Abstract

Introduction: Parents knowledge related to oral health behaviour in children. Parents introduced the habit of tooth brushing to their children and how to maintain good oral hygiene. The purpose of this study was to describe parents knowledge about tooth brushing and oral hygiene level in the kindergarten students. Methods: The study design was cross sectional research and descriptive observational. This study was conducted towards 25 students of Gymboree and Kidsville at Bandung, Indonesia, which consisted of 14 boys (56%) and 11 girls (44%). The data collection was done by giving questionnaires to parents and examination of student’s oral hygiene level by using PHP index. Results: Generally parents already have the good knowledge that supports the children oral hygiene level, but there were still 52% of parents who does not use the recommended techniques to brush the outer surface of the teeth and 64% of parents who does not use the recommended techniques to brush the tooth surface that face to the cheek. The oral hygiene level of Gymboree and Kidsville students were very good 0% (0), 32% good (0.1- 1.7), 60% medium (1.8-3.4), and 8% bad (3.5-5.0). Awareness of parents about tooth brushing and oral hygiene level of children were generally adequate, but were not fulfilling the standards of oral health recommended by dentist.

Abstract

Introduction: Mangosteen (Garcinia Mangostana L.) peel extract has widely used in the pharmaceutical field due to its anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and immunity boost properties. It had been proofed to be able to prevent and reduce the amount of plaque and cure gingivitis. This study was aimed to compare mangosteen peel extract at the concentration of 12.5 and 25% on the mouse gingival inflam­mation healing process. Methods: This study was a true experimental laboratory study. The subjects consisted of 28 mice divided into four groups, which were negative control (Aquadest) group; positive control (0.2% of Chlorhexidine) group; 12.5% Group of mangosteen peel extract group; and 25% respec­tively. Examination of the inflammatory healing process was observed every 2 hours during 6 hours, and the inflammatory measurements of mouse gingival performed by using calipers. Data obtained was an­alyzed with the one-way ANOVA test (α=0.05) and the Tukey’s range test. Results: The results from the one-way ANOVA test and the Tukey’s range test found that there was a significant difference on the in­flammation size between the group with 12.5% of mangosteen peel extract and the group with aquadest and 0.2% of chlorhexidine. Meanwhile, the mice group with 12.5% of mangosteen peel extract and group with 25% of mangosteen peel extract did not show a significant difference in inflammatory size decrease. Conclusion: The mangosteen peel extract at the concentration of 12.5% was showing the highest anti-in­flammatory potentials since the first measurement on the second hour after treatment.
