Abstract

Besakih Village, located in Rendang District, Karangasem Regency, Bali, is a culturally rich village known for Besakih Temple, the largest and holiest temple in Bali, which also serves as a major tourist attraction. However, observations reveal that the community still lacks adequate oral health awareness. The level of knowledge about dental diseases such as cavities and periodontal disease remains low, increasing the risk of oral health problems. To address this issue, a Social Service program was held in 2025 focusing on oral health care in Besakih Village. This program provided free dental treatments including scaling, cavity fillings, and tooth extractions. In addition to treatment, oral health education was conducted, covering dental anatomy, cavity care, and prevention of periodontal disease. Informational pamphlets on oral hygiene maintenance were distributed to the community. The program targeted children and the general population to improve knowledge and awareness of oral health maintenance. It is expected that through this Social Service activity, the oral health quality of Besakih Village residents will significantly improve.

Abstract

Nilon termoplastik merupakan basis gigi tiruan yang banyak diminati oleh para dokter gigi karena memiliki beberapa keuntungan dibandingkan bahan akrilik. Streptococcus mutans merupakan salah satu bakteri yang dapat menyebabkan terbentuknya plak gigi dan halitosis. Buah bit (Beta vulgaris L.) merupakan bahan alami sebagai anti-inflamasi yang mengandung senyawa fenol, flavonoid, saponin, tanin, dan betalain. Melalui penelitian ini diketahui efektivitas ekstrak buah bit pada pengguna gigi tiruan nilon termoplastik terhadap pertumbuhan S.mutans. Penelitian experimental laboratoris menggunakan Fittydent® sebagai kontrol positif dan akuades steril sebagai kontrol negatif. Berdasarkan uji one-way Anova, tidak tampak perbedaan yang signifikan diantara ekstrak buat bit 10% dan 40% (p>0,05). Perendaman plat nilon termoplastik dalam ekstrak buah bit 10% dan 40% memberikan pengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan bakteri S.mutans. Hal ini disebabkan sifat nilon termoplastik yang mudah menyerap air dan senyawa fenol yang terkandung pada ekstrak buah bit secara difusi. Disimpulkan bahwa ekstrak buah bit memiliki efektivitas dalam menghambat pertumbuhan S.mutans pada plat nilon termoplastik.
