Halitosis is defined as an unpleasant odor that comes out of the mouth. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of zinc lactate mouthwash and tongue scraping on oral halitosis. The study was conducted on 60 volunteers that were divided into two groups and followed two types of 14-day oral hygiene protocols on a cross-over basis after a 7-day wash-out period. One protocol was based on tooth brushing only, while the other was based on additional mouth rinsing with a zinc lactate product and tongue scraping. Morning mouth breath was assessed organoleptic and by volatile sulfur compound concentrations. The highest mean organoleptic and volatile sulfur compound measurement values were found in the tooth brushing without mouth washing and tongue scraping oral hygiene protocol (p < 0.05). The zinc lactate mouthwash combined with tongue scraping appears to be an important hygienic procedure to reduce breath odor.

Elderly patients often find it challenging to remove plaque accumulated on the attachments of implant overdentures (IOD) using conventional cleaning instruments. Further, excessive plaque accumulation can lead to peri-implant diseases and occasionally to respiratory diseases. Therefore, here, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of waist-shaped interdental brushes (WIB) with that of straight-shaped ones (SIB) in plaque removal from the locator attachments of IOD. Twenty participants with two locator attachments retaining mandibular IOD participated in this study. After the baseline cleaning, the participants refrained from oral hygiene maintenance for 3 days. A dentist cleaned one of the attachments using the WIB and the other attachment using the SIB. The pre- and post-cleaning modified plaque index (mPLI) scores were recorded. Following another 3 days free from oral hygiene maintenance, the trained participants repeated the same cleaning procedure using the WIB and SIB. Pre- and post-cleaning mPLI scores were recorded. Regardless of the type of brush used, the post-cleaning mPLI scores were lower than the pre-cleaning ones. After the cleaning procedure, the overall mean mPLI score was lower in the WIB group than in the SIB group. The post-cleaning mPLI scores at the line-angles and on the axial surfaces of the attachments were also lower in the WIB group than in the SIB group. There was no difference in the cleaning effectiveness between the dentist and participants when they used the same type of interdental brush. The WIB was significantly more efficient in plaque removal than the SIB, especially at the line-angle sites.

Objectives: The present study was performed to compare the analgesic effects of bupivacaine and magnesium sulfate combination on post-cesarean (C) section pain. Materials and Methods: The present single-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 160 C-section candidates. The participants were randomly divided into four groups. When the fascia healed, the first group received 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine and the second group received 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine combined with subcutaneous adrenaline. In addition, both groups received 50 mL of intravenous normal saline. Further, the third group received subcutaneous bupivacaine and 50 mg/kg of magnesium sulfate and the fourth group received subcutaneous and intravenous normal saline as a placebo. The pain intensity was assessed 2, 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours after spinal anesthesia using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain. The dose of pethidine (as a standard analgesic) and hemodynamic parameters (i.e., heart rate [HR] and blood pressure [BP]) was recorded as well. The obtained data were then analyzed utilizing ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD, and repeated measures ANOVA tests. Results: The intensity of pain and the dose of pethidine decreased significantly in the combination of bupivacaine with magnesium compared to the other groups at all times (P < 0.001). However, diastolic BP significantly increased in the bupivacaine + adrenaline group in comparison with the other groups (P = 0.02). Conclusions: Overall, bupivacaine combination with magnesium sulfate is suitable for controlling post-cesarean section pain.

Latar belakang: Mulut kering atau Xerostomia merupakan produksi saliva yang berkurang mengakibatkan sebagian besar fungsi saliva tidak dapat berperan dengan baik sehingga dapat menimbulkan meningkatnya Halitosis. Halitosis adalah kata lain yang berasal dari halitus (udara yang dihembuskan) dan osis (perubahan patologis) Foetor oris, Oral malodor, Mouth odor, Bad breath, and Bad mouth odor adalah nama lain untuk menggambarkan halitosis. Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui pengaruh konsumsi bonggol nanas (Ananas comosus) terhadap penurunan kadar Halitosis pada penderita Hipertensi yang mengkomsumsi obat-obatan anti hipertensi. Tujuan: Mengetahui pengaruh konsumsi bonggol nanas (Ananas comosus) terhadap penurunan kadar Volatile sulfur compound (VSC) pada penderita hipertensi sekunder di puskesmas padongko. Bahan dan Metode: Metode True Exsperimental dengan menggunakan desain penelitian Pretest-Posttest. Objek penelitian yaitu penderita Hipertensi sekunder yang mengkonsumsi obat-obatan anti Hipertensi dengan jumlah 16 orang. Pengolahan data menggunakan SPSS versi 25 dengan menggunkan uji normalitas Shapiro-Wilk dan Selanjutnya di lakukan Uji Wilcoxon. Hasil: uji Wilcoxon dengan tingkat signifikansi P = 0,000 (< 0,05), Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada perbedaan skor kadar Volatile sulfur compound (VSC) pada penderita hipertensi sekunder dengan pemberian perlakuan konsumsi bonggol nanas (Ananas comosus). Kesimpulan: Ada pengaruh komsumsi Bonggol nanas (Ananas comosus) terhdap penurunan kadar Volatile sulfur compound (VSC) pada penderita Hipertensi sekunder.
