Abstract

Background: Two ancient skeletons (Subang Men) were excavated at the Subanglarang site, Subang Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The partial jaw containing set of teeth from the two skeletons was examined to determine the level of dental attrition present which was then used to estimate age at death.Objective: The aim of this study was therefore to determine the pattern of attrition on the molar teeth and use this to estimate the age at death of the Subang Men.Methods: The pattern of attrition in each cusp of the first molar (M1) and second molar (M2) was examined clinically and then compared with the Average Stage of Attrition (ASA) method. Estimated age was then estimated using formula that are outlined in the Average Stage of Attrition (ASA) method.Results: The results showed that the level of attrition that occurred in the M1 and M2 teeth of the two ancient man was significant. The estimated age at death calculated based on the attrition pattern of molar teeth for skeleton 1 was 38.9 and skeleton 2 was 61.9-64.6.Conclusion: Dental attrition which is caused by physiologic and pathologic teeth friction is related to age. Therefore, age estimation can be determined based on the attrition pattern that occurs in the teeth.

Abstract

Background: Prophylactic antibiotics are required as part of root canal therapy for patient with chronic apical abscess. Streptococcus and Staphylococcus are the most common bacteria found in root canals with chronic apical abscess. Resistance to amoxicillin, clindamycin and vancomycin has been increasing year after year, necessitating the use of a sensitivity test. The goal of this research was to determine the sensitivity of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus from root canals with chronic apical abscess to amoxicillin, clindamycin, and vancomycin to make scientific antibiotic selections.Method: Six isolates of Staphylococcus and one Streptococcus from root canals with chronic apical abscess were identified by Remel RapID and tested to 10 g amoxicillin, 2 g clindamycin, and 30 g vancomycin using Kirby-Bauer disk-diffusion sensitivity test. The diameter inhibition zone was measured and interpreted according to the CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) standard.Result: Three of six Staphylococcus are resistant, one of six are intermediate, and two are sensitive to amoxicillin. While the Streptococcus is sensitive to amoxicillin. In contrast, all Staphylococcus and the Streptococcus are resistant to clindamycin. Whilst four of six Staphylococcus are resistant, two are intermediate, and the Streptococcus is resistant to vancomycin.Conclusion: Staphylococcus sensitivity to amoxicillin and vancomycin are diverse even though resistant to clindamycin. In comparison, the Streptococcus sensitivity to clindamycin and vancomycin is resistant but sensitive to amoxicillin.

Abstract

Background: Dentist is one of the professions that are vulnerable to the transmission of infectious diseases there is hence it requires proper infection control. The educational hospital is responsible for carrying out infection control training that includes appropriate standard precautions for dental students before carrying out educational activities in the hospital so that students are ready to treat patients. This study aims to determine the knowledge of interns and residents at Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital on infection prevention and control.Method: This is a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach using data from the training section of Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital from August 2020 to February 2021. Determination of the number of samples taken using the Isaac and Michael formula and using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique.Result: The average value of interns and residents are the same, which is 71, seen also from the average percentage of those who answered correctly on the questionnaire which showed similar results between interns and residents. Conclusion: Knowledge on infection prevention and control among interns and residents are the same, with knowledge classified in the sufficient category.

Abstract

ABSTRAKIntroduction: Oral candidiasis caused by Candida albicans is a common issue in dental medicine. Red dragon fruit peel (Hylocereus polyrhizus) is known to contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and phenolics, which have potential antifungal properties. This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal effectiveness of red dragon fruit peel extract against Candida albicans ATCC 10231 in vitro. Methods: This experimental study employed the well diffusion method. The extract was tested in two volumes (20 µL and 100 µL) and five concentrations (50%, 25%, 12,5%, 6,25%, 3,125%). Nystatin 100,000 IU/mL was used as a positive control, and 2.5% DMSO as a negative control. Microorganism identification was conducted using CHROMagar and hematoxylin-eosin staining. Results: No inhibition zones were observed in any of the extract treatments.. In contrast, Nystatin showed consistent inhibition zones with an average diameter above 17 mm, while DMSO showed no inhibitory effect. Morphological identification confirmed the test microorganism as Candida albicans. Conclusions: Red dragon fruit peel extract did not exhibit antifungal activity against Candida albicans in the well diffusion method. Further research is needed using different approaches and methodologies.KEY WORDS: candida albicans, red dragon fruit, antifungal, flavonoid, well diffusionEfektivitas antijamur ekstrak kulit buah naga merah (Hylocereus polyrhizus) terhadap candida albicans ATCC 10231: Studi eksperimentalABSTRACTPendahuluan: Kandidiasis oral akibat Candida albicans merupakan masalah umum di bidang kedokteran gigi. Kulit buah naga merah (Hylocereus polyrhizus) diketahui mengandung senyawa bioaktif seperti flavonoid dan fenolik yang berpotensi sebagai antijamur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas ekstrak kulit buah naga merah terhadap Candida albicans ATCC 10231 secara in vitro. Metode: Studi eksperimental ini menggunakan metode difusi sumur (well diffusion). Ekstrak diuji dalam dua volume (20 µL dan 100 µL) dan lima konsentrasi (50%, 25%, 12,5%, 6,25%, 3,125%). Nystatin 100.000 IU/mL digunakan sebagai kontrol positif, dan DMSO 2,5% sebagai kontrol negatif. Identifikasi mikroorganisme dilakukan melalui CHROMagar dan pewarnaan hematoksilin eosin. Hasil: Tidak menunjukan zona hambat pada seluruh perlakuan ekstrak.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is one of the herbal plants that is widely used as a traditional medicine and has been known to contain alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, punicalagin, phenolics and tannins that function as antifungals. Given the need for alternative antifungals with minimal side effects and the potential of pomegranate aril as significant antimicrobials and antifungals. This study aims to determine the inhibitory power of pomegranate aril extract against C. albicans which is a fungus that causes oral candidiasis. Methods: The antifungal activity test was carried out using the agar diffusion method by measuring the diameter of the inhibition zone. The average value of the measurement results was taken to see the effect of the concentration of pomegranate aril extract on the growth of C. albicans. Results: The results showed that pomegranate aril extract concentrations of 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25% and 3.12% did not produce an inhibition zone Conclusions: Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that pomegranate aril extract has no inhibitory power against C. albicans.KEY WORDS: Oral candidiasis, pomegranate aril extract, antifungal, C. albicans, inhibitory zone diameter.Efektivitas antijamur ekstrak aril buah delima terhadap jamur candida albicans ATCC 10231 secara in vitro: Studi eksperimentalABSTRAKPendahuluan:  Delima (Punica granatum L.) merupakan salah satu tanaman herbal yang banyak digunakan sebagai obat tradisional dan telah diketahui mengandung senyawa alkaloid, saponin, flavonoid, punicalagin, fenolik dan tanin yang berfungsi sebagai antijamur.
