Abstract

Background: Parents’ knowledge and attitude on children oral health will form their childrens’ underlying behaviour which will either support or not their children’s oral health. Objective: To know whether there parents’ level of education and residence (coastal vs urban areas) are related with  their knowledge and attitude regarding the oral health of children age 3-6 years old. Materials and Methods: This research is a cross  sectional study using survey. The samples that were studied were 41 parents of 3-6 years old children in PG/ TK Benih Kasih Surabaya and 41 parents of 3-6 years old children in TK/ PAUD Benih Prima Batam. The method of collecting data is by non-experimental survey. Statistical analysis on the relationship between variable was performed using Spearman Rank Correlation. Results: The research showed that level of education has a positive relationship with knowledge and this relationship goes both ways. Level of education also has positive relationship with attitude and vice versa. On the other hand, residence has insignificant relationship with knowledge. Meanwhile, residence has negative relationship with attitude. Conclusion: The higher the level of education of parents relates to higher level of knowledge and attitude regarding the oral health of children and vice versa. Meanwhile the residence, whether coastal area of Batam or urban area of Surabaya, has no relationship with the knowledge. Parents in urban area of Surabaya, on the other hand, has significant relationship with positive attitude toward children’s oral health, and this relationship goes both ways.

Abstract

Background: The main cause of dental caries is Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), to suppress the growth of cariogenic bacteria can be done by using mouthwash containing antibacterial ingredients such as chlorhexidine. Cyanobacteria spirulina extract contains compounds that have secondary metabolites which act as antibacterial and antioxidant including tannins, flavonoids, saponins and terpenoids. Objective: This study aimed to find out he inhibition of Cyanobacteria spirulina against S. mutans biofilm. Materials and Methods: The research sample consisted of 6 groups. Group K(-) was the S. mutans biofilm with aquadest, K(+) was Chlorhexidine 0.2% and four treatment groups (P1, P2, P3, P4), which were Cyanobacteria spirulina extract with a concentration of 60 , 70, 80 and 90 mg/ml. The sample was applied to a well microtiter plate, then incubated overnight at 37°C for 1 x 24 hours, then painted with 0.1% crystal violet. After that, it was rinsed with sterile distilled water, then given 0.2 mL of Tween 80 concentration of 2% and measured Optical Density with an ELISA Reader with a wavelength of 570 nm, then biofilm inhibition percentage as calculated. Results: The mean value of the percentage of S. mutans biofilm inhibition in group K(+): -131,694(SD 10,758) ; P1: -12,234(SD 2,402) ; P2: 11,076(SD 6,387) ; P3: 19.7020(SD 11,670) ; P4: 40,214(12,057) there were significant differences between P2 and P4 also between P3 and P4. Conclusion: Cyanobacteria spirulina at concentrations of 70, 80 and 90 mg/ml had S. mutans biofilm inhibition, while Chlorhexidine 0.2% and Cyanobacteria spirulina 60 mg/ml did not.
