Abstract

Gigi tiruan diperlukan dalam pemenuhan kesehatan pada umumnya serta kesehatan gigi dan mulut khususnya terutama untuk mempertahankan fungsi kunyah.Tujuan penelitian adalah ingin mengetahui persentase jumlah masyarakat Desa Petang yang menggunakan gigi tiruan untuk menggantikan gigi alami yang telah dicabut. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasi analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Jumlah responden adalah 21 orang yang merupakan pasien yang datang ke Posko Pelayanan di Desa Petang. Pemeriksaan dilakukan dengan mengisi Formulir Pemeriksaan Kesehatan Gigi dan Mulut WHO. Datamenunjukan bahwa tidak ada responden yang menggunakan gigi tiruan. Disimpulkan bahwa pemakaian gigi tiruan masih sangat rendah menunjukkan kurangnyapengetahuan masyarakat dalam upaya pemeliharaan kesehatan gigi dan rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat dalam mempertahankan fungsi gigi dan estetik.

Abstract

Denture stomatitis, the main cause of which is Candida species, especially C.albicans, is an inflammation of the oral mucosa of removable denture users which can be associated with reactions to oral biofilms, denture materials, or trauma due to dentur-es. The use of chemicals as denture cleaners can increase the roughness of the base surface, so that herbal ingredients can be used as alternative denture cleaners. Neem leaves (Azadirachta Indica A. Juss) contain active ingredients that can kill bacte-ria and fungi, in the form of azadirachtin, salannin, meliantriol, and nimbin as well as tannin compounds, saponins, flavonoids and terpenoids which have antifungal mechanisms. This research was aimed to determine the effectiveness of neem leaf extract against C.albicans on acrylic resin denture plates. The sample of this posttest only control group design study consisted of 24 acrylic resin plates contaminated with C.albicans suspension. After that, the samples were immersed in 4 groups of disinfectant solutions, namely 5% EDM, 10% EDM, aquadest and Polident® for 30 minutes. The number of C.albicans colonies was tested by Kruskal Wallis and U Mann Whitney. The results showed that the mean C.albicans colony in the EDM 5%, 10% EDM, aquadest and Polident® groups were 21.50 CFU/mL, 15.50 CFU/mL, 27.50 CFU/mL, 6.50 CFU/mL respectively. Neem leaf extract significantly decreased the number of C.albicans colonies (p <0.005). It was concluded that the higher the EDM con-centration, the greater its ability to reduce the number of C.albicans colonies.
Effect of river water and groundwater pH quality to the teeth calcium level solubility in Kereng Bangkirai area, Central Kalimantan Province: Pengaruh kualitas pH air sungai dan air tanah terhadap kelarutan kadar kalsium gigi di daerah Kereng Bangkirai, Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah Helena Jelita; Sintha Nugrahini

Abstract

Background: Communities along the river in the Kereng Bangkirai area use river and groundwater (wells) for daily needs such as cooking and cleaning themselves and for other needs. It is important to know the quality of the water used by the people in the area, especially related to health conditions regarding the to the levels of dental calcium dissolved. Purpose: This study was aimed to prove the effect of pH quality dental calcium levels dissolved in river and groundwater from Kereng Bangkirai area. Method: This laboratory experiment with a control time series design was using groundwater, river water, aquadest and 36 per-manent human premolars with special criteria. The teeth were soaked for 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes and then measured the level of calcium solubility using a UV-vis spectrophotometer, then the average of dissolved calcium levels in the water was mea-sured. Result: Acidity of aquadest, groundwater and river water were 7.0, 4.08, and 3.16, consecutively; showed that the river water has a high level of pH. The average value of calcium solubility of aquadest was 3,534, in groundwater was 12,682 and the highest 17,882 in river water. Conclusion: Acidity level of river water and groundwater from Kereng Bangkirai area may affect calcium solubility of teeth.

Abstract

The method of chemically cleaning dentures by immersion in an effervescent denture cleanser solution for a long time can affect the transverse strength. Betel leaf extract can be used as a natural disinfectant because it contains essential oils that are antimi-crobial by denaturing cell proteins. This study was intended to examine the decrease in the transverse strength of heat polymeri-rized acrylic resin plates after immersion in 15% betel leaf extract solution. The posttest only control group design study used a sample of 24 HPAR plates, which were divided into 6 groups. The plates were immersed in distilled water for 72 hours to re-duce the residual monomer, immersed in 15% betel leaf extract solution, the positive control group in Fittydent® and the nega-tive control group in aquadest for 1 and 6 hours. The transverse strength was tested using the Universal Testing Machine and the data were analyzed using the one-way Anova test. The results showed the average transverse strength after immersion for 1 hour in 15% betel leaf extract, Fittydent®, and aquadest, respectively, namely 46.512±10.965 MPa, 72.744±22.395 MPa, and 81.522±28.854 MPa; after soaking for 6 hours, respectively, namely 49.171±14.246 MPa, 73.894±25.844 MPa, and 71.860± 17.553 MPa. The LSD test showed that there was a significant difference in transverse strength (p<0.05). It was concluded that the immersion of the HPAR plate in 15% betel leaf extract solution for 1 hour and 6 hours decreased the transverse strength.
