Abstract

Background: Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) is an effective root canal treatment, with calcium and hydroxyl ions effectively released on day 7. However, prolonged use can diminish dentinal tubule hardness and dissolve the hydroxyapatite crystals within them. Nanoparticle Ca(OH)2 demonstrated superior antimicrobial activity compared to conventional Ca(OH)2 because of its deeper penetration into the dentinal tubules.. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of particle size on dentinal tubule hardness. Methods: True experiment with fifteen premolars with one root canal, no caries, and apical closure were divided into three treatment groups: conventional Ca(OH)2 (group 1, n=5), Ca(OH)2 nanoparticles (group 2, n=5), and untreated (control group), n=5. All samples were incubated for 7 days, and hardness was measured using a micro-Vickers hardness tester at 1/3 of the root canal. Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Mann-whitney post hoc analysis was used to compare the mean microvickers hardness values among different groups. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results: The results showed that there was significant difference between conventional Ca(OH)2 (73.00 ± 2.71) and Ca(OH)2 nanoparticles (67.40 ± 0.62) p=0.01 and the control group (70.68 ± 1.70; p>0.05) and Ca(OH)2 nanoparticles p=0.03. Conclusions: The use of Ca(OH)2 nanoparticles as an intracanal medicament for 7 days reduced dentin microhardness, whereas conventional Ca(OH)2 did not result in any change in microhardness. Particle size affects the hardness of dentinal tubules.

Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: The accumulation of dental plaque is a common cause of dental and oral health problems such as caries and periodontitis, therefore it is necessary to control plaque. Brushing is the most effective way to control plaque. Currently, there are various toothpastes used by the people, one of which is herbal toothpaste. One of the herbal toothpastes that has an antibacterial potential is rambutan honey toothpaste. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of rambutan honey toothpaste in reducing the dental plaque index. Methods: this research was Quasi Experimental design research with a pre-test post-test control group design. The twenty samples were divided into three treatment groups, namely the group that brushed teeth with base toothpaste, rambutan honey toothpaste, and aquadest. All samples were asked to brush their teeth using base toothpaste, rambutan honey toothpaste, and aquadest twice, after using toothpaste for one day, the plaque index was measured by the Silness and Loe method. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and post hoc Mann-Whitney tests (p<0.05). Results: There was a significant difference between the plaque index score before and after using rambutan honey toothpaste with a p value=0.005 (p≤0.05). The results also showed the effect of brushing teeth with base toothpaste, rambutan honey toothpaste, and aquadest on plaque index with a value of p=0.005 (p≤0.05). The results showed that there was no significant difference in dental plaque index between base toothpaste and rambutan honey toothpaste with a p value=0.583. Conclusion: Rambutan honey toothpaste has a potential in reducing the dental plaque index.Keywords: plaque index, rambutan honey, toothpaste

Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Averrhoa bilimbi L, known for its oxalic acid and peroxide content, may serve as a natural alternative to synthetic whitening agents Synthetic teeth-whitening agents, such as carbamide peroxide, are effective but often cause adverse effects like enamel demineralization and sensitivity. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 50% Averrhoa bilimbi L gel on enamel hardness and compare it with a synthetic whitening agent and a negative control.  Methods:  This experimental laboratory study utilized 36 teeth from 18 New Zealand rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), Averrhoa bilimbi L extract was obtained via maceration with 96% ethanol and formulated into a gel. Eighteen New Zealand rabbits (36 teeth) were divided into three groups: negative control, carbamide peroxide (10%), and 50% Averrhoa bilimbi gel. Each group underwent a 4-hour daily treatment for 14 days, following which enamel hardness was evaluated using the Vickers hardness test. Data were analyzed using ANOVA (p<0.05). Results: There were no significant differences in enamel hardness among the three groups (p=0.4240), indicating that Averrhoa bilimbi L gel had comparable effects on enamel hardness to carbamide peroxide and the negative control. Conclusions: 50% Averrhoa bilimbi L gel is a safe natural alternative for teeth whitening, as it does not significantly impact enamel hardness. Further research is recommended to explore its effects on soft tissues and overall dental safety.KEY WORDS: Averrhoa bilimbi L, hardness, whiteningPengaruh gel Averrhoa bilimbi L. sebagai bahan pemutih gigi alami terhadap kekerasan email gigi: studi eksperimentalABSTRAKPendahuluan: Averrhoa bilimbi L, yang dikenal karena kandungan asam oksalat dan peroksidanya, dapat menjadi alternatif alami pengganti bahan pemutih gigi sintetis. Bahan pemutih gigi sintetis, seperti karbamid peroksida, efektif tetapi sering menimbulkan efek samping seperti demineralisasi email gigi dan sensitivitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efek gel Averrhoa bilimbi L 50% terhadap kekerasan email gigi dan membandingkannya dengan bahan pemutih sintetis serta kontrol negatif. Metode: Studi laboratorium eksperimental ini menggunakan 36 gigi dari 18 kelinci New Zealand (Oryctolagus cuniculus), ekstrak Averrhoa bilimbi L diperoleh melalui maserasi dengan etanol 96% dan diformulasikan menjadi gel. Delapan belas kelinci New Zealand (36 gigi) dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok: kontrol negatif, carbamide peroksida (10%), dan gel Averrhoa bilimbi 50%. Setiap kelompok menjalani perlakuan harian selama 4 jam selama 14 hari, setelah itu kekerasan email dievaluasi menggunakan uji kekerasan Vickers. Data dianalisis menggunakan ANOVA (p<0,05). Hasil: tidak ada perbedaan signifikan dalam kekerasan enamel gigi di antara ketiga kelompok (p = 0,4240), yang menunjukkan bahwa gel Averrhoa bilimbi memiliki efek yang sebanding dengan karbamid peroksida dan kontrol negatif. Simpulan: Gel Averrhoa bilimbi dengan konsentrasi 50% merupakan alternatif alami yang aman untuk pemutih gigi, karena tidak memengaruhi kekerasan enamel secara signifikan. Penelitian lebih lanjut disarankan untuk mengeksplorasi efeknya pada jaringan lunak dan keseluruhan keamanan gigi.KATA KUNCI: averrhoa bilimbi, kekerasan, pemutih

Abstract

Healing of skin excision wounds involves complex stages, with inflammatory macrophages playing a key role in regulating the inflammatory response and tissue regeneration. Staurogyne elongata (Reundeu leaves), a medicinal plant native to Indonesia, contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, steroids, triterpenoids, and polyphenols, which exhibit antioxidant and antibacterial properties. This literature review aimed to explore the prospective role of S. elongata in modulating inflammatory macrophage activity during skin excision wound healing. Articles published within the last 10 years were retrieved from ProQuest, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Science Publishing Group databases. The scientific implication is that Staurogyne elongata (Reundeu leaves) has potential therapeutic effects on skin excision wound healing by modulating inflammatory macrophage activity. Specifically, its bioactive compounds may promote the transition of macrophages from a pro-inflammatory (M1) to an anti-inflammatory (M2) state, leading to reduced inflammation and enhanced tissue regeneration. The results suggest that S. elongata could be developed as a natural, cost-effective adjunct treatment to improve wound healing outcomes, highlighting the need for further experimental validation, clinical studies, and pharmaceutical formulation development.
