Background: Organosulfur compound, allicin and phenolic are the main compound in garlic responsible for antioxidant activity. Correlation between free radicals and some dental diseases, such as free radicals and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) responsible for periodontal inflammation, caries, lesions and oral cancers. The research objective is to get scientific data about the antioxidant activity from garlic extract (Allium sativum). Method: The research was conducted using three different varieties of garlic: local garlic varieties Ciwidey, single local garlic's clove, and import garlic which is found at the market in Bandung. Garlic extract is made by maceration using ethanol 96% and antioxidant activity test using DPPH method (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl). Statistical analysis using One Way ANOVA followed by post hoc analysis Result: three varieties of garlic have a strong antioxidant activity. Value of IC50 = 13.61 mg / ml for local garlic varieties Ciwidey, IC50 = 10.61 mg/ml for single local garlic's clove and IC50 = 11.32 mg/ml for imports garlic. Conclusion: Three varieties of garlic have different antioxidant strength and the best antioxidant strength is single local garlic's clove.
Program kesehatan saat ini masih sangat jarang yang menyasar pada kelompok usia remaja, utamanya mengenai kesehatan gigi, akibatnya banyak remaja Indonesia yang memiliki pengetahuan serta keterampilan menjaga kesehatan gigi yang masih rendah. Youth Dental Competition (YDC) adalah inisiasi acara edukasi sekaligus kompetisi yang menyenangkan untuk remaja mengenai kesehatan gigi dan mulut. Setelah mendapatkan informasi dan materi para remaja ditantang berkompetisi menunjukkan bakat serta kemampuannya dalam menyerap informasi tersebut lewat lomba cerdas cermat, membuat drama singkat dan komik meme bertemakan kesehatan gigi. Kompetisi disusun menyerupai SEA Games dengan hadiah yang menyemangati mereka untuk berusaha dan memberikan hasil yang terbaik. Hasil evaluasi pada 30 peserta melalui metode pre-post test yang memperlihatkan terjadinya peningkatan pengetahuan seluruh responden (100%). Rerata pre-test yaitu 3.93 dan rerata post-test sebesar 8.23 dengan hasil uji statistik wilcoxon menyatakan perbedaan yang bermakna (p=0,0001). Program YDC diharapkan dapat memberikan manfaat yang lebih luas lagi untuk seluruh remaja di Indonesia dengan bekerja sama dengan institusi-institusi terkait.
Early dental caries prevention in this case self-care oral cultivation needs to be done primarily in primary school-aged children. Indonesians are people who have not considered oral health since their early years. Dental and oral health education programs with aspects that only emphasize the realm of knowledge is not significant enough to change the paradigm in society and reduce the number of caries. Elementary dental school (EDS) using appreciative inquiry approach develops positive change concept which is a new discourse in the world of health promotion.With the appreciative inquiry approach, the positive core that will be used as a medium of transformation builds awareness and forms a healthy paradigm in children. The program seeks to raise awareness of maintaining oral hygiene through the stages of providing dance knowledge through animation and games by integrating school and home environments through the participation of teachers and parents.The results of the implementation of EDS program showed significant changes of knowledge in children especially seen from the increase of post test value compared to the pre test value which experienced an increase of 35.3%.
