“…Cara mekanis menggunakan sikat gigi, sedangkan cara kimia menggunakan bahan kimia anti plak seperti pasta gigi, obat kumur dan permen karet xylitol (Fatimah, Widodo, & Adhani, 2017). Pengaruh permen karet xylitol sangat baik terhadap kesehatan mulut, beberapa negara telah merekomendasi kan penggunaan xylitol sebagai pengganti gula pada produk-produk makanan dan obat-obatan yang diproduksi, seperti permen karet, kembang gula, obat kumur, obat kunyah, dan pasta gigi (Zuliani, Nur, & Azzam, 2019) Xylitol memiliki efek anti ariogenik, sehingga dapat mengurangi daya lekat bakteri, mencegah demineralisasi enamel, karena pH rongga mulut tidak menurun, memiliki efek langsung menghambat Streptococcus mutans dan tidak dapat difermentasi oleh bakteri mulut sehingga Xylitol dapat mencegah kerusakan gigi (Praptiningsi, Amien, and Pratiwi, 2022). Untuk mengetahui hal tersebut maka dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk menilai indeks plak sebelum maupun sesudah mengonsumsi permen karet yang mengandung xylitol.…”

Teeth and mouth are part of the early stages of the digestive process. Teeth are located in the oral cavity which have several functions.Dental and oral health requires attention and is kept clean, including mechanical and chemical control so that it can carry out its functions properly.Poor dental cleaning can lead to plaque buildup and lead to tooth decay or gingivitis.Plaque is a bacterial biofilm structure that is well placed and adheres to the tooth surface. Plaque control measures can be achieved by using anti-plaque chemicals, namely xyilitol candy.Xylitol gum can reduce Streptococcus mutans because bacteria cannot metabolize xylitol into energy.The purpose of this study was to determine the plaque index before and after chewing gum containing xylitol and the relationship between before and after chewing xylitol gum. This type of research is experimental with a pre-post test design with total sampling.The results of this research from 25 respondents obtained before chewing xylitol gum there were 2 respondents who had good plaque criteria, after chewing xylitol gum there were 23 respondents who had good plaque criteria, the mean value was obtained 15.00 to 8.36, which means there is a decrease in score plaque index with a p-value of 0.004 there is a significant difference between before and after chewing xylitol gum.The conclusion of this study is that there is a decrease in the Denris index score after chewing xylitol gum and there is a significant difference between before and after chewing xylitol gum.

Background: Streptococcus mutans bacteria are the dominant cariogenic bacteria that can be found in dental caries and are able to survive and reproduce at low pH. Toothbrush storage is related to environmental humidity and existing bacteria. Bacterial growth is 70% higher in wet and closed environments, bacteria from the oral cavity can be carried on the toothbrush. Aim: This research is to produce a model for storing toothbrushes with ultraviolet-C against the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria. Materials and Method: Research with Research and Development (R&D) method with a quantitative approach with 5 stages, namely information gathering, model design, expert validation and revision, model trials, and model results. The design used is Randomize Pretest-Posttest with Control Group Design using 5, 10, and 15 minutes of ultraviolet-C treatment groups and a control group of toothbrushes stored standing without treatment using ultraviolet-C. Results: The results of model expert validation using the aiken-v test showed 0.810, meaning that all question items were declared valid. The ICC results show 0.000, meaning that the toothbrush storage model with ultraviolet-C is feasible as an effort to reduce the number of Streptococcus mutans bacterial colonies. Two-Way Anova results show 0.000, meaning that there is a significant time difference between the control group and the 5, 10, and 15 minute sterilization groups. Post-Hoc LSD results showed 0.000, meaning there was a significant difference in the 5, 10, 15 minute treatment group, and the control group. The Pearson Sig. (2-tailed) correlation result is 0.000, meaning that there is a significant relationship between the length of time and the number of Streptococcus mutans bacteria. The results of the bacterial repetition test showed that 15 minutes was the most effective time to kill Streptococcus mutans bacteria. The results showed that the average number of bacteria decreased by 74%, 86%, and 100% after using ultraviolet-C for 5, 10, and 15 minutes. Obtained showed that 15 minutes was the most effective for killing Streptococcus mutans bacteria. Conclusion: The results showed that the average number of bacteria decreased by 74%, 86%, and 100% after using ultraviolet-C for 5, 10, and 15 minutes. Developing a model for storing toothpaste with ultraviolet- C for 15 minutes is effective in reducing Streptococcus mutans bacteria. Keywords: Streptococcus mutans, toothbrush, Ultraviolet-C
