Abstract

Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria and microaerophilic bacteria found in the subgingival area are the cause of chronic periodonti-tis. The main bacteria causing chronic periodontitis is Porphyromonas gingivalis, which is present in 53.8% of cases. Mouthwash is a solution or liquid used to cleanse the mouth of plaque and mouth disease-causing organisms. This study was conducted to compare the inhibitory power of mouthwash containing CHX 0.12% and CPC 0.1% with povidone iodine 1% on P.gingivalis. The well diffusion test was conducted to see the most effective inhibition in inhibiting the growth of these bacteria by measuring the diameter of the inhibition zone of the clear zone formed. It was concluded that there was greater antibacterial inhibition of mouth-wash containing CHX 0.12% and CPC 0.1% than mouthwash containing povidone iodine 1% in inhibiting the growth of P.gingivalis.

Abstract

Currently, natural ingredients are developing to help the wound healing process due to tooth extraction, one of which is red dra-gon fruit skin (RDFS) or Hylocereus polyrhizus which is generally a waste. The RDFS contains tannins, flavonoids and saponins that have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits. This study was conducted to determine the effect of RDFS extract on the number of neutrophils after tooth extraction of Wistar rats. A total of 24 male rats were adapted and grouped into 2 groups (control and treatment), each having 3 subgroups, namely day 1, 3, and 5. The treatment stage in the control group was given 0.5% Na-CMC solution and the treatment group was given 7 mg/g BW of RDFS extract every day in the morning. Subjects were decapita-ted, tissue processed, and stained with HE according to the day group. It was found that the number of neutrophils in the treatment group (260.1667, 106.2778, 75.6667) was lower than the control group (299.4167, 134.8056, 117.4167) on days 1, 3, and 5. It is concluded that RDFS extract can have an effect in reducing the number of neutrophils after tooth extraction in male Wistar rats at a dose of 7 mg/g BW.

Abstract

Periodontal disease is an inflammatory response due to bacterial infection of the supporting tissues of the teeth. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium associated with periodontal disease. An adjunctive therapy to mechanical pe-riodontal therapy is the use of antibiotics, although long-term use can cause some hypersensitivity effects, toxic reactions. Many bacteria are resistant to antibiotics, so in this study Gracilaria extract was chosen as an additional therapy to reduce the effects of resistance to antibiotics. extract as an additional therapy to reduce the effects of such resistance. Gracilaria has carotene con-tent which has very important biological functions as an antioxidant, and immunostimulator that can prevent disease, anti-inflamma-tory, anti-stress, anti-aging, and skin protection from ultraviolet light. ultraviolet rays. Gracilaria also has the ability to capture free radicals. Gracilaria contains antibacterial bioactive compounds, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, and steroids that can inhibit the growth of P.aeruginosa and Staphylococcus. This paper explores the effectiveness of Gracilaria sp in the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract

To determine the description of oral hygiene and knowledge level and the relationship between knowledge level and oral hygie-ne with periodontal status of diabetes mellitus (DM) patients at Lampa Health Centre, Duampanua, Pinrang. Samples were de-termined based on inclusion criteria, namely outpatients diagnosed with type 1 or 2 DM aged ≥8 years, and willing to become re-search subjects. At the initial stage, knowledge about the relationship between DM and oral health was measured using a question-naire. The implementation of activities began with DHE using leaflets and banner stands, plaque control using disclosing agents and initial therapy in the form of scaling root planing in people with DM who experience periodontal disease. Oral hygiene status was assessed using OHI-S and periodontal disease status was assessed using Periodontal Diseases Index. The relationship between knowledge level and OHI-S and periodontal status was analysed using Kolmogorof Smirnof test (p<0.05). Patients with poor GDS/GDP scores had poor OHI-S status and poor periodontal status. All study subjects had problems in their supporting tissues, 50% gingivitis and 50% periodontitis. It is concluded that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge with OHI-S status and periodontal status in DM patients at Puskesmas Lampa, Duampanua, Pinrang.

Abstract

Impaction occurs due to a mismatch between the size and shape of the teeth and the jaw. Generally, teeth that often experience impaction are posterior teeth, although anterior teeth can also experience impaction, but rarely found. This study was intended to determine the prevalence of tooth impaction on radiographs in the Radiology Department of RSGMP Hasanuddin University in 2023. This descriptive observational study used a total sampling design whose population was all panoramic radiographs of pa-tients with impacted teeth from medical report data in 2023. A total of 530 samples had impaction, 390 (73.5%) third molar im-paction, 50 (9.43%) premolar impaction, and 95 (17.93%) canine impaction. It was concluded that the more common impacted tooth in Unhas RSGMP in 2023 was the lower third molar.

Abstract

Flat ridge condition makes difficult to have a retentive complete denture. This complication can be overcome by the use of com-pound impression material because it can produce denture bearing area moulds. This article discusses flat ridge impression using compound in a case of mandibular edentulus. A 60-year-old man came to the RSGM with complaints of difficulty chewing food due to the loss of all upper and lower jaw teeth and a flat ridge on the lower jaw. The patient wanted to make a comfortable denture. In this case, type 1 compound moulding material was used for the initial moulding. This material is reversible and can be modified to obtain more accurate details. The use of compound materials using the mucocompression moulding technique can print the parts of the lower jaw that move for the expansion of the denture well so that a moulding result is obtained that can provide support for making a denture. It is concluded that the use of compound materials in moulding mandibular edentulous flat ridge can produce a stable and retentive complete denture.
