Abstract

Abstract: Behavior of maintaining denture hygiene is an important factor in the success of denture care. Poor denture hygiene maintenance can cause problems for dental and oral health such as caries, gingivitis, stomatitis, xerostomia, candidiasis, and periodontal disease, especially in users of acrylic-based removable dentures. This study was aimed to obtain the oral hygiene maintenance behavior of denture wearers. This was a literature review study using secondary data sources of the Google Scholar and PubMed databases with keywords, as follows: maintenance behavior, oral hygiene, denture users, acrylic removable partial dentures. Data selection were carried out based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, followed by a critical appraisal. The selection results in six literatures consisting in the form of cross-sectional studies. The results showed that the hygiene behavior of acrylic-based removable dentures in the community was classified as poor. In conclusion, maintenance of oral hygiene behavior of acrylic removable partial denture wearers is classified as poor due to lack of knowledge of most denture wearers to keep their dentures clean.Keywords: maintenance behavior of oral hygiene; denture wearers; acrylic removable partial dentures Abstrak: Perilaku memelihara kebersihan gigi tiruan merupakan faktor penting dalam keberhasilan perawatan gigi tiruan.

Abstract

Abstract: Periodontal disease is still one of the dental and oral health disorders that has a high prevalence worldwide. Moreover, it can cause disorders in pregnancy including low birth weight (LBW) infant with the risks of death as well as disorders of growth and development in children. To date, low birth weight is one of the causes of high infant mortality rate. This study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between periodontal disease in pregnant women and the incidence of LBW baby. This was a literature review study searching data on three databases namely Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar and using keywords and a combination of boolean operators. After being selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, critical appraisal was conducted, and nine literatures were obtained: cross sectional study, case-control study, cohort study designs. The results showed that the most common periodontal disease in pregnant women was periodontitis. Women who gave birth to LBW babies had poor periodontal conditions compared to women who gave birth to babies with normal weight. Most of the literatures showed a significant relationship between periodontal disease in pregnant women and the incidence of LBW baby. In conclusion, there is a relationship between periodontal disease in pregnant women and the incidence of LBW infant. Periodontitis is one of the risk factors of poor pregnancy outcomes.Keywords: periodontal disease; pregnant women; low birth weight (LBW)  Abstrak: Penyakit periodontal masih merupakan salah satu gangguan kesehatan gigi dan mulut dengan prevalensi cukup tinggi di dunia.

Abstract

Abstract: Rough surface and poorly kept denture, especially those facing the supporting mucosa, can become a reservoir for the growth of microorganisms, such as the Candida albicans. Natural ingredients are chosen for denture cleanser because they are relatively cheap and safe. The mangrove plant Bruguiera gymnorrhiza is a natural source which contains active compounds, including saponins, flavonoids, phenol hydroquinones, alkaloids, and tannins which are antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, hypoallergenic, etc. This study aimed to determine the inhibition of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangrove leaf extract on the growth of Candida albicans on removable denture plates and to determine the effective concentration that could inhibit the growth of Candida albicans. This was a true experimental laboratory study with a post test control group design. The test method used was the modified Kirby-Bauer method using wells. Samples were divided into four groups with respective concentrations of 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, control positive, and control negative. The one-way ANOVA test showed a p-value of <0.05, meaning that there was a significant difference in the average inhibition based on the four concentration groups. The Post Hoc test (Tukey's HSD) showed that there were differences in the strength of inhibition at each treatment concentration and the control group. In conclusion, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangrove leaf extract can inhibit the growth of the Candida albicans. Keywords: denture stomatitis; Candida albicans; Bruguiera gymnorrhiza   Abstrak: Permukaan gigi tiruan yang kasar dan kurang dijaga kebersihannya, terlebih khusus yang berhadapan dengan mukosa pendukung dapat menjadi reservoir bagi pertumbuhan mikroorganisme, seperti jamur Candida albicans yang dapat menyebabkan denture stomatitis.

Abstract

Abstract: Decreased salivary flow rate can be caused by many things, inter alia age, consumption of certain drugs, and psychological effects. The benefits of coconut water have been widely studied, one of which is related to dental and oral health. However, there are still not many studies about the effects of various varieties of coconut water in increasing the flow rate of saliva, especially old coconut water which is often thrown away as waste. This study aimed to determine whether there was an effect of coconut water (Cocos nucifera) gargling on the rate of salivary flow. This was an experimental and analytical study with a quasi-experimental design, and pre-test and post-test control group design approaches. Samples were dentistry undergraduate students of Universitas Sam Ratulangi taken by simple random sampling. Samples were divided into two groups: treatment group (gargling with old coconut water) and control group (gargling with mineral water). The results showed that in the treatment group, there was an increase of salivary flow rate from 0.7114 to 1.1248 after gargling with old coconut water. Meanwhile, in the control group, there was an increase of salivary flow rate from 0.7962 to 0,8495 after gargling with mineral water. Since research data were normally distributed and homogenous, the statistical analysis was continued with the unpaired T-test which obtained a p-value of <0.001 (p<0.05). In conclusion, coconut water (Cocos nucifera) gargling can influence the salivary flow rate.

Abstract: Dental caries is still a health problem experienced by many children in Indonesia. One of the factors that influence dental caries is behavioral factor. Changing behavior can be done by intervening through dental health education, especially about tooth brushing. One method that encourages the target to participate actively and involves many senses is the demonstration method. This study aimed to find out the effectiveness of dental health education (DHE) accompanied by demonstration method on increasing knowledge of tooth brushing among elementary school students. This was a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group design, using pretest and posttest for the treatment and control groups that were already determined. Samples were 100 students of SD Advent Paal 2 Manado, divided into two equal groups: control group (DHE without demonstration method) and treatment group (DHE with demonstration method). The Wilcoxon test showed that the p-value of dental health education with or without demonstration method was 0.000 (p<0.05), which meant an increase in knowledge after treatment with DHE. However, based on the obtained scores, the difference in the increase in the treatment group was greater than that of the control group. In conclusion, dental health education using demonstration method can increase effectively the knowledge about tooth brushing among elementary school students. Keywords: dental health education; demonstration; knowledge about tooth brushing   Abstrak: Karies gigi masih menjadi masalah kesehatan gigi dan mulut yang dialami oleh banyak anak di Indonesia.

Abstract

Abstract: Oral and dental health issues remain a predominant global concern, and Indonesia itself still faces a relatively high prevalence of caries among children aged 10-14 years. Poor oral health habits can be a contributing factor to the development of tooth decay in children. Behavioral changes in children can be achieved through increased knowledge. Interventions through Dental Health Education (DHE) using appropriate methods and media can be conducted to enhance children's knowledge of oral and dental health, expecting of subsequently influencing on their behaviors. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of DHE using simulation and video playback methods in improving the knowledge of oral and dental health among elementary school students. This was a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group, employing pre-tests and post-tests. The study samples consisted of 60 students of SD Negeri Kalasey (elementary school) Manado as respondents, selected through total sampling. The Wilcoxon test conducted on the simulation and video playback education groups obtained a p-value of 0.00 (p<0.05), indicating an improvement of knowledge for both methods. The Mann-Whitney test showed a p-value of 0.689 (p>0.05), indicating there was no significant difference between the two methods. In conclusion, there is no difference in effectiveness between Dental Health Education using simulation and video playback methods. Keywords: dental health education; simulation; video playback; knowledge    Abstrak: Kesehatan gigi dan mulut masih merupakan masalah global.
