HSV-1 in the latent phase migrates to the trigeminal ganglion after primary infection and can reactivate to cause recurrent intraoral herpes (RIH). The recurrence of RIH is multifactorial and triggered by decreased immunity, fatigue, hypersensitivity, stress, and ultraviolet. Case: Three male patients came to the Oral Disease Clinic with ulcers in the oral cavity. The patients experienced prodromal symptoms and the characteristic features of RIH were multiple rounded ulcers spreading and surrounded by erythematous areas. Anti-HSV-1 IgG examination showed reactive results. Management: The therapy was acyclovir and trigger factor modifica-tion. The oral lesions of all patients recovered after therapy and there were no new lesions. Conclusion: Lifestyle and habits have a high potential to be a triggering factor for RIH recurrence, so comprehensive treatment is needed to prevent recurrence.","PeriodicalId":18170,"journal":{"name":"Makassar Dental Journal","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87247048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the bacteria that causes root canal treatment failure is Enterococcus faecalis. Chemomechanical preparation and root canal irrigation are not sufficient to eliminate bacteria completely, so root canal medication is necessary to make it more efficient. Moringa leaves contain tannins, flavonoids and saponins which have antibacterial properties. Objective: To determine whether moringa leaf nanoparticle paste had antibacterial effectiveness against the bacterium E.faecalis. Method: Experimental laboratory with posttest with control group design with Kirby-Bauer method. The sample consisted of moringa leaf nanoparticles with concentrations of 1% and 2.5%, calcium hydroxide and aquadest with each of them being repeated 3 times. The diameter of the inhibition zone was de-termined based on the inhibitory ability of the bacteria saturated on MHA agar media. Results: the result showed that the ave-rage diameter of the inhibition zone of moringa leaf nanoparticle paste with concentrations of 1% was 8.48 mm, 2.5% was 9.17 mm and calcium hydroxide was 10.2 mm. Data processing showed that the 2.5% moringa leaf nanoparticle paste group had the same antibacterial effect as the calcium hydroxide group. Conclusion: Moringa leaf nanoparticle paste (Moringa oleifera) with concentrations of 1% and 2.5% was quite effective in inhibiting the growth of E.faecalis.","PeriodicalId":18170,"journal":{"name":"Makassar Dental Journal","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81792512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Betel leaf extract can be used as a natural disinfectant because it contains essential oils that are antimi-crobial by denaturing cell proteins. This study was intended to examine the decrease in the transverse strength of heat polymeri-rized acrylic resin plates after immersion in 15% betel leaf extract solution. The posttest only control group design study used a sample of 24 HPAR plates, which were divided into 6 groups. The plates were immersed in distilled water for 72 hours to re-duce the residual monomer, immersed in 15% betel leaf extract solution, the positive control group in Fittydent® and the nega-tive control group in aquadest for 1 and 6 hours. The transverse strength was tested using the Universal Testing Machine and the data were analyzed using the one-way Anova test. The results showed the average transverse strength after immersion for 1 hour in 15% betel leaf extract, Fittydent®, and aquadest, respectively, namely 46.512±10.965 MPa, 72.744±22.395 MPa, and 81.522±28.854 MPa; after soaking for 6 hours, respectively, namely 49.171±14.246 MPa, 73.894±25.844 MPa, and 71.860± 17.553 MPa. The LSD test showed that there was a significant difference in transverse strength (p<0.05). It was concluded that the immersion of the HPAR plate in 15% betel leaf extract solution for 1 hour and 6 hours decreased the transverse strength.","PeriodicalId":18170,"journal":{"name":"Makassar Dental Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89612353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research method began with the pre-research stage; training for lecturers on how to implement DOPS, followed by the research stage; document study, observation, and focus group discussion (FGD). The results of the study found three major themes, namely concepts, ways of implementing, and obs-tacles to implementing DOPS. According to the teaching staff and students at FKG UK Maranatha, DOPS was an assessment of student procedural skills by direct observation of each stage of the procedural work. The teaching staff's perceptions about DOPS affected the way lecturers provide feedback to participants. As conclusion, full observation is needed to generate useful feedback for students. The effectiveness of DOPS is influenced by the availability of patients, the presence of examiners, and the availability of sufficient time to run DOPS.

Arabica coffee peel contains phytoche-mical compounds (polyphenols, alkaloids, saponins) which have potential as natural antibacterial. Purpose:To examine the benefits of waste of arabica coffee rind in inhibiting growth of Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Candida albicans. Methods: This experimental laboratory with the post test only group design was started with making of freeze dried coffee peels 25%, 50% and 75%; positive control used chlorhexidine and nystatin. The antimicrobial test method was performed by the diffusion method and the growth of microbial colonies was calculated using a colony counter. Result: Antimicrobial effect increased at all concentration of test solutions to the three microbes. This shows that there is a strong positive relationship between concentration and the number of microbial colonies. The higher concentration of dried arabica coffee peels, the greater the effect of microbial killing power. The biggest effect is on C.albicans, P.gingivalis, S.mutans, consecutively. Conclusion: arabica coffee fruit skin can be used as an antimicrobial oral cavity against the growth of S.mutans, P.gingivalis and C.albicans.","PeriodicalId":18170,"journal":{"name":"Makassar Dental Journal","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90969565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
