The combination of bay leaves and betel leaves infusion has been used as a toothbrush disinfectant. The purpose of this study was to obtain a stable and effective mouthwash formulation from the combination of both infusions to prevent and relieve gingivitis. Methods: Five mouthwash formulas were made by mixing the active ingredients which is a combination of bay leaves and betel leaves infusion, with additives. The combination namely F-I (100% : 0%); F-II (75% : 25%); F-III (50% : 50%); F-IV (25% : 75%) and F-V (0%: 100%). Antibacterial activity tests against Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguis, and Porphyromonas gingivalis and physical stability tests were carried out. Stability test was carried out by storing the formula at room temperature (280C), hot temperature (400C) and cold temperature (40C) for 3 storage cycles (6 weeks) and observing changes in the physical indicators of the solution, namely pH, specific gravity, viscosity and organoleptic conditions, namely homogeneity, clarity, color, aroma and taste at the end of every 2nd week. Results: F-I to F-V had no inhibitory activity against Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguis, but had inhibitory activity against Porphyromonas gingivalis in the range (7.19±0.48) to (8.29 ±0.82) mm (ANOVA with a significance value of 0.237 > 0.05). The 5 formulas were more stable at cold storage, with organoleptic observations at the end of the 3rd cycle showing a slight precipitate (+), clear solution, light brown color, mint aroma and sweet taste. F-II formulas showed better physical indicators values because they were closer to the standard values.

Methods: This type of research is true experimental research. The population of this research would be primary teeth extracted from children, using a purposive sampling technique with inclusive and exclusive criteria. A total amount of 5 maxillary primary central incisors were extracted and cleaned. APF gel was applied repetitively on the left side of the teeth for 4 minutes every hour, whereas the right side was left as it is.

The tooth which is demineralized shows a honeycomb structure of the interprismatic enamel. As for the dentinal tubules, teeth without APF gel application have a bigger opening of dentinal tubules, going up to 7.868 micrometers in size compared to teeth with APF gel application (1-2 micrometers).

Methods: This research was carried out in the laboratory biomedical Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Islam Bandung. In twenty-seven male rats weighing 200-300 g, a lip mucous incision of 10 mm length and 4 mm depth was surgically created.

Dental fillers must be smaller to improve their mechanical, physical, and biological properties. Material processing and centrifugation contribute to the size of processed materials. This study evaluates the effect of different centrifugation speeds on the size and distribution of glutinous rice flour as organic dental filler. Methods: This experimental study uses glutinous rice flour suspended in water and then centrifuged at different speeds of 3000 and 6000 rpm compared to untreated glutinous rice flour as control. The particle size was examined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). Next, Fourier Transform Infra Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) were performed to evaluate whether there were structure and crystallinity changes. Finally, the cytocompatibility of fillers was examined by a cell viability test. Results: Centrifugation of glutinous rice flour at 3000 rpm resulted in smaller average size particles, evenly distributed, and higher crystallinity than other groups. There were no changes in functional groups, as shown by FTIR spectra. However, the processed samples were more amorphous compared to the control. Importantly, the processed samples appeared to be non-toxic, with a range of cell viability of 82.75-86.67% after 24 h incubation. Conclusion: Centrifugation speed of 3000 rpm has decreased in size, and a more homogenous particle size of organic filler made from glutinous rice flour.
