Mengkudu contains saponin, flavanoid, atsiri oil and alkaloid that stated as antibacterial
and antifungal. This study was a laboratory experimental with time series design that
used rejuvenatal Candida albicans as subjects and was held in Microbiology Laboratory
of Medical Faculty of UNHAS. This study was to find out the minimal inhibiting
concentration and force of mengkudu based on growth concentration of Candida
albicans. SPSS program version 11.5 with Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann Witney test are
used for data analysis. The result was Candida albicans had minimal inhibiting
concentration at 12% and the maximal at 16%.

The main function of teeth is chewing, whereas its capabilities depends on amount of
teeth remains. High teeth loss in elderly can compromise this chewing function,
resulting in inadequate nutrition intake. Analytic epidemiology study of relationship
between dental status, diet pattern and nutrition intake in elderly of Buginese and
Mandarnese took 424 sample (Buginese 206; Mandarnese 216). Buginese dental
status showed higher prevalence of tooth loss 0-10 than Mandarnese (24.5%:18.1%),
as for tooth loss 11-20 and 21-27, Mandarnese dental status showed higher
prevalence than Buginese, and for total tooth loss Buginese showed higher prevalence
than mandarnese. Total mean tooth loss between Mandarnese and Buginese not so
much different, which is 20.42 to 19.58. Generally no significant diet pattern
difference found between Buginese and Mandarnese. Diet pattern consist of food
processed to meet elderly chewing capabilities. Analysis of relationship between
dental status and macro nutrient carbohydrate and protein intake showed significant
relation (p<0.05), as for lipid intake showed relation although not significant.
Analysis of relationship between dental status and micro nutrient Vitamin D, E, and C
statically showed no significant relation, Vitamin A showed no relation at all.

Cerebral palsy is the condition marked by paralysis, weakness, inability coordination
or other deviation of motoric function, especially muscles. While mental retardation is
development disturbance especially in functions and the intellectual capacity. From
the dentistry point of view, the paient had many disturbances because the decreasing
of the capacity, include maintenance of the oral dental health. In fact, the
requirements in oral and dental health care were not different from other patients, but
the implementation usually difficult. Dental care was influenced by several points,
psychology, physical, and emotion. The aim of this case study is to report
considerations in caring inpatient, improving the chewing function and esthetics and
increased patient’s self confidence. This case represents a 17 years old man with the
cerebral palsy and mild mental retardation, came to the Teeth and Mouth Clinic of
YPAC Jakarta to make denture. He complained his chewing abilitiy, and appearance
because disturbanced and decreased his self-confidence. In this case, the patient was
made frame denture to the teeth 41 to 45, because the ridge had been lost as a result of
losing teeth many years ago.after the therapy, it can be concluded that the difficulty in
handling the special need children patient could be overcome if the dentist studied the
characteristics of the manifestation of his physical and psychological situation of the
public well. Professionally a dentist could determine the attitude before planning an
operational action on a sufferer.

The main purpose of treating tooth with fixed restoration (crown or bridge) is to keep
healthy the remaining tooth and their surrounding tissue. In order to provide the
serviceability fixed partial denture in patient’s mouth, so the periodontal tissue should
be preserved so natural teeth used as abutment can be also maintained.

Nasopharyngeal cancer has different malignancy types, based on its location. The
most frequent type of nasopharyngeal cancer is carcinoma of squamous cell which
happens on cells inside nose, mouth, and throat. The rare types happened such as
salivary gland tumor, lymphoma, and sarcoma. There are three main therapies to
treat nasopharyngeal cancer; they are radiation therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy.
The main treatment is radiation therapy or surgery and chemotherapy or combination
both of them. Chemotherapy is often conducted as an additional treatment.
Combination treatment between those three treatments optimally can be used for
nasopharyngeal cancer patient based on the location and disease stadium. Radiation
therapy on nasopharyngeal cancer can caused some side effects, such as mucositis,
salivary gland dysfunction, taste sense dysfunction and malnutrition, tooth disorders,
bone transforming, cutaneous transforming, nerve disorders, decreasing of
intellectual, lost of hearing sense, complication of malignant cancer caused by
radiation, and intracranial bleeding.
