Abstract

Abstract: Oral hygiene status is affected by several factors. One of these is the maintenance of healthy teeth and mouth, e.g. by brushing. People with physical disabilities are frequently limited in carrying out normal activities, as cleaning ones teeth and mouth, the result of which influences the occurrence of caries. The study was conducted on 104 people with physical disabilities in Panti Sosial Bina Daksa Wirajaya Makassar. Results: The assessment of oral hygiene by using the OHI-S index according to Green and Vermillion showed that the status of OHI-S was good in 18 people (17.29%), moderate in 58 people (55.7%), and bad in 28 people (26.9%). Percentages of OHI-S status (good, average, and bad) having the disabilitiy of one leg were 10.57%, 28.84%, and 15.38%, respectively. The lowest mean of DMF-T status (low category) was found in those with disabilities in both legs  was 2.58, and the highest one (but still in the middle category) with hand and foot disabilities was 4.2. However, males were more likely to have a poor OHI-S (25 males/24.02%) but more females had both categories of OHI-S (15 females/14. 44%). Although more females had a good OHI-S status, it was more common in females than males to have a very high caries status. Keywords: oral hygiene, DMF-T index, physical disability.     Abstrak: Status kebersihan mulut seseorang dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor. Salah satu di antaranya adalah upaya pemeliharaan  kesehatan gigi dan mulut misalnya dengan menyikat gigi. Pada orang dengan cacat fisik mempunyai keterbatasan melakukan sesuatu secara normal termasuk dalam melakukan prosedur untuk membersihkan gigi dan mulutnya yang lebih lanjut juga akan mempengaruhi terjadinya karies. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut, maka penulis ingin mengetahui status kebersihan mulut dan karies gigi pada penyandang cacat fisik. Penelitian dilakukan pada 104 penyandang cacat fisik  di Panti Sosial Bina Daksa Wirajaya Makassar. Hasil penelitian: Hasil penilaian kebersihan mulut dengan menggunakan indeks OHI-S menurut Green and Vermillion menunjukkan 18 orang (17,29%) dengan status OHI-S baik, 58 orang (55,7%) status OHI-S sedang, dan 28 orang (26,9%) dengan status OHI-S buruk. Persentase status OHI-S baik, sedang dan buruk paling banyak ditemukan pada penyandang cacat kaki satu yaitu masing-masing sebesar 10,57%, 28,84 %, dan 15,38%. Untuk status  DMF-T rata-rata paling rendah (kategori rendah) terdapat pada penyandang cacat kedua kaki (2,58) dan paling tinggi (tetapi masih dalam kategori sedang) pada penyandang cacat tangan dan kaki (4,2). Dalam penelitian ini juga ditemukan bahwa jenis kelamin laki-laki lebih banyak yang memiliki OHI-S buruk (25 orang/24,02%) sedangkan perempuan lebih banyak yang memiliki OHI-S dalam kategori baik (15 orang/14,44%). Walaupun demikian, status karies sangat tinggi lebih banyak ditemukan pada perempuan dibanding laki-laki. Kata kunci: kebersihan mulut, indeks DFM-T, kecacatan

Abstract: Modern design of dental equipment does not totally prevent the profession from experiencing low back pain (LBP). This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of LBP, to analyze risk factors associated with LBP, and to analyze risk factor for LBP among dentists in North Sulawesi. This was a quantitative and analytical study with a cross sectional design. Samples were determined by using the purposive sampling method, namely 148 dentists who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected by using the Ovako Working Posture Analysis System (OWAS) questionnaire to assess the posture of the dentists during treatment by adding individual and occupational characteristics. Further data were analyzed univariately, bivariately, and multivariately by using the SPSS program. The results showed that the prevalence of dentists who experienced LBP was 41,2%. In addition, work position (p=0.043, correlation coefficient Ф=0.166), and the number of patients in a day (p=0.025, r=0.190) had a significant correlation with NPB. In conclusion, work position is the most influential factor of LBP among dentists in North Sulawesi (OR=2.085, CI=95%). It is expected that all dentists should avoid working positions that could harm their musculoskeletal systems.Keywords: low back pain, dentist  Abstrak: Perubahan desain peralatan kedokteran gigi yang semakin mutakhir tidak menjadikan profesi dokter gigi terbebas dari keluhan nyeri punggung bawah (NPB). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi NPB dan menganalisis faktor risiko NPB pada dokter gigi di Sulawesi Utara. Jenis penelitian ialah analitik kuantitatif dengan desain potong lintang. Penentuan sampel dengan metode purposive sampling yaitu sebanyak 148 dokter gigi yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner Ovako Working Posture Analysis System (OWAS) untuk menilai postur tubuh dokter gigi saat melakukan perawatan dengan menambahkan karakteristik individu dan pekerjaan. Data selanjutnya dianalisis univariat, bivariat, dan multivariat dengan program SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan prevalensi dokter gigi yang mengalami NPB sebesar 41,2%. Selain itu posisi kerja (p=0,043, koefisien korelasi Ф=0,166), dan jumlah pasien per hari (p=0,025, r=0,190) memiliki korelasi yang bermakna dengan NPB. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah posisi kerja merupakan faktor yang paling berpengaruh terhadap NPB pada dokter gigi di Sulawesi Utara (OR=2,085, CI=95%). Diharapkan bagi seluruh dokter gigi dapat menghindari posisi kerja yang dapat membahayakan sistem muskuloskeletal saat melakukan perawatan kepada pasien.Kata kunci: nyeri punggung bawah, dokter gigi

Abstract

Abstract: Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium and one of the main etiological agents of periodontal disease, which is a common oral health problem in the community. Management of periodontal disease generally involves scaling and root planing, accompanied by antibiotics such as metronidazole. However, long-term use of antibiotics may lead to adverse effects, including bacterial resistance and hypersensitivity reactions. Therefore, safer alternative antibacterial agents are needed. One natural ingredient with antibacterial potential is the bitung plant (Barringtonia asiatica), which is known to contain active compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, steroids, alkaloids, phenols, and tannins. This study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Barringtonia asiatica leaf extract on the growth of P. gingivalis. The test used the disc diffusion method. Extract samples were prepared at concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, with positive control (metronidazole) and negative control (aquades). The test was conducted at the Pharmaceutical Microbiology Laboratory, FMIPA, Universitas Sam Ratulangi. The results showed that Barringtonia asiatica leaf extract exhibited antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis at all tested concentrations. The largest mean inhibition zone was observed at the 25% concentration and categorized as very strong. In conclusion, Barringtonia asiatica leaf extract has inhibitory effects on the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria. Keywords: Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria; bitung leaf (Barringtonia asiatica)    Abstrak: Porphyromonas gingivalis merupakan bakteri Gram negatif anaerob yang menjadi salah satu penyebab utama penyakit periodontal yang banyak ditemukan di masyarakat. Penanganan umum penyakit ini dilakukan melalui scaling, root planning, dan pemberian antibiotik seperti metronidazole, namun, penggunaan antibiotik jangka panjang dapat menimbulkan efek samping seperti resistensi dan reaksi hipersensitivitas, sehingga diperlukan alternatif antibakteri yang lebih aman. Salah satu tanaman yang memiliki potensi antibakteri ialah daun bitung (Barringtonia asiatica) yang mengandung senyawa aktif seperti flavonoid, saponin, steroid, alkaloid, fenol dan tanin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji daya hambat ekstrak daun bitung terhadap pertumbuhan bakteri P. gingivalis. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimental laboratorium dengan rancangan post-test only control group design menggunakan metode difusi cakram. Sampel dibagi menjadi enam kelompok: ekstrak daun bitung konsentrasi 25%, 50%, 75%, dan 100%, kontrol positif (metronidazole), serta kontrol negatif (akuades). Pengujian dilakukan di Laboratorium Mikrobiologi Farmasi FMIPA Universitas Sam Ratulangi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak daun bitung mampu menghambat pertumbuhan P. gingivalis pada seluruh konsentrasi uji, dengan zona hambat terbesar ditemukan pada konsentrasi 25% dan masuk dalam kategori sangat kuat. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah ekstrak daun bitung (Barringtonia asiatica) memiliki potensi sebagai agen antibakteri terhadap Porphyromonas gingivalis. Kata kunci: bakteri Porphyromonas gingivalis; daun bitung (Barringtonia asiatica)
