Abstract

Haemodialysis is a medical procedure that artificially filters blood. This procedure is carried out to treat children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Although haemodialysis is a lifesaving treatment, it also raises many severe oral manifestations associated with ESDR. Among these are increased hypoplasia, enamel opacities, uremic stomatitis, oral bleeding, increased periodontal disease, reduced salivary flow, xerostomia, and an increased tendency of calculus deposition. This paper will discuss the oral manifestations associated with ESRD and their management in children undergoing haemodialysis treatment.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a systemic condition that affected the periodontium condition. The purpose of the research was to find the difference of the gingival condition between diabetes mellitus and nondiabetes mellitus patient on children at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) Jakarta. The research method was descriptive comparative. The sample consists of 20 children with diabetes mellitus and 20 children nondiabetes mellitus used purposive sampling.

Abstract

Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste is a topical application substance that consisted of a series of milk derivative peptide as a result of phosphorylation and has an antibacterial activity. The objective of this research was to find out the difference of Streptococcus mutans growth before and after CPP-ACP paste given topically to child's teeth. The method of the research was a quasi-experiment. Research samples were 10 students of MI Al Falah Islamic Boarding School, Jatinangor, West Jawa Indonesia and collected with purposive sampling technique. This research used dental plaque from child's teeth before and after applicated by CPP-ACP paste. The plaque was cultivated in selective media Tryptone Yeast Cysteine Sucrose Bacitracin (TYCSB) with repeated twice. Streptococcus mutans colony in TYCSB were counted by Stuart colony counter and statistically analyzed based on paired t-test. The results showed the average of Streptococcus mutans growth before applicated CPP-ACP paste was 57.05, whereas after applicated CPP-ACP paste for 1 days was 9.4; for 3 days was 2.85, and for 14 days was 1.7 colony. The research concluded that there was a decrease of Streptococcus mutans growth in isolate plaque after CPP-ACP paste topically given to child's teeth.

Abstract

Background: Traditional caries removal techniques, like using a vibrating drill, have several drawbacks, including unpleasant sensations, heat that can irritate dental pulp, the need for local anesthesia, high energy consumption, and environmental concerns. A new method, CMCR (chemomechanical caries removal) with Brix 3000, aims to address these issues. It is minimally invasive, painless, and comfortable, promoting a positive attitude towards dental care, especially for pediatric patients, those with anxiety or fear, and high-risk medical patients. Objective: This literature review examines the use of Brix 3000 gel for chemomechanical caries removal. Methods: The study uses a scoping review method, conducting a comprehensive literature search on PubMed, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar databases. The search focused on articles from the last 10 years using keywords like "chemomechanical caries removal," "Papain Based Gel," "Brix 3000," and "Dental caries." Results: Brix 3000 is the latest effective, efficient, and non-cytotoxic CMCR method. It has a shorter application time and lower cytotoxicity compared to other methods. It is the only CMCR agent using Encapsulating Buffer Emulsion (EBE) technology, enhancing proteolysis to remove degraded collagen from infected dentin. Brix 3000 is easy to use, requires no special instruments, offers patient comfort, does not need local anesthesia or drills, and does not irritate healthy tissue. Conclusion: Brix 3000 gel is an effective and efficient chemomechanical agent for caries removal.

Abstract

Background: Several toothpaste ingredients have also been proven to prevent dental caries. An alternative material like xylitol can reduce biofilms and caries formation. Objective: This study aims to test the antibacterial xylitol toothpaste against Streptococcus mutans biofilm. Materials and Methods: The type of this research was true experimental by using two kinds of toothpaste with xylitol active ingredient (samples 1 and 2) and toothpaste with fluoride (sample 3). The toothpaste was diluted using the serial dilution method, and then the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericide concentration (MBC), minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC), and minimum biofilm inhibition concentration (MBIC) were examined. The data were analyzed with ANOVA and Pearson correlation with a significance value of p0.005. Results: The MIC values of samples 1, 2, and 3 were 0.39%, 0.78%, and 0.39%, respectively. The MBC of samples 1, 2, and 3 were 12.5%, 25%, and 6.25%, respectively. The results of MBIC samples 1, 2, and 3 were 1.56%, 1.56%, and 0.78%, respectively. The results of MBEC samples 1, 2, and 3 were 6.25%, 6.25%, and 1.56%, respectively. There was a difference in the decrease of the mass of Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175 biofilm after administration using xylitol and fluoride toothpaste, with a p-value of 0.0295. Additionally, there is a correlation between the time of administration of xylitol toothpaste with the changes in the mass of the biofilm Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175. Conclusion: Xylitol toothpaste can inhibit the growth and eradication of Streptococcus mutans biofilm ATCC 25175.

Abstract

Background: Terpenoid isolate sarang semut (Myrmecodia pendans) is a natural material that has antibacterial power through the destruction of the cell membrane of Streptoccus mutans (S. mutans). Fructosiltransferase (ftf) is one of the extrapolisaccharides produced by S. mutans. The formation of Ftf is governed by the ftf gene. The aim of research was to know the correlation between terpenoid of Sarang semut administration with ftf mRNA expression of S. mutans biofilm ATCC 25175.Method: The study used mixed methods, namely descriptive explorative method to look at the isolation of ftf gene and ftf mRNA expression. This study began with making 1 day biofilm , then given terpenoid isolates of sarang semut and chlorhexidine. Next, isolation of ftf genes and ftf mRNA expression was carried out, then the differences in S. mutans ATCC 25175 mRNA ftf expression in sarang semut and chlorhexidine were given for 1 and 30 minutes using Real-Time PCR. Continued by looking at the relationship of the duration of administration of sarang semut terpenoids to the expression of S. mutans ATCC 25175 mRNA ftf biofilm. Statistical analysis used the t test with p-value <0.05 and Pearson.Results: The results showed that ftf gene with 130 bp length and ftf mRNA expression could be isolated from S. mutans biofilm ATCC 25175 which were given terpenoid isolates from sarang semut. The expression of sarang semut mRNA ftf and chlorhexidine did not have a significant difference for 1 minute (p = 0.0761), whereas in 30 minutes the ant nest had a higher mRNA expression (p = 0.0186). There is a relationship between the duration of administration of terpenoid isolates of sarang semut with S. mutans ATCC 25175 mRNA ftf expression (r2 = 0.614), with a medium correlation coefficient.Conclusion: The conclusion of the study were that sarang semut terpenoid had the same effect as chlorhexidine for 1 minute on S. mutans biofilms, whereas at 30 minutes it was different. There is a relationship between terpenoids of sarang semut isolates and S. mutans biofilm ATCC 25175 mRNA expression.
