Abstract

Objective: This research aims to provide an overview of chewing gum casein effect on the number of bacteria streptococcus mutans and profile saliva. Casein is one of the elements in cow milk that has 70-80% of the total protein and function to prevent bacterium and other saliva sticking on the enamel surface of teeth. Consuming free sugar gum after eating can help to remineralise enamel, increase saliva and decrease the number of streptococcus mutans. Mouth work on mastication increases salivary flow rate. Therefore saliva production will increase and will change its acidity (pH).Material and Methods: The research design used was experimental research conducted in two groups where the control group by giving xylitol gum and the second group was given chewing casein gum. A total of 20 participants who match the criteria of research subjects chewed gum for 9 consecutive days and calculated the amount of streptococcus mutans, volume and pH of saliva.Results: The number of streptococcus mutans bacteria experienced a decline mainly in the group 69.60 in the first day to 22.80 in the ninth day. Thus, independent examination was done and p<0.005 was indicated, meaning that there was significant difference of casein gum in terms of decreasing streptococcus mutans bacteria, compared with xylitol gum.Conclusion: Casein gum made from cow milk can reduce the number of streptococcus mutans bacteria.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to collect data on the mandibular cortical thickness of the woman inhabitants in the Toraja tribe.Material and Methods: The subjects of this study that underwent panoramic radiography were vulnerable women aged 45-90 years from the Toraja tribe. The technique used to assess cortical thickness was the measurement Mental Index (MI) by panoramic radiography. Results: MI detected a reduction in bone mass density in elderly women using panoramic radiography. Conclusion: Osteoporosis can be detected by measuring the MI using panoramic radiographs. This has been developed to detect osteoporosis.

Abstract

Objective: This invention is to facilitate the work of the dentist in terms of examination and treatment, and increase the efficiency of time and reduce the risk of nosocomial infection.Material and Methods: The tool that used to clean debris and water that covered the mirror surface is a dental syringe which can spray water and air. But the use of dental syringe will reduce treatment effectiveness and time efficiency, it can even increase the risk of nosocomial infection.Results: The optimal pressure for this instrument to prevent and to clean stains on the mirror surface is between 2.5-4 bar (1 bar =0.1 MPa).Conclusion: The multifunctional prototype of dental mirror which is a combination of three dental instruments in one tool has been created using the 3D printing method

Abstract

Objective: To analyze saliva parameter such as salivary pH, total protein, buffer capacity, as well as sodium and potassium level on smoker and non smoker patients after exposed to intraoral radiography.Material and methods: This study was an observational study with cross-sectional design. Samples were smoker and non smoker patients who were referred to Dental Hospital Hasanuddin University. Saliva samples were taken by draining method. Samples were transferred immediately to Laboratory of Biochemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Science to be processed regarding saliva pH, saliva total protein, buffer capacity, as well as saliva sodium and potassium level. Saliva pH were measured with pH meter Hanna instruments, total protein with Lowry’s method, buffer capacity with Ericcson’s method, sodium and potassium level with atomic absorption spectrophotometer Parking Elmer A400. Data were then analyzed with statistical test Kolmogorov Smirnov, independent t-test, and oneway Anova with p<0.05 were considered statistically significant.Result: There were no significant difference on salivary pH, buffer capacity and potassium level between smoker group and non smoker group (p>0.05) before exposed to intraoral radiography, but we found significant difference on saliva total protein and sodium level between smoker and non smoker group (p<0.05) before radiography exposure. There were no significant change on salivary pH, total protein, buffer capacity, sodium and potassium level after exposed to intraoral radiography (p>0.05) on both smoker and non smoker group.Conclusion: Exposure of intraoral radiographs did not have significant effect on salivary pH, total protein, buffer capacity, as well as sodium and potassium level.

Abstract

Objectives : To analyze genotoxic and sitotoxic indicators of buccal epithelial cells by measuring the number of cells contain micronucleus, pycnosis, karyorrhexis, karyolysis and to determine the change in oxidative stress of  oral mucosa cells using salivary MDA levels between smokers and nonsmokers before and after exposure to intraoral radiographs during endodontic treatment.Material and Methods : This research was an analytic observation research with cross-sectional design. The sample was divided into smokers (n = 5) and non-smokers group (n = 5). The buccal epithelial cells was taken with cytobrush and unstimulated saliva in each group were taken by the draining method shortly before intraoral radiography, 10±2 days after first  day exposure, 10±2 days after second day exposure. The cells were stained using Papanicolau (PAP) kit and observed by pathologist. Genotoxic and cytotoxic indicator measured by counted the number of cells contain mironucleus, pyknosis, karyorrhexis and karyolysis under light microscope with 400X magnification according to the Tolbert criteria in 1000 cells. While oxidative stress of cell measured by salivary MDA with Thiobarbitoric Acid (TBA) assay.Result : The number of micronucleus, pyknosis, karyorrhexis, karyolysis in buccal epithelial cells and salivary MDA levels in smokers was higher than non-smokers (p<0,05). There were no significant differences in genotoxic and cytotoxic indicators and salivary MDA levels before and after the last exposure in smokers and non-smokers (p>0,05).Conclusion : The results of this study indicate that the use of intraoral radiographs is within safe limits despite repeated exposure after several days.
