Abstract

The prevalence of oral bacterial infections, such periodontitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus is a global issue affecting several countries, including Indonesia. However, the use of Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.), a multifunctional plant with antibacterial, antidiabetic, anticholesterol, antioxidant, and analgesic effects, has proven to be effective overcome this issue. The antimicrobial compounds of tamarind such as polyphenols, tannins, and anthocyanins, which damage cell walls, inactivate enzymes, and interfere with protein transport, involve bacteria lysis. Therefore, this study aims to determine the antibacterial effect of tamarind seed coat extract against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 29213TM. The design of this study is experimental laboratory, with a post-test-only control group design, which was analyzed using ANOVA and Least Significant Difference (LSD) tests. The parameters measured included the zone of inhibition, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) at various extract concentrations of 15%, 10%, 5%, and 2.5%. The inhibition zone was determined using the blank disk method with a digital caliper, while the MIC and MBC were measured using the dilution method. Tamarind seed coat was extracted using a maceration method with 70% ethanol, divided into four group concentrations. The results showed average inhibition zones of 15 mm, 12.7 mm, 10.6 mm, and 0 mm at concentrations of 15%, 10%, 5%, and 2.5%, respectively. The MIC and MBC obtained through the dilution method in the tube were clearer at 5% and turbid at 15%. Furthermore, the value of both parameters at 5% and 10% were determined by subculturing the solution onto Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) media. Based on the results, higher concentrations of the extract were more effective against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 29213TM.

Abstract

The elderly commonly experiences decreased function in various organs, which can impact the immune and digestive systems, as well as increase susceptibility to angular cheilitis (ICD-10 code: K13.0). Furthermore, the high prevalence of malnutrition and the increase in the elderly yearly can affect the incidence of this inflammation. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of angular cheilitis in the elderly. The rapid review method was employed to accomplish this using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines for screening and search procedures. The search was performed through the Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases using specific keywords and inclusion criteria. A total of 30 observational study articles from 16 countries focusing on several elderly populations were included in this study. The lowest and highest prevalence value was 1% and 46.66%, respectively, with 1,347 out of 14,927 elderly experiencing angular cheilitis. Of the 30 articles reviewed, 23 showed a value below 10%, while the remaining 7 were above 10%. The differences in prevalence could be attributed to the limitations of the articles utilized in this study, which vary widely in terms of sample population characteristics, location, gender allocation, as well as study and data collection methods. This review showed that the prevalence of angular cheilitis in most countries is low. However, the two studies conducted in Indonesia have a high and low prevalence, respectively.

Abstract

Patients visiting the dentist for treatment may have different comorbidities, which refers to the existence of multiple disorders in an individual during a specific period. These comorbidities consist of both physical and psychological illness, occurring alongside the primary condition of patients, and potentially worsening their overall health condition. The condition adversely affects patients survival and can have an impact on the physiological burden, as well as on treatment options. Therefore, this retrospective descriptive study aimed to determine the distribution and frequency of comorbid diseases in dental extraction patients using secondary data from medical records and at the Special Dental and Oral Hospital (RSKGM) FKG UI from 2018 to 2020. Based on 718 samples of medical records of tooth extraction patients, 341 patients, accounting for 47.5% had comorbid diseases, with a percentage of 61.87% and 38.13% for female and male patients, respectively. The most common comorbid disease occurred in the age group of 21–30 years with a percentage of 38.4%. Furthermore, the most common comorbid disease found in tooth extraction patients was digestive disorders, followed by hypertension, accounting for 56.6% and 23.5%, respectively. Most of the indications for tooth extraction were root gangrene at 32.6%, followed by pulpal gangrene with a percentage of 30.8%. The results of this study indicate that most of the patients with tooth extraction had comorbid diseases and the most frequently found were gastrointestinal disorders and hypertension.

Abstract

Oral epithelial dysplasia is an abnormal cytology and architectural change that can develop into oral malignancy with a high mortality rate. Centella asiatica leaves possesses the potential to act as a chemopreventive agent and is known for its relative safety and ease of obtainability. Therefore, this study aimed to determine effect of Centella asiatica leaves extract on dysplasia induced by dimethylbenz [a] anthracene (DMBA) with scratch and incision. The in vivo study involved 21 Wistar rats (Rattus novergicus) divided into three groups. The groups received 2% Centella asiatica leaves methanolic extract orally by force-feeding once daily, from day 1 until day 61. At day 29, dysplasia was induced by scratching the buccal mucosa of each rat using a syringe containing 0.5% DMBA. This was conducted with incision 1 cm in length and half angle in depth, 1 cm in length and 1 mm in depth, and 2 cm in length and 1 mm in depth for groups 1, 2, and 3. Furthermore, the rats were sacrificed, and histopathological analysis was performed using hematoxylin-eosin staining. The degree of dysplasia was assessed using the WHO 2017 classification, and the data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. Meanwhile, the statistical test showed significant difference in the degree of dysplasia for all groups. It can be concluded that Centella asiatica methanolic extract leaves possesses the potential to be a chemopreventive agent in reducing dysplasia levels.

Abstract

The decrease in the production of estrogen and progesterone hormones in menopausal women may result in a condition called xerostomia, which is characterized by the subjective perception of dry mouth. This condition can be treated by using a chemical or mechanical stimulus. Therefore, the aims of this study were to identify the chemical content of forest honey as well as to determine the effect of its usage as a 20% mouth rinse on the salivary flow rate in menopausal women with xerostomia at RSGM Universitas of Sumatera Utara. This is an experimental study, which was designed using a single-blind randomized pretest-posttest control group. The inclusion criteria were menopausal women aged 40-65 years old with xerostomia, were not undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment for the neck and head, had no systemic diseases, such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and kidney failure, and not consuming medication that could affect the normal saliva function. Subjects who were not cooperative during the study procedures were excluded. The sample population consisted of 30 menopausal women with xerostomia, which were divided into two groups. The first group was treated by asking them to gargle with 20% honey solution, while the second group, which served as a control used distilled water. Saliva was collected before and after treatment into a pot for 5 minutes using the spitting method, and the data collected were analyzed with T-test. The results showed that forest honey was rich in diastase enzyme and it increased the salivary flow rate, with p-value=0.000<0.05. Based on these findings, the use of 20% honey solution had a significant effect in increasing the salivary flow rate in menopausal women with xerostomia.

Abstract

ancellous and cortical bone loss in postmenopausal women can be caused by a lack of estrogen, which plays an important role in growth and maturation. The panoramic mandibular index (PMI) also detects loss of bone mass and is a reference for individuals at high risk of developing osteoporosis. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the PMI value in Batak women with postmenopausal conditions using a descriptive survey correlation cross-sectional method. The samples were panoramic radiographs of Batak women with postmenopausal conditions aged >52 years and premenopausal as controls. Furthermore, the data was tested using an Unpaired T-test and the average PMI values in the premenopausal and postmenopausal Batak women groups were 0.327 ± 0.058 and 0.296 ± 0.063, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference (p < 0.05, specifically 0.027) in PMI values between the premenopausal and postmenopausal Batak women. These findings showed that PMI served as a reliable indicator of bone loss and potentially aid in identifying individuals at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis.

Abstract

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) refers to persistent medical conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and related structures. Studies showed that stress was closely linked to the development of TMD. Furthermore, healthcare students are particularly susceptible to stress compared to the general population. This can have a negative impact on their quality of life and mental health during their training. The increased prevalence of TMD has also been reported among the same cohort of the population. However, there is a lack of literature published highlighting the prevalence of TMD and their association with increased levels of stress in dental students. This study aims to explore whether increased stress levels are associated with the prevalence of TMD in undergraduate dental students. A total of 218 dental students participated. Two online self-reported questionnaires consisted of structured case history on past medical and dental history with a Fonseca Amnestic Index (FAI) questionnaire used to identify the prevalence of TMD and DESS questionnaire for stress prediction were used. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 with a p-value less than 0.05. It was reported that about 48% of students had various TMD with no significant association found between the year of study and gender. However, a significant association was reported between stress gender. A positive correlation was also found between stress and TMD among participants. This study revealed a significant association between stress and the prevalence of TMD in undergraduate dental students. Educational institutions must adopt coping strategies to help trainees manage their psychological stress, which could reduce the incidence of TMD.

Abstract

Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS) is a prevalent oral disease that detrimentally impacts the quality of life for those affected. One of the several factors that can trigger the emergence of RAS is stress. Psychological stress can adversely affect health and decrease the immune system. Studies in the field of Psychoneuroimmunology have shown the relationship between human behaviour, nerve function, and psychological stress, which can potentially act as a cause of disease and reduce the immunity of the oral mucosa. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the correlation between stress and the incidence of Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis on bank employees in Tulungagung, East Java. It is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach, involving male bank employees with a marketing position, aged between 27 and 40 years. Data were analyzed and interpreted using the Chi-square test with a nominal variable data scale. The results showed that the asymp. value sig (2-sided) is 0.000, indicating a significant relationship. In conclusion, there is a relationship between stress and Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis.
