Abstract

Musculoskeletal diseases and pain (MSDs) is commonly occurred among oral health therapist due to improper working positions. This condition can lead to work-related accidents, lower job satisfaction, and increased healthcare costs. In order to address this issue, ergonomic interventions encompassing cognitive, physical, and organizational aspects have been recommended to prevent the occurrence of MSDs. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of ergonomic interventions, specifically using the "EI" model, in alleviating MSDs among oral health therapists.  The quality assessment related to pain utilized a validated standardized instrument. A purposive sample of 64 oral health therapists, working as dental assistants in Semarang, Indonesia, participated in the study. Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire incorporating the Nordic Body Map to identify the presence of pain. Additionally, a physiotherapist conducted an objective examination, assessing pain levels using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The results of the pain complaints test, as indicated by the Nordic Body Map, revealed a significant p-value of < 0.001, with ∆ mean = 2.19 for the intervention group and 0.91 for the control group. Similarly, the pain level test using the Visual Analog Scale demonstrated a p-value < 0.001, with ∆ mean = 30.38 for the intervention group and 14.91 for the control group. This suggests that the ergonomic model "EI" was significantly effective in reducing complaints of MSDs among oral health therapists.

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%.
