One way to prevent caries is to gargle with mouthwash. Honey has become one of the natural ingredients that can be used as a mouthwash drug content. Jambi Province is one of the provinces that makes honey a non-timber forest product (NTFP). It is necessary to carry out physical and chemical tests on honey to determine the quality of honey as a basic ingredient for mouthwash. The honey samples examined were honey harvested from honey farms in Danau Lamo, Maro Sebo District, Muaro Jambi Regency, Jambi Province. This type of honey is Acacia Carpa (Acacia crassicarpa) honey from Apis mellifera honey bee farming. The honey tested consisted of honey that had undergone processing and raw honey. The honey testing carried out consists of organoleptic tests, physical tests and chemical tests. Testing was carried out at the Jambi Province Department of Industry and Trade. The inspection results show test results that comply with SNI 8664-2018 such as water content, water-insoluble solids, ash content, HMF, and diastase enzyme levels. The pH of honey is 3.7 and is in accordance with the honey pH standard. Substances that do not comply with SNI 8664-2018 are reducing sugar levels and sucrose levels. Honey with high sucrose content can still be used as a basic ingredient for mouthwash, but it must be based on the results of clinical trials to ensure its effectiveness and safety</p> Mira Sri Gumilar Idham Halid Tedi Purnama Warsono Warsono Indrayati Fadjeri Copyright (c) 2024 Mira Sri Gumilar https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-10-16 2024-10-16 5 2 103 109 10.36082/jdht.v5i2.1722 THE EFFECT OF CONSUMING YOGHURT ON THE SALIVARY PH OF MILDLY MENTALLY RETARTED CHILDREN https://ejournal.poltekkesjakarta1.ac.id/index.php/JKG/article/view/1734 <p>The percentage of people with disabilities in Indonesia is 56% and the prevalence of dental caries in children with disabilities reaches 82.6%.

The intra-oral and extra-oral environment greatly influences a person's dental and oral health. To maintain healthy teeth and mouth, it is necessary to control saliva, because saliva or saliva in the mouth plays an active role in supporting healthy teeth and mouth. If there is a decrease in saliva pH, it can cause rapid demineralization of tooth elements, while an increase in pH can result in bacterial colonization which deposits and increases the formation of tartar. One way to control the pH of saliva is to gargle with boiled red betel leaves, because they contain compounds that are antibacterial. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of gargling with boiled red betel leaves (piper crocatum) on saliva pH in students at SMP Negeri 4 Pineleng, Minahasa Regency. This research uses a quasi-experimental method with a one group pre and post-test design. This research was carried out by giving treatment to respondents and measuring the pH of saliva before and after gargling with boiled red betel leaves. The sample in this study was 72 students, using random sampling techniques. Data collection was obtained from the results of salivary pH measurements using universal pH test paper with criteria 0-14, the concentration of red betel leaves used in this study was 15%. The data obtained were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon test, it was found that ? value=0.027 (0.027&lt;0.05), so it can be concluded that gargling with boiled red betel leaves is effective in changing saliva pH.</p> Jeana Lydia Maramis Kadek Fendi Yusriadi Ni Made Yuliana Youla Karamoy Copyright (c) 2024 Jeana Lydia Maramis https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-10-16 2024-10-16 5 2 128 132 10.36082/jdht.v5i2.1882 SALIVA FLOW RATE AND PLAQUE SCORE IN CONVENTIONAL SMOKERS https://ejournal.poltekkesjakarta1.ac.id/index.php/JKG/article/view/1745 <p>Background: Smoking had become a common habit in the community. The Lampung Dormitory in Yogyakarta had found that people who had consumed cigarettes for more than 1 year had a moderate level of dental and oral hygiene. Teeth and mouths could be said to be clean if they were free of dirt such as debris, plaque, and calculus. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between saliva flow rate and plaque score in conventional smokers in Lampung Dormitory. Methods: A type quantitative research with an observational analytical approach was used, employing a cross-sectional design. The population of this study was conventional cigarette users aged 18–30.

Dental therapists are primarily responsible for enhancing oral health by preventing, treating, and managing dental problems. While authorized to collaborate with dental specialists in providing medical dental procedures. However, in many clinical settings, dental therapists are often relegated to the role of dental assistants. This limitation can be attributed to the lack of integrated dental care models for complete denture cases within specialized prosthodontic services. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of developed dental and oral health care model on patients with complete denture care on changes in the behavior of dental therapists in implementing the model. This study employs a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest-posttest design (non-equivalent control group). The research was conducted the entire population of 12 dental therapists at the prosthodontic clinic of the dental and oral hospital were randomly assigned to two groups. The intervention group received socialization on an oral health care model. Knowledge, attitude, and skills were assessed through questionnaires and observational methods both before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed statistically using paired t-test, and independent t-test. Its model is effective in behavior changes: improving knowledge (p-value 0.025; ? 7.50), attitudes (p-value 0.012; ? 7.33), skills (p-value 0.002; ? 26.67). Development of a dental and oral health care model in patients with complete denture care is effective in changing the behavior of dental therapists.</p> Moh Imam Santoso Alif Krisna Aditya Diyah Fatmasari Sukini Sukini Copyright (c) 2024 Moh Imam Santoso Alif Krisna Aditya, Diyah Fatmasari, Sukini https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-10-16 2024-10-16 5 2 153 158 10.36082/jdht.v5i2.1825 MEDIA EDUCATION E-BOOKLETS GINGIBOOKS ON GINGIVITIS KNOWLEDGE IN TEENAGERS https://ejournal.poltekkesjakarta1.ac.id/index.php/JKG/article/view/1829 <p>Background: The prevalence rate of gingivitis in Indonesia is quite high.
