Abstract

Education about dental health as early as possible is given to children, especially preschool children, namely PAUD children. PAUD children are a period of learning while playing. Educational activities for PAUD children are provided by the Preventive Promotive Clinic of the Dental Health Department of the Semarang Ministry of Health Poltekkes in the form of dental clinic educational tours. The purpose of this community service is to change the dental health behavior of PAUD children through several dental health education media.The target of community service is 61 Banyumanik Semarang PAUD children, namely Lentera Bunda PAUD, Mutiara PAUD and Pelangi PAUD. Children's age is children aged 3-6 years. This service to PAUD children includes dental health education activities, brushing teeth together and getting to know the dental clinic environment. The education media for the 3 PAUD are divided into 3 types, namely comic media, animated film media and interactive software media. The output of the activity is measured by evaluating the level of children's dental hygiene, knowledge and actions of children and the results of accompanying parents regarding the maintenance of children's dental health.The results of the activity show that all counseling media provide good change/impact for improving the maintenance of children's dental health. Comic education media tends to have a higher impact than animated film media and interactive software. This can be seen from the various aspects studied with the tendency for the greatest increase in the target of comic media intervention. Parental assistance books for maintaining dental and oral health also have a good impact on improving children's behavior. With parental assistance, children will get used to and get used to maintaining dental health.

Abstract

Teeth undergoing root canal treatment are at higher fracture risk due to changes in dentin’s mechanical properties from irrigation solutions, leading to erosion and reduced fracture resistance. This study evaluates the effects of various final irrigation solutions and techniques on fracture resistance in treated teeth. An experimental study used 24 mandibular premolars, divided into six groups, each treated with one of two irrigation solutions (17% EDTA or 0.2% chitosan nanoparticles) and one of three irrigation techniques (manual, sonic, ultrasonic). Fracture resistance was measured with a Universal Testing Machine, and results analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Post-Hoc LSD tests. Findings indicated both irrigation solution type and technique significantly affected fracture resistance (p0.05). The group treated with Chitosan Nanoparticles using manual agitation showed the highest fracture resistance, while the EDTA Ultrasonic group showed the lowest. These results highlight the importance of selecting irrigation solutions and techniques to enhance fracture resistance in root canal-treated teeth, with chitosan nanoparticles and manual techniques showing the best outcomes.

Abstract

Sensitive teeth are a general term to denote hypersensitive dentine, which is a painful sensation that occurs in the exposed dentin/root of the tooth due to external stimuli such as heat, cold, and acid, especially in areas where the periodontal lining is missing. Hypersensitive dentin is correlated with abrasion when brushing teeth, periodontal disease, erosion from food or acid, and possibly increased scaling and gum recession. The results of the examination of the community in Nibong Village, North Aceh District, in early 2025 showed that out of 84 samples, 36 people were found to have sensitive teeth. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that cause tooth sensitivity in the community. This type of research is a case study by conducting descriptive analysis. This study shows 36 people; there are 9 people who have  periodontal disease status  who are still healthy,  besides  experiencing complaints  of aching  or sensitive teeth as many as 30 people, there are shallow pockets (80.6%), assessment based on the division of the square of only 12 healthy conditions, the rest 82 have periodontal disease. In the examination of gingival recession of 21 people (53.3%), some thinning of the tooth enamel layer, gingival recession of 21 people (58.3%), thinning enamel conditions, and as many as 24 people (66.7%) are at risk of gingival recession. It can be concluded that the main cause of tooth sensitivity in the community is the habit of applying excessive pressure when weeding.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major concern in clinical health education settings due to its airborne transmission risk. This study aimed to analyze the risk of TB transmission and evaluate the implementation of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) by students during preventive dentistry procedures in the JKG Care Service Laboratory at Poltekkes Semarang. Using a descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 60 students through structured questionnaires and direct observation. The results showed that 73% of students demonstrated moderate IPC behavior, and 67% of the laboratory conditions were rated as moderately compliant with standards. Bivariate analysis revealed no significant relationship between student IPC behavior and laboratory conditions (p = 0.885), but there was a significant relationship between IPC behavior and the implementation of preventive dentistry procedures (p = 0.012). These findings indicate that student compliance with IPC is more influenced by procedural application than environmental factors. Strengthening IPC training and supervision during clinical practice is crucial to minimize TB transmission risk in dental health education settings.

Abstract

Periodontitis continues to be a debilitating problem when improperly treated. This condition is associated with certain periodontopathological bacteria, including Porphyromonas gingivalis. Chlorhexidine, while proven effective against bacteria in the oral cavity, carries unwanted side effects. Curcuma domestica and Moringa oleifera are domestic herbs that possess several therapeutic effects. This study aims to investigate the antibacterial effect of the combined two herbs in extract gel. This experimental study used three combination formulas of C. domestica: M. oleifera (0.1%:2%, 0.5%:4%, 0.9%:6%) as the test group and chlorhexidine as the positive control group. The antibacterial inhibition disc method was used to determine the antibacterial activity in each group. The statistical analysis was carried out with Kruskal-Wallis and continued with the Mann-Whitney test. In this study, extract gel combination of Curcuma domestica and Moringa oleifera at concentrations of (0.1%:2%; 0.5%:4%; 0.9%:6%) can inhibit the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis with average inhibition zone diameters of 12.50 mm, 14.49 mm and 16.66 mm, respectively. The inhibition zone falls in the strong category. The control group showed a mean inhibition zone of 20.96, which is classified as a very strong inhibition zone. Although there was a significant p-value between the test and control groups, the results suggested the potential of the extract gel as an alternative for treating periodontitis with lesser side effects.

Abstract

Self-medication is an act of self-treatment performed by the community to overcome toothache. Many people who suffer from toothache choose to self-medicate with pain killers or herbal medicines. The phenomenon of self-medication arose because people felt that self-medication was an easier and more practical option than going to the dentist. The aim of the study was to determine the factors that influence the self-medication behaviour of patients with toothache in the community. The research method used was descriptive observational with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was the community of Batudaa district, and the sample was taken through accidental sampling method using questioner by google form. The results showed that majority of the respondents (91.66%) had practiced self-medication, 33.97% of them used chemical drugs while 41.02% combined chemical and herbal drugs. Mefenamic acid was the most commonly purchased analgesic from the pharmacy (33.97%), while saline solution was the most commonly used herbal medicine (42.94%). The main reason for self-medication by respondents was convenience and practicality (33.33%), followed by experience of recovery with the same medicine (30.76%), and several other reasons were given by respondents. This study found that personal knowledge and previous experience by themselves or peers significantly influenced the choice of medication, including easier, quicker and can be done by themselves, save cost, time and can return to activities immediately. The conclusion of this study emphasises that self-medication behaviour is influenced by convenience and practicality factors, with recommendations for the community to increase knowledge about the use of analgesics and to consult medical personnel before initiating any medication regimen and symptoms do not improve.

Abstract

Pediatric cancer patients are particularly vulnerable to oral health complications, primarily due to the adverse effects of chemotherapy. This treatment significantly influences both oral health and nutritional status, especially in children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Chemotherapy can trigger a range of oral issues, including mucositis, dry mouth (xerostomia), and oral infections, which in turn can hinder proper nutritional intake and compromise overall health. This paper aims to investigate the impact of chemotherapy on oral health and nutrition in pediatric cancer patients, focusing on those with ALL. Through a literature review, the study examines the prevalence and types of oral complications and their effects on well-being. Relevant literature published between 2014 and 2024 was sourced from databases such as EBSCO, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, ProQuest, and Scopus. Using the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes) framework, articles were selected and critically appraised by two independent reviewers. A descriptive method was employed to analyze the data. Out of 2,465 initially identified articles, eight were selected for in-depth analysis. The findings show that pediatric cancer patients face both immediate and long-term oral health issues, including dental abnormalities and jaw development problems. These complications can cause pain, eating difficulties, and social stigma, negatively affecting the child's quality of life. The study emphasizes the need for early oral health intervention, better training for healthcare providers, and the development of standardized oral care protocols. Future research should aim to assess the effectiveness of targeted oral health interventions in improving nutrition and overall quality of life in pediatric oncology patients.

Abstract

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the periodontal tissues caused by periodontal pathogens, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). P. gingivalis possesses several virulence factors that enable it to invade and spread through the bloodstream to other organs, including the ovaries. It triggers inflammation, which may impact the number of primordial follicles. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of P. gingivalis infection on the number of primordial follicles in the ovaries. This study was a laboratory experiment with a post-test control group design. The rats were divided into control and periodontitis groups. The periodontitis group consisted of rats induced with P. gingivalis in their sulcus gingiva of the first mandible molar every three days for 19 days. Therefore, control groups were without P. gingivalis induction. Seven days after the last induction of P. gingivalis, the rats were euthanized, and their ovarian tissues were collected for histological preparation. The primordial follicles were counted under 400x magnification. The results indicated that the treatment group had a significantly lower number of primordial follicles (2.2 ± 2.61) compared to the control group (12.4 ± 2.41). The study concludes that P. gingivalis infection led to a reduction in the number of ovarian primordial follicles in periodontitis models.
