"Latar Belakang: Gingivitis merupakan penyakit periodontal dengan prevalensi paling tinggi di Indonesia. Penyebab utama terjadinya gingivitis adalah akumulasi plak dan tingkat kebersihan rongga mulut yang rendah. Manifestasi klinis gingivitis dapat berupa eritema, edema, perdarahan, dan ulserasi pada gingiva tanpa disertai adanya kehilangan perlekatan periodontal. Secara mikroskopis, ditemukan perubahan flora normal dan infeksi bakteri nonspesifik pada gingivitis. Kerusakan jaringan pada gingivitis bersifat reversibledengan adanya penghilangan plak dan peningkatan kebersihan rongga mulut. Mekanisme penghilangan plak dapat dilakukan secara mekanis dan kimiawi. Cara mekanis seperti scalingdan menyikat gigi merupakan metode utama penghilangan plak. Metode kimiawi seperti penggunaan obat kumur yang mengandung bahan aktif merupakan terapi tambahan yang efektif, terutama dalam membersihkan area di rongga mulut yang tidak terjangkau oleh pembersihan secara mekanis. Propolis merupakan salah satu bahan alami di bidang kesehatan yang memiliki sifat antiplak dan antibakteri. Obat kumur propolis dinilai memberikan efek terhadap plak dan gingivitis secara klinis serta jumlah koloni bakteri nonspesifik pada plak. Tujuan: Mengetahui efek obat kumur yang mengandung propolis terhadap plak dan gingivitis secara klinisserta jumlah koloni bakteri nonspesifik pada plak.Metode: Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan metode eksperimental klinis. Sebanyak 20 orang sukarelawan gingivitis berusia 18-30 tahun berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Subjek dibagi menjadi kelompok uji dan kelompok kontrol dengan pembagian 10 orang kelompok uji berkumur dengan obat kumur propolis dan 10 orang kelompok kontrol berkumur dengan obat kumur tanpa bahan aktif. Pada awal penelitian, dilakukan scaling, penyuluhan, pengukuran awal PI dan PBI, serta pengambilan sampel plak untuk penghitungan jumlah koloni bakteri. Setelah berkumur selama 14 hari, dilakukan kembali pengukuran PI dan PBI serta pengambilan sampel plak untuk penghitungan jumlah koloni bakteri.Hasil: Hasil penilaian statistik menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan bermakna rata-rata penurunan PBI antara kelompok uji dan kelompok kontrol. (sig< 0,05 , selisih R_PBI= 0.3724). Rata-rata penurunan PI kelompok uji lebih besar dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (selisih R_PI= 0.3665), begitu juga dengan rata-rata penurunan jumlah koloni bakteri aerob dan anaerob (selisih R_Aerob = 90.6 , selisih R_Anaerob= 40) walaupun tidak bermakna secara statistik (sig> 0,05).Kesimpulan: Berkumur dengan obat kumur propolis efektif terhadap perdarahan papilla dibandingkan dengan berkumur dengan obat kumur tanpa aktif. Berkumur dengan obat kumur propolis dapat menurunkan rata-rata PI serta rata-rata jumlah koloni bakteri aerob dan anaerob pada plak, walaupun tidak bermakna secara statistik.Kata kunci: Gingivitis, propolis, obat kumur, bakteri nonspesifik pada plak

Background: Gingivitis has the highest prevalence among the other periodontal diseases in Indonesia. The main causes of gingivitis are dental plaque accumulation and low oral hygiene level in patients. Clinically, gingivitis could appear as edema, bleeding, and ulceration without any loss of attachment. There are shifting of normal floras and certain periodontal pathogens found in gingivitis microscopically. Tissue damage in gingivitis is reversible with the presence of adequate plaque removal and an increase in patientsoral hygiene level. Dental plaque removal could be done mechanically and chemically. The mechanical methods like toothbrushing and scaling are the main method, whereas the use of chemical like mouthwash is an adjunctive therapy which shows efficacy. The use of mouthwash with active ingredients could cleanse area in the mouth that could not be reached through mechanical methods. Propolis is one of the natural ingredients commonly studied and used in dentistry because of the antibacterial and antiplaque effects it has. Propolis containing mouthwash could give effects on dental plaque and gingivitis clinically, along with the total count of nonspecific bacteria present in dental plaque.Objectives: To assess the effect of propolis containing mouthwash on dental plaque and gingivitis clinically along with the total count of nonspecific bacteria present in dental plaque.Methods:This study is completed using clinical experimental method. There are 20 volunteers with age interval 18-30 years old who participated in this research. Twenty subjects are divided into two groups with the same numbers, which is 10 subjects each groups. The first group is the test group which use propolis containing mouthwash, whereas the other one is placebo group which use mouthwash without any active ingredients. Scaling, dental health education, measurement of plaque index and papillary bleeding index, and plaque sample collection for bacteria assessment were done in the beginning of this study. After using mouthwash for 14 days, there were second measurement of plaque index and papillary bleeding index along with plaque sample collection for bacteria assessment.Results: Statistic showed there is significant difference (sig< 0.05, mean differences = 0.3724) of papillary bleeding index among the two groups. Mean score of plaque index in the test group showed greater reduction than the placebo group (mean differences = 0.3665) and nean score of total bacteria count in the test group showed higher reduction than the placebo group (mean differences of aerob bacteria = 90.6 , mean differences of anaerob bacteria = 40) though there werent any significant difference present statistically (sig>0.05).Conclusion: The use of propolis containing mouthwash showed better effect on papillary bleeding index compared to the use of mouthwash without any active ingredients. The use of propolis containing mouthwash could reduce mean scores of plaque index and the numbers of aerob and anaerob bacteria present in dental plaque, though there werent any statistical significance shown.Keywords: Gingivitis, propolis, mouthwash, nonspecific bacterial plaque"

Samples were chosen by stratified simple random sampling. The obtained data were analyzed with Bivariant Test (Chi2Ttest), and the results showed a quite high prevalence of ANUG, about 15.3% in total and consisting of 9% male and 6.3% female subjects. The correlation between oral hygiene and the onset of ANUG was found to be significant (p<0.05). It was concluded that oral hygiene has an important contribution to the onset of ANUG."

"Latar Belakang: Penyebab utama gingivitis adalah akumulasi plak berisi mikroorganisme yang melekat kuat pada permukaan gigi dan tidak bisa hilang dengan dibilas. Oleh karena itu, perlu bantuan mekanis yaitu menyikat gigi dengan pasta gigi dan kimiawi yaitu berkumur dengan obat kumur untuk eliminasi plak. Penambahan bahan alami seperti propolis dalam pasta gigi dan obat kumur diharapkan efektif terhadap penyakit periodontal karena ada sifat antibakteri dan antiinflamasi. Tujuan: Menganalisis efek obat kumur dan pasta gigi propolis UI terhadap indeks plak, perdarahan papila, gingiva, dan koloni bakteri aerob dan anaerob serta membandingkannya dengan penggunaan pasta gigi dan obat kumur nonpropolis. Metode: Penelitian ini terdiri dari 18 subjek yang diinstruksikan untuk menyikat gigi dua kali sehari dan berkumur setelah sikat gigi menggunakan pasta gigi dan obat kumur yang ditentukan selama 14 hari. Pemeriksaan subjek dilakukan sebelum dan sesudah penggunaan pasta gigi dan obat kumur dengan mengevaluasi indeks plak, perdarahan papila, dan gingiva. Sampel plak diambil dari permukaan bukal gigi insisif atas sebelum dan sesudah perlakukan untuk dievaluasi kuantitas bakteri aerob dan anaerob. Data kemudian dianalisis secara statistik menggunakan uji Paired t-test, Wilcoxon, Independent T-test, atau Mann Whitney. Hasil: Terdapat perbedaan bermakna sebelum dan sesudah penggunaan obat kumur dan pasta gigi propolis terhadap indeks perdarahan papila (p = 0,007) dan jumlah bakteri anaerob (p = 0,028). Namun, tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna terhadap indeks plak, gingiva, dan jumlah bakteri aerob (p≥0,05). Kesimpulan: Pasta gigi dan obat kumur propolis UI memiliki efek dalam mencegah dan menyembuhkan gingivitis sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai bahan aktif dalam obat kumur dan pasta gigi.Backgrounds: The main cause of gingivitis is the accumulation of plaque containing microorganisms which stays on the teeth surface and cannot be rinsed off. Therefore, mechanical cleaning like toothbrushing with toothpastes and chemical cleaning using mouthwashes are needed for plaque elimination. The addition of natural products which is propolis in toothpastes and mouthwashes is expected to have an effect towards periodontal disease because of its antibacterial and antiinflamation properties. Aim: to analyze the effect of mouthwashes and toothpastes containing propolis on plaque index (PI), papilary bleeding index (PBI), gingival index (GI), and colony of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria compare to the use of nonpropolis toothpastes and mouthwashes. Methods: Eighteen subjects were used in this study. Subjects were asked to brush their teeth twice a day and followed by gargling using propolis or nonpropolis toothpastes and mouthwashes for 14 days. The patients were examined before and after using toothpastes and mouthwashes to evaluate plaque index (PI), papilary bleeding index (PBI), and gingival index (GI). Plaque samples were collected from buccal surface upper incisors before and after using toothpastes and mouthwashes for aerobic and anaerobic bacterial counts. Data collected were analyzed statistically using Paired t-test or Wilcoxon and Independent T-test or Mann Whitney. Results: There was statistically difference between before and after in papilary bleeding index (p = 0.007) and anaerobic bacteria counts (p =0.028). Meanwhile, there were no statistically difference on plaque index, gingival index, and aerobic bacteria counts. (p≥0,05). Conclusion: The use of propolis toothpastes and mouthwashes at the same time have an effect against gingivitis so it can be used as an active property in toothpastes and mouthwashes."

"In Dental health community programmes there are several kind of efficiency application patron such as in dental health programme worthy to do, like comparing various alternatives procedures in a dental health programmes. Cost effectiveness analysis (CEA) is becoming increasingly popular as society moved toward rationalizing dental health cost to optimalized programmes. CEA compares the cost of procedure with its effectiveness, thus helping an administrator to judge wether the procedur is worth its cost. CEA also permit comparison of various interventions that result in a similar dental health outcome. A major benefit of CEA is that it forces decision maker to confront the trade-offs implicit in all decision regarding alternative approaches. Caries dentist and gingivitis are still a serious oral health problem to solve especially for primary school student. Curative effort is relative more expansive, so it was chosen alternative for preventing caries must be together with preventing gingivitis. The purpose of the research is getting the cost effective model of preventive caries and gingivitis for a primary school student at DKI Jakarta. The opportunity cost of alternative model preventive caries and gingvitis intervention such a modern dentistry approach (Fissure Scalant and Oral hygiene Instruction procedures by the dentist) to compare against model rutinne intervention approach (flouride mouthrinsing and ART procedures by the full time dentist or by the dentist together with teachers) along with the relative effectiveness of preventive treatment. In this quasi experimental research with multistage randomized designed we use responden of all primary school student in DKI Jakarta for two different treatment group. Fissure Sealant and Oral hygiene Instruction procedures by the Dentist were judge to be more cost effective than flouride mouthrinsing and ART procedures by the dentist together with teachers or by the full time dentist."
