Abstract

With a balanced pH, saliva protects the surface of the teeth from damage, inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and sup-ports the natural remineralisation process in tooth enamel. The quality of water used on a daily basis plays an important role in overall health, including dental and oral health. Different types of water have unique characteristics, including pH or acidity le-vels, which can affect oral health and surrounding tissues. Based on this background, this study aims to provide further insight into the pH condition of saliva in non-smokers, particularly in the male farming community in Senajam Hamlet who use swamp water for their daily needs, thereby revealing the effect of the habit of using swamp water, which has an acidic concentra-tion, on oral health. The results showed that 58% of the study participants had acidic values, 10.5% had alkaline values, and 31.5% had normal values. It was concluded that long-term use of acidic swamp water contributes to a decrease in saliva pH.

Abstract

Introduction: Traumatic ulcers are common oral mucosal lesions caused by mechanical injury. In diabetes, wound healing is delayed due to impaired immune responses, including macrophage dysfunction. Moringa oleifera leaves contain flavonoids, tannins, phenols, and saponins that have anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. This study evaluated the effect of Moringa oleifera extract gel on macrophage cell counts during traumatic ulcer healing in diabetic male Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: This experimental study used a post-test-only control group design with 32 male Wistar rats. Diabetes was induced using streptozotocin (STZ). Traumatic ulcers were created on the labial mucosa using a burnisher. Rats were divided into four treatment groups (P1–P4) receiving Moringa oleifera extract gel and four control groups (K1–K4) receiving 3% Na-CMC gel. Observations were conducted on days 3, 5, 7, and 9. Gel was applied three times daily. Tissue samples were processed histologically, stained with hematoxylin-eosin, and examined for macrophage counts. Results: Mean macrophage counts in treatment groups were P1=11.45, P2=10.15, P3=12.33, and P4=10.28, while control groups were K1=5.65, K2=6.70, K3=7.65, and K4=10.25. One-Way ANOVA showed significant differences among groups (p=0.021). Tukey Post Hoc analysis revealed a significant difference between P3 and K1 (p=0.037). Pearson correlation showed a significant negative correlation (r=-0.357; p=0.045). Conclusion: Moringa oleifera extract gel significantly affected macrophage cell counts during traumatic ulcer healing in diabetic male Wistar rats.
