Abstract

Characteristics of mild gingivitis are change in the color of the gums, slight edema, and no bleeding and painless. If it does not receive the proper treatment, gingivitis can become periodontitis which cause alveolar jaw bone tissue damage, resulting in further tissue damage locally and systemically through the blood vessels. The selection of appropriate therapy is essential to reduce the prevalence of the disease. In addition to scaling and plaque control, the propolis toothpaste can be used as initial therapy. The toothpaste contains propolis known for anti-inflammatory effects that is useful as one of the initial teraphy to treat mild gingivitis. Gingival index of 15 patients were measured before and after use of propolis toothpaste. Data analysis was performed by means of univariate to describe each variabel using Kolmogorov Smirnof Test. Gingival Index difference between before and after brushing with toothpaste containing propolis by paired t-test. Toothpaste contains propolis which proved effective in the initial therapy of mild gingivitis with an average difference of reduction in Gingival Index scores before and after was 0.40 ± 0.04 There are significant differences (p <0.05) difference between the average reduction in Gingival Index scores before and after the use of toothpaste containing propolis.

Abstract

Saliva is a complex body fluid and has important roles that related with biological processes in oral cavity. Saliva has important roles in maintaining health of oral cavity from caries diseases and periodontal diseases. One of saliva functions in maintaining oral health is associated with the degree of saliva’s acidity (pH). Salivary pH can influence oral health by related with caries diseases and periodontal diseases. One of preventive method could be done is chemically preventive by using mouth wash solution. One of natural mouth wash solution could be used is miswak (Salvadora persica) extract mouth wash solution. Chemical contents of Salvadora persica extract can prevent descending of salivary pH because it has bactericidal effect that will prevent acid production from oral bacteria, increase saliva buffer activity by increasing saliva secretion. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of  Salvadora persica extract solution on salivary pH. The method used in this research is experimental with one group pre-posttest design. Subjects were 17 students of SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Padang. Measurements before and after mouth rinsing with Salvadora persica extract solution 50% performed on the subjects. The data were analyzed by paired T-test (p<0,05). This research showed the average salivary pH before given Salvadora persica extract solution was 6,565 and the average salivary pH after given miswak extract solution was 7,4. Mouth rinsing with Salvadora persica extract solution can increase salivary pH and can be used as mouth wash solution to maintain oral health.
