Bark Mouthwash, Gingivitis, Diabetic PatientsAbstract
Dental and oral health is a health problem that requires comprehensive treatment. Maintenance of dental and oral health can be done by using mouthwash. Mouthwash is a solution or liquid that is used to help clean the mouth from microorganisms that cause diseases in the oral cavity. Based on their composition, mouthwashes are divided into two types, namely chemical mouthwashes and herbal mouthwashes. Mouthwash has many benefits, including preventing gingivitis which often occurs in people with diabetes mellitus (DM). In DM patients, there is an increase in the number of bacteria in the oral cavity that causes abnormalities in periodontal tissues including gingiva. This type of research is a Quasi experiment with a pretest-posttest design, which was carried out at the Restu Bunda Lhoknga Clinic. The population in this study is 84 people. The sample in this study amounted to 30 people using the accidental sampling method. The results of this study showed a decrease in the mean value of gingivitis after the administration of chlorhexidine mouthwash by 1.50 from 11.70 to 10.20 at the posttest, and laban bark by 2.10 from 14.90 to 12.80 at the posttest. Data processing using the Paired Sample T-Test statistical test showed p = 0.000 (p<0.05). The conclusion of this study shows that there is an effect of mouthwash on gingivitis in patients with diabetes mellitus. The advice for people with diabetes mellitus is to gargle more often using mouthwash so that gingivitis does not get worse
