Abstract

Objective: To assess the caries risk factors of preschool aged children. Methods: Data was collected from a sample of 85 preschool children and their mothers. An interview, and a clinical and microbiology assessment was included in this study. Clinical examinations were performed to measure the dental caries experience and plaque visibility of the children and mothers. The presence and levels of Mutans Streptococci (MS) in the saliva was measured using a commercial kit by Dentocult SM and evaluated using the manufacturer’s chart. Results: Sixty-five children had a high risk of caries (76.5%), 12.9% had a low risk, and 10.6% had a moderate risk of caries. Active cavities were found in more than half of the mothers and children. The majority of the child subjects had a snacking habit between meals (85.9%). High risk scores of 2 and 3, indicating salivary levels of MS, was found in 41.1% of children. Fluoride exposure experienced by the study population was very limited. Conclusion: Results suggest that the majority of the population had a high caries risk. There was a high occurrence of teeth with cavities in children and active carious lesions in the mothers. There was a high frequency in snacking habits, the presence of plaque and bleeding gums, high levels of salivary MS, and low protective factors for the children. Results suggest that management of caries related factors are needed in order to prevent caries in the future.

Abstract

Prevention of cardiovascular diseases by controlling risk factors at an early stage is very important. Objective: To determine the relationship between periodontal conditions with serum lipids among the elderly. Methods: Total of 78 participants (56 males and 32 females) who were in the age range of 60-76 years were selected for the current study. A logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between periodontal conditions and serum lipid profile. Periodontal conditions was recorded as the maximum score of pocket depth (PD) and loss of attachment (LoA) score which presented in the participants, while levels of total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides (TG) were measured for the serum lipids profile. Age, gender, BMI, high blood pressure, pattern of dental visit, hypertension and cholesterol medication, number of teeth, PD, and LoA were included in the model as independent variable. TC, HDL, LDL, and TG were used as dependent variables. Results: According to the results of the logistic regression analysis, loss of attachment >6 mm was associated with TC (p<0.01; 5.295(1.710-16.391) and LDL (p<0.05; 2.87(1.118-7.405), while PD had no association with serum lipids (p>0.05). Conclusion: This study indicates that subjects with greater loss of attachment significantly associated with higher levels of serum TC and LDL. This may suggest that elderly people with greater loss of attachment are potentially at risk of having serum lipid impairment.

Abstract

Populasi lanjut usia merupakan fenomena global yang menjadi tren paling signifikan saat ini dan telah terjadi di semua negara dengan berbagai tingkat perkembangan, termasuk Indonesia. Penyakit periodontal merupakan salah satu permasalahan kesehatan oral yang utama di masyarakat dan keparahannya meningkat seiring dengan bertambahnya usia. Penyakit periodontal memiliki dampak yang signifikan terhadap kualitas hidup lanjut usia dan merefleksikan permasalahan kesehatan masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkajipengaruh karakteristik sosio-demografi terhadap kondisi jaringan periodontal pada penduduk usia lanjut di Yogyakarta. Penelitian dengan desain potong lintang ini melibatkan 108 responden (n = 108) berusia ≥ 60 tahun. Karakteristik sosio-demografi yang diteliti pada penelitian ini meliputi jenis kelamin, tingkat pendidikan, dan karakteristik wilayah tempat tinggal. Kondisi jaringan periodontal dinilai berdasarkan status perdarahan (bleeding on probing), tingkat kedalaman poket periodontal (pocket depth), dan kehilangan perlekatan jaringan periodontal (clinical attachment loss). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pendidikan dankarakteristik wilayah tempat tinggal berpengaruh terhadap status perdarahan (p = 0,001, p = 0,015) dan rerata kedalaman poket (p = 0,005, p = 0,027), namun tidak berpengaruh terhadap rerata kehilangan perlekatan jaringan periodontal (CAL) (p = 0,148, p = 0,105). Pada penelitian ini, jenis kelamin tidak memiliki pengaruh terhadap kondisi jaringan periodontal, baik pada status perdarahan (BOP) (p = 0,399), rerata kedalaman poket (PD) (p = 0,365), maupun rerata kehilangan perlekatan jaringan periodontal (CAL) (p = 0,179). Tingkat pendidikan dan karakteristik wilayah tempat tinggal berpengaruh terhadap kondisi jaringan periodontal (BOPdan PD) pada populasi lanjut usia, sehingga aspek tersebut perlu dipertimbangkan dalam perencanaan intervensi pencegahan penyakit periodontal pada lanjut usia.

Abstract

Background: The aging population is growing faster in several countries around the world, including Indonesia. Oral health literacy as a personal-behavioral component has been studied and is regarded an important determinant of health as well as a causative factor for oral health disorders, which are subsequently thought to have an impact on oral health-related quality of life. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between oral health literacy and oral health status among elderly in Yogyakarta. Method: This cross-sectional study included 193 respondents aged ?60 years in Yogyakarta City. The data collection was done using interviewer-administered questionnaires (socio-demography data, health history, health behavior, and oral health literacy) and clinical examination. The Modified Gingival Index is used to determine gingival health status during a clinical examination of the oral cavity. Result: The results of this study indicated that there was a significant relationship between oral health literacy and Modified Gingival Index (p=0.01). Understanding participants' oral health literacy levels was critical for developing successful health education materials and intervention programs that enhance oral health. Conclusion: Elderly people with higher oral health literacy have better oral health outcomes.
