Abstract

Caries in permanent first molars is the main cause of the high prevalence of extractions since the first molars are the first teeth to erupt. Such eruption is due to poor behavior in maintaining dental health as well as the anatomical shape of the first molars which have pits and fissures as the places for the food waste to stop. This study aims to determine the dental caries status of permanent first molars among children aged 8-9 years at SDN 35 of North Pontianak. This was a descriptive study with a survey method. The results of the study showed that the highest caries incidence rate of 20% was found in the first permanent molars, namely tooth 4.6. Caries incident was mostly found among female respondents by 69% and aged 9 years by 64%. It can be concluded that there were 65 healthy teeth with the highest number for tooth 1.6 by 48%. Furthermore, there were 119 dental caries with the highest number for tooth 4.6 by 78%. The rates of dental caries among female respondents and those aged 9 years were higher by 69% and 64%, respectively. Dental caries rate among respondents aged 9 years were larger, namely 64%. It is recommended to conduct further study regarding the level of understanding in maintaining dental health among children.

Abstract

Aloe barbadensis is a plant with many applications such as anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and aiding in cell regeneration. Understanding aloe barbadensis' phytochemical profile and pharmacological action is essential since it is believed to have an impact on the formation of teeth and bones. The stability and bioavailability of Aloe barbadensis can be improved by formulating it as an instant powder. The research's objectives are to ascertain the Aloe barbadensis instant powder's qualitative and quantitative phytochemical profile, dosage formulations, and activity testing on hemoglobin, cholesterol, and red blood cell parameters. Samples of aloe barbadensis were washed, and they were then dried for 72 hours at 50°C. Following a maceration process using a 70% ethanol solvent, the extract was dried. Phytochemical screening, TLC profile, and extract description were employed to test the extract qualitatively. The quantities of total flavonoids, total anthraquinones, and total phenolics were determined to quantitatively test the extract. The formulation of the instant powder was then completed and evaluated on female mice using metrics associated with red blood cells, hemoglobin, and cholesterol levels. Furthermore, observations were made on the mice's liver organs. The study's findings revealed a qualitative profile of Aloe barbadensis extract, which included a tasteless, unique odor, milky white hue, and liquid shape. Aloe barbadensis has been demonstrated to contain flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, saponins, and anthraquinones, according to the results of phytochemical screening. Three spots, identified as Rf 3.2 and Rf 8.5 in the Rf 2.3 area, are visible in the chromatographic pattern. Total anthraquinones were discovered to be 4.59%, total flavonoids to be 0.24%, and total phenolic content to be 1.42%. The third formula of instant Aloe barbadensis pollen has been demonstrated through preclinical examinations to have the capacity to reduce cholesterol, boost hemoglobin, and enhance red blood cell count—all of which are associated with the growth of teeth and bones. An SPSS statistical study demonstrating statistically significant differences with other groups supports this. Mice liver histopathological examinations revealed no liver damage in any of the test groups.

Abstract

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is a crucial antibody originating in mucosal lymphoid tissue, actively distributed across the epithelium. It plays a vital role in binding to and neutralizing microbes that threaten organisms through mucosal organs, thereby contributing to mucosal or secretory immunity. This research aims to determine the Cytotoxicity of Sodium Bicarbonate Solution to Human Gingival Fibroblast Cells.  The research method used to investigate the safety and efficacy of various sodium bicarbonate concentrations, we conducted a laboratory experimental study utilizing a post-test-only control group design. Sodium bicarbonate solutions with concentrations of 1%, 2%, 3.5%, 7%, 10%, 15%, and 20% were tested. The results of the study using analysis through ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD revealed that solutions with concentrations of 20%, 15%, and 10% exhibited comparable non-toxicity to fibroblast cells, as they shared the same column. In contrast, concentrations of 7%, 3.5%, 2%, and 1% were found to have toxicity levels that exceeded the IC50 threshold. Further examination using the Tukey HSD test showed that the 2% and 3.5% concentration groups did not show significant differences. In conclusion, the Sodium bicarbonate solutions with concentrations of 7%, 3.5%, 2%, and 1% are not toxic to fibroblast cells and can be used as a basis for further research applications based on sodium bicarbonate materials. It is recommended for future studies to conduct further examinations with different concentrations.

Abstract

Background: Gargling with baking soda stimulates parasympathetic nerves in the brainstem's salivatory nuclei, enhancing saliva flow through taste and tactile stimulation. Objective: This study aims to analyzes the effects of sodium bicarbonate mouth rinses on salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels, flow rate, volume, pH, and viscosity. Methods: A Pre and Post-Control Group Design was employed, involving 42 respondents divided into three groups: a control group using 0.1% povidone iodine, a first treatment group using 1% baking soda, and a second treatment group using 2% baking soda. Participants gargled twice daily for 14 days. Results: Results show that a 1% sodium bicarbonate solution significantly reduced salivary IgA levels, flow rate, and volume while increasing pH and viscosity, suggesting a decrease in immune response and potential anti-inflammatory effects. The 2% sodium bicarbonate solution significantly affected flow rate and volume, whereas the 0.1% povidone iodine solution influenced pH and volume. These findings highlight the effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate as an oral rinse for modulating salivary composition and immune activity. Conclusion: In conclusion, a 1% sodium bicarbonate solution demonstrated the most comprehensive effects, reducing IgA levels and altering saliva properties in ways that may benefit oral health by mitigating inflammation. The 2% solution primarily affected saliva production, while povidone iodine impacted pH and volume. This study suggests that sodium bicarbonate mouth rinses, particularly at 1%, could serve as an effective strategy for regulating oral immune responses and maintaining oral health.
