Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of Kuldon® solution in the healing process of aphthous stomatitis.  Methods: A double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 60 subjects (27 males, 33 females), randomly assigned to receive either Kuldon® solution (Drug A) or hyaluronic acid rinse (Drug B). Pain was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and lesion diameter was measured on days 2, 5, and 7. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test (p < 0.05). Results: Drug A showed a greater reduction in pain and lesion size compared to Drug B. By day 5, 100% of Drug A users reported no pain, with 90% showing lesion reduction.Conclusion: Kuldon® solution demonstrates significant therapeutic potential in managing aphthous stomatitis.

Abstract

Independent toilet skills are basic skills that must be mastered by every child, including children with autism spectrum (ASD). This skill begins with toilet training. However, toilet training for ASD children is a challenge in itself. Children with ASD have developmental disorders that impact many aspects of their lives, including toilet training skills. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Smart ABA (Smart Applied Behavior Analysis) Method on the toilet training ability of ASD children. Smart ABA is a development of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). This study uses an experimental method with a single research subject design and data analysis using visual graphs. The subjects of this study are two children with ASD, a boy aged 5 years and 7 years. The parents of the subjects were included in this study. The Smart ABA therapists who trained the subjects in this study have fulfilled their competencies as Smart ABA therapists. The most important finding of this study was the success of both subjects in daytime toilet training within 43 to 67 days.  These findings show the effectiveness of the Smart ABA method in achieving independence in toilet skills for ASD children. The results of this study will provide an in-depth understanding for parents of children with ASD, therapists, professionals, and doctors in the management of toilet training. The results of this study make an important scientific contribution to independent toilet skills in children with ASD. The stages of self-toilet skills using Smart ABA are discussed.

Abstract

Worm disease still a serious problem and is second health problem in Indonesia come after malnutrition. Cumulative worms in human body can cause loss of substances that are useful for growth. The Filariasis and Worm Worms Sub-Directorate of P2PL stated that the prevalence of worm diseases in Pandeglang Regency was 58.3%. Various worm larvae were found when examining soil samples taken at the homes of residents of Sukasari, Pulosari, Pandeglang villages. The aim of this community service (PKM) is to increase knowledge about worm diseases. This Community Service Method (PKM) uses the counseling or lecture method by the presenter. Before and after counseling, residents were given a questionnaire to measure their level of knowledge about worm diseases. Residents' knowledge increased after being given counseling and it is hoped that this can help the community to prevent the emergence of worm diseases in the future.

Abstract

Oral emergencies are trauma involving the teeth and the supporting structures of the teeth. This trauma can be in the form of open wounds, broken teeth and loose teeth. During the COVID-19 pandemic, mothers had more time to spend with their children, so they were expected to be able to provide quick and appropriate action if their children experienced trauma to their teeth. This empowerment activity aims to increase knowledge and skills in handling oral emergencies. This Community Service activity was carried out by the Trisakti University Faculty of Dentistry Team for Teachers and Parents of Kindergarten Al Hidayah 2 Kelapa Gading on December 1, 2022. Counseling and training were carried out offline using presentations on open wounds, broken teeth loose teeth, and first aid that can be done at home. Training and counseling was carried out to 46 participants for 60 minutes. Participants' knowledge was assessed by pre-test and post-test using Google Form. From the results obtained, it was seen that there was an increase in the knowledge of the counseling participants by 13.5% (mean pre-test score was 28.9 ± 14.6 and mean post-test score was 68 ± 15.3).

Abstract

Nanocomposites are materials formed by combining two components, one or both of which are on the nanometer scale. The nanocomposite in this study is a combination of chitosan and silver nanoparticles produced through the synthesis of silver nitrate using Cymbopogon citratus extract. Silver nanoparticles have antibacterial abilities that can be utilized to overcome various diseases. However, their antibacterial properties may be reduced due to the tendency of silver nanoparticles to agglomerate. This can be overcome by the addition of chitosan as a stabilizing agent to prevent agglomeration and maintain the antibacterial effectiveness of silver nanoparticles. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of a nanocomposite formed by combining chitosan and silver nanoparticles synthesized using Cymbopogon citratus extract against Staphylococcus aureus through the diffusion method. The samples used included nanocomposites at concentrations of 6.25 mg/mL, 12.5 mg/mL, 15 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL, and 50 mg/mL, amoxicillin as a positive control, Acetic acid, and distilled water as negative controls. The results of antibacterial activity testing showed that all nanocomposite test concentrations had the ability to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus as evidenced by the formation of an inhibition zone around the disc paper. However, the highest antibacterial activity shown by the nanocomposites was still lower compared to the antibacterial activity of amoxicillin Keywords: Antibacterial activity, Chitosan, Cymbopogon citratus, Silver nanoparticles, Staphylococcus aureus
