Abstract

An oral fluid called saliva contributes to the preservation of oral homeostasis. Both the major and minor salivary glands create saliva. Meanwhile, the practice of not eating or drinking is known as fasting. While fasting, saliva production is quite low, resulting from low stimulation to salivary glands. Salivary production, in fact, can be stimulated by mechanical stimuli, one of which is by reciting the Qur'an. Reciting the Qur'an with makhorijul huroof means reciting Qur'anic verses according to where the sound of the hijaiyah letters comes out. The resulting movement can stimulate the salivary glands and increase saliva production. The study, therefore, aims to determine the effect of reciting the Qur'an with makhraj on the volume and pH of saliva during fasting in Institut Ilmu Kesehatan Bhakti Wiyata Kediri students. This study employed a true experimental method with a pre-test-post-test control group design. The results data were analyzed and interpreted to test the hypothesis using the independent t-test with the variable data scale being ratio. The results revealed the significance value of the independent t-test on the difference between the pre-test and post-test data on volume and pH of the experimental group of 0.000 Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed). The p-value <0.05 indicates that there was a significant effect. This study concludes that reciting the Qur'an with makhraj can increase the volume and pH of saliva during fasting.

Abstract

Traumatic ulcer is open wound caused by injury to the oral mucosa. Fibronectin, a multifunctional glycoprotein, has been reported to play a crucial role in early wound healing by promoting fibroblast migration. Several studies have shown that Manalagi apple (Malus sylvestris Mill.) contains bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and wound healing properties. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of Manalagi apple extract gel on fibronectin expression in traumatic ulcer healing. This was a laboratory experimental study with a post-test only control group design. A total of 10 rats (Rattus norvegicus) were randomly divided into a placebo gel control group and a treatment group receiving 10% Manalagi apple extract gel. Fibronectin expression was then evaluated using immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, and analyzed with the Mann–Whitney test. The results showed a significant difference in fibronectin expression between the treatment and control groups (p = 0.007). The application of 10% Manalagi apple extract gel significantly increased fibronectin expression during traumatic ulcer healing.
