Abstract

In administering fluoride through drinking water there is the risk of overdose, higher cost and inadequate availability of drinking water containing fluoride in developing countries like Indonesia. A safe fluoride source is contained in toothpaste. The purpose of this research was to obtain data concerning difference in saliva pH before and after brushing with toothpaste containing fluoride and without toothpaste. The research method used was the quasi-experimental method. Samples were collected by the way of purposive sampling, conducted on 43 male and female research subjects. The data were analyzed by statistical analysis using the t test at 95% confidence level. In this research a control group consisting of 43 people was used. Research results indicated that the average saliva pH before brushing was 7.174; after brushing with fluoride containing toothpaste salivary pH was 7.593. Result research of brushing without toothpaste showed an average saliva of 7.163 before brushing and 7.379 after brushing without toothpaste. The average changes in saliva pH before and after brushing using fluoride containing toothpaste was 0.216. The conclusion of this research was that there was significant difference in saliva pH before and after brushing with toothpaste containing fluoride; there was significant difference in saliva pH before and after brushing without toothpaste, and there was significant difference in saliva pH before and after brushing with toothpaste containing fluoride and without toothpaste.

Abstract

The habit of smoking white cigarettes and clove cigarettes may affect the gustatory function, that is, it will cause damage to taste buds, resulting in an increase in gustatory threshold. This research used the descriptive comparative method and had the purpose of obtaining an illustration of gustatory threshold and compare gustatory threshold in white cigarette smokers and clove cigarette smokers in young, male adults. For gustatory threshold evaluation, the Murphy method was used to obtain a value for perception threshold and taste identification threshold using sucrose solution of 0.0006 M-0.06 M concentration. Research results indicate that the perception threshold and identification threshold of young, male adult smokers are 0.0119 M and 0.0292 M. Young, male adult clove cigarette smokers have a perception threshold and identification threshold of 0.0151 M and 0.0348 M. The conclusion of this research is that the perception threshold of young, male adult white cigarette smokers and clove cigarette smokers are the same, whereas the identification threshold of young, male adult white cigarette smokers and clove cigarette smokers are different, that is, the identification threshold of clove cigarette smokers is higher than that of white cigarette smokers.

Abstract

Seventy percent of children with cerebral palsy were found to suffer from speech articulation impairment. The purpose of this research was to obtain an illustration of speech articulation impair­ment in children with cerebral palsy tested by the Goldman-Fristoe method at the SLB-D School for Dis­abled Children Bandung in 2007. This was a descriptive research. Sampling was carried out by purposive sampling. The speech articulation impairment test was carried out on the basis of the Goldman-Fristoe method, that is, an articulation test which places the consonant at the beginning, middle, and at the end of a word, to test speech articulation impairment in children with cerebral palsy. Research results indicated that speech articulation impairment in the bilabial consonants /p/,/b/, and /m/ is the average 85.51%. Speech articulation impairment of the labiodental consonants /f/ and /v/ is an average 89.13%. Speech articulation impairment of the alveolar or dental consonants /t/ and /d/ is an average of 80.43%. Speech articulation impairment in the palatal consonants /c/ is an average of 82.60%. Speech articulation impairment in velar consonants /k/ and glottal consonants /h/ is an average of 86.96%. Re­search results indicated that more than three-fourths of children with cerebral palsy at the SLB-D School for Disabled Children Bandung in 2007 suffered from speech articulation impairment.
