Abstract

Background: The weakness of Ca(OH)2 is its low compressive strength and mechanical properties which can affect the stability of the material to the liquid in the tooth root canal so that it can dissolve the root canal medicament material. Due to the various weaknesses of Ca(OH)2, the researchers are interested in combining Ca(OH)2 with natural ingredients extracted from Musa acuminata (Mauli Banana) stem. Musa acuminata stem extract  (MaSE) contains bioactive compounds such as tannins, saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids and lycopene which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-viral properties. One of the requirements for pulp capping material is to have sufficient compressive strength, therefore, it is necessary to conduct research to test the value of the compressive strength of the combination of Ca(OH)2 with Musa acuminata stem extract. Purpose: To analyze the compressive strength of the pulp capping material from the combination of calcium hydroxide and Musa acuminata stem extract, with a ratio of 1:1; 1:1.5 ; and 1.5:1. Method: This research is a pure experimental study with a posttest-only design with a control group design, consisting of 4 treatment groups, including: group 1 the combination of Ca(OH)2 with Musa acuminata stem extract at 1:1, group 2 1:1.5, group 3 1.5:1, and group 4 as a positive control. Results: One Way Anova test (p<0.05) which means there is a significant difference. Data analysis was continued with the LSD Post Hoc test (p<0.05) which showed that there were significant differences between groups, between each treatment group. Conclusion: The combination of Ca(OH)2 with 50% MaSE and PG ratio of 1.5 : 1 : 0.375, has the highest compressive strength (1.40 MPa), so it can be concluded that the more Musa acuminata stem extract in the combination, the lower the compressive strength. Keywords : Calcium hydroxide, Compressive strength, Musa acuminata stem extract

Abstract

Dental and oral health problems in deaf children are higher compared to other normal children. Based on statistical data from the Indonesian Ministry of National Education, the number of deaf children in Indonesia is quite high, reaching 0.17%. This shows that 17 children out of 10,000 preschool children up to the age of 12 years have hearing loss and speech limitations. This community service activity aims to improve the dental and oral health behavior of deaf children at SLB Negeri 2 Banjarmasin City using pop-up image media. The method used in this community service activity is to carry out promotive activities in the form of teacher training as educators for dental and oral health counseling using pop-up image media and health promotion using pop-up image media. Preventive activities carried out include conducting dental and oral health screenings and carrying out fissure sealant and atraumatic restorative treatment treatments based on the screening results. Evaluation of community service activities is carried out by measuring the results of the pretest and posttest of student knowledge and analyzing the provision of preventive actions for students at SLB Negeri 2 Banjarmasin City. The results of this community service show a difference in knowledge before and after health promotion interventions were given, as well as an increase in students' dental and oral health after preventive measures in the form of pit and fissure sealants and atraumatic restorative treatment. The use of educational media for children with disabilities, especially deaf children, is effective in increasing knowledge of dental and oral health so that it can improve the quality of life for deaf children

Abstract

Background: The quality of life among drug users has become an increasingly important public health issue. One of the factors suspected to contribute to this is poor oral hygiene, which may result from reduced saliva production due to long-term use of psychotropic substances. This condition warrants special attention, particularly in Banjarbaru City, which has the highest rate of drug abuse in South Kalimantan Province, with a proportion of 26.64%. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between drug users' quality of life and their dental and oral hygiene. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted on a representative sample of drug users undergoing rehabilitation. A total of 38 respondents were selected using a simple random sampling method. Data on dental and oral hygiene were collected using the Oral Hygiene Index Simplified, while quality of life was measured using the OHIP-14 questionnaire. The data were then analyzed using appropriate statistical methods to determine the correlation between the variables.   Results: Dental and oral hygiene for drug abusers have an average score of 3.38 and an average quality of life score of 21.25. Poor oral hygiene is associated with poor quality of life in drug abusers (r = 0.572, p-value <0.000). Regression analysis showed that poor oral hygiene was a predictor of poor quality of life (β: 3.936; R2: 0.328; p <0.000). Conclusion: This study emphasizes how crucial it is to practice proper dental hygiene in order to improve drug users' quality of life.

Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia is a country rich in ethnic diversity. Each tribe has characteristics that differ from other tribes. One of these differences lies in height, which is composed of long bones. The growth of long bones is the result of the ossification of cartilage located at the distal end. One of the long bones found in the craniofacial area is the mandible. The lateral cephalometric X-ray photos with Steiner analysis reveal the mandible's significant role in determining the type of skeletal malocclusion. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between height and skeletal malocclusion type using Steiner analysis in the Banjar ethnic group. Methods: This research is a correlational analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 62 Banjar students aged 15–18 years, selected using the purposive sampling technique. Height was measured using a microtoise and converted into a Height-for-Age Z-score (HAZ) based on WHO standards. Skeletal relationships were determined through Steiner analysis on lateral cephalometry using the SNA, SNB, and ANB angular parameters. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test and Spearman's correlation test with a significance level of α=0.05. Results: Most samples had below-normal height, above-normal SNA, normal SNB, and above-normal ANB. The results of the Spearman's correlation analysis showed a significance value of 0.446. Conclusion: Most subjects had heights categorized as below normal based on the WHO Height-for-Age Z-score (HAZ), and the most common skeletal pattern found was Class II skeletal malocclusion with a tendency toward maxillary protrusion and mandibular position still within normal limits according to the SNA and SNB parameters. The results of the Spearman correlation test showed a significance value of 0.446 (p > 0.05), so it can be concluded that there is no statistically significant relationship between height and the type of skeletal malocclusion in Banjar adolescents aged 15–18 years. Height cannot be used as an indicator to predict the type of skeletal malocclusion in the study population. Keywords: Steiner analysis, lateral cephalometry, Banjar tribe, body height, skeletal malocclusion type.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Papuyu fish is widely consumed by Kalimantan people. Papuyu fish scales chitosan has antibacterial potential because it contains amino polysaccharides and enzyme lysozyme which inhibits the growth of root canal bacteria, specifically Enterococcus faecalis. Purpose: The purpose of this experimental is to analyze the antibacterial activity of papuyu fish (Anabas testudineus) scales chitosan against Enterococcus faecalis. Methods: This is a true experimental study with post-test only with a control group design using 15 samples of papuyu fish (Anabas testudineus) scales chitosan grouped into 5 treatment groups and 3 samples repetitions. The treatment groups consisted of papuyu fish (Anabas testudineus) scales chitosan concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, and distilled water (negative control). Absorbance calculation using a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer 722 for minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and Enterococcus faecalis colonies are visualized with a colony counter for minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). Results: The MIC value of papuyu fish (Anabas testudineus) scales chitosan were obtained at 25% concentration and the MBC value were obtained at 100% concentration. The results of One-Way ANOVA test for MIC and Kruskal Wallis for MBC of papuyu fish scales chitosan concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% obtained significant results of p<0,05 and showed a significant difference between treatments. Conclusion: These are differences in the effectiveness of MIC and MBC papuyu fish (Anabas testudineus) scales chitosan concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% and distilled water. Papuyu fish scales chitosan 100% concentration is the most effective concentration as an antibacterial against the growth of Enterococcus faecalis.

Abstract

Background: Knowledge is the basis for the formation of behavior. Limited access to information for inmates causes their knowledge of dental and oral health to decrease. The 2022 Annual Report of the Directorate General of Corrections recorded that 6,312 people were diagnosed with dental disease and were included in one of the five diseases that are often experienced by prisoners. Dental and oral diseases have a high ranking suffered by inmates, which is one of the indicators that the dental and oral hygiene of prisoners is not maintained. Objective: This study aims to know the relationship between oral health maintenance knowledge and oral hygiene in class IIA Banjarmasin prison inmates. Method: This study uses an observational analytical method with a cross sectional research design. The measurement of knowledge variables used a dental and oral health maintenance knowledge questionnaire, while the measurement of dental and oral hygiene used the Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHI-S). Result: The results of the somers'D test produced data with a significance value of 0.001 (ρ<0.05). The correlation coefficient value in the study was obtained at -0.463, indicating the relationship between the two moderate and negative variables, so that it has a reciprocal relationship. Conclusion: There is a relationship between oral health maintenance knowledge and oral hygiene among inmates (WBP) in class IIA Prison Banjarmasin  Keyword: knowledge, oral hygiene, inmates.
