Pengetahuan mengenai kapan terjadinya puncak pertumbuhan merupakan hal yang sangat penting untuk menentukan kapan pertumbuhan aktif berakhir, sehingga akan diperoleh keberhasilan perawatan pasien ortodonti. Usia skeletal dapat menjadi pilihan yang paling tepat dalam menentukan kapan terjadinya puncak pertumbuhan tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk melihat hubungan antara usia skeletal dengan puncak pertumbuhan pada pasien usia 10-14 tahun di RSGM Unsyiah. Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik dengan teknik pengambilan sample adalah total sampling. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder yaitu foto sefalometri lateral dan rekam medik, serta menggunakan metode Bacceti dkk. untuk menentukan maturasi cervical stage pasien. Penelitian ini dianalisis dengan uji Chi-Square yang menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan antara usia skeletal dengan puncak pertumbuhan pada pasien usia 10-14 tahun di RSGM Unsyiah dengan nilai p=0,159 (p>0,05). Namun, terdapat hubungan pada perempuan jika dianalisis berdasarkan jenis kelamin.Kata kunci: usia skeletal, puncak pertumbuhan.
Saliva is a complex oral fluid consisting of 99% water that serves as a protector of teeth and mouth against influences from outside and inside oral cavity. Saliva is influenced by several components, including salivary flow rate and pH. Salivary flow rate and pH can change due to mechanical stimulation (gargling) and chemical (taste sensation). Old coconut water contains tannin and minerals with pH of 7.3. This study aims to determine the effect of gargling of old coconut water (Cocos nucifera L) toward salivary flow rates and pH in students of SMAN 10 Fajar Harapan Banda Aceh. This research was conducted by collecting saliva by spitting method from subjects. The subject consisted of 41 students. The results of the study analysed using Wilcoxon showed that salivary flow rate had significant differences before and after gargling old coconut water with a value of p<0.05. For salivary pH, there was no significant difference before and after gargling old coconut water with a value of p>0.05. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that gargling old coconut water has an effect on salivary flow rate and does not affect salivary pH.
Benang bedah memiliki peran yang penting dalam intervensi bedah yaitu untuk menyatukan tepi–tepiluka, meningkatkan penyembuhan luka, dan memberikan kontrol perdarahan. Walaupun begitu,keberadaan benang bedah dapat meningkatkan kerentanan terhadap infeksi pada luka. Infeksi initerjadi akibat kontaminasi dari mikroorganisme yang berinteraksi dengan benda asing pada lukaseperti benang bedah. Infeksi pada luka atau area bedah ini dikenal sebagai surgical site infection(SSI). Benang bedah sudah lama dihubungkan dengan awal terjadinya SSI. Staphylococcus aureusmerupakan bakteri yang paling sering diisolasi dari kejadian SSI. Untuk itu tujuan dari penelitian iniadalah untuk melihat perlekatan S. aureus terhadap beberapa benang bedah yang umum digunakan,yaitu silk, vycril, catgut, dan nylon. Staphylococcus aureus yang melekat pada benang bedah ditelitidengan metode pengenceran bertingkat/lempeng sebar dan dihitung dengan menggunakan metodestandard plate count. Jumlah koloni S. aureus yang melekat pada benang bedah yang ditemukan padabenang bedah silk sebesar 2.4x104 Cfu/ml, vycril sebesar 6.0x104 Cfu/ml, catgut sebesar 18.6x104Cfu/ml, dan nylon sebesar 2.6x104 Cfu/ml. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa jumlah koloni S.aureus pada seluruh benang dikatakan aman, tidak meningkatkan risiko SSI karena jumlah S. aureusmasih dibawah 105 mikroorganisme per gram jaringan. Selain itu, jumlah kolonisasi S. aureus padabenang bedah ini dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor seperti bahan pelindung yang melapisi suatubenang, bahan benang, dan konfigurasi fisikalnya.Kata Kunci: Benang bedah, Staphylococcus aureus, SSI
The study to determine the inhibition capability of robusta coffee's (Coffea canephora var. robusta) leaf extract against S. mutans growth. Robusta coffee's (Coffea canephora var. robusta) leaf extract was made by maceration method using 96% ethanol. The antibacterial examination using well diffusion on Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) media. The concentration of robusta coffee's (Coffea canephora var. robusta) leaf extract used in this study was 25%, 50%, and 75%. The study was analyzed using the One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test and continued with the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. The results showed a value of p0.05, which proves that robusta coffee's (Coffea canephora var. robusta) leaf extract has an antibacterial effect on the growth of S. mutans with low inhibition potency
Bleeding is when blood is removed from damaged blood vessels and can occur during dental procedures. Curry leaves (Murraya koenigii L.) contain tannins and flavonoids, which have the potential as a hemostatic agent to stop bleeding. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of curry leaf extract (Murraya koenigii L.) on the bleeding time of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). The test animals used were 5 Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), which were divided into a control group that was applied with distilled water and the treatment group with the extract of curry leaves. The first treatment group was given a concentration of 25%, the second treatment group had a concentration of 50%, the third treatment group had a concentration of 75%, and the fourth treatment group had a concentration of 100%. Bleeding time was calculated using the Duke method on the tail of the rats. The results showed that curry leaf extract concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% were able to shorten the bleeding time with an average time of 140 seconds, 81.67 seconds, 138.33 seconds, and 73.33, respectively. Second. One-way ANOVA data analysis showed that the bleeding time in all treatment groups was significantly different from the control group (p 0.05). This study concludes that the extract of curry leaves (Murraya koenigii L.) affects the bleeding time in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
