Abstract

Root canal infection is a polymicrobial infection that is a progression of chronic caries affecting the dental nerve tissue and surrounding root tissue, which can be accompanied by extremely uncomfortable sharp pain. Enterococcus faecalis is one of the infecting agents that can be found in primary root canals experiencing endodontic infections and is resistant to root canal irrigation materials, thus leading to root canal treatment failure. Herbal plants have been used since ancient times by the Indonesian people to address health issues due to the believed beneficial properties of their constituents. Research on torch ginger reports pharmacological activities such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and anti-aging effects. Torch ginger (E. elatior) is a spice plant reported to have antibacterial bioactive compounds. This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract from torch ginger leaves (E. elatior) against Enterococcus faecalis bacteria. The Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value and the streaking method from MIC testing to determine the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) with 8 concentrations and 2 controls. Data analysis of the MIC and MBC values was performed using One-Way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis parametric tests. The ethanol extract of torch ginger leaves (E. elatior) has minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values against Enterococcus faecalis bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the ethanol extract of torch ginger leaves is at a concentration of 3.125%, while the minimum bactericidal concentration is at a concentration of 65%.

Abstract

Rampant caries in toddlers or early childhood caries (ECC) can affect chewing and the ability to eat and drink. The prevalence of caries in the 3-4 year age group in Indonesia in 2018 was 81.5%. A recent World Health Organization (WHO) report stated that dental caries can affect children's growth. Balanced evidence shows that ECC is associated with stunting in children. Rampant caries in primary teeth hurt nutritional status, mediated by caries depth, chronic inflammation, and oral pain. A dental and oral health caries prevention program is needed to prevent stunting. This research aims to develop and test the feasibility of a Tooth Protection Model for Preventing Caries and Stunting in Early Childhood. The research method used is Research and Development/ (RD), consisting of searching for potential problems, collecting data through literature review and FGD, Design Making, Validation of three preventive dentistry experts and three pediatric dentistry experts, Revision and User Feasibility Test for 30 toddler mother. Data analysis uses an Interclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) with a two-way mixed type. The results of expert validation obtained an average score of 75 (decent category with revision), with good inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.750). The results of user trials on 18 mothers of toddlers produced an average score of 90.67 (very feasible category without revision), with an ICC value of 0.860, meaning good reliability. The research conclusion shows that the Tooth Protection Model is worthy of implementation as a comprehensive approach to preventing caries and stunting in toddlers.

Abstract

Dental plaque is a significant factor in developing oral diseases, particularly in children with special needs who may face challenges maintaining oral hygiene. This study explores the potential of a mouthwash formulation incorporating Kerinci cinnamon leaf (Cinnamomum burmanii) and Tangkit pineapple core (Ananas comosus) extracts in preventing dental plaque growth. Both extracts were chosen due to their known antibacterial properties and natural origin, making them suitable for children with sensitivities to synthetic chemicals. The formulation was tested in varying ratios to determine the most effective combination for inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans, a primary bacterium responsible for dental plaque. The results indicated that a 50:50 ratio of cinnamon leaf and pineapple core extracts exhibited the highest antibacterial activity (p-value 0,034), outperforming other ratios such as 75:25 and 25:75. This suggests a synergistic interaction between the two extracts, enhancing their combined efficacy. Further research is recommended to optimize the formulation and evaluate its long-term effectiveness and safety in clinical settings

Abstract

The most prevalent oral mucosal lesion is Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS). SAR can occur due to local trauma, stress, drug use, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, immunological factors, smoking, hereditary and genetic factors, microbial factors, food hypersensitivity, hematinic deficiencies, and human immunodeficiency (HIV) infection. RAS is a prevalent condition that is defined by the presence of round ulcers that appear as recurrent lesions, numerous, small, round, have a yellowish base, and are surrounded by an erythematous halo and can occur in young and adult ages. Specifically, the pandemic caused by COVID-19 has affected people's lives around the world, including senior high school students. The incidence of RAS in adolescents is categorized as high; according to the findings of RISKESDAS, the percentage is 8.7%. Stress is a contributing component to the development of RAS. The objective of this investigation was to ascertain the correlation between stress and the prevalence of RAS during the COVID19 pandemic. This investigation employed a cross-sectional design and was observational analytic. A total of 104 research subjects were included in the study, which was conducted on students at SMA Negeri 6 in Yogyakarta.
