Abstract

Background: Dental caries is still an unresolved problem. One method for the prevention of dental caries is the counselling method. Caderization is a long-term educational process for optimizing the potential of cadres by transferring and instilling specific values so that later it will produce strong cadres. Junior dentists meet the criteria and have been trained to participate in efforts to maintain and improve health for themselves, friends, family and the environment. The purpose of a junior dentist is to become drivers of healthy living at school, at home, and in their environment to help themselves, fellow students and others live healthy lives. Method: Making counselling media consisting of posters for counselling, models of teeth and toothbrushes, counselling videos about dental health delivered by junior dentists and conducting questionnaires for students' understanding levels. Data analyzed using descriptive statisticsResult: The results of the research in filling out the questionnaire after the students saw and listened to the junior dentist educational video found that 81.3% brushed their teeth twice a day, 59.4% answered that sweet foods caused cavities, 71.9% responded correctly that cavities if not treated will cause swelling, 90.6% answered incorrectly that teeth were only left alone if they had cavities and 93.8% answered how to maintain oral hygiene by brushing their teeth properlyConclusion: There is an increased understanding of dental and oral health

Abstract

Background: Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen that grow and survive as a commensal. However, a number of predisposing factors can turn them into pathogens. Nystatin is an antifungal drug from the polyene group use to treat oral candidiasis. Siwak have various bioactive components that can affect oral health. Tannin, one of the chemical component of siwak, is known to have antifungal activity against Candida albicans. This study aim to compare the antifungal effect of 50% siwak and nystatin on the Candida albicans biofilm.Method: This research method was an experimental type with a post test only control group design with a sample of 36 divided into 2 groups: 50% siwak and nystatin. Each group was incubated for 24 hours. The formation of biofilms was measured by calculating Optical Density using an ELISA-reader. Data analysis was performed using the Independent T-test.Result: The results of the average optical density values obtained 50% siwak group was 2.64261 and nystatin group was 2.428. Independent T-test results obtained p = .138 (p> 0.05) which showed no significant difference in antifungal effects between 50% siwak and nystatin.Conclusion: This research showed that 50% siwak extract and nystatin had an equivalent antifungal effect in reducing in vitro growth of Candida albicans biofilms.
