Abstract

Introduction: Gingiva is a keratinized epithelium tissue that surrounds the tooth and protects the tissue beneath it, which is often wounded. Sumatran robusta coffee, semendo coffee, consists of active compounds such as polyphenol, alkaloid, and saponin that can increase fibroblast amount during the wound healing process. This study aims to determine the effect of semendo coffee (Coffea canephora) extract on fibroblast amount on gingiva wound of Rattus norvegicus. Methods: The true experimental study with a post-test-only control group design was confirmed in this study. This study used twenty-four rats (Rattus norvegicus) divided into 4 groups. The gingival injury was performed on mandible gingiva using a punch biopsy method with a 2mm diameter. The gel was given according to the treatment group 2 times a day for 7 days. Semendo coffee extract at 5%, 20%, and 40%, was applied to the wound treatment groups, while placebo gel was applied to the control group. Euthanasia was delivered on the 8th day, then histological preparation was made. The amount of fibroblast was analyzed by Olympus software. Result: The results showed that the Semendo coffee extract could significantly improve the number of fibroblast cells compared to the control groups. The highest fibroblast amount was found in the group with Semendo coffee extract at a concentration of 40%. Conclusion: Semendo coffee extract at 5%, 20%, and 40% increased the amount of fibroblast on the gingival wound in Rattus norvegicus.

Abstract

 Introduction: Antibacterial effectiveness is the level of an antibacterial agent’s ability in controlling bacteria through growth-inhibiting or killing activities. A natural antibacterial agent that has the potential to be used as an alternative is beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) because it contains phenolic compounds, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and betalains. Antibacterial agents have been widely used as preventive for dental caries in children with the main causative bacteria being Streptococcus mutans. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of beetroot extract against Streptococcus mutans. Methods: This study was in vitro experimental laboratory study with a post-test-only control group design. The maceration method used to obtain beetroot extract which will diluted into various concentrations, 12,500 μg/ml, 25,000 μg/ml, 50,000 μg/ml, and 100,000 μg/ml. Antibacterial effectiveness was tested by measuring the inhibition zone using disc diffusion, determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) using broth dilution, and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) using agar dilution with 0,2% chlorhexidine gluconate as the positive control. Analysis of inhibition zone data was performed statistically using one-way ANOVA and Tukey Post Hoc. MIC and MBC tests were analyzed descriptively. Results: The results show all concentrations of beetroot extract were able to form an inhibition zone with the largest mean was 0.40 ± 0.05 mm, but still lower than the positive control. MIC and MBC of extract were 25,000 μg/ml and 50,000 μg/ml respectively. Conclusion: It can be concluded that beetroot extract has antibacterial effectiveness against Streptococcus mutans, therefore it can be used as a natural alternative for dental caries prevention.

Abstract

The Covid-19 cases have caused limited access to dental and oral health services and education, especially for school children who have higher caries risk. Factors affecting children's dental and oral health during the pandemic need to be studied, and special attention regarding caries prevention measures at this time is needed to be discussed. The purpose of this literature review article is to discuss the dental and oral health of elementary school-age children during the Covid-19 pandemic.
