Abstract

Streptococus sanguinis is a pioneer bacteria that colonize the oral cavity, plays a role in plaque formation, and contributes to the development of dental caries. Plaque control is needed to inhibit the growth of microorganisms that cause caries by using herbal plants such as starfruit. The aim of the research was to determine whether or not there was an antibacterial effect of starfruit extract (Averrahoa bilimbilin).) against the bacteria Streptococus sanguinis. This research includes laboratory experiments with the sample as a pure culture of Streptococus sanguinis obtained from the Microbiology Laboratory of North Sumatra University Hospital. There were 5 treatment groups (starfruit extract concentration 6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 75%), positive control (chlorhexidine 0.2%), and negative control (DMSO). The antibacterial effect was tested using the disc diffusion method. Then, the data was analyzed using statistical tests, one-way ANOVA, and, after this, LSD. The research results were obtained mean, and standard deviation of the diameter of the inhibition zone of star fruit extract, concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and positive control for bacteria Streptococus sanguinis were 7.05 ± 0.192 mm, 9.38 ± 0.171 mm, 13.38 ± 0.171 mm, 14.30 ± 0.216 mm, and 14.38 ± 0.096 mm, while the concentration of star fruit extract was 6.25% and the negative control no inhibition zone was found. Test results from one-way ANOVA revealed that there was a significant antibacterial effect of star fruit extract against the bacteria Streptococus sanguinis (p≤0.05). Test results after this LSD found that the antibacterial effect of the 75% concentration extract was not significant with the positive control, and the 6.25% concentration was not significant with the negative control (p>0.05). From the research results, it can be concluded that the higher the concentration of the extract, the higher the antibacterial effect, with the most effective concentration being 75% and the MIC at a concentration of 12.5%.

Abstract

Dental caries is caused by gram-positive bacteria Streptococcus mutans, which is part of the normal flora of the mouth. Herbal medicines have powerful antibacterial compounds that can be used to limit the growth of germs that cause infections. The aim of the research was to determine whether starfruit extract (Averrhoa blimbi L.) has antibacterial properties against Streptococcus mutans. This type of research uses a posttest only control group design in the laboratory. Streptococcus mutans in pure culture were used as the research sample. This study had two control groups, one with four repetitions of DMSO as a negative control and one with a positive control (0.2% chlorhexidine), and four treatment groups with starfruit extract concentrations (20%, 40%, 60%, and 80 %). The disc diffusion method was used to test the antibacterial effect. One-way ANOVA and post hoc LSD statistical tests were then used to test the results. The results showed that, for Streptococus mutans bacteria, the mean and standard deviation of the diameter of the inhibition zone of starfruit extract at concentrations of 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% were 12.03 ± 0.33 mm, 16.70 ± 0, 48 mm, 19.98 ± 0.13 mm, 22.25 ± 0.26 mm, and 19.25 ± 0.91 mm in the positive control, but no zone of inhibition was observed in the negative control. The width of the inhibition zone in starfruit extract (Averrahoa blimbi L.) at doses of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, positive control, and negative control was significantly different, according to the results of the one-way ANOVA test (p=0.000; p≤ 0.05). Antibacterial efficacy against Streptococcus mutans varied significantly (p≤0.05) among all star fruit extract groups and positive and negative controls, based on LSD post hoc test findings. Based on the research results, it can be said that star fruit extract at the most effective concentration, namely 80%, has antibacterial properties against Streptococcus mutans.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria that can colonise root canals, leading to infection and pain. Root canal irrigants are substances used during root canal treatment, and sodium hypochlorite is the gold standard, despite its toxicity. Red dragon fruit peel has several active compounds with antibacterial properties. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of red dragon fruit peel extract (Hylocereus polyrhizus) against S. aureus as a root canal irrigant. This was an experimental study with a post-test-only group design. The study population was pure S. aureus. The study consisted of five treatment groups: red dragon fruit peel extract at concentrations of 80%, 40%, and 20%, 0.2% chlorhexidine, and DMSO, with five repetitions. Antibacterial effectiveness was tested using the disc diffusion method. Data were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis statistical test and Post Hoc LSD. The study results showed average inhibition zone diameters of red dragon fruit peel extract against S. aureus of 12.18±0.228 mm, 11.16±0.305 mm, and 9.54±0.603 mm for concentrations of 80%, 40%, and 20%, respectively. The highest average inhibition zone diameter was found in the positive control (0.2% chlorhexidine), which was 13.20±0.255 mm, while the negative control (DMSO) showed no inhibition against S. aureus. The Kruskal-Wallis test results indicated that there was a significant effect of red dragon fruit peel extract against S. aureus (p=0.0001; p<0.05). The Post Hoc LSD test results showed that there were differences in the effectiveness of red dragon fruit peel extract between the two different groups (p=0.0001; p<0.05). Red dragon fruit peel extract can be used as a root canal irrigant, with a concentration of 80% being the most effective concentration.

Abstract

Oral and dental health is a component of overall health that can significantly impact a child's quality of life. Dental caries is a major oral health problem among preschool children. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the severity of dental caries and the quality of life of children attending TK Bersama Ceria Delitua kindergarten. This analytical survey employed a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of all children enrolled. A sample size of 30 participants was selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires and dental examinations. Data analysis was performed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The mean decay (d) score was 5.47 ± 2.474, the mean extraction (e) score was 0.80 ± 1.064, and the mean filling (f) score was 0.13 ± 0.434. The overall mean def-t score was 6.40 ± 2.908. The mean child quality of life, as measured by the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS), was 46.43 ± 7.873. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between the severity of dental caries and children's quality of life (p = 0.003; r = 0.521), indicating a strong relationship. The study concludes that a higher def-t score is associated with a poorer quality of life in children.

Abstract

Tooth discoloration can be caused by many factors, including food and beverages. One of the drinks that can affect tooth color is coffee. Tooth discoloration can be overcome by teeth whitening procedures, which often use chemicals that can cause tooth sensitivity. Therefore, in this study, researchers are looking for safer alternatives, namely using herbal ingredients such as kepok banana peel and pineapple stem. This study used a laboratory experimental method with a pre-test and post-test only research design with control groups. The sample consisted of 27 central and lateral incisor teeth, which were divided into three treatment groups. The samples were then soaked for 14 days in coffee solution, and then group one was soaked in 100% kepok banana peel extract, group two was soaked in 100% pineapple stem extract, and group three as a control group was soaked in 6% hydrogen peroxide. All samples were soaked for two days in an incubator. The results of the one-way ANOVA test showed that there was a significant color difference (p<0.05) between the three treatment groups. The Post Hoc LSD test showed there was a significant difference between the 6% hydrogen peroxide group and the two extract groups, and also a significant difference between 100% kepok banana peel and 100% pineapple stem extract. Each group has an effect on tooth discoloration. Hydrogen peroxide is indeed the group with the highest tooth color change but has an effect that can make teeth sensitive. The banana peel and pineapple stem extract groups also had a significant and safer effect on teeth. 100% kepok banana peel extract and 100% pineapple stem extract have an effect on tooth discoloration but are not better than hydrogen peroxide. In addition, 100% pineapple stem extract has a better ability in teeth whitening than 100% kepok banana peel extract.
