Abstract

Background: Various preventive actions are being developed to prevent dental caries. On the other hand, some of these methods can only be applied by the dentist. Therefore, it is necessary to find an alternative caries prevention method. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of mango (Mangifera indica L.) leaves extract in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans. Methods: This research is experimental laboratory research and used a random sampling technique. Mango (M. indica L.) leaves extract was diluted using the double dilution method, which were 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, 3.12%, 1.6%, 0.8%, 0.4%, 0.2%, 0.15%, 0.1%, 0.05%, and 0.025%. The Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of mango (M. indica L.) leaves extract against S. mutans was determined using the agar plate thinning method. Results: The results showed no bacterial growth in the media with 100%, 50%, and 25% mango leaves extract. In addition, it was found that in media with 12.5% mango leaves extract still showed colony growth. Conclusion: Mango (M. indica L.) leaves extract in ethanol solvent has an antibacterial effect against S. mutans with the MBC value of 25%.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is frequently observed in children. Increasing the awareness of oral health among school-age children is anticipated to decrease the occurrence of dental caries. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of dental caries among students in Medowo III elementary school using dmft/DMFT index. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among the entire student at Medowo III elementary school. The dental caries of each student were assessed using the dmft and DMFT indices. The assessment of variable distribution was conducted using the Shapiro-Wilk test. The dmft/DMFT values were compared between different age groups and genders using either the Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney test. The data was processed using a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The study included a total of 43 students. The average caries index in primary dentitions was markedly greater than in permanent dentitions. According to WHO, the prevalence of dental caries was very high in the primary dentition of students aged 7-9 years. No notable disparities were detected between female and male students in relation to the caries index of both primary and permanent teeth. However, the average caries index of primary teeth was considerably higher in middle-childhood students compared to preadolescence students. Conclusion: The dental caries prevalence among students in Medowo III elementary school were still high. Therefore, oral health prevention program was needed in order to enhance the community's awareness toward dental caries.
