Introduction: Mangosteen (Garcinia Mangostana L.) peel extract has widely used in the pharmaceutical field due to its anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and immunity boost properties. It had been proofed to be able to prevent and reduce the amount of plaque and cure gingivitis. This study was aimed to compare mangosteen peel extract at the concentration of 12.5 and 25% on the mouse gingival inflammation healing process. Methods: This study was a true experimental laboratory study. The subjects consisted of 28 mice divided into four groups, which were negative control (Aquadest) group; positive control (0.2% of Chlorhexidine) group; 12.5% Group of mangosteen peel extract group; and 25% respectively. Examination of the inflammatory healing process was observed every 2 hours during 6 hours, and the inflammatory measurements of mouse gingival performed by using calipers. Data obtained was analyzed with the one-way ANOVA test (α=0.05) and the Tukey's range test. Results: The results from the one-way ANOVA test and the Tukey's range test found that there was a significant difference on the inflammation size between the group with 12.5% of mangosteen peel extract and the group with aquadest and 0.2% of chlorhexidine. Meanwhile, the mice group with 12.5% of mangosteen peel extract and group with 25% of mangosteen peel extract did not show a significant difference in inflammatory size decrease. Conclusion: The mangosteen peel extract at the concentration of 12.5% was showing the highest anti-inflammatory potentials since the first measurement on the second hour after treatment.
Background: Dental caries is a disease of dental hard tissue that is often found in children. The etiology of dental caries is very diverse and multifactorial, one of which is the decreased acidity of saliva. There are many efforts and ways to reduce the incidence of dental caries, one of which is the application of topical flour to the teeth. Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) as a type of topical flour used has been shown to reduce demineralization and increase tooth remineralization. This study aimed to determine the acidity level of saliva before and after application of CPP-ACP in children aged 8-9 years. Methods: Measurement of salivary acidity was measured using a digital pH meter in the study sample of 42 children consisting of 23 boys and 19 girls. Subjects were applied CPP-ACP for 1 month with the routine application once a week, then re-examined the salivary acidity level after 1 month. Result : The average result of salivary acidity before CPP-ACP application was 6.928 and after CPP-ACP application was 7.0611. The T-test resulted in a very significant difference in the level of salivary acidity before and after the application of CPP-ACP. Conclusion : is that Tthere are differences in the level of salivary acidity in children aged 8-9 years before and after topical application of CPP-ACP flour.
Introduction: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that destroys tooth-supporting tissues and is associated with increased risk factors for systemic diseases. The main pathogen of periodontitis is the bacteria P. gingivalis, a Gram-negative, anaerobic, pleomorphic, coccobacillus, non-motile, and saccharolytic. The leaves of Indian jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) have the main bioactive compounds such as saponins, tannins, and flavonoids which have antimicrobial activities against pathogenic microorganisms. This study aims to analyse various concentrations of the ethanol extract of Indian jujube leaves against P. gingivalis. Methods: The method used in this study was the disc diffusion test based on the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute. P. gingivalis preparation and the fresh leaves of Indian jujube collected from one of the plantations in Probolinggo, East Java. In this study, tests used various concentrations of Indian jujube leaves extract, namely 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100%. Data antibacterial activity was classified according to David and Stout’s inhibition zone classification. Results: Indian jujube leaves extract with a concentration between 10-30% had weak antibacterial activity, 40-60% had moderate antibacterial activity, and 70-100% had strong antibacterial activity. The largest inhibitory zone diameter against P. gingivalis was found at a concentration of 100%. Conclusion: Indian jujube leaves extract starting from a concentration of 70% can inhibit the growth of P. gingivalis with strong antibacterial activity.
Alat ortodontik cekat mempunyai bentuk yang rumit sehingga mempermuhan terbentuknya akumulasi plak pada permukaan gigi dan di sekitar bracket. Kontrol plak pada pasien pengguna alat ortodontik cekat dapat dilakukan dengan dua cara yaitu secara mekanis dengan meyikat gigi dan kimia dengan obat kumur dan pasta gigi. Obat kumur memiliki beberapa jenis berdasarkan bahan dasar yang digunakannya. Chlorhexidine merukapan obat kumur berbahan dasar kimia yang sudah teruji sebagai gold standar dalam penggunaan dan efektivitasnya. Namun, chlorhexidine memiliki efek samping apabila digunakan terus menerus seperti pewarnaan gigi dan perubahan persepsi rasa. Maka dari itu, diperlukan alternatif obat kumur berbahan dasar herbal seperti daun sirih (Piper betle) yang lebih alami dan efektif dalam kontrol plak dan baik dalam kesehatan gigi dan mulut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbandingan efektivitas berkumur dengan obat kumur chlorhexidine dan obat kumur daun sirih (Piper betle) terhadap indeks plak pasien pengguna alat ortodontik cekat. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental klinis dengan single blind experiment disertai pre-test and post- test design dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 30 orang. Keefektivitasan obat kumur diuji melalui independent t-test dengan hasil efektivitas obat kumut daun sirih (Piper betle) terhadap penurunan indeks plak sebesar 29,74 dan efektivitas obat kumur chlorhexidine terhadap penurunanindeks plak sebesar 56,37 (p = 0,014). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan efektivitas yang signifikan antara penggunaan obat kumur daun sirih (Piper betle) dan obat kumur chlorhexidine. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa obat kumur chlorhexidine lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan daun sirih (Piper betle) dalam menurunkan indeks plak pada pasien pengguna ortodontik cekat.
