Latar Belakang: Kecemasan dapat menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan tekanan darah. Anak-anak sering merasa cemas saat dilakukan perawatan gigi khususnya saat prosedur anestesi. Hal tersebut dikarenakan anestesi identik dengan jarum yang bisa menimbulkan rasa nyeri. Alat anestesi tanpa jarum atau jet injektor telah dikembangkan untuk anestesi lokal. Jet injektor dianggap bisa mengurangi rasa nyeri saat anestesi, namun suara, bentuk, dan tekanan yang ditimbulkan jet injektor bisa meningkatkan kecemasan anak. Salah satu cara yang bisa digunakan untuk mengatasi kecemasan anak saat dilakukan prosedur anestesi adalah dengan distraksi virtual reality. Tujuan Penelitian: Untuk mengetahui pengaruh distraksi virtual reality terhadap perubahan tekanan darah anak saat prosedur anestesi menggunakan jet injektor. Metode Penelitian: Jenis penelitian ini adalah quasi experimental dengan pre and posttest nonequivalent control group design. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 30 anak dibagi menjadi dua kelompok secara acak, 15 anak dilakukan anestesi menggunakan jet injektor dengan distraksi virtual reality dan 15 anak dilakukan anestesi menggunakan jet injektor tanpa distraksi virtual reality. Penelitian dilakukan dengan cara mengukur tekanan darah anak sebelum dan saat prosedur anestesi menggunakan jet injektor. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Independent T-test. Hasil: Terdapat pengaruh distraksi virtual reality terhadap perubahan tekanan darah anak saat prosedur anestesi menggunakan jet injektor sesuai dengan hasil analisis data Independent T-test yang menunjukkan nilai signifikansi p<0,05. Kesimpulan: Terdapat pengaruh distraksi virtual reality terhadap perubahan tekanan darah anak saat prosedur anestesi menggunakan jet injektor.
Gingival enlargement is a manifestation of hypertrophy (increase in cell size) and hyperplasia (increase in cell number). Epulis is a gingival hyperplasia (tumor-like) that originates from periodontal connective tissue. One type of epulis that often occurs is granulomatous epulis. Granulomatous epulis is a type of epulis that occurs from a granulomatous tissue reaction due to chronic irritation due to calculus, root residues, or carious edges. This case report discusses the management of suspect epulis granulomatous in mandibular anterior teeth. A 45-year-old female patient complained of swollen lower front gums and frequent bleeding when brushing her teeth. Intraoral examination showed that there was gingival enlargement in the form of papules with a size of 6 mm x 8 mm, reddish in color, smooth surface, soft consistency, well demarcated, painless but bleeding on palpation in the tooth area 41. OHI score 4.9 (moderate), BOP ( Bleeding in probing) was positive, and the probing depth of the mesiolabial, midlabial, and distolabial surfaces i.e. for tooth 41 was 5-5-5. The diagnosis in this case led to suspect epulis granulomatous on tooth 41. The treatment plan was KIE (Communication, Information and Education), initial therapy in the form of scaling and root planing, gingivectomy and then control. The results of the treatment showed that the gingival contour was physiologically formed, there was no swelling, negative palpation, negative BOP, and decreased pocket depth from the mesiolabial, midlabial, and distolabial surfaces of tooth 41 to 2-2-3.Keywords: epulis, granulomatous epulis, gingivectomy, gingival enlargement
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.
