Abstract

Objective: This research aims to provide an overview of chewing gum casein effect on the number of bacteria streptococcus mutans and profile saliva. Casein is one of the elements in cow milk that has 70-80% of the total protein and function to prevent bacterium and other saliva sticking on the enamel surface of teeth. Consuming free sugar gum after eating can help to remineralise enamel, increase saliva and decrease the number of streptococcus mutans. Mouth work on mastication increases salivary flow rate. Therefore saliva production will increase and will change its acidity (pH).Material and Methods: The research design used was experimental research conducted in two groups where the control group by giving xylitol gum and the second group was given chewing casein gum. A total of 20 participants who match the criteria of research subjects chewed gum for 9 consecutive days and calculated the amount of streptococcus mutans, volume and pH of saliva.Results: The number of streptococcus mutans bacteria experienced a decline mainly in the group 69.60 in the first day to 22.80 in the ninth day. Thus, independent examination was done and p<0.005 was indicated, meaning that there was significant difference of casein gum in terms of decreasing streptococcus mutans bacteria, compared with xylitol gum.Conclusion: Casein gum made from cow milk can reduce the number of streptococcus mutans bacteria.

Abstract

Objective: To understand kind of dominant aerob bacteria in patient’s saliva with orthodontic appliance.Material and Methods: This is a descriptive observational with cross sectional design. Sample was saliva as many as 16 patients with fixed orthodontic appliance. Saliva were taken with swab method using wood catton swab, then put into tube filled with stuart medium, then isolated to blood agar, after that put into incubator for 24 hours then carried out catalase test, H2O2 3%, and gram color test to obtain aerob bacteria.Results: Identified bacteria from patient’s saliva with fixed orthodontic appliance as many as 44 aerob bacteria positive gram, they are Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis. Negative gram aerob bacteria found 2 kinds of bacteria they are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.Conclusion: The most dominant bacteria is positive gram aerob bacteria that is Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract

Latar belakang: Maloklusi merupakan masalah umum yang dijumpai pada seluruh bagian dunia dan bervariasi tergantung dari genetik, lingkungan,dan ras. Maloklusi menempati urutan ketiga pada prevalensi penyakit patologis pada mulut, berada di bawah karies gigi dan penyakit periodontal sehingga menjadikan maloklusi sebagai prioritas ketiga pada masalah kesehatan mulut di seluruh dunia. Metode yang bervariasi untukmenilai keparahanmaloklusi telah banyak dikembangkan untuk mengutamakan perawatan ortodontik.Salah satu indeks yang dapat digunakan untuk mengukur maloklusi adalah Occlusion Feature Index (OFI). Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui status maloklusi pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Hasanuddin yang diukur berdasarkan OFI.Metode:Penelitianini merupakan penelitian observasi deskriptif dengan desain cross-sectional dan melibatkan 144 sampel dengan metode simple random sampling.Sampel diperiksa dan diukur menggunakan OFI. Data kemudian dianalisis dan disajikan dalam bentuk tabel. Hasil: Status maloklusi dengan persentase tertinggi adalah maloklusi sangat ringan (slight), yaitu 62 sampel atau 43,1%, diikuti oleh maloklusi ringan (mild) 46 sampel atau 31,9%, kemudian maloklusi sedang (moderate) 31 sampel atau 21,5%, dan maloklusi berat (severe) 5 sampel atau 3,5%. Simpulan: Status maloklusi mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Hasanuddin masih tergolong ke dalam kategori maloklusi sangat ringan (slight).Kata Kunci: status maloklusi, occlusion feature index

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Maloklusi merupakan masalah yang paling sering terjadi pada rongga mulut setelah karies dan penyakit periodontal. Penderita maloklusi di Indonesia cukup tinggi, sekitar 80% dari jumlah penduduk dan merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan gigi dan mulut yang cukup bermakna. Salah satu metode mengidentifikasi dan menilai keparahan maloklusi, yaitu menggunakan Indeks Handicapping Malocclusion Assessment Record (HMAR). Indeks ini, secara kuantitatif dan objektif memberi penilaian terhadap ciri-ciri oklusi dan cara menentukan prioritas perawatan ortodontik menurut keparahan maloklusi. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui informasi klinis gambaran tingkat keparahan maloklusi pada anak usia 11-12 tahun menggunakan Indeks HMAR. Metode: Penelitian observasional deskriptif dengan desain cross-sectional dan melibatkan 226 sampel dengan metode total sampling. Sampel diperiksa dan diukur dengan menggunakan Indeks HMAR. Data dianalisis dan disajikan dalam bentuk tabel. Hasil: Status maloklusi tertinggi adalah kategori maloklusi berat yang sangat perlu perawatan, yaitu sebanyak 70 sampel (31%), diikuti oleh maloklusi berat sebanyak 54 sampel (24%), kemudian maloklusi ringan kasus tertentu sebanyak 50 sampel (22,1%), dan maloklusi ringan sebanyak 37 sampel (16,4%). Simpulan: Gambaran tingkat keparahan maloklusi berdasarkan Indeks HMAR pada siswa sekolah dasar dengan persentase terbanyak, yaitu kategori maloklusi berat yang sangat memerlukan perawatan.

Abstract

Background: In the oral cavity there are countless microorganisms, about 40% of which are Candida albicans as normal flora. The use of removable orthodontic appliances in the oral cavity greatly inhibits cleanliness and increases the number of retentive areas in the oral cavity resulting in risk factors of increased C.albicans. Binahong leaves contain many active compounds that are antimicrobial. Objective: To determine the effect of binahong leaf extract in inhibiting the growth of C.albicans in patients using removable orthodontic appliances. Method: Laboratory experimental research was conducted with the design of the posttest only control group design involving 5 samples of removable orthodontic appliances which were swabbed to obtain C.albicans, then each tested with binahong leaf extract concentrations of 10%, 30%, 50%, 70% and the control group. Next is the inhibitory test. Results: The greater concentration of the Binahong leaf extract, the greater the diameter of the resistance. Conclusion: Binahong leaf extract has an effect on inhibiting the growth of C.albicans in patients using removable orthodontic appliances.

Abstract

Background: Maintaining the cleanliness of removable orthodontic appliances is often overlooked so it can lead to changes in Candida albicans into the pathogenic form. Celery leaves are one of the natural ingredients that have active compounds as antimicrobial. Objective: To determine the effects of celery leaf extract in inhibiting the growth of C.albicans found on re-movable orthodontic appliances. Methods: Laboratory experimental studies were conducted with post test only control group design involving 5 samples of removable orthodontic appliances, which were swabbed to obtain C.albicans. Samples were divided into 5 groups, 1 control group and 4 treatment groups with 10%, 30%, 50%, and 70% extract concentration and the inhibitory test was performed. Result: The greater the concentration of celery leaf extract, the greater the diameter of the inhibi-tory zone formed. Conclusion: Celery leaf extract has the effect in inhibiting the growth of C.albicans found on removable or-thodontic appliances.

Abstract

Malocclusion is an occlusion that deviates from normal conditions, there is irregularity tooth or incorrect placement of dental arches outside the normal curve. Malocclusion can be caused by various factors, such as sucking habit. Sucking habit is divided into nutritive sucking habit and non-nutritive sucking habit. This literature review is aimed to describe the roles of nutritive and non-nutritive sucking habit on malocclusion. Eleven articles were obtained through articles search engines such as Google Scho-lar and PubMed. From the literature search, it was found that breast feeding and bottle feeding do not cause malocclusion, but several studies stated that bottle feeding can cause malocclusion. Meanwhile, finger sucking and pacifying are considered to cause malocclusion. Nutritive sucking habit and non-nutritive sucking habit are also related, children who do not breastfeed di-rectly from their mother or breastfeed less than 6 months are more likely to use pacifier or suck their fingers.
