Introduction: Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body and serves as the wearresistant outer layer of the dental crown. Demineralization releases mineral ions which causes a decrease in the enamel surface hardness. Demineralization can be neutralized to recover minerals, and this process is called remineralization. Almond milk is an alternative to cow’s milk, supporting tooth enamel …
THE EFFECT OF PASTEURIZED HOLSTEIN AND JERSEY COW’S MILK FOR EMAIL HARDNESS Rida Agustia Ningsih Dentistry Program Medical Faculty of Sriwijaya University ABSTRACT Background: Email was the hardest part of teeth. Email composed of minerals that can be released from the tooth surface when the pH of the oral cavity was below 5,5. The decrease in pH could lead to a demineralization process. Alte…
The first food consumed by babies is human milk and infant formula milk. Milk is very important in the child’s growth like for development of bone and teeth forming. Besides that, milk also has a potential cariogenic because it contains lactose and sucrose that can be fermentated by the main the bacteria causing caries, Streptococcus mutans. An experimental laboratory about difference the inf…
One way of demineralization is by increasing the resistance of tooth structure. That is by increasing email hardness and email durability by acidic challenge. One of material that can prevent demineralization is casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP Recaldent ™ ). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of application of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calci…
Tooth decay is defined as a microbiologist infection of tooth that caused dissolution and damage of calcification tissue. Dissolve of mineralized tooth structure occurs upon contact with acids that are introduced into the oral cavity from intrinsic (e.g., gastroesophageal reflux, vomiting) or extrinsic sources (acidic beverages). Cacao is plants contain theobromine that can increase risen of de…
Teeth is one part of the body that serves to chew, speak and mainiain the shape of the face, so it is important to maintain healthy teeth as early as possible in order to survive longer in the mouth. According to the Profil Kesehatan Kota Palembang in 2014, the prevalence of caries children under the age of 12 years in Palembang w as 45.19%. The high prevalence of dental caries in children coul…
Disturbance in dental development (timing or sequence of eruption) may contribute to a chain of complications such as malocclusions, crowding, impaired oral hygiene, periodontal disease, and associated dental anda arthodontic treatment needs. Nutritional status has one of important role in the timing eruption. Measurement of the nutritional status that most widely used is the body mass index (B…
Atraumatic Restorative Trealment (ART) is a technigue for treating dental caries using hand instruments to clean dental cavities. Glass Ionomer Cement are restorative materials used in this technique (GIC ART). Some researchers have modified GIC with antimicrobial agents such as chlorhexidine. Compressive strength is important in many restorative dental materials. This study aimed to determine …
Sereh wangi (Cymbopogon nardus L.) is a traditional plants which contains alkaloid, saphonin, pholifenol, flavonoid and essential oil. Based on previous studies had known that sereh wangi has antibacterial activity to Streptococcus mutans and Staphylococcus aureus. Antibacterial is an ideal characteristic of root canal irrigation materials. The aim of the study was to identify the antibacterial…
Routine toothbrushing is the principal method by which individuals to reduce plcique accumulation and control plaque related diseases, such as periodontitis and caries. Duration of toothbrushing is one of the important factors which influence the effectiveness of toothbrushing. The use of music intend that the subject can perform toothbrushing more enjoy so the plaque accumulatin reduced. The m…
Mucocele and ranula are common oral mucosal lesion originating in salivary gland. Mucocele is a swelling caused by the accumulation of saliva that is obstructed minor salivary gland tract. Mucocele occur at any location in minor salivary gland but more often found on the lower lip. Ranula is a swelling caused by obstructed mayor salivary gland tract from sublingual gland or submandubula gland. …
Introduction: Decreased sensitivity is reduced sweet taste sensitivity to sweet tongue, so that the tongue can not detect sweet taste properly. One reason is Sodium Lauryl Sulphate contained in toothpaste. Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is a function anionic surfactant lowers the surface tension, emulsify (dissolve fat) and gives the foam so that the removal of plaque, debris, material alba and food sc…
Background: Temporary restoration materials is used when the treatment cannot be finis hed in one visi t. Such as root canal treatmen, inlay/onlay. Purpose: To know whether there are any dijferences in compressive strength and disintegration between fletcher, caviton and IRM as a control. That are stored in artificial salivafor 1 hour, 1,3,7,14 days. Method: This research a laboratoric eksperim…
Decreasing salivary pH due to acid fermentation of carbohydrates by oral bacteria causing demineralisation of tooth enamel. Snack foods that consumed between meals are containing high sugar, salt and fat but low nutrient. Children likes eating snack, especially sugary snacks. One of the way to prevent decreasing salivary pH after consuming carbohydrate containing foods is to consume foods that …
Hidrogen peroksida 35% merupakan bahan pemutih gigi yang bersifat oksidator. Penggunaan bahan tersebut dapat menimbulkan efek menurunkan kekerasan email yang disebabkan oleh berkurangnya kandungan mineral. Bahan remineralisasi yang biasa digunakan pasca bleaching adalah gel sodium fluoride 2%. Selain sodiumfluoride 2% terdapat senyawa lain yang berperan dalam meningkatkan remineralisasi yaitu t…
Fluor telah sejak lama diklaim sebagai bahan yang memiliki banyak manfaat bagi dunia kedokteran gigi. Melalui berbagai macam jenis dan metode aplikasi, fluor terbukti dapat meningkatkan ketahanan email terhadap demineralisasi oleh asam. Gel Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride sebagai salah satu bahan topikal fluor, dalam berbagai penelitian terbukti efektif digunakan pada anak-anak karena aromanya ya…
