Abstract

Aging is a normal process, as inevitable biologicalphenomenon. Generally, this process characterizedby a decrease in the ability of resolution,regeneration, and reparation of cell and tissues, So,those cells and tissues cannot function properly andits will grow up and die.(1) WHO reports that thepopulation of elderly people worldwide increases by1.7% annually, whereas the population of peopleaged ≥ 65 years old increases by 2.5%. WHOclassified the elderly based on their chronologic/biologic state in 4 groups: (1) the middle age ranged45-59 years old, (2) the older/elderly age ranged 60-74 years old, (3) the advanced old age ranged 75-90years old, and (4) the very old age over 90 years old.Generally, elders ≥ 65 years old have healthproblems as effects of aging process. That meansthey need to have a special concern about theirhealth condition include in dental care.(2,3)Low, systemic and progressive chronic inflammationin elderly age is called inflammaging. This conditioncan occur as the effects of injury on cells andtissues.(4,5) There are some factors that cause injuryon cells, such as; hypoxia, chemical materials (toxins,drugs), physical agents (mechanical trauma,temperature, sudden changes in atmosphericpressure, radiation, electrical potency), microbiologyagents (virus, microbes, fungi), immune systemdisorder, genetic disorder, or malnutrition. Whenthe cells got injuries, there are some possibilityreactions on cells and tissues, e.g. retrogressivereaction, progressive reaction; and adaptationreaction. The main cause and the response towardsinflammaging that linked to illness are stillunknown.(6)

Abstract

Osteogenesis is a process of development which is perfectly controlled by a number of extrinsic and instrinsic factors that consists of hormones, growth factors, cytokines produced in the bone marrow micro environment, due to process of molecules adhesion that mediate by the interaction of cells and cell-matrix, osteoblasts-specific signaling proteins and transcription factors (TFs). Recently, research explained that adherence osteoclasts on the bone surface and secretion of protons into an extracellular compartment between osteoclasts and bone surface together with the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) involved in the complex process of bone resorption. Superoxide role in the activation and transcription NF-κB factor is to increase osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, it is alleged that ROS is involved in both differentiation of osteoclasts and osteoblast cell. Aging and diseases which associated with aging is a result of ROS that cause damage was reported increase with age. This review, which is dedicated to geriatric physicians, geriatric dentistry or gerodontology reviews ROS-related osteoclastogenesis in aging and as the basic of the research to determine benefit of ROS through NADPH oxidase activation in the osteopetrotic case.

Abstract

Background: Periodontal disease is a common and widespread disease in the community. Gram negative bacteria have a role inperiodontitis. These bacteria secrete a variety of products such as endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which causes the occurrenceof inflammation or infection. The body defense responses are neutrophils and mononuclear cells (monocytes and macrophages). Inresponse to defense mechanism, the body will be expressed enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX) which functions convert arachidonic acidto prostaglandins. Cassava leaf cells known to play a role in reducing inflammation, but the mechanism for inhibiting COX-2, is notknown. Purpose: The study was aimed to determine the effect of cassava leaf extract (Manihot utilissima) on expression of enzyme COX-2 in monocytes which were exposed by LPS E. coli. Methods: This study was in vitro experimental studies with the design of posttestonly control group design. The sample was the cassava leaves extract (Manihot utilissima) at concentration of 12.5 % and 25 %. Theexpression of COX-2 was determined by immunocytochemistry method. Isolated monocytes were incubated in cassava leaf extract, andthen exposed to LPS, after washing imunostaning procedure was performed using a monoclonal antibody (MAb) anti-human COX-2.The research data was the number of monocytes that express COX-2. Results: Expression of COX-2 in the group cassava leaf extractwas higher than the group that induced by LPS E. coli only. Conclusion: Cassava leaf extract did not inhibit the expression of COX-2in monocytes which were exposed by LPS E. coli.Latar belakang: Penyakit periodontal merupakan penyakit umum dan tersebar luas di masyarakat. Bakteri yang banyak berperanpada periodontitis adalah Gram negatif. Bakteri ini mengeluarkan berbagai produk antara lain endotoksin lipopolisakarida (LPS) yangmenyebabkan inflamasi atau infeksi. Respon pertahanan tubuh pertama adalah netrofil dan sel mononuklear (monosit dan makrofag).Pada respon pertahanan tubuh akan diekspresikan enzim siklooksigenase (COX) yang berfungsi mengubah asam arakidonat menjadiprostaglandin. Daun singkong diketahui berperan dalam menurunkan sel radang, tetapi mekanisme dalam menghambat COX-2, belumdiketahui. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti ekstrak daun singkong terhadap ekspresi enzim COX-2 pada monosit yangdipapar LPS E. coli. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi eksperimental in vitro dengan rancangan The posttest only control groupdesign. Sampel adalah ekstrak daun singkong (Manihot utilissima) dengan dosis 12,5% dan 25%. Ekspresi COX-2 diteliti denganmetode imunositokimia.

Abstract

Background: Probiotics are microbes derived from the group of lactic acid bacteria that work to maintain the health of hosts. Probiotics can also be used to improve oral health. Periodontal disease is usually marked with gingival inflammation and alveolar bone resorption. Gram negative anaerobic bacteria that play important role in human periodontal disease are Porphyromonas gingivalis. (P. gingivalis). P. gingivalis is a virulent bacteria in vivo or in vitro, and mostly found in subgingival plaque of periodontitis patients. Purpose: This study is aimed to know the role of probiotics to inhibit the resorption of alveolar bone induced with P. gingivalis. Methods: This study used male wistar rats divided into 4 groups. Group I was control group (without treatment); group II was induced with P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 for 5 days; group III was induced with P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 and also injected with probiotics (Lactobacillus casei ATCC 4224) for 5 days simultaneously; and group IV was induced with P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 for 5 days and also injected by probiotics (Lactobacillus casei ATCC 4224) in the next 5 days. After that, the samples were decapitated, taken their alveolar bone, and then were examined by immunohistochemistry to observe osteoclast activity in alveolar bone resorption by using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) expression. All data were then analyzed statistically. Results: It is known that there were significant differences of TRAP expression among all those treatment groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It then can be concluded that probiotics can decrease osteoclast activity in periodontal tissue of wistar rats, so it can inhibit alveolar bone resorption.Latar belakang: Probiotik adalah mikroba dari golongan bakteri asam laktat yang bekerja mempertahankan kesehatan host dan probiotik dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan kesehatan rongga mulut. Penyakit periodontal ditandai dengan adanya keradangan pada gingiva dan resobsi tulang alveolar. Bakteri Gram negatif anaerob yang sangat berperan dengan penyakit periodontal pada manusia adalah Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). P. gingivalis merupakan bakteri yang virulen, baik diuji secara in vivo maupun in vitro, dan banyak ditemukan pada plak subgingiva penderita periodontitis. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran probiotik dalam menghambat resorbsi tulang alveolar yang diinduksi P.gingivalis. Metode: Penelitian ini memakai tikus jenis wistar jantan sebagai sampel dan dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok: Kelompok I yaitu kontrol tanpa perlakuan; kelompok II di induksi P.gingivalis ATCC 33277 selama 5 hari; Kelompok III di induksi P.gingivalis ATCC 33277 ditambah suntikan probiotik (Lactobacillus casei ATCC 4224) selama 5 hari secara bersamaan; dan Kelompok IV di induksi P.gingivalis ATCC 33277 selama 5 hari ditambah suntikan probiotik (Lactobacillus casei ATCC 4224) 5 hari selanjutnya. Setelah itu sampel didekaputasi, diambil tulang alveolar dilakukan pemeriksaan imunohistokimia untuk melihat aktivitas osteoklas dalam resopsi tulang alveolar dengan mendeteksi tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisis secara statistik. Hasil: Terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna antar kelompok untuk ekspresi TRAP (p < 0.05). Kesimpulan: Dapat disimpulkan bahwa probiotik dapat menurunkan aktivitas osteoklas pada wistar tikus yang mengalami periodontitis sehingga dapat mencegah resorbsi tulang alveol.

Abstract

Background: Bacteria playing a role in periodontitis are Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria that can release endotoxin or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS acts as a stimulus to a variety of host cells that can stimulate expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in periodontal disease, such as IL-1α, IL-1β, and TNF-α. Increased TNF-α then can lead to periodontal tissue destruction. Furthermore, cassava leaves have many health benefits due to flavonoid organic compound contained, known to possess anti-inflammatory activity are used as a medicine. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of cassava leaf flavonoid extract as a basic ingredient of anti-inflammatory gel on TNF-α expression in Wistar rats suffering from periodontitis induced with Escherichia coli (E. coli) LPS. Method: This study used 24 male Wistar rats. Those rats were divided into six groups. Group 1 consisted of four rats induced with E. coli LPS for 2 weeks, and then decapitation was performed on day 3. Group 2 consisted of four rats induced with E. coli LPS for 2 weeks, and then decapitation was conducted on day 7. Group 3 consisted of four rats induced with E. coli LPS for 2 weeks, treated with the topical cassava leaf flavonoid extract gel (Manihot esculenta) at a concentration of 25%, and then decapitation was performed on day 3. Group 4 consisted of four rats induced with E. coli LPS for 2 weeks, treated with the topical cassava leaf flavonoid extract gel (Manihot esculenta) at a concentration of 25%, and then decapitation was conducted on day 7. Group 5 consisted of four rats induced with E. coli LPS for 2 weeks, treated with the topical cassava leaf flavonoid extract gel (Manihot esculenta) at a concentration of 50%, and then decapitation was performed on day 3. And, group 6 consisted of four rats induced with E. coli LPS for 2 weeks, treated with the topical Cassava leaf flavonoid extract gel (Manihot esculenta) at a concentration of 50%, and then decapitation was conducted on day 7. The topical Cassava leaf flavonoid extract gel was inserted into gingival sulcus on the first right molar of their lower jaw by using a blunted syringe needle. The gel was given two times a day for 7 days. Result: The expression of TNF-α in the control group was more than that in the treatment groups given the Cassava leaf flavonoid extract gel at the concentrations of 25% and 50%. The expression of TNF-α in the treatment groups given the cassava leaf flavonoid extract gel at the concentration of 50% was lower than that in the treatment groups given the cassava leaf flavonoid extract gel at the concentration of 25%. Conclusion: Cassava leaf flavonoid extract gel could be used as an anti-inflammatory gel characterized by a decrease in TNF-α expression in rat models suffering from periodontitis.

Abstract

Background: The Pandalungan community is a unique community established through the assimilation of two dominant cultures: the Javanese and Madurese. Both of these communities created a community with a new culture called the Pandalungan community culture. The people of this community live in coastal, rural and urban areas. Generally, research on the uniqueness in the oral health behaviour of the Pandalungan community has not been conducted since the oral health practices of the Pandalungan community are considered to be the same as that of the Javanese community. Purpose: In order to develop programmes for oral health prevention, this research aims at comparing the oral health profiles of the elderly (classified as per age) living in the rural and urban areas in the Jember Regency. Methods: The research employs a cross-sectional approach. The subjects of the research were selected on the basis of the total number of elderly people who attended the monthly meetings of the Karang Werda (those not willing to participate in the study were excluded). The study was conducted by organising extensive interviews, performing observations and intraoral examinations. Each group was classified into three subgroups on the basis of age: pre-elderly, elderly and high-risk elderly. The intraoral examination conducted included the oral hygiene index-simplified (OHI-S), the number of teeth missing, the depth of the pocket and the number of all functional tooth units (all-FTU). Results: The oral health profile of people in the rural community was poor when compared to the oral health profile of people living in the urban community (by accounting for nearly all the variables in the examination). Conclusion: The oral health profile of the elderly people in the Pandalungan community was poor. Adequate prevention and care are essential to maintain the oral health of people in the Pandalungan community.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Disfungsi ovarium merupakan kondisi yang menimbulkan defisiensi hormon estrogen dan progesteron. Penurunan hormonal ini menyebabkan peningkatan produksi tumor necrosis factor (TNF) yang dapat memicu peningkatan produksi matriks metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8). Periodontitis yang disebabkan oleh bakteri gram negatif akan memicu makrofag melepaskan TNF-α yang berkontribusi dalam pembentukan MMP-8. MMP-8 ini berperan dalam degradasi kolagen jaringan ikat gingiva. Meningkatnya MMP-8 dapat menyebabkan terjadinya periodontitis. Gejala periodontitis karena disfungsi ovarium dan induksi bakteri ini dapat diperlambat dengan bahan alam, yaitu daun singkong. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis potensi ekstrak daun singkong (Manihot esculenta Crantz) terhadap ekspresi MMP-8 fibroblas pada model tikus disfungsi ovarium dan periodontitis. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental laboratoris dengan post-test only control group design. Sampel yang digunakan adalah tikus Sprague-Dawley betina yang dibagi dalam 5 kelompok yaitu (1) kelompok kontrol (K), (2) Kelompok yang diinduksi bakteri Porphyromonas gingivalis dan diberi aquades, (3) Kelompok yang diinduksi bakteri Porphyromonas gingivalis dan diberi ekstrak daun singkong, (4) Kelompok yang diberi perlakuan ovariektomi dan diberi aquades, (5) Kelompok yang dilakukan ovariektomi dan diberi ekstrak daun singkong. Pengambilan jaringan gingiva setelah tahap euthanasia dilakukan untuk pembuatan preparat histopatologi dengan pewarnaan imunohistokimia. Pengamatan dan penghitungan ekspresi MMP-8 dilakukan dengan menggunakan software ImageJ dan Immunoratio. Hasil: Hasil analisis data one-way ANOVA, ekspresi MMP-8 fibroblas gingiva menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan (p=0,000). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak daun singkong dapat menurunkan ekspresi MMP-8 fibroblas gingiva tikus yang mengalami disfungsi ovarium dan periodontitis diinduksi P. gingivalis. Simpulan: Ekstrak daun singkong (Manihot esculenta Crantz) dapat menurunkan ekspresi MMP-8 sel fibroblas gingiva pada model tikus disfungsi ovarium dan periodontitis.Kata kunci: Disfungsi ovarium, periodontitis, ekspresi MMP-8, ekstrak daun singkong. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Ovarian dysfunction is a condition that causes estrogen and progesterone deficiency. This hormonal decrease causes an increase in the production of Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF), which can trigger an increase in the production of matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8). Periodontitis caused by gram-negative bacteria will trigger macrophages to release TNF-α, which contributes to the formation of MMP-8. MMP-8 plays a role in collagen degradation of the gingival connective tissue. An increase in MMP-8 can cause periodontitis. Periodontitis symptoms due to ovarian dysfunction and bacterial induction can be slowed down by natural ingredients, such as cassava leaf. The purpose of this study was to analyse the potential of cassava leaf extract (Manihot esculenta Crantz) on MMP-8 expression of gingival fibroblast in rats model with ovarian dysfunction and periodontitis. Methods: This study was an experimental laboratory with post-test only control group design. The samples were female Sprague-Dawley rats divided into five groups: (1) control group (K); (2) Porphyromonas gingivalis induced group and given aquadest; (3) Porphyromonas gingivalis induced and given cassava leaf extract; (4) Group with ovariectomy treatment and given aquadest; (5) Group with ovariectomy treatment and given cassava leaf extract. Gingival tissue retrieval after the euthanasia was carried out for the histopathology preparations by immunohistochemical staining. Observation and calculation of MMP-8 expressions were performed using ImageJ and Immunoratio software. Results: The results of the one-way ANOVA analysis of MMP-8 expression of gingival fibroblasts showed a significant difference (p = 0.000); thus cassava leaf extract reduce the MMP-8 expression of gingival fibroblasts of rats with ovarian dysfunction and P. gingivalis induced periodontitis. Conclusion: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) leaf extract can reduce the MMP-8 expression of gingival fibroblast cells in rats’ model with ovarian dysfunction and periodontitis.Keywords: Ovarian dysfunction, periodontitis, MMP-8 expression, cassava leaf extract.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Disfungsi ovarium merupakan keadaan ovarium yang mengalami kegagalan dalam sekresi hormon seks steroid. Penurunan sekresi hormon terutama estrogen dapat memicu peningkatan sitokin proinflamasi seperti IL-1, IL-6 dan TNF-α yang berperan dalam resorpsi tulang dan reaksi inflamasi periodontal. Salah satu drug of choice dari periodontitis adalah metronidazole. Penggunaan metronidazole secara sistemik dapat mengakibatkan efek samping, sehingga diperlukan bahan alternatif yang memiliki efek terapi antiinflamasi. Salah satu tanaman yang memiliki efek antiinflamasi adalah daun Singkong. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis potensi ekstrak daun Singkong sebagai antiinflamasi terhadap profil leukosit darah tepi model tikus disfungsi ovarium dan periodontitis. Metode: Jenis penelitian eksperimental laboratoris dengan post-test only control group design. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 18 ekor tikus betina yang dibagi menjadi dua kelompok besar yakni kelompok disfungsi ovarium dan kelompok kecil periodontitis. Pembuatan model tikus disfungsi ovarium dan tikus periodontitis dilakukan selama 28 hari. Setelah masing-masing kelompok dibagi menjadi 3 kelompok yang diberikan perlakuan aquades, metronidazole dan ekstrak daun Singkong selama 7 hari. Setiap tikus diambil darahnya melalui plexus infraorbitalis pada hari ke-1, hari ke-3 dan hari ke-7. Darah yang diambil selanjutnya dilakukan perhitungan jumlah sel leukosit darah tepi menggunakan kamar hitung dan perhitungan jenis dengan cara visual. Hasil: Hasil uji LSD menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan bermakna jumlah leukosit darah tepi antar hari pada kelompok tikus yang mengalami disfungsi ovarium (p≤0,05). Simpulan: Ekstrak daun Singkong (Manihot esculenta Crantz) dapat menurunkan profil leukosit perifer model tikus disfungsi ovarium dan periodontitis.Kata kunci: Disfungsi ovarium, periodontitis, profil leukosit perifer, ekstrak daun singkong. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Ovarian dysfunction is when the ovaries fail in the secretion of steroid sex hormones. Decreased secretion of hormones, especially estrogen, can trigger an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α, which play a role in bone resorption and periodontal inflammatory reactions. One drug of choice for periodontitis is metronidazole. Systemic use of metronidazole can cause side effects, so an alternative material with a therapeutic anti-inflammatory effect is needed. One of the plants that have an anti-inflammatory effect is cassava leaves. The research objective was to analyse the potential of cassava leaf extract as an anti-inflammatory against the peripheral blood leukocyte profile in a mouse model of ovarian dysfunction and periodontitis. Methods: This was an experimental laboratory study with a post-test only control group design. The research sample consisted of 18 female rats divided into two large groups: the ovarian dysfunction group and the small periodontitis group. The making of mouse models of ovarian dysfunction and periodontitis rats was carried out for 28 days. After each group was divided into three groups treated with distilled water, metronidazole and cassava leaf extract for seven days. Blood was drawn from each mouse through the infraorbital plexus on day 1, day three, and 7. The blood that was taken was then performed to calculate the number of peripheral blood leukocytes using the counting room and the calculation of the type by visual means. Results: The results of the LSD test showed that there was a significant difference in the number of peripheral blood leukocytes between days in the group of rats with ovarian dysfunction (p≤0.05). Conclusion: Cassava leaf extract (Manihot esculenta Crantz) can reduce the profile of peripheral leukocytes in a mouse model of ovarian dysfunction and periodontitis.Keywords: Ovarian dysfunction, periodontitis, peripheral leukocytes profile, cassava leaf extract.

Abstract

Until todays, dental caries disease is a major problem in a child's oral cavity. Children aged 6-10 years old are vulnerable to dental and oral diseases. The aim of this study was to describe the severity of dental caries in primary school children in 10 districts in Jember. An observational study with cross sectional approach was conducted in July-September 2015. Accidental sampling was 102 children of primary school grade 1 to grade 6 in 10 districts in Jember (Ambulu, Balung, Ledokombo, Tanggul, Mayang, Gumukmas, Jenggawah, Pakusari, Rambipuji and Sukorambi). The variables studied were deciduous tooth caries with four categories of severity i.e. pulp irritation (IP), pulp hyperemia (HP), gangrene of the pulp (GP), gangrene roots (GR). Data were presented in descriptive research results with a frequency distribution table and a bar chart. The results showed that most cases of primary teeth were gangrene tooth root 626 (38.1%), subsequently gangrene dental pulp 454 (27.7%), 360 dental pulp hyperemia (21.9%), and cases of irritation of the pulp were at least 202 teeth (12.3%). The high incidence of gangrene roots caused by deciduous teeth which have a tendency to be more susceptible to the development of caries lesions, lack of knowledge, awareness and motivation of parents of the importance of maintaining oral hygiene, the transition period the child's diet between home-cooked meals with school meals, which tend to choose cariogenic foods.
