Abstract

Background: Bleeding is often found in dental practice. Excessive bleeding can hinder wound healing. For the surgeon to achieve rapid and effective hemostasis is important. Therefore, a topical hemocoagulation solution is given to help control surface bleeding by applying it locally. One such topical agent is Feracrylum. Feracrylum is a polymer of polyacrylic acid containing 0.05 to 0.5% iron. Feracrylum iron element will react with albumin and then convert water-soluble fibrinogen into water-insoluble fibrin which then forms a coagulum. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Feracrylum 1% and Feracrylum 4% in stopping bleeding after gingival incision.Method: This study is a true experimental study that includes 3 treatment groups, namely the group without being given hemostatic agents, the group being given Feracrylum 1%, and the group being given Feracrylum 4%, each group consisting of 9 rats. Data were collected by calculating the bleeding time from the start of bleeding until the bleeding stopped after the gingival incision using a stopwatch and then recorded. Data analysis using Shapiro-Wilk, homogeneity test using Levene Test, nonparametric test using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney.Result: The results showed that the average bleeding time in the group without hemostatic agents, the group receiving 1% Feracrylum, and the group receiving Feracrylum 4% was 221 seconds, 103 seconds, and 50 seconds. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney showed that there was a significant difference in bleeding time between groups.Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that the application of Feracrylum 4% was faster in stopping bleeding compared to the application of Feracrylum 1% after gingival incision in wistar rats.

Abstract

Widespread daily toothbrushing, Indonesian adolescents continue to demonstrate poor preventive practice, reflecting a critical knowledge-practice gap. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the "JURUS SAKTI" structured caries prevention education program on knowledge among students of SMK Al-Sya'iriyah, Limpung, Batang. A one-group pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design was employed with 32 participants (10 males, 22 females). The JURUS SAKTI program comprised four interactive modules covering correct toothbrushing technique, sugar consumption awareness, fluoride use, and the importance of routine dental visits. Knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire administered before and immediately after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. Results showed a statistically significant improvement in mean knowledge scores from 51.56 (±10.66) pre-intervention to 79.69 (±10.70) post-intervention (Z = −4.946, p < .001), with a large effect size (r = 0.874). Knowledge categorization revealed a complete transformation: participants classified as "Good" increased from 0% to 65.6%, while none remained in the "Poor" category post-intervention. The JURUS SAKTI program is an effective, practical, and replicable model for caries prevention education in community settings.
