Abstract

Periodontitis is one of the primary causes of tooth mobility, pain, and irreversible inflammation in the supporting tissues of the teeth. Comprehensive management of periodontitis cases with tooth unsteadiness often involves splinting therapy before progressing to advanced treatment phases. However, this condition facilitates the formation of plaque in the oral cavity, which is one of the causes of halitosis and impact quality of life related to oral health. This study aimed to determine the relationship between oral health-related quality of life and halitosis in patients undergoing splinting therapy.This research employed an analytic study with cross sectional design. Data were collected using the OHIP-14 questionnaire from 31 periodontitis patients who had received splinting therapy, followed by a halitosis examination. The data were analyzed using Spearman's correlation test. This study revealed that 25 people (80.6%) had a good quality of life, 5 people (16.1%) had a moderate quality of life, and 1 person (3.2%) had a poor quality of life. The condition of halitosis was found in 13 subjects who were associated with oral-health related quality of life in patients undergoing splinting therapy with a p-value of 0.05. It can be concluded that statistically there is no relationship between oral-health related quality of life and halitosis in patients receiving splinting therapy.

Abstract

Background: Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the tissues that support the teeth, triggered by bacterial plaque, which leads to the ongoing and gradual destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Gingival recession and periodontal pockets are characteristics of clinical features. The disparity in the interaction between bacteria and the host's immune response can inhibit fibroblast proliferation, resulting in periodontal tissue damage. Important phytochemical components found in curry leaves (Murraya koenigii) include flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, and saponins. Flavonoids and saponins effectively inhibit the growth of bacterial colonies in periodontal pockets.Objective: The research aims to assess the effect of curry leaf extract gel on the level of fibroblast cells in periodontitis.Methods: A posttest-only control group design was used in the experimental laboratory. Subjects were categorized into 3 categories: a treatment group (10% curry leaf extract), a positive control (metronidazole), and a negative control (aquades). The number of fibroblast cells was statistically assessed with the one-way ANOVA method and the LSD post-hoc test.Outcome: The results showed a significant difference in the number of fibroblast cells stimulated by periodontitis in each group.Conclusion: There was significant variance in fibroblast count between the groups.
