Abstract

Dental and oral health has an important role and impact on general health conditions and child development. One of the efforts to prevent dental disease early in children can be done through promotion and education about children 's dental health to parents and teachers as the closest people to the child. The purpose of this study is to determine the determinants of the implementation of dental health promotion by teachers and parents in elementary school children in Aceh Besar District. The research design method is observational analytic with a cross-sectional study approach. The subjects in this study were 110 teachers and 110 parents of elementary school children that carried out by purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out directly from respondents using a validated questionnaire. The statistical tests used were the chi square test and the logistic regression test. The results of this study indicate that the factors of knowledge, attitude, action, availability of facilities and infrastructure, motivation and participation of teachers and parents have a significant influence on the implementation of dental health promotion in elementary school children. In the subject of teachers, the most dominant variables influencing the implementation of dental health promotion in children are the availability of facilities and infrastructure (p = 0.004, Exp (B) = 5.704) and motivation (p = 0.030, Exp (B) = 2.914). In the subject of parents, the most dominant variables are participation (p = 0.000, Exp (B) = 12.803) and motivation (p = 0.001, Exp (B) = 8.899). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the availability of facilities, participation, motivation and knowledge from parents and teachers are key factors in the success of implementing dental health promotion in elementary school children. Holistic interventions and approaches are needed, so as to provide a positive impact on the implementation of dental health promotion in elementary school children.

Abstract

This study evaluates the antibacterial activity of Moringa oleifera leaf extract against Streptococcus mutans ATCC® 25175™. Leaf extracts from mountainous and coastal areas were tested using maceration with 96% ethanol, dilution for Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC), and disk diffusion for inhibition zones. Results showed that the mountainous extract was more effective, with a maximum inhibition zone of 18.38 mm and MBC of 100%, compared to the coastal extract with an inhibition zone of 12.94 mm and MBC of 75%. This study highlights the potential of Moringa oleifera leaf extract as a natural antibacterial agent for mouthwash development.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) has been reported as the primary infectious agent in rootcanals. Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) is said to have the ability to prevent the development of E. faecalis.The purpose of this study was to measure the biomass index and viscosity of the ethanol extract ofMoringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves, which were affected by E. faecalis. This study used Moringa oleiferaand E. faecalis. The biomass index of Moringa oleifera extracts using the Biomass Assay method and theviscosity with the Ostwald Viscometer. The biomass index of M. oleifera affected by E. faecalis at aconcentration of 12.5% for 48 hours was better than other concentrations. CHX has a perfect biomassindex at 24 hours, while at 48 hours, the biomass index increases to close to 10%. Meanwhile, M. oleiferahas a high viscosity at a concentration of 12.5% (0.81 Cp). The results of the viscosity examination werein line with the biomass index with a positive correlation (0.92) and p0.05 between the M. oleiferaconcentrations between the two treatments. M. oleifera has very good biomass and viscosity index at aconcentration of 12.5%. Both are determinants of the development of E. faecalis under the influence of M.oleifera.KEYWORDS bomassa indek, viskositas, E. faecalis

Abstract

Background: Teledentistry is considered capable of detecting dental caries remotely without direct contact with patients. Deep learning (DL) algorithms are trained with sufficient datasets to find patterns and models based on learning. By using a DL model, we propose a conceptual framework for the screening of dental caries using smartphones: the DentMA application, a new breakthrough in teledentistry technology. In this study, the DentMA teledentistry application was used for mobile screening for caries. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the use of DentMA teledentistry to detect dental caries, enamel-dentin caries, and untreated caries, and to determine treatment needs in children. Methods: The participants of this study were 124 children aged 4–6 years. The study was conducted by having the participants' mothers take intraoral clinical photos of the participants using the DentMA teledentistry application on their smartphones. For the photo to be taken, each participant was directed to sit upright, with the head looking straight ahead and the mouth open. Results: The results showed that DentMA teledentistry was capable of detecting dental, enamel-dentin, and untreated caries in children, and its ability to predict dental treatment needs was good (p < 0.005). Teledentistry screening using a mobile phone can detect not only caries but also a relationship between the complaints and the medical histories of patients with dental caries. Conclusion: The DentMA teledentistry application can detect dental caries in children according to the individuals' complaints, including enamel-dentin caries and advanced caries, and can help determine treatment needs.
