Abstract

Oral and dental health is an essential aspect of general health that must be maintained from an early age. This study aims to evaluate the impact of the Training of Trainer (ToT) program on dental and oral health for teachers and parents on changing tooth brushing behavior among students at SDIT Al-Uswah Surabaya. The methods used include surveys, training, evaluations, and observations of a tooth-brushing calendar filled out over 21 days. The results showed an increase in knowledge among teachers and parents, as well as positive changes in students' habits of brushing their teeth twice daily. These results highlight the importance of the role of teachers and parents in supporting dental and oral health promotion for children, which is expected to reduce the risk of dental caries in the future.

Abstract

Background: Jaw fracture is the most common facial fracture in oral and maxillofacial bone and is usually caused by trauma. The fracture itself could lead to infection due to bone and tissue damage, which is the port of entry for microorganisms. Fracture-related infection (FRI) in the patient discussed in this study manifested as a submandibular abscess. The goals of fracture treatment were achieving the anatomic reduction of the fracture line and regaining acceptable occlusion. There are two methods for treating mandibular fractures: the closed method, also called conservative treatment, and the open method, which requires advanced surgery. Closed method treatment uses a maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) device in order to reduce and immobilize fracture fragments. Treatment of FRI should use a multidisciplinary approach to achieve an outstanding result, such as wound debridement, antimicrobial therapy, and implant retention. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to report a case of neglected mandibular fracture with a submandibular abscess, which was treated with a combination of the closed reduction method and incision drainage. Case: A 25-year-old female visited Nala Husada Hospital because of a submandibular abscess on the neglected mandibular fracture of the right parasymphysis and left corpus. Case management: The case was managed using an arch bar in the mandible and an eyelet in the maxilla while continuing with MMF and an extra oral drainage incision. Conclusion: Combination therapy (MMF and incision drainage) was needed to treat this case because of the occurrence of a submandibular abscess due to a neglected mandibular fracture.

Abstract

Background: Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a major pathogenic bacterium that causes periodontitis, with diverse virulence factors and resistance to conventional therapies. Therefore, the search for natural antibacterial agents is important. One potential candidate is Eucheuma spinosum (E. spinosum), which contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity and cytotoxic effects of E. spinosum extract against P. gingivalis and BHK-21 fibroblast cells. Materials and Methods: A true experimental laboratory study was conducted using ethanol extract of E. spinosum at concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, and 50%. Antibacterial activity was assessed by disc diffusion on Mueller-Hinton agar, while cytotoxicity was evaluated by the MTT assay in BHK-21 cells. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney tests. Discussion: The results showed that E. spinosum extract exhibited significant antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis, with inhibition zones increasing in a concentration-dependent manner (10.31, 13.57, and 15.41 mm, respectively), categorized as strong inhibition. However, cytotoxicity testing revealed reduced cell viability across all concentrations (40.49%, 36.58%, and 36.53%), indicating toxic effects in accordance with ISO 10993-5. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences between groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: E. spinosum extract demonstrates promising antibacterial properties against P. gingivalis, but its cytotoxic effects on fibroblast cells limit its direct clinical application. Further research is required to optimize safe concentrations and improve biocompatibility for periodontal therapy.
