Abstract

The relation between pregnancy and periodontal inflammation has been recognized for many years, therefore, it is important to maintain and promote oral health during pregnancy. The aim of this research is to evaluate dentists knowledge in oral hygiene instructions in preventing gingivitis in the pregnant women. The research has conducted a survey of 40 general dentists in West Bandung District. The survey was done by distributing forms of the questionnaire sent by mail or by telephone interview, and by asking the dentists about their knowledge in oral hygiene instructions regarding the dental care for pregnant women. All of the respondents agreed that oral health during pregnancy was important and therefore it was important to give the Oral Hygiene Instructions (OHI) to the pregnant patients. Two-thirds of dentists (63.8%) agreed that to do scaling was safe, 36.2% of the respondents doubted if Chlorhexidine mouthwash was safe for the use in pregnant women. Almost half of the dentists (57.4%) were doubtful that there was a relationship between periodontitis and preterm birth or low weight birth rate. Dentists as one of the providers of prenatal health care already realized how important it is to keep oral health during pregnancy; however, they doubted if there was a relationship between periodontitis, pre-term birth and low weight birth rate and the safety of using chlorhexidine as an antimicrobial agent during the pregnancy. Providing up to date information and continuing education for dentists knowledge in order to prevent gingivitis during pregnancy.

Abstract

Percoll density gradient centrifugation (PDGC) is a widely used method for sperm separation in Indonesia. This study evaluated sperm quality, membrane integrity, acrosome damage, and DNA fragmentation after PDGC-based sperm sexing and cryopreservation. This research was conducted as a laboratory experiment with six treatment groups: fresh semen (T1), post-sexing X-chromosome-bearing sperm (T2), post-sexing Y-chromosome-bearing sperm (T3), post-thawing unsexed semen (T4), post-thawing X-chromosome-bearing sperm (T5), and post-thawing Y-chromosome-bearing sperm (T6). The observed variables included individual motility (IM), viability, concentration, abnormality, total motile sperm (TMS), intact acrosome cap (IAC), membrane integrity (MI), DNA fragmentation, and sperm kinetic variables assessed using computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA). The results showed that PDGC sexing significantly reduced IM, concentration, TMS, viability, MI, and IAC. Furthermore, the freezing of both unsexed and sexed semen further decreased IM, concentration, TMS, viability, MI, and IAC while increasing sperm abnormalities. DNA fragmentation increased post-sexing and freezing in unsexed semen, indicating potential DNA damage from these processes. Kinetic variable assessment using CASA showed that PDGC maintained sperm motility characteristics, whereas freezing led to a significant decline in sperm kinetics. In conclusion, PDGC is a viable method for sperm sexing in cattle, as it preserves sperm quality, membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, DNA integrity, and motility characteristics while being compatible with semen cryopreservation. These findings confirm that PDGC-processed semen is suitable for artificial insemination (AI).
