Abstract

Dental procedure sometimes can cause injury to the oral mucosa either intentionally or unintentionally. Inflammation on mucosa of the mouth / stomatitis is an inflammation that occurs in the oral mucosa, usually form of a yellowish white spots. These patches can be single or multiple. Inflammation on the mucosa of the mouth can affect the mucous membranes of the inner cheek, inner lip, tongue, gums and palate in the oral cavity. This study uses an Experimental Randomized Post Test Only Control Group Design on 32 male rats that had been induced by H2O2, causing inflammation of the lower labial mucosa, Sample were divided into two treatment groups, each group of 16 rats. Control group get Povidone Iodine for 3 days, and the treatment group was given ethanol extract 50 % of fennel fruit for 3 days. On day 7 rats euthanized for taking the oral mucosal tissue and then made histology preparations with HE staining. Data were analyzed, with Shapiro-Wilk normality test and followed by independent T-test.The mean macrophages and neutrophils significantly different (p <0.05). It can be concluded that the ethanol extract of 50% fennel fruit, can reduce macrophages and neutrophils than Povidone Iodine, so the inflammatory process can be shorter and healing process more quickly.

Abstract

Gangguan muskuloskeletal (musculoskeletal disorders) merupakan keluhan yang menimbulkan rasa nyeri berkepanjangan. Salah satu pencegahan yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan menerapkan postur kerja yang sesuai dengan prinsip ergonomi. Tujuan Penelitian: untuk mengetahui penerapan edukasi ergonomi dalam menurunkan keluhan muskuloskeletal dan memperbaiki konsistensi postur tubuh pada mahasiswa PSPDG Universitas Udayana. Metode Penelitian: Penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimental dengan rancangan quasi pre and post test control group design. Sampel sebanyak 20 orang dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok masing-masing 10 orang. Kelompok 1 sebagai kelompok kontrol dengan kondisi konvensional, sedangkan kelompok 2 sebagai kelompok perlakuan dengan intervensi edukasi ergonomi. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan mengukur keluhan muskuloskeletal menggunakan kuesioner Nordic Body Map sebelum dan setelah kegiatan praktikum pada kedua kelompok dan konsistensi postur tubuh menggunakan Test Of Visual Perception (TVP). Hasil: dari hasil uji Wilcoxon didapatkan nilai p=0,005 (p<0,05) pada kelompok kontrol dan nilai p=0,064 (p>0,05) pada kelompok perlakuan. Uji beda selisih menggunakan Mann-Whitney Test diperoleh nilai p=0,002 (p<0,05) dan untuk membandingkan skor TVP antara kedua kelompok menggunakan uji Chi-square diperoleh p=0,000 (p<0,05). Kesimpulan: edukasi ergonomi dapat menurunkan keluhan muskuloskeletal dan memperbaiki konsistensi postur tubuh pada mahasiswa PSPDG Universitas Udayana.

According to statistical result based on sig (2 tailed) that had explained the correlation between children knowledge and def-t index = 0,857 (not significant result) meanwhile the correlation between their parent knowledge and def-t index also based on sig 2-tailed formula = 0,047 (significant result). Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is children’s knowledge is not correlated to caries index otherwise, parents knowledge is correlated to caries index of children between 6-7 years old in elementary school of the one Gunaksa. Latar Belakang: Karies gigi merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan gigi dan mulut yang sering terjadi pada anak usia sekolah. Karies adalah kerusakan gigi akibat adanya suatu demineralisasi pada gigi yaitu hilangnya mineral pada enamel, dentin dan sementum pada gigi.

Metode: Penelitian menggunakan desain observational analitic dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Lokasi penelitian bertempat di SD Negeri 1 Gunaksa. Penelitian dilakukan pada 45 orang anak usia 6-7 tahun beserta orang tua. Anak dan orang tua diberikan kuisioner dan dilanjutkan dengan pemeriksaan indeks def-t anak. Hasil: Rata-rata indeks def-t = 9,91. Berdasarkan penelitian hubungan pengetahuan anak dengan indeks def-t didapatkan hasil nilai sig (2- tailed) = 0,857 (tidak signifikan) sedangkan pengetahuan orang tua dengan indeks def-t nilai sig (2- tailed) = 0,047 (signifikan). Kesimpulan: Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini bahwa pengetahuan anak tidak berhubungan dengan indeks karies gigi akan tetapi pengetahuan orang tua berhubungan dengan indeks karies gigi pada anak usia 6-7 tahun di SD Negeri 1 Gunaksa.

Abstract

Background: Dental plaque is a microbial biofilm, it contains a various microorganism that produce many enzymes, toxins, and lipopolysaccharides. The effective way to remove dental plaque is tooth brushing with dentifrice. Nowadays, there were various herbal and non-herbal dentifrices with the advantages and disadvantages of each dentifrice.Objective: To compare the effectiveness of herbal and non-herbal dentifrices in reducing dental plaque index.Methods: This study used true experimental with pre-test and post-test control group design. Thirty four participants were randomly allocated to two groups, the herbal group and the non-herbal group. The subjects were asked to brush twice daily with Ciptadent dentifrices, for 7 days, using Bass technique. Dental plaque index were recorded according to O’Leary Index method. Result: The mean score of dental plaque index at the post-test was found 12.05 ± 6.76 for the herbal group and 26.75 ± 13.20 for the non-herbal group. The independent sample t-test showed a difference in the mean score of dental plaque index in both group was found 14.70 (CI 95%: 7.37-22.03; p=0.007).Conclusion: The herbal dentifrice was more effective in reducing dental plaque index. Latar belakang: Plak merupakan suatu microbial biofilm, terdiri dari berbagai jenis mikroorganisme yang memproduksi sejumlah enzim, toksin, dan lipopolisakarida. Cara efektif untuk menghilangkan plak adalah dengan menggosok gigi menggunakan pasta gigi. Saat ini terdapat berbagai jenis pasta gigi herbal dan non herbal dengan kelebihan dan kekurangannya masing-masing.Tujuan: Mengetahui perbandingan efektivitas penggunaan pasta gigi herbal dan non herbal terhadap penurunan indeks plak.Metode: Penelitian ini bersifat true experimental dengan rancangan pre-test and post-test control group design. Tiga puluh empat sampel dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok pasta gigi herbal dan non herbal. Sampel diminta untuk menyikat gigi menggunakan pasta gigi Ciptadent yang diberikan sebanyak 2 kali selama 7 hari, menggunakan teknik Bass. Pengukuran indeks plak pre-test dan post-test menggunakan metode O’Leary Index.Hasil: Rerata indeks plak post-test pada kelompok herbal adalah 12,05 ± 6,76 dan pada kelompok non herbal adalah 26,75 ± 13,20. Analisis independent sample t-test menunjukkan beda rerata indeks plak pada kedua kelompok adalah 14,70 (IK 95%: 7,37-22,03; p=0,007).Simpulan: Penggunaan pasta gigi herbal lebih efektif dalam menurunkan indeks plak.
