The use of removable dentures is one of the main approach to oral rehabilitation of partially or completely edentulous patient. Denture hygiene is an important things for the elderly as a vulnerable people. The purpose is to discribe both of the literature or recent study that related to denture hygiene in elderly. Removable denture got special attention cause accumulate food residue, bacterial biofilm, and calculus at the mucosa or denture interface. Recently, the presence of bacterial bioflim on denture was considered a risk factor for aspiration pneumonia in frail older people. In general, removable denture that is used acrylic based denture.The microporous surfaces of an acrylic denture provide a wide range of environments to support microorganisms that can threaten the health of patient. Knowing denture cleanser as apart of denture hygiene in elderly is an important things.
Kesehatan gigi Ibu hamil sangat perlu dijaga, untuk menghindarkan terjadinya infeksi pada gigi dan gusi. Upaya ini akan menghindarkan dari infeksi yang berisiko yang menyebabkan prematur dan kelahiran berat bayi lahir rendah. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengalaman karies dan kesehatan periodontal dan kebutuhan perawatan ibu hamil. Metode: Metode penelitian yang digunakan deskriptif. Populasi penelitian adalah ibu hamil yang datang ke Klinik Cantik Banjaran Bandung. Sampel penelitian yaitu ibu hamil yang bersedia menjadi subjek penelitian dan tidak mempunyai kelainan sistemik. Teknik pengambilan sampel adalah convinience sampling. Variabel penelitian pengalaman karies diukur dengan indeks DMFT, Kebutuhan perawatan karies adalah perhitungan kebutuhan perawatan berdasarkan penilaian persen kebutuhan perawatan dan kebutuhan perawatan periodontal diukur dengan indeks Community Periodontal Index and Treatment Needs (CPITN). Analisis data yang digunakan adalah distribusi frekuensi relatif. Hasil: Indeks DMFT ibu hamil 4,4 termasuk kriteria sangat rendah. Hasil CPITN yaitu periodontal sehat 0%; bleeding on probing (BOP), 43%; kalkulus, 53%; poket 4-5 mm, 3,3%; poket 6 mm, 0%. Kebutuhan perawatan gigi berlubang pada ibu hamil 30,9%. Kebutuhan perawatan jaringan periodontal diperlukan pada semua ibu hamil, berupa perbaikan oral hygiene 43%, perbaikan oral hygiene dan skeling 56%, Simpulan: Pengalaman karies ibu hamil pada kriteria sangat rendah, sedangkan kondisi jaringan periodontal ibu hamil semuanya memerlukan perawatan jaringan periodontal tetapi bukan perawatan periodontal kompleks. Kata kunci: Ibu hamil, indeks DMFT, indeks CPITN Caries experience, periodontal health, and oral treatment needs of pregnant women ABSTRACT Introduction: The oral health of pregnant women needs to be maintained to avoid infection of the teeth and gums. This effort will avoid dangerous infections that can cause premature and low birth weight babies. The purpose of this study was to determine the caries experience, periodontal health, and the oral treatment needs of pregnant women. Methods: The research method was descriptive. The study population was pregnant women who came to the Cantik Clinic of Banjaran, Bandung, whom willing to be the subject of research with no systemic abnormalities. The sampling technique was convenience sampling. The caries experience was measured by DMFT index. Caries treatment needs were the calculation of treatment needs based on the assessment of general and periodontal treatment needs to be measured by the Community Periodontal Index and Treatment Needs (CPITN) index. Data analysis used was the relative frequency distribution. Result: DMFT index of pregnant women was 4.4, included in the very low criteria. CPITN index measurement results were 0% healthy periodontal; 43% bleeding on probing (BOP); 53% calculus; 3.3% pocket of 4-5 mm; and 0% 6 mm pocket. General treatment needs of pregnant women mostly were tooth decay treatment (30.9%). Periodontal treatment needs were needed for all pregnant women, in th...
Many people favor coffee. However, regarding health and aesthetic dentistry, coffee gives a negative effect. Tanin in coffee causes a brown stain on the tooth surface. Therefore, in aesthetic dental care, teeth whitening has become popular matter. One of the natural ingredients used for teeth whitening treatment is strawberry. The purpose of this study was to obtained data regarding the effect of strawberry juice on the re-whitening process of the coffee-stained tooth enamel surface. This study was a pure experimental in-vitro using Friedman and Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Tests for statistical analysis. The population of this study was anterior teeth. The samples were maxillary central incisors. The sampling technique using sample size determination based on the testing formulas of the difference of two average data pairs resulted in 11 specimens. The result of the research showed that all coffee-stained teeth sample had an increasing enamel colour index. The samples were then applied with strawberry juice resulted in a significant average difference colour index value indicated by p<0.001. The conclusion of this research indicated that there was an effect of strawberry juice on the coffee-stained teeth rewhitening process.
Introduction. Empowerment is an organisational effort in increasing the willingness and ability of employees to be more independent in performing their duties. Employee leadership empowerment substantially increases motivation, performance, and commitment to the organisation. Leadership empowerment includes self-determination, competence, meaning, and impact. The purpose of this study was to determine the acceptance of leadership empowerment efforts for female employees in three dental hospitals in Bandung. Methods. A descriptive survey was conducted and the study population was dental hospitals in Bandung. The exclusion criteria were dental hospitals which unwillingly followed the research. The inclusion criteria were dental hospitals that have empowered female employees. The data collection technique was performed with total sampling. The research sample amounted to 102 people from three dental hospitals—all data were collected using a validated questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using relative frequency distribution. Results. Leadership empowerment for female employees in three dental hospitals in Bandung has been given by each. The highest acceptance of empowerment efforts for female employees was shown by employees of Dental Hospital of Jenderal Achmad Yani University, followed by Dental Hospital of Universitas Padjadjaran, and subsequently Dental Hospital of Maranatha Christian University.

Acceptance of leadership empowerment for female employees in three dental hospitals in Bandung has been demonstrated in each. Acceptance of leadership empowerment efforts in all subdimensions of empowerment needs to be improved, primarily related to self-determination.
Karies merupakan suatu penyakit infeksi dimana terjadi proses demineralisasi progresif pada jaringan keras gigi. Proses demineralisasi gigi dipengaruhi oleh pH asam pada mulut yang disebabkan oleh Streptococcus mutans. Tujuan peneltian adalah untuk menguji daya hambat dari ekstrak metanol nanas, belimbing wuluh, dan kemangi terhadap Streptococcus mutans sebagai bakteri yang berperan dalam proses pembentukan plak serta karies gigi. Metode: Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimental dengan cara meneteskan ekstrak metanol nanas, belimbing wuluh, dan kemangi, serta ekstrak kombinasi ketiganya yang telah diencerkan dengan pelarut dimetil sulfoksida (DMSO) ke dalam lubang sumuran pada lempeng agar Mueller Hinton yang telah ditanami Streptococcus mutans. Bakteri uji berupa Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175 yang diperiksa secara mikroskopis, ditanam pada lempeng agar Muller Hinton dan inkubasi dalam suasana fakultatif anaerob pada suhu 37OC selama 24 jam. Konsentrasi ekstrak yang diuji adalah 20.000 ppm, 10.000 ppm. 5.000 ppm, dan 1.000 ppm. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa ekstrak metanol nanas, belimbing wuluh, dan kemangi memiliki daya hambat terhadap Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175. Simpulan: Daya hambat yang terjadi pada bakteri disebabkan oleh kandungan zat aktif yang dimiliki nanas, belimbing wuluh, dan kemangi seperti enzim bromelain, flavonoid, tanin, alkaloid, triterpenoid, dan saponin.
