Abstract

Background: Knowledge and attitudes of the community, especially older people who wear complete dentures, can influence the quality of life. Quality of life in older people with tooth loss can be treated by making dentures, which are generally complete dentures. Objective: This study determined the relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards the quality of life of elderly complete denture users during the new normal period. This type of research is an analytical survey. Methods: The research method is analytic survey research using a cross-sectional design. The research sample used a purposive sampling technique with a sample size of elderly patients using complete dentures, totaling 36 respondents at the Baiturrahmah General Hospital during the new normal period in January-December 2022. Univariate data analysis processing was presented as a frequency distribution and bivariate data analysis using the Spearman correlation test. Results: Significant (p0.05) in the good knowledge category for 20 (55.6%) respondents, positive attitude category for 27 (75%) respondents, and high quality of life category for 18 (50%) respondents. Conclusion: Knowledge of Quality of life 0.01 (p0.05) and attitudes towards quality of life 0.05 (p0.05).

Abstract

Background. The patients oral cavity is one of the transmission agents that has the potential for cross-infection. Saliva adhering to the surface of the alginate mold, apart from containing a lot of microorganisms, also disrupts changes in the alginate surface due to changes in salivary pH. Sungkai leaves (Peronema canescens Jack) contain active compounds that can maintain the alginate constituent elements integrity and alginates surface properties. Objective. This study aimed to determine the biological properties of Peronema canescens Jack on changes in the alginate impression surface by immersion and spraying methods. Materials and Methods. The research material comprised 72 alginate impressions totaling six groups (12 samples/group). The sample categories used matrices and stainless steel rings and were measured within 5, 10, and 15 minutes. Changes in the alginate impression surface were observed using a stereo microscope. Results. Soaking and spraying with Sungkai leaf extract within 5 and 10 minutes did not affect the surface of the mold, while spraying within 15 minutes was within standard clinical limits. Conclusion. Sungkai leaf extract can maintain the integrity of alginate impressions by immersion and spraying techniques.
