Abstract

Introduction: People widely consume soft drinks due to their easy accessibility and delightful taste, without realising the impact on the tooth surface. Enamel dissolves easily due to acidic products that contact acid, a chemical demineralisation process (dental erosion). This study aimed to analyse the comparison between carbonated and fruit-based soft drinks effect on calcium release from enamel surface of extracted permanent teeth. Methods: In-vitro study with a time-series design was conducted on the population of extracted premolars taken from a private dental clinic and orthodontics clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry Universitas Sumatera Utara, Medan. The sample was obtained using the pairwise difference hypothesis test formula. The samples were 24 pieces divided into two treatment groups by immersing in carbonated drinks and fruit-based soft drinks for 5 to 60 minutes. The statistical test used was the independent t-test and generalised linear model-repeated measures (GLM-RM). Results: The calcium level after immersion in the carbonated drink at the fifth minute was 0.476±0.397 mg/L, then increased significantly at the sixtieth minute to 3.058±0.811 mg/L (p=0.001). In the fruit-based soft drinks immersion group, the dissolved calcium at the fifth minute was 0.671±0.208 mg/L, then increased significantly to 2.258±1.351 mg/L (p-value=0.028). Neither carbonated drinks nor fruit-based soft drinks showed a significant effect on the levels of dissolved calcium (p-value=0.135). Conclusion: In the fifth minutes of immersion, fruit-based soft drinks caused higher calcium release level compared to carbonated soft drinks. In contrast, in the sixtieth-minutes of immersion, the calcium release is found to be higher in the carbonated soft drinks group.

Abstract

Introduction: Poor dental cleaning habits can lead to plaque accumulation. One of the ways to remove plaque is by brushing your teeth. The plaque will appear within one to two days if there are no oral hygiene measures. The lack of motivation on children in maintaining dental hygiene is caused by various factors such as knowledge and behavior in maintaining dental health. Health education for children is usually carried out through preventive and promotive efforts, one of which is Dental Health Education (DHE) as a form of health education. Booklet and flip chart media are usually used in giving health information because they are effective, easier in making, and can be carried everywhere. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of DHE using the booklet and flip chart media to reduce the OHI-S scores before, a week, and a month after counseling is being given. Methods: This study is true experimental research with one group pre-test post-test design. Sampling using random sampling method and were statistically analyzed by using Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney test. Results: The results showed a significant difference in the mean score of OHI-S between the booklet and flipchart groups before, after a week, and after a month (p = 0.001) and (p = 0.0001). Conclusion: DHE using flipchart media is more effective in reducing children's OHI-S scores rather than a booklet

Abstract

The new corona virus epidemic (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO). The Covid-19 mortality rate in Indonesia of 8.9% is the highest number in Southeast Asia. Knowledge of the prevention of the Covid-19 pandemic is very important to prevent the transmission of Covid-19. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of knowledge of parents, teachers, and students of Taman Harapan Islam Medan Elementary School about the prevention of the Covid-19 pandemic. This study used a pretest questionnaire for initial data collection, then counseling was carried out on the prevention of Covid-19 and for the final data collection, a postest questionnaire was used. The results of the Mann Whitney test showed that there were differences in the level of knowledge of parents and children about Covid-19 before counseling (p: 0.022) and there were differences in the level of knowledge of parents and children about Covid-19 after counseling (p: 0.002). So it can be concluded that there is an influence on the level of knowledge of parents and children about the spread of Covid-19 infection. Education about preventing the spread of Covid-19 to parents of students, teachers and students of the Taman Harapan Islam Medan Elementary School can provide an understanding of the importance of preventing the spread of Covid-19 and can be passed on to their families and the surrounding environment.
