Abstract

Chemical cleaning of dentures using a denture cleanser is essential to prevent denture stomatitis—an infection of the oral mucosa caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus adhering to the denture base. One key component of denture cleansers is an antibacterial agent. Habbatussauda (Nigella sativa) contains antibacterial compounds that may serve as an alternative active ingredient in denture cleansers. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of effervescent tablets containing Habbatussauda extract as a denture cleanser in inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus growth on acrylic resin denture bases. The study employed a true experimental, post-test-only control group design, using 24 acrylic resin plates divided into six treatment groups: Habbatussauda extract concentrations of 9%, 12%, 15%, and 18%, along with positive and negative controls. Each plate was immersed in the respective Habbatussauda-based denture cleanser solution for 15 minutes. Researchers then counted the bacterial colonies using a colony counter. The Kruskal-Wallis test yielded a significant difference in colony counts (p < 0.05). Post hoc analysis with Bonferroni correction revealed significant differences between the 12% and 18% extract groups, as well as the positive control, compared to the negative control. However, no significant differences emerged between the extract groups (9%, 12%, 15%, and 18%) and the positive control. These findings indicate that Habbatussauda extract-based denture cleansers effectively inhibit Staphylococcus aureus growth on acrylic resin denture bases after 15 minutes of immersion.

Abstract

Gingival enlargement is defined as a common clinical sign of gingiva caused directly by plaque that causes gingival inflammation. Gingivectomy is a procedure that can be performed on patients with gingival enlargement. This case report describes the management of gingival enlargement in a case of tooth 42 due to individual tooth malposition. A 20-year-old male patient came to Soelastri Dental and Oral Hospital in Surakarta complaining of swollen gums. The complaint was felt in the upper and lower front gums. The patient was unaware of the swelling, had never received treatment, and did not experience any pain. Gingival treatment for this patient began with phase 1 periodontal therapy followed by gingivectomy. The gingivectomy treatment in this case used a scalpel instrument and the results were effective in reducing the patient's gingival enlargement. The patient was advised to undergo further orthodontic treatment to correct individual tooth malposition.
