Abstract

Introduction: Oral mucosal ulceration can be caused by local or systemic factors. One of the local factors often expressed by patients is the result of being bitten. Research data on oral mucosal ulceration has not been widely published, especially in Indonesia, so the purpose of this study was to provide information on the etiology, site distribution and therapy of traumatic ulcers in patients at the Dental Hospital, Universitas Padjadjaran (RSGM Unpad). Methods: A descriptive study, with data obtained secondary from the medical records of patients at the RSGM. Data presentation is done by tabulation and percentage. Results: There were 44 patients consisting of 15 males (34.05%) and 29 females (65.95%), with an age range of 17 – 55 years. Trauma which is the most common cause of ulcers is due to accidentally biting, the most common site is the buccal mucosa, and the most widely used drug is a combination of vitamins and anti-inflammatory which was given to 10 patients with traumatic ulcers (22.7%). Conclusion: The most common cause of oral ulcers is trauma, and the most common trauma in adults is the result of accidentally biting.

Abstract

Introduction: Smoking has adverse effects on the body such as various types of cancer, coronary heart diseases, stroke, peripheral vascular diseases, and oral changes including decreased taste sensation. There have been many studies on the effects of smoking on taste threshold, but specific studies in a group of young adult males and data on the frequency of tongue cleaning habits have not been reported. This study aims to determine the salty taste threshold and tongue cleaning habits in healthy young adult male smokers. Methods: This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study, and the subjects were taken by consecutive sampling. The criteria for the subjects were healthy males, aged 18-24 years old, who had a habit of smoking 10 cigarettes or more per day and had smoked for more than 1 year. A questionnaire was conducted including data on tongue cleaning habits before measuring the salt taste threshold using various concentrations of sodium chloride solution which are 0,012M, 0,014M, and 0,016M.

A questionnaire was conducted including data on tongue cleaning habits before measuring the salt taste threshold using various concentrations of sodium chloride solution which are 0,012M, 0,014M, and 0,016M. Results: Subjects consisted of 76 healthy young adult male smokers for 3-8 years. There were 39%, 53%, and 8% of subjects with a salty taste threshold at concentration 0.012M, 0.014M and 0.016M respectively. Most subjects had a smoking habit for 4 years (36%), and the tongue cleaning habit was not found in the majority of subjects (46%).Conclusion: Most of the subjects had a salty taste threshold higher than normal and more subjects do not have the habit of cleaning the tongue.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Candida albicans merupakan mikroorganisme komensal dalam rongga mulut. Pertumbuhan berlebih Candida albicans dapat dipengaruhi oleh kondisi sistemik maupun faktor lokal. Kondisi sistemik seperti penggunaan obat anti hipertensi pada penderita hipertensi dapat mempengaruhi munculnya gangguan dalam rongga mulut seperti hiposalivasi. Salah satu faktor lokal yang penting adalah kondisi kebersihan mulut dengan salah satu indikatornya seperti terdapatnya lapisan putih pada dorsum lidah atau coated tongue. Tujuan penulisan ini adalah menyajikan informasi mengenai jumlah koloni Candida albicans dari saliva penderita hipertensi dan non hipertensi yang memiliki coated tongue. Metode: Penelitian bersifat deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sebanyak 26 subjek terdiri atas 13 subjek penderita hipertensi dan 13 subjek non hipertensi. Pengambilan saliva menggunakan metode oral rinse concentrate yaitu subjek berkumur dengan larutan phosphate buffer saline (PBS) kemudian ditampung dalam container steril. Identifikasi spesies Candida dilakukan pada medium Chromogenic agar kemudian koloni dihitung menggunakan colony counter dengan pengulangan sebanyak 2 kali. Hasil: Koloni Candida albicans didapatkan hanya pada 50% subjek dalam kedua kelompok. Jumlah koloni Candida albicans dari penderita hipertensi yaitu dengan rata-rata 1429 CFU/ml koloni, dan rata-rata dari 7 subjek non hipertensi yaitu 11300 CFU/ml. Simpulan: Jumlah rata-rata koloni Candida albicans pada kelompok subjek non hipertensi dengan coated tongue lebih tinggi daripada kelompok hipertensi dengan coated tongue, hal ini menunjukkan bahwa coated tongue sebagai salah satu penanda buruknya kebersihan mulut perlu untuk mendapat perhatian dalam hal penanganan maupun pencegahannya.
