Abstract

The spread of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia has increased over time. The government urges people to take extra measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and maintaining dental and oral health is one of those measures that could help to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. People are taught personal dental and oral health practices as well as the necessary health protocols if they decide to visit a dental health facility. The purpose of this activity is to increase participant’s knowledge of the transmission of COVID-19 and how to maintain their dental and oral health. The method used involved measuring the level of knowledge before and after counseling. Furthermore, online counseling and training were provided through Zoom. The pre and post-test results from 88 participants showed that there was a significant increase in knowledge after counseling.

Abstract

β-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is a widely used bioceramic material. In dentistry, it is commonly used as bone graft material. β-TCP is osteoconductive, bioresorbable, bioactive, and has biocompatibility properties. This study aims to evaluate the optimum molarity of CaO and H3PO4 to synthesize β-TCP from a natural source (Perna viridis linn). This is laboratory experimental research conducted by reacting calcium compounds from green mussel shells and phosphoric acid using the dissolution precipitation method with variations in molarity ratio. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) were used to identify the characteristics of β-TCP synthesized from green mussel shells. The XRD chart pattern showed the formation of peaks identical to the β-TCP (Sigma-Aldrich). However, formation of whitlockite phase was also seen in the results. FTIR results showed that phosphate, hydroxyl, and carbonyl groups were shown on the graph and could be identified as β-TCP. SEM characterization showed that the sample consisted of small particles irregularly shaped to form like aggregates. β-TCP synthesized using molarity ratio of 0.6M CaO: 0.4M H3PO4 had characteristics resembling β-TCP (Sigma-Aldrich).

Abstract

Dental trauma is often found in children of growing age due to poor psychomotor coordination, making them prone to falls. This can cause damage to the teeth and their supporting tissues, which can interfere with mastication, speech, aesthetics and the eruption of permanent teeth. The management of dental trauma in children is still poorly understood by parents and teachers, therefore an approach is needed regarding the first treatment of trauma to primary teeth. The choice of Community Service target at Kepodang preschool was due to a request from the school principal as the community leader. Education and training activities were carried out on Monday, March 4th 2024 for a total of 22 teachers and parents. The aim of this activity is to increase knowledge, motivate changes in attitudes and behavior in maintaining oral health, and provide learning about first care for trauma in primary teeth. An initial assessment of knowledge and attitudes regarding first care for trauma in primary teeth was carried out through administering a pre-test with multiple choice questions. The material given includes dental and oral health problems, prevention methods, as well as first treatment for trauma in primary teeth by using the power point text, discussion, and a simulation of how to brush teeth with songs. Evaluation was carried out through a post test with multiple choice questions. Evaluation of the post test results shows that there was an increase in test score. The results of this activity recommend continuing this training activity in kindergartens or other elementary schools, especially for teachers and parents
