Abstract

Malocclusion is a common condition in the world's population but is not considered as a normal condition. A normal dentofacial development depends on the normal function of the muscles around the mouth, the balance between the muscles of the lips, cheeks from the outside of the dental arch and the inside of the tongue needs to be maintained. The imbalance of the three orofa-cial muscles will affect the development of dentofacial structures. Malocclusion occurs due to several factors including genetic factors and environmental factors. Prevention of malocclusion can be done in several ways, namely eliminating prolonged bad habits and improving nutrition during pregnancy. If malocclusion has occurred, treatment is carried out as early as possible so as not to aggravate the malocclusion.

Abstract

Cancer is a chronic disease and is the third leading cause of death in children aged 1-14 years. About one third of cancer in child-ren is leukemia with an incidence of 9 cases per 100,000 population. Leukemia is a malignancy of blood cells originating from the bone marrow and can occur in children and adults. Early detection of oral lesions is very important for the prevention and treatment of complications that may arise during therapy, a better prognosis, lower morbidity and mortality for that disease. Oral manifestations of leukemia are gingival enlargement and spontaneous bleeding, oral ulceration, petechiae, hematoma and pale mucosa. Oral lesions occur in both acute and chronic forms of all types of leukemia and are more common in the acute stage. Dental care for patients with leukemia should be focused on preventing injury, local control of gingival bleeding by re-moving the biofilm, and prevention of oral infection. Oral hygiene by brushing teeth, use of fluoride, and a non-cariogenic diet should also be emphasized during treatment.

Abstract

Dental caries is a problem that requires special attention, particularly among primary school children aged 6–12 years. Chemical control of caries using mouthwash and natural control can be achieved by consuming watermelon. This study explored the effectiveness of watermelon consumption and mouth-wash on plaque index and changes in saliva pH in children aged 6–12 years. A true experimental study with a pre-test post-test two-group design was conducted using a sample of 60 children aged 6–12 years at Baraya State Primary School, divided into two groups: watermelon and mouthwash. Plaque index and saliva pH were measured using the PHP-M plaque index and pH strips. A paired t-test showed a significant difference in plaque index in children aged 6–12 years before and after consuming watermelon and mouthwash. A Friedman test showed a significant difference in saliva pH in children aged 6–12 years before and after consuming watermelon and mouthwash. It was concluded that watermelon and mouthwash are effective in reducing plaque index and increasing saliva pH in children aged 6–12 years.
