Abstract

Background: The global prevalence of dental caries is still high and reach 60 to 90% of school children. Dental caries is caused by dental plaque that can be prevented by brushing teeth. ADA recommended two minutes as duration of brushing teeth, but many Indonesian children haven’t reached that standard. Purpose: Knowing the effectiveness of two minutes toothbrush timer and conventional toothbrush to the plaque accumulation. Methods: This was an experimental study using pre and post-test group control with single blind design. Amount of 40 students aged 7-8 years divided to two group (control and intervention) using simple random sampling technique. The respondens was instructed to brushing teeth (Bass method) for two minutes, then the plaque index was measured by Löe & Silness method. Results: Independent t-test results showed the significant differences (mean of plaque index reduction was higher in toothbrush timer group compared to conventional toothbrush group). However, there was no significant difference at the last visit. Conclusion: Using two minutes toothbrush timer is not effective to reduce plaque accumulation. With the increasing of children’s ability in brushing teeth, making the use of timer toothbrush or without timer is useful in reducing plaque.

Abstract

Background: Tea contains beneficial chemical compounds, one of which is polyphenols. The polyphenols in black tea can inhibit the growth of bacteria and prevent oral infections. Black tea extract has been proven to increase salivary pH, but children do not like it because of its bitter taste. Therefore, innovation is needed by incorporating black tea extract into candy containing sorbitol. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of chewing black tea candy containing sorbitol on salivary pH compared to non-black tea candy in children aged 7-8. Methods: This research is an experimental field study using a single-blind randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research subjects were of 42 children aged 7-8 years divided into two groups, the treatment group, and the placebo group, using a simple random sampling technique. A sampling of saliva was carried out before and after chewing hard candy. Monitoring was carried out for approximately 23 days, and pH was measured three times. Measurement of pH using a digital pH meter®. Results: After conducting the research, it can be seen that there is a significant difference between chewing hard candy made from black tea and sorbitol on the changes in salivary pH (p-value = 0.0001). Conclusion: Chewing hard candy made from black tea and sorbitol is likely to help increase salivary pH, and it could be a solution to prevent dental caries in the future. Keywords : Black tea; Dental caries; Hard candy;  Salivary pH ; Sorbitol.

Abstract

Background: The use of black tea as an anti-plaque and anti-caries material is still very limited in Indonesia. Various studies have shown the benefits of black tea which can reduce plaque scores, increase fluoride levels and inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria. The innovation of black tea in the form of candy is expected to be liked by children and does not eliminate its benefits as an alternative to anti-cariogenic ingredients. Objective: To determine the difference in effectiveness between consuming black tea candy with sorbitol and placebo candy (sorbitol only) in reducing plaque accumulation. Methods: This study is a experimental using a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials (RCT) design and a single blind method. The research subjects consisted of 42 students at SDN 019 Cempaka Putih and SDN 03 Pagi Pasar Minggu, aged 7-8 years. The sample was selected based on the inclusion criteria of the study. The examination was carried out to determine plaque scores using the Loe and Sillness index and pufa index scores which were measured in 3 measurement times, namely day 1, day 7 and day 23. Results: The average PUFA index of research subjects was 1,05. The results of this study showed that there was a significant decrease in plaque scores in each group before and after consuming sweets on the 1st day, 7th day and 23rd day measurement (p-value 0.05). In the black tea group, there was a greater reduction in plaque scores than the placebo group.. Conclusion: Consuming black tea candy compared to placebo candy containing sorbitol had the same effectiveness in reducing plaque scores.

Abstract

Background: Childhood dental health is a vital component of overall well-being, with Early Childhood Caries (ECC) and defect enamel being major concerns. This article explores the intricate connection between stunting, malnutrition, and the development of defect enamel and ECC in children. Methods: Narrative review use Pubmed and Google Scholar databases with article inclusion criteria, namely research articles and reviews that discuss the relationship between enamel defects and malnutrition and ECC with malnutrition Results: Childhood malnutrition, characterized by inadequate intake of essential nutrients, poses a significant global health challenge. Stunting, a manifestation of chronic malnutrition, adversely affects physical growth and cognitive development in children. However, the link between malnutrition and dental health has not received adequate attention. This article examines the mechanisms through which malnutrition, specifically stunting, can contribute to the development of defective enamel in children. Nutritional deficiencies, particularly in calcium, vitamin D, and fluoride, are identified as key culprits in compromising enamel formation and strength. Weakening of the enamel leaves teeth vulnerable to dental caries, including ECC, which can lead to pain and long-term oral health problems. The complex relationship between malnutrition, stunting, defect enamel, and ECC calls for multifaceted solutions. Conclusion: This article highlights the importance of holistic public health initiatives, which encompass nutritional education for caregivers and improved access to dental care services for at-risk children. Interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare professionals is emphasized to address the synergistic nature of these interconnected health challenges.

Abstract

Background: Physiological changes in the elderly include decreased saliva production that causes dry mouth, difficulty in chewing and swallowing. Chewing gum and candies with a chewy texture like jelly can help stimulate the salivary glands. Black tea contains some phenolic and flavonoid compounds that have antioxidant properties that can increase the saliva flow rate. Objective: To determine the gap in saliva volume of elderly subjects before and after chewing black tea jelly candy compared to the saliva production when subjects chewed non-black tea candies and the control group (no treatment). This study also determined the prevalence of xerostomia in subjects. Materials and Methods: This field experiment was conducted using a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials design with a pretest-posttest control group design. 30 elderly subjects aged 45-90 years in the Tresna Werda Budi Mulia 1 Nursing home, Jakarta were selected based on the predetermined inclusion criteria. They signed the informed consent and answered the Summated Xerostomia Inventory Questionnaire (SXI). Salivary volume before and after chewing black tea jelly candy was measured using a measuring cup. Statistical tests consisting of Oneway ANOVA and Dependent T-Test were performed to analyze the data. Results: The prevalence of elderly who complaining of xerostomia in this research was 40%. There was a significant gap in saliva volume between the three groups with p = 0.002 (P<0.05). An increase in saliva volume in the black tea jelly candy treatment group was identified. The average volume before intervention in the black tea jelly candy treatment group was 1.26 mL and after the intervention was 2.15 mL. Conclusion: Chewing black tea jelly candy increase the saliva volume in elderly subjects.
