Abstract

Root canal treatment aims to remove vital and non-vital pulp tissue from the root canal. The smear layer consists of residual of RCT containing organic and inorganic matter from the root canal. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA 17%) is used as an irrigant to remove the smear layer, but it is toxic to periapi-cal tissues. One natural irrigant that is safe for periapical tissues is the extract of star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.), which contains active compounds such as sapo-nins, flavonoids, and tannins that have potential to remove smear layer. This article reports on the potential of BBW ethanol extract as a smear layer cleaner. This laboratory experimental study, employing a post-test only control design, involved 24 single-rooted teeth divided into 4 treatment groups with 6 replicates. Assessment was performed using confocal laser scanning microscopy based on the Hulsmann scoring system, followed by statistical analysis. Based on the Mann-Whitney test, the comparison between the treatment groups (17% EDTA) and the 35% extract showed a p-value of 0.269, indicating no significant dif-ference. It was concluded that the 35% ethanol extract of belimbing wuluh fruit is effective in removing the smear layer and has potential as a natural root ca-nal irrigation agent.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Postoperative pain is a common problem experienced by patients after surgery and can impact their recovery. One non-pharmacological method that can be used to reduce pain is deep breathing relaxation therapy. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of deep breathing relaxation therapy on reducing post- operative pain in patients in the recovery room. This research uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design through the one-way method. group pretest-posttest The research sample consisted of 30 postoperative patients selected using purposive sampling techniques. Pain levels were measured before and after deep breathing relaxation therapy using a numeric scale . Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Paired T- test . The results of the study showed a decrease in the average pain level after deep breathing relaxation therapy. The average pain score before the intervention was 6.73 and after the intervention decreased to 3.87. The statistical test results showed a p value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of deep breathing relaxation therapy on reducing pain in postoperative patients . post- operative pain levels in patients in the recovery room. This therapy can be used as a non-pharmacological nursing intervention to help improve patient comfort.
