Abstract

Background: Dental plaque is a soft, structured, calcified layer of bacteria that accumulates and attaches to the surface of the tooth. Efforts are made to eliminate and prevent plaque on the surface of the tooth by plaque control. Plaque control can be done mechanically, chemically, or a combination of both. Chemical control is done by using toothpaste. Catechin gambier toothpaste are polyphenolic compounds that have antibacterial activity which can prevent adhesion, inhibit the enzyme activity of glucosyltransferase and kills plaque forming bacteria. Objective: To determine the effect of catechin gambier on decreasing dental plaque index. Methods: This study is a true experimental study with pre-test and post-test control group design, conducted in March – April 2019. The subjects of this study were 44 students of Faculty of Dentistry, Andalas University. The subjects were divided into two groups, one group used catechin gambier toothpaste and an control group used placebo. Plaque index was calculated using an Turesky-Gilmore-Glickman of Quingley-Hein. Data was analyzed by t-test. Results: Average of dental plaque index in treatment group was higher than placebo group. Independent t-test showed that there was significant difference of dental plaque index beetwen two groups (p<0,001). Conclusion: Catechin gambier toothpaste can reduce dental plaque index.

Abstract

Complete denture wearers were mostly complained with the uncomfortable and less retention of their denture especially mandibular denture. Alveolar ridge resorption leads to decrease in the size of denture-bearing area, therefore reducing denture retention. There are many factors that cause loss retention, which are closely related to alveolar ridge height. The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between mandibular residual ridge height and complete denture retention in Andalas Dental Collage and Hospital. Methods: This study used a cross sectional design, with total sampel of 30 complete denture wearers. Samples was selected through Consecutive Sampling Method. Data was collected by using medical record, panoramic radiograph, and denture retention examination that were analyzed by Chi-Square test with p<0.05. Results: There was not a significant relationship between mandibular residual ridge height and denture retention (p>0.05). The conclusion of this study was the denture retention is not associated with mandibular residual ridge height in Andalas Dental Collage and Hospital.
