Abstract

Background: Wound healing treatment after tooth extraction should be an important consideration due to mouth discomfort and pain. Spirulina (blue green algae) consists of C-phycocyanin, b–carotenoids, vitamin E, zinc, some other trace elements and natural phytochemical which are believed to act as antioxidant and takes part in wound healing process. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of spirulina gel on fibroblast cell number after wound healing process. Methods: Twenty eight males guinea pig are devided into four group, 7 guinea pig each. They are control group and treatment group which is given 0%, 3%, 6%, and 12% spirulina gel. After tooth extraction, histopathological evaluation was done to count fibroblast cell. The data was analyzed by One-Way ANOVA and Tukey HSD. Results: The research has proven the relation between the increased growth of fibroblast cell and spirulina gel application. The higher the doses, the more cell growth. Hence, there has been significant different (p < 0.05) among groups. Conclusion: Spirulina gel increases the number of fibroblast in wound after tooth extraction and 12% spirulina gel has the most potential ability.Latar Belakang: Proses penyembuhan luka pasca pencabutan gigi merupakan salah satu hal yang penting karena akan menimbulkan rasa nyeri dan tidak nyaman dalam rongga mulut. Spirulina (Blue green Algae) mengandung C-phycocyanin, b-carotenoids, vitamin E, seng, beberapa trace elemen lainnya, dan phytochemical alami yang terbukti dapat berperan sebagai antioksidan dalam proses penyembuhan luka. Tujuan: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efek pemberian gel spirulina terhadap jumlah sel fibroblas pada proses penyembuhan luka pasca pencabutan gigi. Metode: Dua puluh delapan ekor guinea pig jantan dibagi dalam 7 kelompok, masing-masing terdiri dari 4 ekor. Kelompok tersebut adalah kelompok kontrol dan kelompok perlakuan yang diberikan gel spirulina dengan konsentrasi 0%, 3%, 6%, dan 12%. Setelah pencabutan gigi, dilakukan penghitungan sel fibroblas dengan metode histopatologi. Hasil: Penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya hubungan antara pemberian gel spirulina terhadap peningkatan jumlah sel fibroblas. Semakin tinggi dosis gel spirulina akan semakin meningkatkan jumlah sel fibroblas pula. Didapatkan perbedaan yang signifikan antar kelompok (p < 0,05). Kesimpulan: Gel spirulina meningkatkan jumlah sel fibroblas pada luka bekas pencabutan dan gel spirulina dengan konsentrasi 12% mempunyai kemampuan yang paling potensial.

Abstract

Background: In the field of dentistry, alveolar bone damage can be caused by periodontal disease, traumatic injury due to tooth extraction, cyst enucleation, and tumor surgery. One of the ways to regenerate the bone defect is using graft scaffold. Thus, combination of chitosan and collagen can stimulate osteogenesis. Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the potential of chitosan combined with chicken shank collagen on bone defect regeneration process. Method: Twelve Rattus norvegicus were prepared as animal models in this research. A bone defect was intentionally created at both of the right and left femoral bones of the models. Next, 24 samples were divided into four groups, namely Group 1 using chitosan – collagen scaffold (50:50), Group 2 using chitosan collagen-scaffold (80:20), Group 3 using chitosan scaffold only, and Control Group using 3% CMC-Na. On 14th day, those animals were sacrificed, and histopathological anatomy examination was conducted to observe osteoclast cells. In addition, immunohistochemistry examination was also performed to observe RANKL expressions. Result: There was a significant difference in RANKL expressions among the groups, except between Group 3 using chitosan scaffold only and control group (p value > 0.05). The highest expression of RANKL was found in Group 1 with chitosan – collagen scaffold (50:50), followed by Group 2 with chitosan-collagen scaffold (80:20). Moreover, there was also a significant difference in osteoclast generation, except between Group 1 using chitosan – collagen scaffold (50:50) and Group 2 using chitosan-collagen scaffold (80:20), p value < 0.05; and between Group 3 using chitosan scaffold only and control group, p value > 0.05. Less osteoclast was found in the groups using chitosan – collagen scaffold (Group 1 and Group 2). Conclusion: Combination of chitosan and chicken shank collagen scaffold can improve regeneration process of bone defect in Rattus novergicus animals through increasing of RANKL expressions, and decreasing of osteoclast.

Abstract

Background: White spot lesion is a demineralization process indicated by the increased of enamel microporosity. A tegillarca granosa shell contains 98.7% calcium and Vitis vinifera contains phytochemical compounds with fluoride, which has a potential to stimulate remineralization. Purpose: To analyze the Tegillarca granosa shell combination with Vitis vinifera and fluoride in decreasing enamel microporosity. Methods: The cream was prepared by combining 10% and 20% Tegillarca granosa shell with 10 grams of Vitis vinifera extract and 100 mg of fluoride. The cream was tested beforehand for viscocity and pH. Furthermore, 16 premolars were etched and divided into four groups. Group 1 was smeared with placebo (negative control) and Group 2 was smeared with casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (positive control). The other groups were smeared with cream 10% (Group 3) and 20% (Group 4) Tegillarca granosa shell combination with Vitis vinifera and fluoride. Teeth were treated three times a day for 30 minutes and soaked in artificial saliva. After 14 days, the enamel microporosity was carried out using a scanning electron microscope. The data was analyzed with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test followed by post-hoc least significant difference (LSD). Results: The enamel microporosity showed significant difference between Group 1 and the other groups. There was no significant difference between Groups 2, 3, and 4 (p<0.05). Although there was no significant difference between Group 3 and 4, the lowest one was in Group 4 (p>0.05). Conclusion: The cream, prepared by combining Tegillarca granosa shell with Vitis vinifera and fluoride, is effective in decreasing the enamel microporosity.
