Abstract

Background: Gingival hyperpigmentation can occur in active smokers with high frequency. The current treatment is surgical. Therefore, researchers found a new breakthrough by creating a minimally extensive treatment, namely gel preparations. Combination of turmeric (Curcuma domestica) and moringa leaf (Moringa oleifera) extract that has the potential as a tyrosinase enzyme inhibitor. The extract will be made in a gel preparation. This study aims to determine the most optimal concentration of the gel. Method: This study used an experimental method. The gel preparation was made with various concentrations of turmeric extract and moringa leaf extract, namely F1 0.1%: 2%, F2 0.5%: 4% and F3 0.9%: 6%. Followed by testing the physical and chemical properties. Chemical properties in the form of pH, physical properties in the form of organoleptic, homogeneity, adhesiveness and spreadability by measuring the diameter of TB (No Load), B50 (Load 50 g), B100 (Load 100 g) and B150 (Load 150 g). Results: The results showed that F1, F2 and F3 were homogeneous with dark brown color, distinctive smell of moringa leaves and increasingly dilute form with each additional concentration with pH (F1) 7.99, (F2) 7.71 and (F3) 7.58. The spreadability of gel preparation F1 (TB) 2.7, (B50) 2.8, (B100) 2.9, (B150) 3.1; F2 (TB) 2.8, (B50) 3.1, (B100) 3.3, (B150) 3.5 and F3 (TB) 4.2, (B50) 4.6, (B100) 4.7, (B150) 5.1 based on these observations it is known that F3 meets the criteria for spreadability at a load of 150 gr. Conclusion: Based on this study, it can be concluded that F3 gel, a combination of turmeric extract and moringa leaf extract, has the most optimal formula because it almost meets all the requirements for gel preparations.

Promotional efforts are needed to improve dental and oral health, including among health cadres. Cadres play an important role as an extension of the government in reaching out to the community, acting as facilitators and pioneers in disease prevention, including dental and oral diseases. This community service program aims to increase the knowledge of health cadres in the Sendangmulyo sub-district regarding efforts to prevent infections that can occur during dental and oral care. By involving cadres in in-depth training, it is hoped that more competent and skilled cadres will be created to educate all levels of society. This community service was carried out through counseling and training. The methods used in this community service included lectures, training, simulations, independent practice, and initial (pre-test) and final (post-test) data collection using questionnaires. The participants in this activity were health cadres from the Sendangmulyo sub-district, Semarang City. Descriptive analysis was performed to determine the effect before and after. The community service program for health cadres proved effective in increasing the cadres' knowledge. There was an increase in the health cadres' knowledge about infection prevention efforts through the SIMAK method and the empowerment of health cadres in conducting independent practices for early detection of dental caries, gingivitis, and manifestations of HIV/AIDS in the oral cavity. Empowerment by providing counseling and training to cadres can create more competent cadres who are able to provide dental health education to the community. This can reduce the prevalence of dental and oral diseases and improve the dental health of the community. Keywords: Health Empowerment, Health Cadres, Dental and Oral Health, Infection Control Methods
