Abstract

Caries is a common oral and dental disease. The main etiology of caries is plaque. Chewing fibrous fruits can prevent plaque accumulation, including Manalagi apples and Fuji apples. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the effectiveness of consuming manalagi apples with fuji apples on the reduction of the plaque index in Madrasah Aliyah Al-Hidayah students. This type of research is a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups. The total sample was 32 students aged 16-18. Data were analyzed by statistical test T-Test. Based on the results of the paired t-test statistical test, it was found that the average plaque index before chewing an apple was 0.63 ± 0.42 after 0.26 ± 0.26 with a mean of 0.37 ± 0.16. Meanwhile, the plaque index before chewing on Fuji apples was 1.01 ± 0.59 after 0.87 ± 0.54 with a mean of 0.14 ± 0.05. The results of the independent statistical t-test showed that the value of p = 0.001, which means that there is a difference in chewing Manalagi apples with Fuji apples to decrease the plaque index. The conclusion of this study is that consuming manalagi apples is more effective than fuji apples in reducing the plaque index

Abstract

Increasing the pH of saliva will affect oral health. One way to increase the pH of saliva is to chew fruit that is fibrous, crunchy, and contains lots of water. The research objective was to determine the effect of cucumber on salivary pH at the Bina Mandiri Social Orphanage. This type of research is a one-group pretest and posttest group design. The study population was the children at the Rapha-El Orphanage Foundation. The sample size is determined based on the Roscoe formula of 20 people. Methods of data collection by measuring the pH of saliva before and after chewing cucumbers using a digital pH meter. The data that has been collected, is then analyzed by paired t-test. The results showed that there was a difference in the average pH of saliva before and after chewing cucumber (p = 0.001). The conclusion is that there is an effect of chewing cucumber on increasing the pH of saliva in children at the Rapha- El Orphanage Foundation.
