Background: The use of commercial desensitization toothpaste is one of the way to treat dentine hypersensitivity. Desensitization tooth paste contains an active ingredient which is able to occlude the dentinal tubules to minimize the movement of fluid in the dentinal tubules which lead to dentin hypersensitivity. Desensitization toothpaste containing various kind of active ingredients for occluding the dentinal tubules. The purpose of this research was to determine the differences of desensitization tootpaste ability (Pepsodent Sensitive Expert® and Sensodyne Repair and Protect®)inoccluding dentinal tubules with different active ingredient (hydroxyapatite and Novamin).Method: The research is experimental laboratories with post test group design. The sample used was 8 dentin disc with 8 mm length and 3 mm width, the sample was divided into two groups thattreated with Pepsodent Sensitive Expert® desensitization toothpaste and the group treated with Sensodyne Repair and Protect® desensitization toothpaste. A non-parametric data analysis was carried out by MannWhitney(<0.05). Result:The result showed that there were no significant differences in the percentage of dentinal tubulesin both treatment groups.Conclusion:The conclusion of this research is both of Pepsodent Sensitive Expert® and Sensodyne Repair and Protect® desensitization tootpaste have the same ability in occluding the dentinal tubules.
Background: Molecular diagnostic is an emerging diagnostic method in personalized medicine/dentistry era. Usually, it uses nucleic acid amplification method to detect various diseases. PCR is conventional nucleic acid amplification method. However, due to an urgency in infectious diseases' diagnotic method, scientists developed LAMP as new nucleic acid amplification method. Discussion: There are various experiments used to develop LAMP as infectious diseases diagnostic method compared to PCR. The results are LAMP more sensitive, specific, rapid, and inexpensive than PCR. Conclusion: Both PCR and LAMP can be used as molecular diagnostic tools. LAMP prefer to used as infectious disease diagnostic method in poor and developing countries.
Background: Dental plague has been known to be the major agent causing dental carries and periodontal disease which are the most common dental and soft tissue diseases with the prevalence of 70-80%. The preventive measure including the use of chemical substance of catechin having anti-plague activity in the form of mouth wash has been shown to have effects on the dental plague formation. The objective of this study was to find out the duration of mouth washing with boiled gambir (Uncaria ambir) on the plague formation in Pondok Pesantren Al-Badriyah Mranggen, Demak.Design and Method: In this study using Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design, 44 samples of subjects was divided into 4 groups of 11 each. Group I, II, II were treated with the mouth wash of Uncaria gambir boiled 2, 3, 4 minutes respectively. Group IV serving as control was treated with mouth wash of water for 3 minutes. The data was analyzed with non parametric test using Kruskal-Wallis followed by Mann-Whitney test with p < 0.05.Result: Kruskal Wallis analysis showed a significant difference in mean of plague before and after the treatment among the four groups (p < 0.05). Mann-Whitney test showed no significant difference between group I and III ( p> 0.05) and significant difference for the rest of the groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The mouth rinse duration using boiled Gambir has been shown to have an effect on the dental plague formation. 3 minute mouth washing shows the optimum effect (Sains Medika, 4(1):57-62).
TITLEThe effectiveness of siwalan fruit and nata de coco consumption to debris index on forth level students SD Ngesrep 02 SemarangABSTRACTSiwalan was two plants, on one tree there is only one type of flower is male or female. Young palm fruit flesh is good to eat and the water taste sweet. Nata de coco is a type of beverage component which is a compound cellulose (dietary fiber), which is produced from coconut water through a fermentation process, which involves microorganisms (microbes). Debris index is a score on soft sediment that occurs because of the leftovers are attached to the teeth determinants. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of consuming fruit and nata de coco palm against the value of the index debris on fourth grade students Ngesrep 02 Semarang.The method used in this study is quasy experiment or often referred to as a quasi-experimental. The design of this study using two groups of samples by measuring the initial observation and final observation. The population in this study is a fourth grade student Ngesrep 02 Semarang with the number of students 38 children. Menggunakan deskriptif quantitative analysis with tabulation method to determine the effectiveness of palm fruit consumption and nata de cocoterhadap impairment DI.Results showed the averages index debris before consuming palm fruit was 1.13% and after consuming palm fruit was 0.43 so it has a difference of 0.7. While the averages index debris before taking nata de coco is 1,1% after consuming nata de coco is 0.6 so it has a difference of 0.5. This shows that palm fruit debris tends to be more effective in lowering the index compared with nata de coco with the difference that was not significant. Keywords : Siwalan, Nata de coco, Debris Index
