ABSTRAK Latar belakang: Berbagai penumpatan yang ada, amalgam merupakan salah satu yang sering dipakai. Merkuri yang merupakan kandungan utama amalgam, merupakan logam berat alamiah yang bisa berdampak buruk bagi kesehatan manusia. Merkuri pada amalgam bisa terlepas ke cavum oral, diabsorpsi ke dalam saluran pencernaan, lalu diekskresi melalui urine. Diketahui ada bakteri yang resisten terhadap merkuri. Oleh karena itu peneliti tertarik untuk mengetahui adakah bakteri yang resisten terhadap merkuri dalam urine. Metode Penelitian: Deskriptif eksploratif dengan mengambil sampel urin pada 5 pasien tumpatan amalgam poli gigi Puskesmas Bahu yang telah menggunakan tumpatan amalgam minimal 5 tahun. Kemudian diuji secara morfologi, fisiologi, dan biokimia di laboratorium bioteknologi FMIPA Universitas Sam Ratulangi. Hasil: Dari berbagai uji yang dilakukan ditemukan 6 genus bakteri resisten merkuri yang bertahan sampai 40 ppm, yaitu Alcaligenes, Neisseria, Planococcus, Marinococcus, Streptococcus, dan Morococcus. Kata Kunci: merkuri, amalgam, bakteri, urineABSTRACTBackground: Amalgam is one of the most frequently used material in various existing dental restoration. The main composition of amalgam, mercury, is a heavy metal that can naturally be harmed for human health. Amalgam-mercury may expose to oral cavity, absorped in digestive tract, then excreted through urine. There are bacteria known as resistant to mercury. Therefore, researcher are interested to know is there any bacteria that are resistant to mercury in the human body through the urine. Research Methods: Descriptive explorative by taking urine samples from 5 patients amalgam restoration in dental clinic Puskesmas Bahu. The patients have used amalgam restoration at least for 5 years. Tests morphology, physiology, and biochemistry at the FMIPA Universitas Sam Ratulangi biotechnology lab. Results: The various tests show 6 genera of mercury resistant bacteria which survive up to 40 ppm, namely Alcaligenes, Neisseria, Planococcus, Marinococcus, Streptococcus, and Morococcus.Keywords: mercury, amalgam, bacteria, urine

Knowledge And Attitude

The most unexpected pandemic global outbreak is COVID 19 which is a newly discovered viral infection which originated in Wuhan, China and it caused the outbreak of pneumonia in the rest of the world. Dental practitioners are more susceptible to COVID 19 infection as their work is related to the aerosol formation during various procedures through which the virus spreads. The aim of the study is to create awareness about precautionary measures against COVID- 19 exposure among dental practitioners in Tamilnadu. A Survey based questionnaire was formulated with questions related to the various precautionary measures to be adopted by dental practitioners which would be effective to prevent Covid-19 exposure. A questionnaire with a total of 20 questions was circulated among dental practitioners and the responses were collected by google forms SPSS software statistical analysis was done. The overall awareness of dental practitioners against Covid-19 was above average. The dental practitioners were relatively well aware of the precautions to be adopted while treating the patients, but the implementation in practice is lacking due absence of hands-on experience in using various kinds of PPE. There is a gap between knowledge and attitude and practice among the participants of this survey. It is therefore essential to plan for organising training sessions and hands-on workshops for the use of PPE and public training of the general population regarding Covid-19 to improve the knowledge among the patients visiting the dental clinic as well.

The Impact

Relevance. Periodontal diseases are a medical and social problem due to the wide spread among the population of developed countries and the impact on the quality of life. Among the many factors that are important in the development of inflammatory periodontal diseases, an important role is played by adherence to the recommendations of the dentist in respecting oral hygiene. Aim of the work was to study the adherence of patients of the dental clinic to compliance with preventive measures in the oral cavity.Materials and methods. A total of 98 patients of dental clinic, 62 female (medial age 38,6 ± 14,0 years) and 36 male (medial age 37,2±13,1 years) participated in survey. The study participants flled in the profle and answered questions about age, gender, harmful working conditions and bad habits, frequency of visits to the dental clinic, attitudes to the prevention of dental diseases, knowledge about the means and methods of oral hygiene.Results. As a result of the study, it was found that in the vast majority of cases, respondents are employed in production that does not adversely affect their health (91%), only 8% of patients indicated harmful working conditions.Conclusions. The study revealed that, despite the recommendations of the dentist, patients are not always committed to the implementation of preventive measures in the oral cavity. Dentists need to motivate patients to use not only the usual methods and means of hygiene, but also additional ones necessary for maintaining dental health.
