Introduction: Children with special needs have physical limitations and the ability to maintain their oral hygiene, so it needs to be chosen the proper tooth brushing methods for maintaining oral hygiene and prevent periodontal disease.Purpose: This study aimed to know differences of the effectiveness of horizontal tooth brushing methods and foneson the dental plaque index in children with visual impairment.Methods: This research was a quasy experimental laboratory with pre-test and post-test design. The study was conducted on 26 blind children aged 6-13 years in MILB YKTM Budi Asih, SLB-A DriaAdi, and SLB Negeri Semarang that were divided into two groups of horizontal and fonestooth brushing method. Dental plaque was measured using PHP plaque index, examined the dental crown facial or lingual parts by dividing each tooth crown into 5 subdivisions, plaque index inspected before and after 1 week of brushing method application, then analyzed by paired t-test and independent t test at a significance level ofp <0.05. Results: The mean of plaque index before and after brushing the teeth with horizontal method was 2.56 and 0.956 down to 1.61, whereas in the fonesmethod was 3.03 and 1.68down to 1.35. Plaque index before and after brushing teeth both on horizontal and fones method was statistically significant(p <0.05). But the effectiveness of both methods were not different or similar (p = 0.179).Conclusion: There was no difference of effectiveness between horizontal and fones tooth brushing methods on the dental plaque index in children with visual impairment.
Background: Plaque plays an important role in causing caries and periodontal problems. Plaque control should be done chemically in an effort to reduce the accumulation of plaque in the oral cavity. Juice of red grapes (Vitis vinifera) has a chemical compound as an antibacterial catechins and tannins . The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of rinsing with red grape juice with different concentrations of chlorhexidine and 0.12 % during the 7 day study of the reduction of plaque index. Method: This study is quasi-experimental study which was conducted on 25 students Aisyiyah Orphanage. After Scaling and toothbrush cleaning, each sample rinsed with 10 ml of solution 3 times a day has been accepted in accordance with the treatment without taking action toothbrush for 7 days. Result: The mean plaque index in the treatment group began to experience a gradual decline in the fourth day until the seventh day of the study. From the results of Mann Whitney test analysis found significant differences between the various groups of SBA and chlorhexidine 0.12 % concentration with distilled water on the fourth to the seventh day of the study. But betweenthe SBA 100 % with chlorhexidine 0.12 % there is no significant difference. Conclusion: This can be concluded that rinsing with red grape juice with a concentration of 50 % , 75 % 100 % and chlorhexidine 0.12 % has efficacy in reducing the plaque index. 100 % SBA group is a group of the most effective concentration.
Background: In the wound healing process there are a variety of processes, including the most important are fibroplasia process that has a very important role in the wound healing process. Red ginger (Zingiber officinale) contains active ingredients include a mixture of components of essential oils and resins that oleoresin which has anti-inflammatory effects. The aim is determine the effect of red ginger extract against the number of fibroblasts in healing ulcers on the oral mucosa white male rats (Rattus norvegicus) Method: Samples using 24 male rats 2-3 months of age and body weight of 120-200 grams. Mandibular labial mucosa injured mice using H2O2 solution for 2x1 days. The samples were divided into 4 groups, where each group each of 4 individuals: group 1 without any treatment, group 2 was treated application ginger gel extract 4%, group 3 was given treatment application ginger gel extract 8% and group 4 treated with applications aloclair gel. On the fourth day after the injury, the rats were decapitated, then do making preparations for histology to count the number of fibroblast cells.
Result:The results Oneway ANOVA p value <0.05 and post Hoc Test LSD p value <0.05 which means that the extract of red ginger significantly affects the number of fibroblast cells and between groups have significant differences Conclusion: Extract red ginger gel is effective against the number of fibroblasts in healing ulcers on the oral mucosa white male rats.
Background: Congenital heart disease is a condition of heart anomaly and or disfunction of heart since birth. The most common congenital heart disease is Tetralogy Of Fallot (TOF). The disorder has four features, a ventricular septal defect, aortic overriding, stenosis pulmonary, and hypertrophy right ventricular. Method: This review aimed to talk about oral manifestations and discuss options of several oral and dental management in children with TOF. Result: Oral and dental treatment of pediatric patient with cardiovascular disease is important to be carried out with the risk of bacterial endocarditis.
Conclusion:Oral and dental management in a child with congenital heart disease is very important. Main point of dental management are dental health education, preventive dental treatment and control periodic after dental treatment.
