Abstract

Kesehatan gigi dan mulut merupakan bagian penting dari kesehatan secara keseluruhan, namun sering kali kurang mendapat perhatian, khususnya pada kelompok lanjut usia (lansia). Gigi dan mulut memiliki peran krusial dalam proses pencernaan dan pemenuhan kebutuhan nutrisi, yang berkontribusi terhadap kesehatan serta kualitas hidup lansia. Seiring bertambahnya usia, risiko lansia mengalami kekurangan gizi semakin meningkat. Masalah ini berkaitan erat dengan penurunan fungsi biologis tubuh. Asupan makanan yang tidak seimbang dapat memperburuk kondisi kesehatan gigi, mulut, dan kesehatan umum lansia yang secara alami telah mengalami penurunan. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan lansia di Banjar Kebonkuri Tengah, Kesiman, Denpasar mengenai pentingnya gizi dalam menjaga kesehatan gigi dan mulut. Metode yang diterapkan dalam kegiatan ini adalah penyuluhan tatap muka yang didukung dengan peragaan poster bergambar terkait gizi dan kesehatan gigi-mulut pada lansia. Sebelum penyuluhan, peserta diberikan pretest, dan setelah kegiatan selesai, dilakukan postest. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan peserta, ditunjukkan melalui peningkatan jumlah jawaban benar pada postest. Hasil pretest menunjukkan hanya 10,5% peserta lansia yang mampu menjawab pertanyaan dengan benar. Setelah penyuluhan dilaksanakan, hasil postest menunjukkan bahwa 100% peserta dapat menjawab semua pertanyaan dengan benar. Hal ini mencerminkan peningkatan sebesar 89,5% yang menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan PkM ini berhasil meningkatkan pemahaman lansia mengenai pentingnya gizi untuk menjaga kesehatan gigi dan mulut.

Abstract

Root canal treatment (RCT) is an important procedure in dental conservation to preserve teeth that have undergone pulp infection or damage. This literature review examines the latest developments in RCT techniques, focusing on publications from the last five years. A systematic literature search was conducted using electronic databases with relevant keywords. The results show rapid advances in rotary instruments, minimally invasive preparation techniques, irrigation systems, obturation materials, and re-generative approaches. Imaging technologies such as CBCT and operating microscopes also contribute significantly to improving treatment success. It was concluded that the latest techniques in RCT have improved the efficiency, accuracy, and success rate of treatment, although long-term research is still needed to comprehensively validate the effectiveness.

The leading cause of global morbidity and mortality is chronic disease, which is related to lifestyle. Since the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, WHO has strongly appealed, especially for developing countries, for therapy to return to using natural ingredients. For example, through a focus on healthy lifestyle practices and regular consumption of adaptogenic herbs. Of all the herbs used, Holy Basil (Tulsi) is the most superior, and scientific research now confirms its beneficial effects. Tulsi leaves have been proven to be able to overcome physical, chemical, metabolic and psychological stress. This research aims to determine the nutraceuticals of Tulsi leaves in treating oral and chronic diseases.  This research uses the Systematic Literature Review method, with 6 steps, namely (1) formulating questions (based on theory); (2) Conduct searches (on Scopus, Google Scholar, EBSCO, ProQuest, and Science Direct), which published articles from 2015 to 2025; (3) Determine relevant research; (4) Determine articles that come from diverse backgrounds; (5) Data extraction from individual studies; (6) Synthesis of results using narrative methods. The results of this research are the nutraceutical synergy of Tulsi leaves was proven to be superior in protecting organs and tissues against chemical stress from industrial pollutants and heavy metals, as well as physical stress due to prolonged physical activity, ischemia, physical restraint, and exposure to excessive cold and noise. The nutraceutical synergy of Tulsi leaves has also been proven to combat metabolic stress through normalization of blood glucose, blood pressure and lipid levels (protecting the heart organ), and psychological stress through positive effects on memory and cognitive function as well as through anxiolytic, antidepressant and anticancer properties. The synergy of Tulsi's broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity is superior, including activity against various human pathogens, including pathogens that cause various oral chronic diseases (caries and periodontics). The conclusion of this research is the nutraceutical synergy of Tulsi leaves is very good in treating oral chronic diseases (oral cancer, caries and periodontics), and chronic diseases (cancer, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and stroke), and is superior among other herbs.
