THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ANCHOVY INTAKE ON EPITHELIAL SOCKET THICKNESS POST EXTRACTION
Get PDFBackground: Epithelial formation or re-epithelialization is one of the parameters in the wound closure. Nutrition has become a major factors in the successful outcome during this process. Anchovy (Stolephorus sp.) contains several proteins, vitamins, and minerals that can act as supplements to support wound closure. This research proposed to understand the effect of anchovy intake toward epithelial thickness of the rats post tooth extraction.Method: This research was an experimental laboratory with a post-test-only control group design using 24 rats as a sample. Rats were divided into 2 groups, the control and the treatment group with 12 rats each. The mandibular left first molar of the samples was extracted, then given with aquadest (the control) and anchovy powder (the treatment) during 3, 5, and 7 days. All rats were decapitated after 24 hours from the last treatment, followed by tissue processing and staining with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) for examination. A microscope that connects with optilab on a magnification of 100x was used to measure the epithelial thickness on the thickest and thinnest part of the epithelial. The data were analysed with One-way ANOVA test and LSD test. Result: The results showed that the epithelial thickness of the treatment group was significantly increased compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study concludes that the anchovy (Stolephorus sp.) intake affects increasing epithelial socket thickness of the rats post tooth extraction

THE EFFECT OF PORPHYROMONAS GINGIVALIS INFECTION ON MENOPAUSE TO THE MECHANICAL STRENGTH OF THE MANDIBLE AND FEMUR
Get PDFBackground: Menopause is physiological condition signed estrogen deficiency. Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Gram-negative bacteria, and the products might induce estrogen deficiency. Estrogen is a sex steroid hormone played an essential role in bone remodeling. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Pg infection to menopause on the mechanical strength of the mandible and the femur. Following this study, we suggested that there were efforts to improve the health of oral, reproductive, and bones, particularly improving women's quality of life. This study was an experimental laboratory by post-test only control group design.Method: This study used female Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) divided into four groups. The groups were the control group (K), ovariectomy (OVX), Pg- induced (PG), and Pg-induced ovariectomy (OPG). OVX indicated ovarian dysfunction due to physiological processes. PG indicated experimental animals infected with Pg bacteria which was suspected of causing ovarian dysfunction. OPG indicated that experimental animals infected with Pg bacteria were in a state of menopause. A three-point bending test analyzed bone strength. Result: The results showed that the average mechanical strength of the mandibular bone in the control group and the treatment group had a significant difference (p0.05).Conclusion: Pg infection in menopause triggered a decrease in the mechanical strength of bones, especially the mandibular bone
