Abstract

Healthy behavior can affect the health of everyone's body. Dental and oral health is very important to always pay attention to because it is part of general health. To keep your teeth and mouth healthy, you can always keep your teeth and mouth clean every day. The easiest thing to do is to brush your teeth and wash your hands before eating. Techniques and the correct way of brushing teeth greatly affect dental hygiene. If the oral health is not good, then it requires a dental radiographic examination as a supporting examination to be able to determine the condition of the teeth and the supporting tissues of the teeth as a whole. This activity is based on the need to maintain dental and oral health from an early age, so that good behavior in maintaining health can be accustomed from childhood. In addition, there are still many children in junior high school who are not properly aware of the importance of dental health for general health. This counseling can increase knowledge and provide understanding and awareness about the importance of maintaining personal and oral health by brushing teeth regularly and washing hands properly.

Abstract

Introduction: Panoramic radiography provides a comprehensive view of the jaws and is valuable for assessing mandibular morphology, including the gonial angle. Aim: This study aimed to analyze differences in the gonial angle related to dental status and gender within a Bataknese population. Method: An observational analytical study was conducted from June 2022 to July 2023. A total of 120 panoramic radiographs from Bataknese individuals were collected via purposive sampling at the Dental Radiology Installation of the Dental Hospital, Universitas Sumatera Utara, and the Pramita Medan Clinic Laboratory. The sample comprised 60 dentate subjects (control group) and 60 partially edentulous subjects. The gonial angle was measured on each radiograph. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The mean gonial angle in partially edentulous men was 119.942°, compared to 123.367° in women. In the dentate group, the mean angle was 117.497° for men and 121.335° for women. Women had a larger angle than men in both groups. However, no statistically significant difference was found between genders within the partially edentulous group, or between dentate and partially edentulous subjects when analyzed separately by gender. Conclusion: Partial tooth loss was associated with a larger gonial angle in this Bataknese sample, and angles were consistently greater in women. Gender alone did not show a significant effect within the partially edentulous condition.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Saliva memiliki peran penting dalam menjaga kesehatan rongga mulut yaitu menjaga pH optimal rongga mulut. Penurunan pH saliva yang menyebabkan demineralisasi email.  Tanaman nanas memiliki khasiat bagi rongga mulut, yaitu dapat meningkatkan sekresi saliva dan memiliki enzim bromelain yang banyak didapatkan pada bonggol nanas yang mampu menghambat bakteri sehingga dapat mencegah terjadinya karies. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh berkumur larutan ekstrak bonggol nanas 20% terhadap laju alir, pH dan total protein saliva.Metode: Penelitian eksperimental kuasi dengan rancangan penelitian pretest-posttest design with control group design. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa FKG USU berusia 18-22 tahun. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan purposive sampling dengan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Sampel terbagi menjadi 2 kelompok dan berjumlah 10 subjek pada setiap kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol negatif.Saliva dikumpulkan sebelum dan sesudah berkumur larutan ekstrak bonggol nanas. Laju alir saliva diukur dengan cara menimbang saliva yang terkumpul dibagi per waktu, pH saliva diukur dengan menggunakan pH meter digital, total protein diukur dengan menggunakan PierceTM BCA Protein Assay Kit.Hasil: Penelitian menunjukkan berkumur larutan ekstrak bonggol nanas 20% memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan pada laju alir dan pH saliva (p < 0,05 ), sedangkan total protein memiliki pengaruh yang tidak signifikan.Kesimpulan: Penelitian ini bahwa berkumur larutan ekstrak bonggol nanas memiliki pengaruh yang baik terhadap laju alir dan pH saliva.
