Abstract

Abstract: Cassava peel and leaves (Manihot esculenta Crantz) are agro-waste materials rich in secondary metabolites with potential antimicrobial properties. Research exploring their effects against oral pathogens remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial and antifungal activity of cassava peel and leaf extracts against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, and Candida albicans. This was a laboratory and experimental study. Samples of cassava leaves, outer and inner young peel (six months), outer and inner mature peel (10 months) were dried, powdered, and subjected to ethanol maceration. Phytochemical screening assessed flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, quinones, steroids, and triterpenoids. Antimicrobial activity was tested using the microdiffusion well method, and inhibition zones were measured in millimeters. Positive controls were chloramphenicol (for bacteria) and nystatin (for fungi). Negative control was sterile aquadest. The results showed that leaf extract produced inhibition zones of 8.90 mm (S. aureus), 6.00 mm (S. mutans and C. albicans). Peel extracts showed varying activity, with outer young peel (6 months) yielding 7.25 mm (S. aureus), 6 mm (S. mutans and C. albicans)  and inner young peel (6 months) yielding 8.74 mm (S. aureus), 35.27 mm (S. mutans), 6 mm (C. albicans)  while outer mature peel (10 months) yielding 6.13 mm (S. aureus), 6.00 mm (S. mutans and C. albicans) and inner mature peel (10 months) yielding 10.44 mm (S. aureus), 55.36 mm (S. mutans), 6 mm (C. albicans). Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, and saponins in most of cassava peel and leave samples. In conclusion, cassava peel and leaf extracts exhibit antimicrobial activity against major oral pathogens, with inner mature peels (10 months) showing the strongest effect against Streptococcus mutans. These results support their potential use as natural antimicrobial agents in herbal oral care formulations. Keywords: antibacterial; cassava peel; cassava leaves; oral pathogens; phytochemicals

Abstract

Abstract: The low rate of community visits to dental healthcare facilities is a significant public health concern, particularly in areas with high prevalence of dental problems. The gap between the need for treatment and the low utilization of services highlights the existence of problems that must be identified and addressed to ensure optimal access to dental healthcare for the community. This study aimed to identify the factors that hinder community visits to public health centers in accessing dental and oral healthcare services, particularly in areas with low visitation rates such as Desa Maen. This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach, involving 88 respondents selected using the stratified proportional random sampling method. Data were collected using a checklist and analyzed descriptively. The factors hindering community visits to dental and oral healthcare facilities in Desa Maen included healthcare service factors (62.5%), economic factors (54.5%), knowledge-related factors (52.3%), geographical factors (47.7%), transportation factors (28.4%), and the lowest factor being other reasons (17.05%). In conclusion, healthcare service, economic, knowledge, geographical, transportation, and time factors are the main hindrances to community visits to dental and oral healthcare facilities at Desa Maen. Among these, the quality and availability of healthcare services represent the most significant hindrance. Keywords: hindering factors; community visit; dental healthcare facilities   Abstrak: Rendahnya kunjungan masyarakat ke fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan gigi dan mulut menjadi permasalahan kesehatan masyarakat yang penting, terutama di wilayah dengan prevalensi masalah gigi dan mulut yang tinggi. Ketimpangan antara kebutuhan perawatan dan rendahnya pemanfaatan layanan menunjukkan adanya masalah yang perlu diidentifikasi dan diatasi agar masyarakat dapat memperoleh layanan kesehatan gigi yang optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang menghambat kunjungan masyarakat ke puskesmas dalam mendapatkan pelayanan kesehatan gigi dan mulut, terutama daerah dengan angka kunjungan yang rendah seperti Desa Maen. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif dengan desain potong lintang. Responden ialah 88 anggota masyarakat Desa Maen, diambil berdasarkan metode stratified proportional random sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan daftar tilik dan dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan faktor-faktor penghambat kunjungan masyarakat Desa Maen ke fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan gigi dan mulut, yaitu faktor pelayanan kesehatan (62,5%), faktor ekonomi (54,5%), faktor pengetahuan (52,3%), faktor geografis (47,7%), faktor transportasi (28,4%), dan yang paling rendah yakni faktor waktu (17,05%). Simpulan penelitian ini ialah pelayanan kesehatan, ekonomi, pengetahuan, geografis, transportasi, dan waktu merupakan faktor penghambat kunjungan masyarakat Desa Maen ke fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan gigi dan mulut. Pelayanan kesehatan ialah faktor penghambat terbesar kunjungan masyarakat ke fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan gigi dan mulut. Kata kunci: faktor penghambat; kunjungan masyarakat; fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan gigi dan mulut
