Background: The aim of this single-use, four-treatment, four-period (visit), cross-over, mono-centered, examiner-blind, cross-over randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to evaluate the efficacy in dental plaque removal of a U-shaped automatic electric toothbrush (U) compared to a conventional powered toothbrush (P), a habitual toothbrushing procedure (H), and no brushing (N). Methods: Eligible participants were volunteer students. Primary outcome measure was the reduction in full-mouth plaque score (FMPS) after brushing. The secondary outcome variable was a visual analogic scale (VAS) on subjective clean mouth sensation. Mixed models were performed for difference in FMPS and VAS. Results: Twenty-two participants were randomized to the treatments in the four periods of the study. The differences between treatments in FMPS reduction after brushing were statistically significant (p < 0.0001). The differences were statistically significant between the U and P groups (difference −48; 95% CI from −54 to −41) favoring the P group, and between the U and H groups (difference −45; 95% CI from −52 to −39) favoring the H group. On the contrary, the difference between the U and N groups was not significant (difference 5; 95% CI from −2 to 12) favoring the U group. The differences between treatments in clean mouth VAS was statistically significant (p < 0.0001) favoring the P and H groups. Conclusions: The U-shaped automatic electric toothbrush tested in this study proved to be not effective in removing dental plaque.

Soil of tropical forest ecosystem plays very crucial part in controlling the universal carbon cycle. The isolation of microorganisms and their identification are important for understanding their vital role on transformation of organic matter of this ecosystem. Soil storage maximum microbial genetic diversity because of it’s a multilayered environment. No complete methods were discovered yet to cultivate majority of soil microorganisms. A little is known about microbial structure and their essentiality in tropical peat lands compared to most other terrestrial and oceanic habitats. In providing insight to the impacts of land-use of peat land on microbes in Central Kalimantan, Borneo Indonesia, we examined the community structure and diversity of bacteria and fungi in different peat forest soil including: i) natural peat swamp forest (well mixed swamp forest type); ii) disturbed peat soil and iii) mineral soils by using 454 pyrosequencing technology. The results showed that no significant difference was found for diversity and evenness among the sites of fungal community. However, natural peat swamp forest had the highest species richness (Chao1), which was significantly higher than the other two sites (P<0.05 and P<0.05). According to the OTUs analysis four fungi phyla were obtained of which 45 species were classified. The Ascomycota was the most abundant phylum, followed by Basidiomycota, Zygomycota and Glomeromycota. The natural peat swamp forest and disturbed peat soil harbored the maximum number Ascomycota. On the other hand, mineral soil and natural peat soil contained the highest number of Basidiomycota. The top species in natural peat swamp forest included Sugiyamaella paludigena, Polyancora globosa and Ganoderma gibbosum. The mineral soil enriched the abundance of Penicillium herquei, Sugiyamaella paludigena and the disturbed peat soil contained the highest frequency of Polyancora globosa, Gymnopilus lepidotus. According to the PCoA analysis, the community structure of fungus in natural peat soil differed significantly from mineral soil (P=0.04) and disturbed peat soil (P=0.039). No significant difference was found for bacterial species richness (Chao1) among the sites. The diversity of bacteria in disturbed peat soil significantly differed from the other sites (P<0.05 and P<0.05). eleven bacterial phyla and 53 genera were examined. All of the three sites contained the similar abundance of Proteobacteria. The natural peat swamp forest and disturbed peat soil harbored the most abundant Acidobactria. Genera Mycobacterium, Gp1, Gp13, Gp2, Burkholderia, Actinospica, Aciditerrimonas were found in all the sites. Genera Granulibacter, Gp4, Acidisoma, Clostridium_sensu, Clostridium_ XI were only observed in natural peat swamp forest. Genera Rudaea, Rhodopila, Streptomycetes were found only mineral soil. The PCoA analysis showed that the structure of bacteria in natural peat swamp forest significantly differed from the disturbed peat soil (P=0.045). Overall, the bacterial species richness and diversity are more among the sites than of the fungi. J. Biodivers. Conserv. Bioresour. Manag. 2019, 5(1): 133-144

Purpose This study aims to investigate the effect of upgrading from the fine structure processing (FSP) coding strategy to the novel fine structure strategy “FS4” in adults in adults with cochlear implants manufactured by MED-EL GmbH (Innsbruck, Austria). Method A crossover, double-blinded study was conducted for 12 weeks. Twelve adult participants were randomly assigned to two groups. During the first 6-week test interval, one group continued to use their everyday FSP strategy, whereas the other group was upgraded to the FS4 strategy. In the second 6-week interval, the two groups switched coding strategies. Speech perception was measured at the end of each test interval with the Oldenburg Sentence Test and the Göttingen Sentence Test. Participants completed the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale at the end of each test interval and a simple preference test at the end of the study. Results There was no significant difference in speech perception test results obtained with the Oldenburg Sentence Test and the Göttingen Sentence Test, neither in quiet nor in noise. Participants' Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale self-evaluation and preference test results showed that the two coding strategies had similar effects on their hearing perception. No clear preference for either of the strategies was found. Conclusions Speech perception test results and the participants' level of satisfaction were similar for the two FS coding strategies. Despite differences in the presentation of temporal fine structure between FSP and FS4, a clear benefit of the newer FS4 strategy could not be shown.

Background: Dental plaque is a soft, structured, calcified layer of bacteria that accumulates and attaches to the surface of the tooth. Efforts are made to eliminate and prevent plaque on the surface of the tooth by plaque control. Plaque control can be done mechanically, chemically, or a combination of both. Chemical control is done by using toothpaste. Catechin gambier toothpaste are polyphenolic compounds that have antibacterial activity which can prevent adhesion, inhibit the enzyme activity of glucosyltransferase and kills plaque forming bacteria. Objective: To determine the effect of catechin gambier on decreasing dental plaque index. Methods: This study is a true experimental study with pre-test and post-test control group design, conducted in March – April 2019. The subjects of this study were 44 students of Faculty of Dentistry, Andalas University. The subjects were divided into two groups, one group used catechin gambier toothpaste and an control group used placebo. Plaque index was calculated using an Turesky-Gilmore-Glickman of Quingley-Hein. Data was analyzed by t-test. Results: Average of dental plaque index in treatment group was higher than placebo group. Independent t-test showed that there was significant difference of dental plaque index beetwen two groups (p<0,001). Conclusion: Catechin gambier toothpaste can reduce dental plaque index.

During the 2020-2021 years, it has been necessary for organizations to rethink how they conduct their daily operations in light of COVID-19 restrictions. One of the many activities within organizations is to provide new and recurrent training to their employees. In a similar vein, universities also had to make adaptations to instructional methods. This change provided an opportunity to compare student achievement in two different instructional modalities; one with lectures delivered in a full face-to-face format, and the other with recorded video lectures delivered in online platform. Both formats were conducted in morning and afternoon sessions. Three sets of test results were measured to compare the outcomes between two years. This study had mixed results, two of the three test results sets between the years showed no significant difference between face-to-face and recorded video lectures, while one of the three test results provided evidence that the results were different between instructional methods. The results of this study could provide applicable information to organizations and help to provide a roadmap for providing training in different formats. It is noteworthy that providing instruction in recorded video formats could be less expensive to organizations and also provide more flexibility for employees to fit recurrent t into their daily schedules.

Introduction: Most of the mentally retarded children may not brush their tooth correctly. They need parents or caregivers to help and supervise the tooth brushing process to reduce the accumulation of dental plaque which may lead to oral diseases. This research was aimed to analyse the most effective toothbrush between parents’ toothbrush and regular toothbrush on children with mental retardation. Methods: This research was quasi-experimental with the blind method. Twenty-nine students with mental retardation consisted of boys and girls of YPLB Cipaganti Special Needs School-C (SLB-C) were selected with total sampling. Each individual was divided randomly and being given the parents’ toothbrush and regular toothbrush. Parents were responsible for brushing their children’s teeth during the period of the study. Plaque scoring was performed on the seventh day. The wash-out period was initiated after the seventh day for one week. Each group was given a different toothbrush from their first toothbrush, and the plaque scoring was performed on the first and seventh day. Plaque scoring was assessed using the Greene Vermillion Index. The data obtained were tested with the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: An average difference of plaque index before and after using parents’ toothbrush was 0.3, and the average difference of plaque index before and after using a regular toothbrush was 0.4. There was no significant difference in plaque index changes between these two toothbrushes (p-value > 0.05). Conclusion: Two types of toothbrushes, which are parents’ toothbrush and regular toothbrush are able to reduce plaque.

Abstract Introduction: The present study aimed to assess the presence of main types of microorganisms involved in the aetiopathogenesis of chronic periodontitis with PCR technique and determinates the presence of composite IL-1 genotype and their associations with founded bacteria. Material and method: The examined group was consisted from 20 subjects with diagnosed chronic periodontitis and 20 healthy control without periodontitis. Clinical parameters like gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), periodontal pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment lost (CAL) were determinates. Subgingival dental plaque was collected using a sterilized paper point. We used Parodontose Plus test, reverse hybridization kit, for the detection of periodontal marker bacteria, as well as for the detection of composite Interleukin -1 Genotype Results: The most present bacterial species detected from subgingival dental plaque was Treponema denticola and Porfiromonas gingivalis which was present in 65% of examined patients. In relation to the presence of positive genotype in patients, there was no significant difference between the test and control group for p> 0.05 (p = 1.00). For χ2=8,17 (p=0,06, p<0,05) there is an association between Prevotella intermedia, and composite genotype. Between positive genotype and analyzed bacterial species A. actinomycetem comitans for p> 0.05 (p = 1.00), P. gingivalis for p> 0.05 (p = 0.16), T. Forsythia for p> 0.05 (p = 0.20), T. Denticola for p> 0.05 (p = 0.64) no association was found. Conclusion. This investigations confirmed the strong association of these five examined periopathogenes with periodontitis.

The Impact

Erosive tooth wear (ETW) refers to the chemical dissolution of mineralized tissues by acids of non-bacterial origin. It occurs in the primary as well as the permanent dentition. In this study, our objectives were to investigate and compare the impact of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), essential oils (EO), and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) on ETW protection produced by conventional fluoride kinds of toothpaste. A clinically relevant in-vitro erosion/abrasion pH cycling model was employed to test the effect of the aforementioned mouthwashes on modulating the ability of NaF and SnF2 types of toothpaste. The mean dentin surface loss associated with NaF toothpaste was significantly lower than for the SnF2 toothpaste. On the other hand, enamel surface loss with SnF2 toothpaste was significantly lower than for the NaF toothpaste. Also, the surface loss of erosion was significantly higher when associated with abrasion than without brushing and for both enamel and dentin. There was no significant difference in the surface loss among all types of mouthwash. Commonly used types of mouthwash containing antimicrobial agents or additional fluoride do not impact fluoride toothpaste action on erosion/abrasion. Also, considering erosion only, the tested SnF2 dentifrice provided better protection against surface loss of enamel than the other.
