“…Consuming and drinking carbohydrates too often would cause tooth enamel will not to have the opportunity to remineralize completely. Infants or children who are still fed breast milk, formula milk, or a mixture of the two until the age of 13 months tend to have a risk of caries, especially if they have dietary habits associated with cariogenic foods (Edelstein et al 2009;, Anil and Anand 2017).…”

The potential benefits of local food derived from rebon shrimp (Acetes sp.) as a preventive measure for dental caries are described in this study, which focused on Bagan Serdang village. Situated in the coastal area of Pantai Labu subdistrict, Deli Serdang Regency, this village relies mainly on fisheries for income resources, with rebon shrimp being one of the leading marine products. The high abundance of calcium in rebon shrimp is well-known, with 2,306 mg of shrimp paste equivalent to 16 times the calcium content of 100 g of dietary milk. This preliminary study aimed to investigate the potential of rebon shrimp as a preventive measure for dental caries in school children aged 8-12 years from public elementary school 106448 in Bagan Serdang village. The study utilized Cariogram software to assess caries risk factors, including caries experience, pH and saliva secretion, plaque index, diet contents and frequency, fluoride exposure program, and clinical judgment. Atomic Absorbed Spectrophotometer (AAS) method was used to measure salivary calcium ions. In addition, the calcium content in rebon shrimp was measured in the laboratory of the industrial research center in Medan. The concentration of salivary calcium ions was found to be very low, with a mean of 0.75±0.32 mmol/L. The Cariogram assessment revealed a high caries risk of 54.12% among elementary school children. The laboratory results showed that dried rebon shrimp had a calcium content of 1.50% (w/w), while fresh rebon shrimp had a calcium content of 1.54% (w/w). Given the high prevalence and caries risk profile of elementary school children in Bagan Serdang village, the study suggests that the low concentration of salivary calcium ions and the high availability of calcium-enriched rebon shrimp can be used as a preventive strategy against dental caries in this population.

“…Peningkatan pengetahuan mengenai kesehatan gigi sangat penting dilakukan agar anak usia prasekolah dapat melakukan ketrampilan dalam memelihara kesehatan giginya secara mandiri (Fauzi et al, 2022). Pencegahan terjadinya karies gigi pada anak dapat dilakukan dengan melakukan praktik kebersihan mulut yang baik, penggunaan pasta gigi berflorida serta menghindari makanan yang kariogenik (Edelstein et al, 2015). Langkah lain untuk mencegah karies gigi adalah dengan cara melakukan pemeriksaan gigi secara rutin minimal 6 bulan sekali ke dokter gigi (Chandna & Adlakha, 2010).…”

Kurangnya kesadaran dan pengetahuan anak serta orang tua mengenai kesehatan gigi, dapat meningkatkan kejadian karies gigi pada anak. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah untuk memberikan pengetahuan serta ketrampilan mengenai kesehatan gigi. Kegiatan pengabdian Masyarakat dilakukan di TK Santa Elisabeth dan diikuti oleh 21 orang siswa yang terdiri dari 8 siswa TK A dan 13 siswa TK B. Hasil kegiatan didapatkan, dari 8 siswa TK A didapatkan sebanyak 7 (82,5%) siswa dapat memahami dengan baik dan dapat mempraktekkan kembali langkah-langkah menggosok gigi dengan benar serta dari 13 siswa TK B didapatkan sebanyak 10 anak (91%) mampu mempraktekan langkah- langkah menggosok gigi dengan benar. Salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan untuk mendorong kesehatan gigi anak adalah dengan memberikan nasihat kepada orang tua mengenai cara menjaga Kesehatan mulut serta kebiasaan menyikat gigi secara teratur pada anak. Seluruh kegiatan PKM dapat berjalan dengan baik dan lancar.

Background:The role of cytokines as a marker in the oral inflammatory process in ECC has not been fully explored before and after full mouth rehabilitation.Aims:The aim of this study was to assess the level of salivary interleukin-6 (IL-6) in children with ECC and to compare its levels before and after comprehensive full mouth rehabilitation.Methods and Materials:Saliva samples were collected from children with ECC prior to dental treatment and 3-month post treatment. The salivary IL-6 levels were analyzed using the ELISA method. The gingival index was also timely recorded. Oral health awareness sessions were conducted for children and their parents at regular intervals during the 3-month study period. Statistical analysis used: Wilcoxon Signed Rank test compared the levels of salivary IL-6 while, the paired t test compared the values of gingival index before and after treatment.Results:The mean level of salivary IL-6 before and 3 months after treatment had reduced and this reduction was statistically significant (P < 0.000). The gingival index scores had also reduced significantly 3-months post treatment (P < 0.002).Conclusions:Children with ECC when completely rehabilitated and kept under frequent follow up, which includes reinforcement of oral hygiene measures and maintaining a low caries activity state, the level of inflammation (IL-6) can definitely be minimized and thereby improving the quality of life of affected children.
