One of the most common dental and oral diseases in Indonesia today is periodontal disease which is generally caused by plaque bacteria on thetooth surface. To prevent the formation of plaque, maintenance of dental and oral hygiene is carried out in a sim-ple, effective and practicalway, namely by brushing teeth carefully and regularly. Mirroring is one of the media that can reflect oneself clearly because it can see the body including the entire surface of the teeth according to what is reflected in a mirror so that accuracy in brushing teeth is obtained andcleanliness is obtained on all surfaces of the teeth. The purpose of this study was to find how the plaque index compared to brushing teethwith and without mirrors in children at the Ummu Aiman and Hikmah Orphanage in Makassar, using a quasi-experimental method with aposttest only control group design type. Based on the Mann-Whitney U test on 46 samples, a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05) was obtained. This means that there is a significant difference in the dental plaque index in the group that brushes teeth using a mirror and without a mirror. It was concluded that brushing teeth using a mirror was more effective in reducing plaque index than without a mirror.

Maxillofacial fracture in elderly patients mostly related to age-related changes and systemic pathologic conditions. However, traumatic injuries in the elderlyhave been increasing in recent years; this is due to increased active life span with advances in medicine that result in a higher percentage of older people in the population. This article ia a review of oromaxillofacial frac-ture in elderly that published since the last 10 years obtained through the search of the electronic database PubMed and Google Scholar, then selected as many as six studies based on the treatment of oromaxillofacial fracture in elderly. Based on the selec-ted literature that has been reviewed, falls were responsible for the majority of fractures in the elderly group. The fracture loca-tions are varied but mostcommon site is zygomatic complex, nasal bone, and condylar. The results of this literature review high-light that majority of elderly patients are treated without surgical procedures.It is concluded that the treatment of maxillofacial trauma in elderly patients is often challenging, as elderly patients require specific attention and multidisciplinary collaboration in the diagnosis and sequencing of trauma treatment.

Enterococcus faecalis is a bacterium that is often found in root canals of teeth and can survive in them even after treatment. The use of 2.5% NaOCl as a root canal irrigation material has disadvantages; toxic and irritating, so other alternatives are needed. Green okra extract contains flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids which have antibacterial properties. This study aims to determine the inhibition of green okra extract against E.faecalis. It was doneexperimental laboratory research with a posttest-only control group design. The inhibition test used the disc diffusion method which consisted of 5 research groups,i.e. green okra extract with concentrations of 1.563%, 3.125%, 6.25%, 12.5%, and 2.5% NaOCl. Data were analyzed using non-pa-rametric statistical testsKruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney. The average of the inhibition zone diameter of the green okra extract concentrations were 1.563% (0 mm), 3.125% (0 mm), 6.25% (15.9 mm), 12.5% (18.03 mm), and 2.5% NaOCl (24.07 mm). The Kruskal Wallis test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p<0.05) which meant that there was a difference in the research group, followed by the Mann Whitney test which showed there were significant differences between all research groups except between green okra extract concentrations of 1.563% and 3.125%. It was concluded that green okra extract had an inhibitory effect on the growth of E.faecalis at concentrations of 6.25% and 12.5%.

Background and objective: Tooth extraction is a dental procedure of removing a tooth from its socket, causing an injury. Dental socket wounds that are directlyexposed to the oral environment allow the entry of pathogenic micro-organisms that can cause post-extraction bleeding, alveolar osteitis, oroantral fistula, and others. Recent studies have shown that the use of mussel adhe-sive proteins (MAPs) without sutures or staples can accelerate socket wound closure or stopbleeding after tooth extraction. Con-clusion: MAPs that have been synthesized into injectable citrate-based mussel-inspired bioadhesive have the potential assurgical sealants after tooth extraction because they have strong adhesive properties in wet environments, good esthetics, atraumatic, and short operating time.

Transverse strength is the resistance of the denture base to the load, pressure, and thrust when the mouth is functioning and is also influenced by some chemicalsas solvents, such as those contained in food, beverages and denture cleaning materials. This study was intended to determine the transverse strength of heat polymerized acrylic resin (HPAR) in a solution of basil leaf extract. The experimental design of this study was a post-test only control group with a sample size of 24 which was divided into 4 groups. Samples were soaked in sterile distilled water for 24 hours and then immersed in a solution of 25%, 50%, and 75% basil leaf extract, as well as sterile aquadest; for 8 days. The transverse strength was measured using a universal testing machine. Data were analyzed by one-way Anova and tested with least significant difference (p<0.05). The results showed that the transverse strength of the HPAR plate immersed in basil leaf extract decreased at a concentration of 25% and 50% and the lowest was at a concentration of 75%. It was concluded that basil leaf extract could decrease the transverse strength of HPAR.

ABSTRACT Indonesia is a country that has the highest marine species richness; even 45% of the world's seaweed species. One type of sea-weed that is cultivated in Indonesia is red algae (Eucheuma spinosum) which is able to produce active metabolites that have bio-logical activities such as antiviral, antioxidant, antifungal,antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory. This literature review discusses the potential of red algae extract on wound healing, namely secondary data and literature studies, analyzed descriptively by descri-bing and comparing the results of research regarding the active compound content of red algae which is closely related towound healing. It is discussed about various active compounds such as flavonoids, triterpenoids, alkaloids, ascorbic acid, steroids, sa-ponins, and polyphenolsfound in the red algae have antioxidant properties that can accelerate wound healing. It is concluded that the active compounds of flavonoids, triterpenoids,alkaloids, ascorbic acid, steroids, saponins, and polyphenols contained in the red algae have antioxidant properties that can accelerate wound healing.
