Abstract

The surface roughness of acrylic denture bases can be a reservoir for food debris and microorganisms. Surface roughness can result from disinfection procedures. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanii) is a spice-producing tree which has aroma and taste and contains active substances that most act as antimicrobials, namely cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, which can be used as disinfectants. The purpose of this study was to determine the change in the value of the surface roughness of acrylic resin after being immersed in 10% cinnamon extract and 0.5% sodium hypochlorite as a disinfectant. The research was experimental. The samples were heat-polymerized acrylic resin plates immersed in 10% cinnamon extract, 0.5% sodium hypochlorite, and distilled water. The results showed a significant difference in the degree of roughness of the acrylic plate immersed in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution compared to 10% cinnamon extract. The acrylic plate immersed in cinnamon extract had a minor level of roughness (0,37 µm) compared to the plate immersed in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution (0,20 µm). A cinnamon extract of 10% did not affect the roughness of the acrylic plate. DOI : 10.54052/jhds.v3n1.p1-10

Abstract

Tooth loss in the elderly is a health problem that has a significant impact on aesthetic function, mastication, and quality of life. Socioeconomic factors, such as education, income, and occupation, contribute to the rate of tooth loss. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic level and tooth loss in the elderly in Cireundeu Village; analytical observational research with a cross-sectional design using primary data taken directly during research activities carried out using the total sampling technique. The analysis was conducted using Fisher's exact test. The study was conducted on 62 elderly respondents (≥60 years old) in Cireundeu Village. The analysis showed that the majority of respondents had a low education level (91.9%) and low income (80.6%). The average number of tooth loss in respondents was 19.92. There is a significant relationship between socioeconomic level and tooth loss; respondents with lower education, income, and no work experience have more tooth loss than respondents with higher socioeconomic levels (p-value <0.05). Socioeconomic level has a significant relationship with tooth loss in the elderly in Cireundeu Village. Low education, income, and not working are factors that can increase the risk of tooth loss.
