Abstract

The tooth enamel colour play an important role in esthetics. The discoloured teeth could be due to the using of boild Piper betle extract as a mouth wash. Up to now many people in Indonesia using the boiling Piper betle extract to manage oral diseases and to prevent tooth decay. The aim of this in vitro study are to know the effective concentration and application time of this agent to change the enamel colour. Fresh Piper betle leaves were processed to get 4 differents concentration (50, 33, 25, and 5%). Aquabidest was used as negative control. Every concentration was studyed using 2 maxillae premolar teeth in 24, 48, and 72 hours application times. 30 good condition teeth were used in this research. The results showed that every concentration gaves discoloured changes. The optimal concentration and duration are 25% and 48 hours. It is concluded that using of this gargling agent must be intermittent. It can be suggested to use this agent only once or twice daily, each for 2 until 3 minutes gargling.

Abstract

As current technology cannot cure cancer completely, prevention becomes the main choice. To prevent the development of cell transformation into cancer cells, polyphenols that are widely found in cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao) can be used. IFNγ plays an important role in immunity against cancer. This study aims to see the ability of cocoa beans ethanol extract to increase the number of IFNγ expression in Balb/c mice undergoing cell transformation. This study used three groups Balb/c (n=4), namely K1 (normal control), K2 (negative control: injected with benzopyrene without ethanol extract of cocoa beans), and K3 (treatment: injected with benzopyrene, given 4mg/30gBW/po/day ethanol extract of cocoa beans). The mice were biopsied, and IFNγ expression was examined by immune histochemical method. The results showed that IFNγ expression increased significantly in K3. It can be concluded that ethanol extract of cocoa beans could increase IFNγ expression in Balb/c mice undergoing cell transformation.

Abstract

Periodontitis is one of most common oral disease. Chronic periodontitis is characterised by gingival inflamation, periodontal pocket, lost of attachment, and alveolar bone loss. Smoking is a risk factor of periodontal disease that has direct effect to periodontal tissue. Smoking prevalence in Indonesia during 2013 was about 56,7% among men and about 1,9% among women. Smoking modifies the periodontal microbial challenge and host cytokine levels. Some studies showed that smoker has greater alveolar bone loss than non-smoker, and teeth that have the greatest alveolar bone loss are incisor and followed by molar. The aim of this study is to know the upper incisor and upper molar alveolar bone loss differences between smoker and non-smoker patient with chronic periodontitis. The study’s samples are 92 chronic periodontitis statuses and 200 periapical radiographs that selected by purposive sampling techinque. This study will measure the distance between cementoenamel junction to alveolar bone crest, cementoenamel junction to tooth apex, and alveolar bone loss percentage at upper incisor and upper molar. To compare the differences upper incisor and upper molar alveolar bone loss at patient with chronic periodontitis between smoker and non-smoker will be analyzed by independent t test and Mann-Whitney U test. The result showed that smoker has greater alveolar bone loss than non-smoker. There is no significant differences at upper incisor alveolar bone loss and there is significant differences at upper molar alveolar bone loss between smoker and non-smoker patient with chronic periodontitis.

Abstract

The alveolar process is the most supporting tooth containing trabeculae and has the highest metabolic rate in the mandibular body of post-menopausal women. The decreasing in estrogens level on post-menopausal women results a faster reaction than men for 2-3 times. This research aims to determine the bone quality based on trabeculae alveolar process analysis using panoramic radiographs. The research methodology was to conduct 67 samples of panoramic radiographs from RSGM Unpad. This research applied observational analytic methodology by taking cross-sectional data using secondary data on three groups of bone quality based on measurement using DEXA t-score (normal, osteopenia and osteoporosis). The panoramic radiograph data processing was conducted with Image J software by separating the background and foreground (trabeculae). A focus of 30x30 mm ROI in the alveolar distal portion of the left and right mandibular second premolar teeth, and calculation of trabecular area. Result: average of normal trabecular area: 82.35%, osteopenia: 73.9% and osteoporosis: 68.7% respectively. The difference between normal and osteoporosis was discovered, but no difference was found between normal and osteopenia with p <0.05. This research concludes that the region of interest trabecular of alveolar process with panoramic radiograph can be used to detect osteoporosis on post-menopausal women.

Abstract

Immersion and spraying with disinfectant solution are the effective disinfection methods for alginate impression. However these methods causes dimensional changes on impression. Therefore mouthwash, which also has disinfectant function on microorganism can be used as mixing solution for alginate impression material. The aim of this study is to analyze antibacterial capacity of mouthwashes that used as admix solution for alginate impression. Samples was made from alginate impression material in tablet form with 15 mm diameter and 1 mm thickness. Total samples are 35 , 5 for admix with aquadest as control, chlorhexidine 0.1%, povidon iodine, sodium fluoride 0.1% wv, respectively. Samples were put on incubated Staphylococcus aureus in petri dish and kept in incubator for 24 hours at 37°C. Immersion was performed by dipping 15 samples of hygedent admix with aquadest into mouthwash liquids for 15 minutes. Inhibition zone was measured by using digital calliper. Statistic analysis was performed by using ANOVA one way and unpaired t-test. The admix with chlorhexidine 0.1% show the inhibition zone by 8.09 mm, povidon iodine 0.52 mm, and sodium fluoride 0.1% wv 2.91 mm. By using immersion method they show 7.63 mm inhibition zone for chlorhexidine 0.1%, 1.51 mm for povidon iodine, and 0.91 mm for sodium fluoride 0.1% wv. There are insignificant differences between admix and immerse with chlorhexidine 0.1% solution (p= 0.25). It can be concluded that chlorhexidine mouthwash 0.1% has the equal antibacterial capacity when used for admix solution nor immerse the alginate impression.

Abstract

Gingivitis is a inflamatory mild form of periodontal disease in gingiva. The early stage of gingivitis characterized by the accumulation of plaque, leukocytes, and PMN. Noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) is known to have anti-inflammatory compositions which also affects the activity of leukocytes during inflammation. The research objective was to analyze the clinical effects of mouthwash that contains extracts of noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) on leukocyte levels in the saliva in patients with gingivitis, in order to obtain traditional mouthwash that is economical, readily available, and effective in reducing gingivitis and can be used by the public. Extracts of noni fruit (Morinda citrifolia L.) is given in the form of mouthwashes used for 7 days in a row. Observations conducted on three groups of respondents: group 1 using mouthwash placebo, group 2 using mouthwash noni fruit extract 5%, and group 3 using chlorhexidine 0.1%. The use of mouthwash done in the morning and at night before bed as much as 15 ml for 30 seconds. The results showed a decrease in the number of leukocytes in the group treated with placebo cyst, 5% noni fruit extract, and chlorhexidine 0.1% (p <0.05). Both test preparations equally decreased the number of leukocytes in gingival sulcus in gingivitis patients.

Abstract

Materials for the denture base are generally made of heat cured acrylic resin. A dentist is obligated to give instructions about how to use and clean the dentures. One of the natural cleaning solution that can be used is rosella flower’s extract (Hibiscuss sabdariffa). The purpose of this research is to know the influence of rosella flower’s extract against the amount of Candida albicans. The design of this study is experimental laboratoris. The sample is made of heat cured acrylic resin with sizes 10x10x1 mm, 30 pieces divided into 5 groups of treatment with each of the sample test. Each test sample soaked in klorheksidin and rosella flower’s extract concentration 30%, 40%, 50%, and aquades for 15 minutes. The amount of Candida albicans on each specimen is calculated using one-way ANOVA to see the influence of soaking and LSD to see which treatments have a significant difference between groups. Plate test and rosella flower’s extract sterilized by autoclave 121 ° C for 1 hour and then put in saliva for 1 hour so that the test plate in accordance with the state of the oral cavity and rinsed with Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) for 2 times. Plate test later in contamination with Candida albicans by means of a tube inserted into erlenmeyer containing a suspension of Candida albicans, then incubated for 24 hours at 37 ° C. After 24 hours, the test plates are removed from the test tube and rinsed with PBS 2 times. Test plates were divided into five groups. Test results indicate that there is a difference of LSD influence between soaking with a rosella flower’s extract concentration 30% compared to 50% p = 0.0001 (p < 0.05) and there is a difference between rosella flower’s extracts concentration of 40% compared to 50% p = 0.0001 (p < 0.05). The result of this study concluded that soaking denture base heat cured acrylic resin with rosella flower’s extract concentration 50% have the same influence on klorheksidin in inhibiting the amount of Candida albicans.

Abstract

Periodontitis is multifactorial inflamation process and related to disproportion of cytokine. IL-10 is a dominant noninflammatory cytokines that related to gene polymorphism. Polymorphism G-1082A IL-10 genes has been reported to increase the risk of periodontitis occurs in Italian populations, apart from different result found in Brazilian. The purpose of this research was to determine the polymorphism G-1082A IL-10 in periodontitis patients in Indonesia, especially among Yogyakarta’s Javanese. This is a case-control research with subjects according to the inclusion criteria. DNA was taken by cotton swab from the epithelial cells of buccal mucosa, and was isolated using a PrestoTM (GeneAid) kit. Genotyping analysis by using the PCR RFLP technique and descriptive results were presented. The result showed that A allele frequency is 100% and no G allele was found. AA genotype in case group has lower frequency than in control group and vice versa. From this research, it was concluded that A allele was dominant in Yogyakarta’s Javanese, and AA genotype frequency is lower in individual with periodontitis.
