Abstract

Traumatic ulcer is an oral cavity lesion characterized by loss of epithelial lining, reaching the lamina propria. This condition presents a single lesion with irregular borders, surrounded by diffuse erythema, and covered with pseudo-membrane. In specific case, the traumatic ulcer was caused by iatrogenic trauma after basal cell adenoma surgery. This case report aimed to discuss the causes of traumatic ulcer. A 39-year-old female was referred to the Oral Medicine Clinic from the Ear, Nose, and Throat Department, complaining of pain in the oral mucosa after basal cell adenoma surgery. On extraoral examination, the facial symmetry was intact along with dry and exfoliative lips. A solitary, oval, yellowish-white intraoral ulcer covered with pseudomembrane, irregular borders surrounded by diffuse erythema on the palate, left buccal mucosa and upper labial mucosa was present. The patient was diagnosed with traumatic ulcer due to iatrogenic trauma after surgery for basal cell adenoma located within the parotid gland that extended to the left palate. The treatment administered comprised instructions to clean the oral cavity using gauze and a cotton stick soaked in 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate. Additionally, compressing the affected areas with gauze soaked in 0.9% NaCl and applying a thin coating of Vaseline album on the lips were part of the therapeutic measures. Given the iatrogenic nature of traumatic cancer, comprehensive therapy was considered essential to prevent secondary infection and address issues related to speech, appearance, and masticatory functions.

Abstract

This research analyzes healthcare service quality and its impact on inpatient satisfaction among National Health Insurance-Contribution Assistance Recipient (JKN-PBI) participants at Muyang Kute Regional General Hospital, Bener Meriah Regency, Indonesia. Employing a descriptive-analytical survey design with a cross-sectional approach, data was collected from 69 randomly selected JKN-PBI inpatients using questionnaires. The study examined five service quality dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, empathy, and assurance, and their relationship with patient satisfaction. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test revealed that reliability (p=0.003) and assurance (p=0.000) significantly influenced patient satisfaction, while tangibles, responsiveness, and empathy did not show statistically significant relationships (p>0.05). Reliability and assurance, reflecting consistent service delivery and staff competence, were crucial in fostering patient trust and satisfaction. Empathy, though not statistically significant, showed a trend towards positively influencing satisfaction, indicating a need for improvement in patient-centered care. The findings highlight the importance of reliability and assurance in enhancing JKN-PBI patient satisfaction. Recommendations include implementing training programs to improve staff empathy, maintaining high standards in reliability and assurance, and continuous patient feedback monitoring.

Abstract

Consuming soda will lower the pH of saliva due to its acid content. This decrease in pH can affect the balance of the oral cavity. Stimulated saliva will have a better buffering capacity than unstimulated saliva. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of soda consumption on the pH of stimulated and unstimulated saliva. This was a quasi-experimental study with a post-test only comparison group. The study population was 166 male and female students of the Dentistry Department at Prima Indonesia University. The sample size was 68 students, divided into two groups: stimulated and unstimulated saliva. The pH was measured using a digital pH meter. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. The results showed that the average pH after soda consumption in the stimulated saliva group was 8.03 ± 0.129 and in the unstimulated saliva group was 5,32±0,304. The sample group that did not consume carbonated drinks had a mean saliva pH of 6.62±0.455. The Mann-Whitney test revealed a significant difference in pH between stimulated and unstimulated saliva after carbonated drinks (p=0.000; p<0.05). The conclusion is that carbonated drinks affect the pH of both stimulated and unstimulated saliva.
