Background: Two main influencing factors of dental and oral health in developing countries are attitude and behavior.According to Lawrence Green’s theory, a person’s behavior is influenced by intention, namely reinforcing factor,predisposing factor, and enabling factor. One of reinforcing factors that has an important role for a mother in adoptingand promoting healthy behavior is social support. The study found issues on two social support domains, which wereinformation support and instrumental support. Therefore, “Bu GISELA” or Buku Gigi Sehat Keluarga (Family DentalHealth Book) was created to promote dental and oral health by habituating regular tooth-brushing activities. Purpose: Topromote dental and oral health care and maternal social support in mothers and kindergarteners in Made Urban Village.Bu GISELA was expected to improve informational support in mothers. Methods: A total of 20 mothers of kindergartenersin Made Urban Village filled pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The obtained data were then processed using a pairedt-test to see the relationship between the two variables. Results: A significant increase in knowledge (p-value <0.05) onpost-test compared to pre-test. Conclusion: Mothers’ dental health knowledge and social support increased significantlyafter they received “Bu GISELA”.
Reconstruction of extensive bone tissue damage is a treatment with complication. Because moving the autologous tissue such as bone graft can cause complications that causes problems in the repair of extensive tissue damage so, the principle of tissue engineering (stem cells, bioreactor / growth factor, and scaffold) is used as an alternative to reconstruct damage to the tissue because it has many advantages. The combination of hADMSC and chitosan scaffold, is expected to trigger osteoinduction that can be expressed by osteogenic markers such as phosphorus levels in blood serum. To prove osteoinduction in a combination of Human Adiposed Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell (hADMSC) and chitosan scaffold using blood serum phosphorus levels. This study used 12 groups with 5 sample each. Groups 1 to 4 were the negative control group at day 1,3,7, and 14. While groups 5 to 8 were the positive control group at day 1,3,7, and 14. Groups 9 to 12 were treatment groups at day 1,3,7, and 14. In the negative control group bone was only removed, in positive control group, bone was removed and chitosan scaffold was added, and in treatment group, bone was removed then, hADMSC and chitosan scaffold combination was added . Blood collection will be carried out in each group for examination of phosphorus levels in the blood serum. There were differences in phosphorus levels in blood serum in each group even though statistically there were only significant differences on day 14. The combination of hADMSC and chitosan scaffold caused a significant change in blood serum phosphorus levels on day 14 which means it triggers osteoinduction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
