Abstract

Background: Periodontal disease is a disease that often occurs in the oral cavity with prevalence in Semarang City increasing in 2016 by 67.18% to 89.53%. One of the causes of periodontal disease is the buildup of Stapylococcus aureus bacterial biofilm during the initial colonization of the tooth pellicle formation. One herbal ingredient that can be used as an antibacterial is black cumin (Nigella sativa). Gel nanoemulsion technology has the advantage of increasing material stability. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of black cumin gel nanoemulsion on the growth of Stapylococcus aureus biofilm thickness. Methods:The treatment group consisted of black cumin gel nanoemulsion with a concentration of 10% and a concentration of 15% and the control group, namely 0.2% chlorhexidine and distilled water. Stapylococcus aureus biofilm thickness was measured using an ELISA-reader. Statistical tests were carried out using the One Way Anova test. Results: The average thickness of Stapylococcus aureus with the addition of black cumin gel nanoemulsion with a concentration of 15% was the lowest, namely 0.046, while the thickness of Stapylococcus aureus with the addition of distilled water was the highest, namely 0.158. The One Way Anova test obtained a significance figure of 0.000 (p<0.05) so it could be concluded that there were significant differences in the 4 Stapylococcus aureus thickness test groups.Conclusion: Black cumin gel nanoemulsion concentrations of 10% and 15% have antibacterial properties which can reduce the thickness of Stapylococcus aureus biofilm.

Abstract

Background: Pulp necrosis, a common dental issue, significantly impacts quality of life, making effective root canal treatment essential for addressing pain, infection, and psychological distress. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between patient satisfaction and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) following root canal treatment, providing insights to improve dental care and patient outcomes.Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design, involving 118 patients with pulp necrosis who had completed root canal treatment at Sultan Agung Dental and Oral Hospital in Semarang. Data were collected using a validated patient satisfaction questionnaire and the OHIP-14 to assess Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL). Descriptive analysis and Spearman’s correlation test were used to evaluate demographic characteristics, satisfaction levels, and the relationship between satisfaction and OHRQoL, with significance set at p<0.05.Results: The study found that most respondents were female (59.3%), aged 26–35 years (35.6%), and held a diploma or bachelor's degree (53.4%), with an average high patient satisfaction score of 4.33 ± 0.6. Significant improvements in Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) were observed after root canal treatment, with all OHIP-14 domain scores decreasing significantly (p < 0.001).Conclusion: The study concluded that the success of root canal treatment was closely linked to patient satisfaction and quality of life improvements, influenced by clinical effectiveness, dentist-patient interactions, and non-clinical factors like cost and accessibility.
