect of disclosing solution food coloring on the gingival mucosal layer in mice. Pure experimental research with a control group design involved 6 mice (Mus musculus) each in treatment and control groups. Erythrocyn, derived from rose pink food coloring, was applied to mice’s gingiva for 2 minutes daily over 7 days. Labio-gingival epithelial cells were then sampled and analyzed using the modified Feulgen-Roseenbeck method. 58.33% of mice showed karyolysis in gingival epithelial cells, contrasting with no karyolysis in lip mucosa. Careful management of food coloring-containing erythrosine as a plaque detection agent is crucial to prevent contact with oral mucosa or prompt cleaning if contact occurs.

Abstract

Children with Intellectual Disabilities have a higher risk of oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases compared to other children. Therefore, efforts are needed to help maximize the prevention of these diseases. The abundance of herbal materials in the community, which have been proven to have antibacterial effects, has been increasingly formulated into toothpaste. This is expected not only to provide a mechanical cleaning effect on plaque but also to have antibacterial effects and inhibit plaque growth for a longer period in the oral cavity.This research aims to determine the difference in subgingival bacterial colonies after brushing teeth with various herbal-containing toothpaste in children with intellectual disabilities. The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental pre-post control group design. Subgingival fluid samples were taken from respondents aged 6-12 years before and after brushing their teeth with four groups: (K) without toothpaste, (A) toothpaste containing betel leaves (Piper betle Linn.), (B) toothpaste containing Miswak (Salvadora persica), and (C) toothpaste containing Clove (Eugenia caryophyllus). The samples were then cultured in Plate Count Agar media for 48 hours. Colony counting was performed using the Total Plate Count (TPC) method with a Colony Counter. Statistical analysis was conducted using Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests.The results of the study showed a decrease in the number of CFUs (colony-forming units) after brushing teeth. Significant reductions were obtained in toothpaste B (p-value = 0.046) and toothpaste C (p-value = 0.028). In conclusion, toothpaste containing Miswak and Clove effectively reduces the number of bacterial colonies formed in subgingival fluid samples..
