Abstract

One of the oral complications in head and neck radiotherapy is xerostomia. The severity of xerostomia can be observed using objective examination (unstimulated salivary flow rate measurement) and subjective examination (assessment using xerostomia questionnaires). There are two questionnaires used in assessment of xerostomia in head and neck cancer radiotherapy namely Xerostomia Questionnaire (XQ) and Groningen Radiotherapy-Induced Xerostomia Questionnaire (GRIX). Objective: To know the correlation between unstimulated salivary flow rate and severity of xerostomia assessment using two questionnaires. Methods: 30 head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy at Radiotherapy Department of RSUP Dr. Sardjito Yogyakarta between January-April 2013 were involved in this study. The assessment of xerostomia used xerostomia questionnaires (XQ and GRIX). Unstimulated salivary flow rate was measured in ml/minutes. Data was analyzed using Spearman Rank Correlation. Results: There is a negative significant correlation between salivary flow rate and severity of xerostomia with correlation coefficient -0.452 (p

Abstract

Fixed orthodontic appliances to correct malocclusion and maintain periodontal tissues have complex designs and appliance shapes that can accelerate plaque formation. Preventive efforts to maintain oral hygiene status during treatment of fixed orthodontic devices can be done by using alternative mouthwashes made from natural ingredients, one of them is forest honey. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of rinsing with 10% forest honey solution on reducing plaque accumulation in fixed orthodontic appliance patients. Type of research was Quasi Experiment with Pre-Post Test with Control Group Design. A sample of 40 people was divided into a control group rinsing with distilled water and a treatment group rinsing with 10% forest honey solution for 4, 6, and 8 days. Assessment of plaque accumulation using the Orthodontic Plaque Index (OPI). Data test results were normally distributed and homogen (p>0.05). One Way Anova test showed a significant difference between OPI before and after in the control group and treatment group (p<0,05). Post Hoc LSD results showed insignificant values ​​(p>0.05) in group K (aquadest) and group P1 (4 days), while in group P2 (6 days) and P3 (8 days) rinsing 10% forest honey solution showed significant values ​​(p<0.05). Rinsing with 10% forest honey solution for 6 days and 8 days is effective in reducing plaque accumulation in fixed orthodontic appliance patients.
