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

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.

Abstract

The dental arch consists of teeth that develop on the jawbone. The shape and size of the dental arch are important components in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. This study is to determine if there is a relationship between gender and the length and width of the dental arch in children aged 7 to 9 years. This research is an observational study using a cross-sectional design. The sample included 72 subjects for the study, consisting of girls and boys ages 7, 8, and 9, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The dental arch width was measured at the inter-canines and inter-molars by digital sliding calipers. Anterior and posterior size of dental arch length measured from the midpoint between the right and left permanent central incisors perpendicular to the inter-canines and inter-molars. The Independent Sample t-Test results showed no significant differences in any parameters at the age of 7 years. However, at 8 years, a significant difference was observed in the intermolars of the mandible, while at 9 years, a significant difference was found in the intercanines width of the mandible between males and females. These findings indicate developmental variations in mandibular growth based on gender.

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

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

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

The evaluation of the "SIMPUS" software in Semarang City is motivated by the existence of a dental medical record information system within the “SIMPUS” application. However, some menus are not yet aligned with the required standards. In addition, there is a new discourse on the use of dental data as a means of human identification in disaster events. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the implementation of a standardized dental medical record information system, as well as to establish and test a system capable of supporting decision-making in human identification. This research employed a quantitative descriptive method to evaluate the use of the “SIMPUS” software in Semarang City. Data collection was carried out through interviews and observations. The research subjects were dental therapists and dentists at community health centers (puskesmas) within the jurisdiction of the Semarang City Health Office. Data were analyzed using a quantitative descriptive approach. The results showed that the “SIMPUS” software in Semarang City is user-friendly as a Dental Medical Record Information System, although some codes occasionally do not appear. The system is comprehensive, and the data output matches the input provided. However, the feature for human identification using dental charts is not yet available, and there is no display of individual baseline data related to odontogram codes. The “SIMPUS” software in Semarang City is accepted by users as a Dental Medical Record Information System that meets national dental record standards. It can be used by community health centers to manage patient registration data, medical records, and generate monthly disease reports (LB1) and dental treatment reports. However, patient search features based on odontogram codes are not yet available, and further research is needed.

Abstract

Deciduous tooth eruption is a fundamental physiological milestone in toddler growth that indicates the maturation of the stomatognathic system. This study aimed to analyze the sociodemographic determinants of parents—specifically education, occupation, income, and health insurance ownership—on the eruption of deciduous teeth in toddlers. This analytical observational research employed a crosssectional design involving 167 toddlers in Pedurungan Tengah Subdistrict, selected via simple random sampling. Data were collected through intraoral examinations and validated questionnaires, then analyzed using the Chi-square test (p<0.05). The research findings revealed that the majority of toddlers had normal eruption patterns, yet statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between father’s education (p=0.554), mother’s education (p=0.284), father’s occupation (p=0.578), mother’s occupation (p=0.220), parental income (p=0.900), or National Health Insurance (JKN) ownership (p=0.091) with tooth eruption status. In conclusion, parental sociodemographic factors are not direct determinants of deciduous tooth eruption in this population, suggesting that biological factors or specific nutritional intake may play a more dominant role than social status. These results imply that dental health promotion should target all socioeconomic layers equally, focusing on nutritional quality rather than economic capacity.
