Based on Riskesdas 2013, dental caries is the main oral health problem that found in communities. Caries also occurs in the primary teeth, known as rampant caries. Cariogenics diet pattern will affect the accumulation of plaque which can cause rampant caries. This research used observational analysis with cross-sectional design study. Samples of this study are 57 students at pre-school in Kampung Jao District Padang City. The data was collected through questionnaires and oral examination, statistical analysis is using Chi-Square test analysis. There was significant relationships between the childrens diet patterns with the case of rampan caries in Kampung Jao District Padang City (p = 0.044). It is suggested to parents to steer and control the types and frequency of food and beverages consumed in children.
Introduction: The correct determination of proper occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) is an important step that must be concerned by the dentist in dental treatment procedures. There are varieties of the method to establish OVD such as anthropometric measurements of OVD and length of little finger (LLF). This study was aimed to analyse the correlation between the occlusal vertical dimension with the length of little finger in Indonesian subraces such as Deutro-Malay, Proto-Malay, and Indonesian Chinese subraces. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 336 dentate subjects comprising of 168 males and 168 females with an age range between 20-35 years old with no little finger deformity. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling. Anthropometric measurement of OVD and LLF were recorded clinically using a digital vernier calliper. Correlation between OVD and LLF was analysed using the Pearson correlation. Results: Result of the statistical test showed that the OVD was significantly (p=0.000) and positively correlated with LLF, and showed a strong correlation (r=0.779) in Indonesian subraces. Conclusion: There is a correlation between occlusal vertical dimension measurement and the length of little finger in Indonesian subraces.
ABSTRAK:Telah dilakukan kajian observasional secara prospektif terhadap penggunaan antibiotik meliputi aspek farmakokinetika klinik dan kualitas antibiotik secara kualitatif pada pasien sepsis dengan gangguan ginjal di Rawat Inap Penyakit Dalam Rumah Sakit X. Pasien sepsis dengan gangguan ginjal ini diterapi dengan antibiotik selama 4 bulan. Antibiotik yang dievaluasi adalah yang ekskresi utamanya di ginjal meliputi jenis antibiotik, dosis, frekwensi, lama penggunaan, dan interaksi yang bermakna klinis. Evaluasi antibiotik secara kualitatif menggunakan metode Gyssens. Total pasien berjumlah 40 orang, diterapi dengan 8 jenis antibiotik dan diantaranya ada 5 antibiotik diekskresi utama melalui ginjal. Dari 5 jenis tersebut, ditemukan penyesuaian dosis dengan tepat pada (n=29;74,3%) dan penyesuaian dosis yang tidak tepat (n=10;25,7%) yang melebihi dosis individual yang dihitung secara farmakokinetik. Terdapat 5 jenis interaksi yang bermakna secara klinik. Evaluasi pemakaian antibiotik secara kualitatif dengan metode Gyssens, diperoleh kategori pasien tidak lengkap/VI (N=4; 10%), kategori tidak efektif/IVa (n=2; 5%), kategori tidak aman/IVb (n=1; 2,5%), kategori spektrum tidak sempit/ IVd (n=1; 2,5%), kategori dosis tidak tepat/IIa (n=9; 22,5%), dan kategori bijak/tepat/0 (n=23; 57,5%). Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa secara umum penggunaan antibiotik yang diekskresikan sebagian besar melalui ginjal tidak memperlihatkan dampak yang buruk pada fungsi ginjal pasien.
Introduction: The high prevalence of oral disease have not been followed by the availability of oral healthcare, especially at the community-based level. This study was aimed to determine the differences between dental health service quality and utilisation of community health centres in the city of Padang based on indicators of utilisation effectiveness. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted towards two Community Health Services (Puskesmas) as the samples selected using random sampling technique. One Community Health Service was representing a rarely visited Community Health Service with ≤ 9 patients visit per day, and another Community Health Service was representing oppositely. As much as 131 respondents were included in this study, selected using the purposive sampling method. Dimensional satisfaction of service quality including tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy, were collected by interviewing the respondents based on a self-reported questionnaire. All data were analysed using the chi-square test. Results: The majority of respondents agreed that dimensional satisfaction such as tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy at both Community Health Services were at a good level. There was a significant relationship (p < 0.05) between several dimensional satisfaction of service quality variables (the wide and clean parking area; intense involvement of dentists on every oral examination; friendly service by the front-office; and empathetic affection of dentists towards the patient’s complain) and the utilisation of oral health services. Conclusion: No service differences found from relationship analysis between dental health service quality and utilisation of community health centres in the city of Padang based on indicators of utilisation effectiveness.Keywords: Service quality, dimensional satisfaction, oral health service, service utilisation, Community Health Centre.
Dadih and yoghurt are functional food products that gives health benefits because it contains probiotic bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria in probiotic foods can produce antimicrobial lsubstrates, organicacids, ethanol, hydrogenperoxide, andbacteriocins. Streptococcus mutans is a gram-positive coccibacteria that became a major factor of caries. The aim of this reseacrh is to determine the effective ness differences between dadih and yoghurt to inhibit growth of Streptococcus mutans. This research is a laboratory experimental with well agar diffusion method on blood agar as a medium to see a inhibition zone by antimicrobial activity. This research used 36 well-agar which contains 50 μl of dadih and 50 μl yoghurt respectively. Result showed that mean rank of dadih’s inhibition zone is 12,75 mean while yoghurt’s inhibition zone is 24,25. Mann-Whitney test showed that p value=0,001. There was a significant inhibition effect between dadih and yoghurt on growth of Streptococcus mutans.It concluded that dadih and yoghurt have an antimicrobial effect to inhibit growth of Streptococcus mutans. Daily consumption of probiotic foods gives benefit for oral health.
