The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of innovation as the mediation variable towards the knowledge management relationship and also culture organization towards organization performance. The population in this study are employees of XYZ. The data collection in this study is conducted by using the questionnaire and then the data is analyzed with Partial Least Squares method. The results show that; (1) knowledge management has the influence on innovation; (2) The effect on the organizational culture of innovation; (3) Knowledge Management of an effect on the performance of the organization; (4) The organizational culture influence on organizational performance (5) innovation does not affect the performance of the organization, (6) the innovation did not mediate the relationship of knowledge management to organizational performance; (5) innovation does not mediate the relationship of organizational culture on organizational performance. There is an explanation obtained from the interview that describe the gap and difference perception between innovation authority and power. Thus, the innovation always depends on the individual who has willingness to make the innovation.

Background : Dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) is a painful clinical condition and is characterized by pain arising from exposed dentin in response to various stimuli. Various treatment modalities are available to treat dentinal hypersensitivity which include at-home and in-office treatment. At home treatment generally consists of a variety of dentrifices containing different constituents like strontium chloride and bioactive glass (Novamin). These agents cause occlusion of dentinal tubules thereby reducing hypersensitivity.Purpose: This study  was  to evaluate the effects of different desensitizing dentifrices on dentinal tubule occlusion by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of strontium chloride and bioactive glass (Novamin) pastes in the treatment of dentinehypersensitivity (DH) Methods: sixteen extractedspecimens from bovine incisors teeth with randomized into 2 groups (n=8). The crowns were removed from the root and the crown  were sectioned longitudinally into two parts (in a mesiodistaldirection). The cervical toothwere resulting in two samples per tooth.Dentinal tubules were exposedand thesamples provided a 4 mm x 4 mm area of exposed dentinal tubules.Group 1 (treated with strontium chloride), Group 2 (treated with  bioactive glass (novamin))After each treatment for seven days, tubule occlusion on dentin were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy  (SEM).The data were analyzed using “mann-whitneytest” (p<0.05).Result: Groups bioactive glass (novamin) showed tubule occlusion highest when compared with groups strontium chloride.Conclusion: bioactive glass (novamin) paste showed tubule occlusion highest with strontium chloride
