Abstract

Pendahuluan: Lateralisasi hemisfer otak berdampak pada lateralisasi organ yaitu fenomena alami berupa penggunaan salah satu sisi organ dengan komponen simetris kanan dan kiri akan lebih dominan dibandingkan dengan sisi satunya. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari penggunaan tangan, kaki, telinga dan mata. Sisi pengunyahan memiliki pula kecenderungan dominasi pada salah satu sisi selama proses pengunyahan berjalan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat apakah ada hubungan antara lateralisasi hemisfer otak dengan dominasi sisi pengunyahan. Metode: Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah survei analitik dengan mengambil data primer dari 50 mahasiswa Universitas Padjadjaran dengan melakukan tes dominasi sisi pengunyahan dan tes lateralisasi organ tangan, kaki, telinga dan mata. Sisi dominan ditentukan dengan penghitungan menggunakan indeks lateralisasi, hasil penelitian diuji secara statistik dengan uji chi-square dan uji korelasi Phi antara pengunyahan dengan penggunaan organ tangan, kaki, telinga dan mata. Hasil: Uji korelasi chi-square dan Phi menunjukkan bahwa hubungan antara dominasi sisi mastikasi dengan lateralisasi tangan (p>0,05; r=0,175), kaki (p>0,05; r = 0,250), telinga (p>0,05; r=0,250) dan mata (p>0,05; r=0,055) semuanya lemah dan tidak signifikan. Simpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan antara lateralisasi hemisfer otak dengan dominasi sisi pengunyahan.Kata kunci: Dominasi sisi pengunyahan, lateralisasi hemisfer otak, indeks lateralisasi. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Lateralization of the brain hemisphere has an impact on organ lateralization, a natural phenomenon in which the use of one side of the organ with symmetrical components will be more dominant than the other side. This condition can be seen from the use of hands, feet, ears, and eyes. The side of mastication also tends to be more dominant on one side during the mastication process. This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between brain hemisphere lateralization and the masticatory side dominance. Methods: This research was an analytical survey by collecting primary data from 50 students of Universitas Padjadjaran by conducting a mastication dominance test and lateralization of hands, feet, ears, and eyes. The dominant side was determined by calculating using the lateralization index; the results were then statistically tested with the chi-square and the Phi correlation test between mastication and the use of hands, feet, ears, and eyes. Results: The chi-square and Phi correlation test results showed that the relationship between mastication side dominance with lateralization of hands were p > 0.05, r = 0.175; legs were p > 0.05, r = 0.250); ears were p > 0.05, r = 0.250; and eyes were p > 0.05, r = 0.055; all showed a weak and insignificant correlation. Conclusion: There is no relationship between the brain hemisphere lateralization and the masticatory side dominance.Keywords: Masticatory side dominance, cerebral hemisphere lateralization, lateralization index.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Root canal filling is an important part of root canal treatment that aimed to seal the root canal system, to prevent bacterial penetration and their toxins into periradicular tissues and to provide favourable environment for periapical healing. Thermoplasticized technique were developed to produce filling with homogenous mass, to achieve optimal sealing ability and to increase the quality of root canal filling. The aim of this study is to analyzed differences of Micro-Computed Tomography (Micro-CT) evaluation of the obturation sealing capability between thermoplastic carrier-based condensing techniques and lateral heat condensation techniques. Methods: This study was conducted under an in-vitro quasi experimental methode to 36 specimens of maxillaris centralis incisivus which were divided to 3 groups, (A) thermoplasticized carrier-based technique (GuttaCore System), (B) warm lateral condensation technique (heat carrier SystemB), (C) cold lateral condensation as control group. Sealing ability is evaluated based on the measurement results of volume percentages of filling material and sealer, volume of void, and surface density, that which was calculated from the 3D volumetric image of Micro-CT device. Data were statistically analysed using Analisis of Variance (ANOVA) and t-test. Result: The result showed significant difference of percentage filling material and sealer volume in apical third (p<0.05), whereas there were no significant differences of void volume in apical third, middle third, coronal third or along the canal (p>0.05). Conclusion: Thermoplastized carrier-based technique is not better than warm lateral technique.Keywords: sealing ability; root canal filling; thermoplasticized carrier-based technique; warm lateral technique.

Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory disease which is generally caused by plaque accumulation. Many studies have shown that Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) is the main etiological agent that contributes to chronic periodontitis. Scaling and root planing (SRP) is the gold standard for periodontitis treatment. The use of antibiotics as additional agents accompanying the SRP procedure has limitations that can cause resistance to subgingival periodontal pathogens. Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth i.e betel leaf is a natural ingredient that contains anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. This study aimed to analyze the inhibition of Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth  extract against Pg bacteria. Methods: The type of study used was an experimental laboratory with a Post-Test Control Group Design research design which was divided into 6 treatment groups using the disk diffusion method with concentrations of Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth extract 25, 50, 75 and 100%, sterile aquades as a negative control and Chlorhexidine as a positive control. Data analyses of One Way Anova and Post Hoc Tukey were used Results: Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth extract concentrations of 25, 50, 75, and 100% had an  effect on reducing the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis (p≤0,05), the average inhibition response was 14.40 mm at 25% concentration, 16.58 mm at 50% concentration and 19.30 mm at 75%, 21.88 mm at 100% concentration.Conclusion: Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth extract has an antibacterial effect against Porphyromonas gingivalis which has the potential to be used as a periodontitis herb.Keywords: Betel leaf extract Peperomia pellucida (L.)

Abstract

Introduction: Saliva is a complex biological fluid secreted by the body and has components that act as biomarkers indicating various health conditions. Recent studies have shown inconsistencies between the glycemic index (GI) and components in saliva, especially insulin and cortisol. This study aims to map the relationship between glycemic index diets (high and low) and salivary insulin and cortisol levels. Method: This scoping review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines, with searches conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases from 2012 to 2023. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR) framework was used for study identification and article writing. Results: Nine articles met the inclusion criteria, and data were extracted from each article. This scoping review involved 282 healthy individuals (141 males and 141 females) aged 9–55 years, with only one study focused on the pediatric population. One study examined cortisol and insulin levels together; while the remaining eight studies investigated them separately. Conclusions: This review highlights a complex interplay between GI diets and salivary biomarkers, particularly insulin and cortisol. While high-GI diets may influence salivary insulin, their impact on cortisol appears less consistent. These findings suggest that salivary biomarkers could serve as non-invasive tools for monitoring dietary impacts on metabolic and stress-related health. Further research is needed to address limitations such as population diversity, dietary standardization, and confounding factors to enhance clinical and dietary applications.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the significant public health issues in this modern time is the rapidly escalating elderly popula-tion. The number of people older than 65 years will double to 14% of the world’s population in the next 30 years. Due to various chronic conditions as well as prescription medications, it is presumed that more than 30% of the population aged 65 years and older is experiencing xerostomia, a condition not well known among the elderly. This study was not focusing on the disease per se but aimed to evaluate the awareness of the condition. Methods: The method of this study was descriptive with the survey method. Questionnaires were given to a sample gathered consecutively in the period of one month. The results were then presented in table form. Results: Out of the 63 respondents, 15.9% were considered to have full awareness of this condition. 44.4% of respondents were in the moderate awareness category, and 39.7% were not aware of the disease. Conclusion: Majority of the elderly have a moderate level of awareness towards xerostomia.
