Salivary Ph

Pendahuluan: Derajat keasaman (pH) saliva merupakan faktor kunci utama keseimbangan demineralisasi dan remineralisasi gigi. Demineralisasi email terjadi pada keadaan pH <5,5 dan terjadi dalam waktu beberapa menit setelah asupan sukrosa. Saliva memiliki peran signifikan dalam proses meningkatkan pH rongga mulut sehubungan dengan kemampuan buffering, yaitu kandungan bikarbonat yang dapat menetralkan pH sehingga mencegah enamel gigi dari demineralisasi. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengukur atau menilai peranan keju Brie dalam menaikan pH saliva. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan eksperimental semu bersifat komparatif. Jumlah subjek penelitian adalah 32 orang yang dibagi menjadi kelompok perlakuan, yaitu mengonsumsi keju Brie dan kelompok kontrol, yaitu tidak mengonsumsi keju Brie. Subjek penelitian diukur nilai pH saliva awal dan akhir menggunakan pH test strip. Hasil: Rerata selisih nilai pH awal dan akhir pada kelompok perlakuan adalah sebesar 0,48 dan pada kelompok kontrol adalah sebesar -0,29. Rerata selisih pH saliva pada kelompok perlakuan, yaitu mengonsumsi keju Brie, lebih besar dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol, dengan perbedaan yang signifikan (p<0,05). Simpulan: Mengonsumsi keju Brie efektif dalam meningkatkan pH saliva.Kata kunci: Efektivitas, keju Brie, pH saliva ABSTRACTIntroduction: Salivary acidity degree (pH) is the main key factor in the balance of tooth demineralisation and remineralisation. Enamel demineralisation occurs at the pH < 5.5 and occurs within minutes after sucrose intake. Saliva has a significant role in the process of pH increase in the oral cavity due to the buffering ability, which is the bicarbonate content which able to neutralise the pH value to prevent tooth enamel demineralisation. The purpose of this study was to measure or assess the effect of Brie cheese consumption in raising the salivary pH. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental comparative. The number of research subjects was 32 people who were divided into treatment groups which consumed Brie cheese, and the control group which did not consume Brie cheese. Each research subject was measured the initial and final salivary pH values using a pH test strip. Results: The average difference in the initial and final pH values of the treatment group was 0.48, and in the control group was -0.29. The average difference of the salivary pH in the treatment group, which was consuming Brie cheese, was higher than the control group, with a significant difference (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Consuming Brie cheese is effective in increasing the salivary pH.Keywords: Effectiveness, Brie cheese, salivary pH

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has been widely known as a healthy drink since long time ago. One of the substances in green tea which can give health benefit is catechin, an antibacterial substance. The purpose of this research is to know the efficacy of rinsing with green tea extract to Streptococcus alpha growth on gingivitis patient’s dental plaque. The research subjects include 30 mild gingivitis patients, and these subjects are divided into two groups: treatment group (20 patients) and control group (10 patients). Ten patients of treatment group rinse their mouth with 0.25% green tea extract and 10 other patients with 0.5% green tea extract. Meanwhile, control group use Bactidol (0.1% Hexetidine). Rinsing the mouth is performed every morning and night for five days. Sampling is conducted on the first and sixth day. Before rinsing data is analyzed using ANOVA and the result shows a significant difference. ANAVA testing then is done using proportion value. ANAVA Testing result shows that there is no significant difference among the patients in the treatment group. This result indicates that the effect of rinsing with 0.25% and 0.5% green tea extract is equivalent to the control (0.1% Hexetidine) to inhibit S. alpha growth on mild gingivitis patient’s dental plaque. From these two concentrations, it has not been known which one is the most effective concentration to inhibit S. alpha growth on mild gingivitis patient.

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbiological and mechanical properties of glass ionomer cement (GIC) modified by chlorhexidine (CLX) for the purpose of cementing bands to the teeth of orthodontic patients. Materials and Methods Ten patients, between the ages of 19 and 33 years, in the initial stage of orthodontic treatment, were randomly designated to two groups using the split-mouth design (n = 10). One group (GICEX) had bands cemented with GIC modified by CLX and a Control group (GIC), evaluated at time intervals before (T0), 3 months (T3), and 6 months (T6) after cementation. Total microbiological counts were performed, and color stability of tooth enamel, salivary pH, and the adhesive remnant index (ARI) were evaluated. Statistical Analysis The Friedman and Dunn’s tests, Mann–Whitney, one-way analysis of variance, and Tukey, and paired and non-paired t-tests (p< 0.05) were used. Results In T3, there was evidence of significant reduction in the quantity of colony forming unit (CFU) in GICEX group in comparison with the Control (p = 0.041). In T6, the quantity of CFU was similar to the quantity in T3 and significantly different to control (p = 0.045); Control group demonstrated a similar quantity of CFU between the experimental time intervals (p = 0.066). Salivary pH demonstrated significant difference only between the time intervals T0 and T6 (p = 0.022). The tooth enamel color (p = 0.366) and ARI (p = 0.343) values demonstrated no significant changes. Conclusion The incorporation of CLX into GIC demonstrated effective antibacterial action, allowed a good bond of the cement to the enamel, a high rate of survival of the bands, did not change the color of the tooth enamel, and maintained the salivary pH at physiological levels.

AbstractWe investigated the efficacy of donepezil for mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease (PD-MCI). This was a prospective, non-randomized, open-label, two-arm study. Eighty PD-MCI patients were assigned to either a treatment or control group. The treatment group received donepezil for 48 weeks. The primary outcome measures were the Korean version of Mini-Mental State Exam and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores. Secondary outcome measures were the Clinical Dementia Rating, Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale part III, Clinical Global Impression scores. Progression of dementia was assessed at 48-week. Comprehensive neuropsychological tests and electroencephalography (EEG) were performed at baseline and after 48 weeks. The spectral power ratio of the theta to beta2 band (TB2R) in the electroencephalogram was analyzed. There was no significant difference in the primary and secondary outcome measures between the two groups. However, the treatment group showed a significant decrease in TB2R at bilateral frontotemporoparietal channels compared to the control group. Although we could not demonstrate improvements in the cognitive functions, donepezil treatment had a modulatory effect on the EEG in PD-MCI patients. EEG might be a sensitive biomarker for detecting changes in PD-MCI after donepezil treatment.

BACKGROUND: Cervicogenic headache (CGH) is a common condition that results in significant disability. To treat this dysfunction, Mulligan described sustained natural apophyseal gliders (SNAGs) as a manual therapy approach. However, only inconclusive short-term evidence exists for treating CGH with SNAGs. OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to investigate the effect of SNAGs in the treatment of CGH. METHODS: Fourty female patients ranging from 20 to 40 years with CGH were randomly assigned to two groups: 20 in a treatment group and 20 in a control group. SNAGs were applied to the treatment group while the control group received placebo treatment. Both groups received their respective treatment for 20 minutes, alternately three times per week, for a total of 12 times in four weeks. The outcome measures were the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Participants were assessed at baseline and at the end of each week. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Independent t-testing was used to reveal changes between groups. One-way ANOVA was used to determine changes within groups. The level of significance was P< 0.05. RESULTS: Twenty participants (100%) in the treatment group and 17 (85%) in the control group had a history of headache aggravation with active movements or passive head positioning. There was no significant difference at baseline (p> 0.05), indicating that both groups were homogeneous at the time of recruitment. The p value (p< 0.05) showed a significant difference in pain and level of disability at three and four weeks (p< 0.05) in patients treated with SNAGs. However, the cervical range of motion (ROM) showed a statistically significant improvement in flexion and extension in the treatment group (p< 0.05) while there was no significant improvement in side flexion and rotation ROM in both groups (p> 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study found that SNAGs were effective in reducing pain and neck disability and improved ROM in females with CGH.
