Abstract

Pendahuluan: Early childhood caries (ECC) sering terjadi pada anak di Indonesia. Lesi karies pada permukaan gigi sulung yang terjadi pada anak usia 2 sampai 3 tahun disebut ECC karena mengonsumsi makanan dan minuman kariogenik. Tujuan penelitian mengetahui ECC pada balita usia 2-5 tahun yang mengonsumsi air susu ibu (ASI) dan susu formula. Metode: Jenis penelitian observasional deskriptif cross-sectional. Populasi penelitian sebanyak 50 balita usia 2-5 tahun. Teknik pengambilan sampel total sampling. Pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner dan wawancara. Data dianalisis menggunakan software Microsoft Excel®. Hasil: ECC dialami balita 2-5 tahun sebanyak 58% dari total reponden. ECC pada usia 2-3 tahun lebih banyak dialami oleh laki laki dan sebaliknya pada usia 4-5 tahun. Balita usia 2-5 tahun sebanyak 34% mengonsumsi susu formula. Lamanya balita mengonsumsi ASI 0-2 tahun sebanyak 84,8% dan susu formula sebanyak 82,4%. Frekuensi mengonsumsi ASI 7-8 kali sehari sebanyak 73% dan konsumsi susu formula 3-4 kali sehari sebanyak 35,3%. Waktu balita mengonsumsi ASI pada pagi, siang, dan malam hari sebanyak 100% dan mengonsumsi susu formula pada waktu tersebut sebanyak 82%.

Persentase lamanya mengkonsumsi ASI dan formula hampir sama selama 2 tahun. Persentase frekuensi mengonsumsi ASI dan waktu mengonsumi ASI pada pagi, siang dan malam lebih banyak daripada formula serta persentase melakukan pembersihan rongga mulut dan rerata indeks dmf-t hampir sama.Kata kunci: early childhood caries; air susu ibu; susu formula ABSTRACTIntroduction: Early childhood caries (ECC) often occur in Indonesia’s children. Carious lesions on the surface of primary teeth that occur in children aged 2 to 3 years are called ECC because they consume cariogenic foods and beverages. The purpose of the study was to determine ECC in children aged 2-5 years with consumption of breast milk and baby formula. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional observational study was conducted on the population of 50 children aged 2-5 years. The sampling technique was total sampling, and data was collected using questionnaires and interviews. Data were analysed using Microsoft Excel® software. Results: ECC experienced by children aged 2-5 years were 58% of the total respondents. At the age of 2-3 years, ECC was more experienced by male children and vice versa at 4-5 years. 34% of children aged 2-5 years consume baby formula. 84.8% of the children consumed breast milk for 0-2 years, and 82.4% consumed baby formula. The frequency of breast milk consumption 7-8 times a day was 73%, and the frequency of baby formula consumption of 3-4 times a day was 35.3%. All children (100%) consumed breast milk in the morning, afternoon, and evening, while only 82% of children consumed baby formula in the same consumption time. Oral cleansing was performed by 54.5% of children with breast milk consumption and 53% of children with baby formula consumption. The dmf-t index of children with breast milk and baby formula consumption were 5.3 and 5.4, respectively. Conclusions: The percentage of ECC in children aged 2-5 years with breast milk consumption was higher than children with baby formula consumption. The duration of breast milk and baby formula consumption is almost similar for two years. The frequency and time of consumption in the morning, afternoon, and evening is found more in children with breast milk consumption than baby formula. In comparison, the percentage of oral cleansing and the mean of the dmf-t index was almost similar in both consumption groups.Keywords: early childhood caries; breast milk; baby formula

Abstract

Caries tissue cleaning can use Chemo-Mechanical Caries Removal (CMCR) based on proteolytic enzymes that catalyze peptide bonds into simpler compounds. Proteolytic enzymes can be found in mature pineapple bromelain enzymes. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of gel-based bromelain enzyme with concentrations of 8%, 10% and 12% against the width of the intertubulus dentin. The bromelain enzyme is extracted using the Lowry method. Then purified using 80% ethanol and diluting become to concentrations of 8%, 10% and 12%. Diluted bromelain enzymes were formed in gel preparations based on HPMC and applied to the study sample. The results of this study indicated a widening of the intertubulus dentin. This is indicated by the variation of the dentin intertubulus width > 2µm. This widening occurs because the bromelain enzyme can hydrolyze collagen in intertubulus dentin in the absence of alpha-l-antitrypsin. Hydrolysis causes the breaking of hydrogen bonds in the triple helix- shaped tropocollagen to turn into strands of polypeptide chains. The bromelain enzyme with a concentration 10% is more effective than 8% and 12% because it is within the maximum speed limit of the enzyme so that the enzyme is saturated by its substrate and there is a difference in specific enzyme activity in each concentration.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Metode pembersihan karies menggunakan handpiece dan bur terbukti masih memiliki banyak kekurangan menyangkut kecemasan dan rasa takut terutama pada anak-anak. Chemo-mechanical caries removal (CMCR) berbasis enzim protease merupakan metode alternatif dalam mengatasi kekurangan dari metode sebelumnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis perbandingan efektivitas pemberian gel enzim bromelain konsentrasi 10% dan pemberian enzim papain selama 2 menit terhadap degradasi jaringan karies, bahwa diharapkan gel enzim bromelain dapat menjadi pertimbangan sebagai alternatif bahan CMCR. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental laboratoris dalam desain pre-test and post-test control group, dengan aplikasi gel bromelain konsentrasi 10% pada kelompok B dan enzim papain (BRIX3000®)pada kelompok P, pada sampel gigi premolar permanen rahang atas dengan karies dentin kelas I G.V. Black selama 2 menit, dengan kelompok K sebagai kontrol. Hasil: Hasil didapatkan berupa gambaran scanning electron microscope (SEM) dari permukaan jaringan karies akibat aplikasi kedua gel enzim protease. Rata-rata kedalaman degradasi jaringan karies dentin pada kelompok kontrol, kelompok enzim bromelain konsentrasi 10%, dan kelompok enzim papain berurutan 28,25 µm, 42,08 µm, dan 40,82 µm. Berdasarkan uji statistik perbedaan antara dua kelompok, kelompok perlakuan enzim protease memiliki perbedaan terhadap kelompok kontrol dengan nilai Sig.(2-tailed) kurang dari 0,05, sedangkan antara kelompok enzim bromelain dan kelompok enzim papain dengan nilai 0,856, yang berarti keduanya tidak berbeda secara signifikan. Simpulan: Aplikasi enzim bromelain ekstrak buah nanas konsentrasi 10% dalam penelitian ini memiliki efektivitas yang setara dengan aplikasi enzim papain (BRIX3000®) selama 2 menit dalam menghasilkan degradasi jaringan karies pada dentin, sehingga bisa menjadi alternatif bahan CMCR.Kata kunci: enzim bromelain konsentrasi 10%; enzim papain; Chemo-mechanical Caries Removal (CMCR); degradasi jaringan karies dentin; scanning electron microscope ABSTRACTIntroduction: The caries removal method using a handpiece and bur is proven to have many shortcomings regarding anxiety and fear, especially in children. Chemo-mechanical caries removal (CMCR) based on protease enzymes is an alternative method to overcome the shortcomings of the previous method. The purpose of this study was to analyse the effectiveness of 10% concentration of bromelain and papain enzyme application for 2 minutes on the caries tissue degradation. It is hoped that bromelain enzyme gel can be considered as an alternative CMCR material. Methods: This research was a laboratory experimental study in pre-test and post-test control group design, with application of 10% bromelain gel in group B and papain enzyme (BRIX3000®) in group P, on samples of maxillary permanent premolars with dentinal caries class I G.V. Black for 2 minutes, with group K as control. Results: The results were obtained in the form of a scanning electron microscope image of the carious tissue surface due to the application of the two protease enzyme gels. The average depth of dentin caries degradation in the control group, the 10% bromelain enzyme group, and the papain enzyme group were 28.25 µm, 42.08 µm, and 40.82 µm. Based on the statistical test of the difference between the two groups, the protease enzyme treatment groups had a significant difference compared to the control group with a Sig. (2-tailed) value of less than 0.05, while between the bromelain enzyme group and the papain enzyme group had a value of 0.856, which means the two were not different significantly. Conclusion: The application of the 10% concentration of bromelain enzyme in pineapple extract for 2 minutes in this study had an effectiveness equivalent to the application of the papain enzyme (BRIX3000® product) for 2 minutes in producing the degradation of carious tissue in dentin, so it could be an alternative material for CMCR.Keywords: 10% concentration of bromelain enzyme; papain enzyme; Chemo-mechanical Caries Removal (CMCR); dentin caries tissue degradation, scanning electron microscope

Abstract

Dental caries is a multifactorial condition affected by behavioral factors. Parenting styles reflect different behavior influenced by cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Coastal areas have unique cultural and socioeconomic conditions and underlie the community's upbringing behavior. This study aims to determine the differences in preschool children's caries experience based on parenting patterns in a coastal area. This study is a cross-sectional study on children and their parents in the coastal area of Puger, Jember, East Java, Indonesia. The participants were 269 pairs of preschool children and parents selected by random cluster sampling. The dependent variable was dental caries experience measured using the def-t index. The independent variable was the type of parenting categorized into three groups (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive) based on a questionnaire distributed to parents. The Kruskal-Wallis test was applied to determine the difference in caries rates in each parenting style (p≤ 0.05). The results showed that the prevalence of primary teeth caries was 97%, and the mean of def-t was 10.03. Authoritative parenting style was the majority (81.8%), and no statistically significant difference was found between caries and parenting style (p=0.473). However, the mean of def-t in the authoritarian group was higher than in others (10.42). Based on the result, it can be concluded that mean of dental caries among children in a coastal area with authoritarian parents was the highest one compared to others, but the difference was statistically insignificant.

Abstract

Insufficient dietary intake in school-age children can result in a weakened immune system, leading to susceptibility to illness. Children will easily be exposed to infectious diseases such as angular cheilitis. Jember has a large population of farmers, categorized as a low-paid occupation. The type of food consumed will affect each person's nutritional status. This study aims to identify the relationship between nutritional status and food intake with the prevalence of angular cheilitis in children grades I–III SDN 7 Nogosari in the agro-industrial setting of Jember. Analytical observation with a cross-sectional design was employed with 58 students as samples, whose nutritional health was assessed using the BMI/U index, visual examination angular cheilitis, and 24-hour recall method of food intake. The SPSS test was undertaken to investigate how variations in macronutrient and micronutrient consumption affect angular cheilitis in each nutritional status. Micronutrient intake that affected angular cheilitis had exceeded the RDA. Furthermore, the SPSS test showed no difference in the consumption of macronutrients and micronutrients in each nutritional status, supporting the occurrence of angular cheilitis at a rate of 0%. In the agro-industrial setting of Kebun Renteng, Jember Regency, students at SD Negeri 7 Nogosari grades I - III had a good nutritional profile with zero percent of angular cheilitis prevalence. It was impossible to determine the association between dietary status and the prevalence of angular cheilitis.
