Abstract

Pendahuluan: Periodontitis adalah peradangan jaringan pendukung gigi yang disebabkan oleh mikroorganisme, salah satunya Porphyromonas gingivalis, yang dapat menginduksi makrofag dan limfosit serta menstimulasi osteoblas untuk meningkatkan receptor activator of nuclear factor kβ-ligand (RANKL) dan menurunkan osteoprotegerin (OPG). Kondisi inflamasi yang berlanjut mengakibatkan OPG sedikit mengikat RANKL, sehingga RANKL berikatan dengan receptor activator of nuclear factor kβ (RANK) pada prekusor osteoklas. Hal ini akan mengaktifkan osteoklas dan menyebabkan kerusakan tulang. Osteoblas dan osteoklas berperan dalam keseimbangan resorpsi dan aposisi tulang. Biji kopi robusta mengandung senyawa aktif polifenol, alkaloid, dan saponin, yang bersifat antiinflamasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efek gel ekstrak biji kopi robusta (C. canephora) terhadap jumlah osteoblas dan osteoklas pada tulang alveolar tikus periodontitis. Metode: Jenis penelitian eksperimental laboratoris, menggunakan teknik random sampling untuk penelitian in-vivo, diperoleh minimal sampel sebanyak 4 ekor tikus tiap kelompok; kelompok normal (KN); kelompok kontrol negatif gel plasebo K(-)7 dan K(-)14; kelompok kontrol positif gel aloclair K(+)7 dan K(+)14; dan kelompok gel ekstrak biji kopi 50% (KP7 dan KP14). Hewan coba didekapitasi pada hari ke-7 dan 14 setelah pemberian terapi gel, kemudian dilakukan pemrosesan jaringan dan pewarnaan HE. Penghitungan osteoblas dan osteoklas pada area sekitar tulang alveolar bukal M1 kiri bawah. Hasil: Terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan (p=0,001) antara rerata jumlah osteoblas kelompok gel ekstrak kopi (33,83±1,37) dibanding kontrol positif (23,24±2,31) dan kontrol negatif (18,91±2,07). Rerata jumlah osteoklas berbeda signifikan (p=0,001) pada kelompok gel ekstrak kopi (0,66±0,54) dibanding kontrol positif (3,08±1,10) dan kontrol negatif (4,00±2,07) (p=0,010). Simpulan: Pemberian gel ekstrak biji kopi robusta (C. canephora) dapat meningkatkan jumlah osteoblas dan menurunkan osteoklas pada tulang alveolar tikus periodontitis.Kata kunci: Gel ekstrak biji kopi robusta, osteoblas, osteoklas, periodontitis. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease affecting the teeth supporting tissues caused by specific microorganisms; one of them is Porphyromonas gingivalis, which can induce the macrophages and lymphocytes, then stimulate the osteoblasts to increase the receptor activator of nuclear factor kβ-ligand (RANKL) and decrease osteoprotegerin (OPG). Continued inflammatory conditions cause OPG to bind slightly to the RANKL; thus the RANKL will be able to binds to the receptor activator of nuclear factor kβ (RANK) in osteoclast precursors, which will activate the osteoclasts and cause bone damage. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts play a vital role in the balance of bone resorption and apposition. Robusta coffee beans contain active compounds such as polyphenols, alkaloids, and saponins, which act as anti-inflammatory agents. This research was aimed to analyse the effect of robusta coffee bean (C. canephora) extract gel on the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in the alveolar bone of periodontitis rats. Methods: Experimental laboratory research with simple random sampling technique for in-vivo study obtained the minimal sample number of 4 rats in each group; normal group (KN); negative control group placebo gel K(-)7 and K(-)14; positive control group of aloclair gel K(+)7 and K(+)14; and robusta coffee bean 50% extract gel group (KP7 and KP14). The rats were decapitated in the 7th and 14th days after treatment, and then the tissue processing and hematoxylin-eosin staining was carried out. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts were counted in the area around the buccal alveolar bone of the lower-left M1. Results: The results showed a significant difference (p = 0.001) between the mean number of osteoblasts in the coffee extract gel group (33.83 ± 1.37) compared to the positive control group (23.24 ± 2.31) and the negative control group (18.91± 2.07). The mean number of osteoclasts was also had a significant difference (p = 0.001) in the coffee extract gel group (0.66 ± 0.54) compared to the positive control group (3.08 ± 1.10) and (p = 0.010) with the negative control group (4.00 ± 2.07). Conclusion: Robusta coffee bean (C. canephora) extract gel can increase the number of osteoblasts and decrease the number of osteoclasts in the alveolar bone of periodontitis rats.Keywords: Robusta coffee bean extract gel, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, periodontitis.

Abstract

The new paradigm evolving today in thetreatment of periodontal infection is the use a hostmodulator therapy i.e. therapy that aims to improvethe host immune response to bacterial infection.Good immune response is necessary in increasingthe phagocytic function that in this case is played byneutrophil cells, monocytes and macrophages, whichserved as the first line of defense against bacterialinfections. One of the bacteria causing periodontalinfection is P. gingivalis. It has the biggest role incausing periodontal disease, where in the proteolyticenzyme such as gingipain contributes to thebacterial pathogenicity.1, 2 During the initial invasionP. gingivalis will colonize the gingival sulcus andinvade into the gingival tissues and will induce aninflammatory response and continue to alveolarbone resorption.3The immune response that acts first againstinvading bacteria is neutrophils. The presence ofbacterial adhesion to neutrophils allows neutrophilssecrete microbicidal substance by destroying thebacterial membrane and fagocyting bacteria. Aneutrophil can phagocyte bacteria before becominginactive or cell lysis. Phagocytosis that occurs canaffect the lysis of neutrophils. This can emerge veryfatal impacts because if the neutrophils undergo lysisthen chemical components and enzymes may breakinto the tissue leading to degradation of variousorganic molecules of its adjacent tissue.4 NowdaysIndonesia has developed a lot of research onmedicinal plants, such as Robusta coffee beans.Robusta coffee beans naturally have substances suchas caffeine, phenolic compounds, trigonellin andchlorogenic acid which have antibacterial activity.Besides as antibacterial chlorogenic it also hasantioxidant properties.5 Based on the abovebackground, the researchers want to developRobusta coffee beans as host modulator therapy tomaintain the viability of neutrophils by observingneutrophil cell viability against P. gingivalis appliedby Robusta coffee bean extract which will be usefulfor preventing periodontal tissue infections of theoral cavity.

Abstract

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of periodontal tissues. Etiology of periodontal disease includes Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) which is the most predominant disease-causing bacteria found in the gingival sulcus. Periodontitis can be exacerbated by the systemic disease, such as diabetes mellitus considered as a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to insulin deficiency. Treatment of periodontitis is then required in patients with type I diabetes to avoid radical reaction that can not only cause bleeding, but can also prevent infection, as a result, topical antimicrobial therapy and blood glucose control are required. Topical antimicrobial chlorine dioxide is a disinfectant that is effective in killing A. actinomycetemcomitans. Purpose: This study is aimed to determine the effects of topical antimicrobial chlorine dioxide gel or rinse on the number of A. actinomycetemcomitans in DM rats treated with insulin. Methods: 20 three month old male Wistar rats with weight of 170–200 grams were divided into four groups. First, periodontitis and DM were manipulated into all groups through aloksan injection with dose of 170 mg/kg. Those rats in group I were treated with insulin and chlorine dioxide gel, those in group II were treated with insulin and chlorine dioxide rinse, those in group III were treated with insulin only, and those in group IV were without treatment. In the third and seventh weeks, the number of A. actinomycetemcomitans was measured. The data was tested by using One-Way ANOVA test followed by LSD test. Results: The study showed that chlorine dioxide gel has a greater ability in reducing the number of A. actinomycetemcomitans than chlorine dioxide rinse although both are antimicrobials. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the use of chlorine dioxide gel can more effective to decrease the number of A. actinomycetemcomitans than chlorine dioxide rinse in DM rats treated with insulin therapy.Latar belakang: Periodontitis adalah suatu penyakit inflamasi kronis jaringan periodontal. Etiologi penyakit periodontal diantaranya adalah A. actinomycetemcomitans yang merupakan bakteri paling dominan penyebab penyakit yang terdapat pada actinomycetemcomitans yang merupakan bakteri paling dominan penyebab penyakit yang terdapat pada sulkus gingiva. Periodontitis yang terjadi diperparah adanya penyakit sistemik yaitu diabetes mellitus (DM) yang merupakan penyakit metabolik yang ditandai dengan hiperglikemi akibat defisiensi insulin. Perawatan periodontitis pada penderita DM tipe I adalah untuk Perawatan periodontitis pada penderita DM tipe I adalah untuk menghindari tindakan radikal yang dapat menyebabkan perdarahan dan mencegah terjadinya infeksi, sehingga digunakan terapi antimikroba topikal serta kontrol glukosa darah. Antimikroba topikal chlorine dioxide merupakan desinfektan yang efektif dalam membunuh A. actinomycetemcomitans. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek antimikroba topikal chlorine dioxide gel atau rinse terhadap jumlah A. actinomycetemcomitans pada tikus DM dengan insulin. Metode: Dua puluh ekor tikus Wistar, jantan, usia 3 bulan, berat 170–200 gram, dibagi menjadi empat kelompok.
