Isolation of Thermophilic Bacteria From Mount Tangkuban Perahu and the Novelty as a Candidate for Anti-Biofilm.

Thermophilic bacteria living in extreme areas with high temperatures are capable of producing secondary metabolites, such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). AMPs are stable at high temperatures and show good antibacterial activity. Therefore, this study aimed to identify thermophilic bacteria from the crater of Mount Tangkuban Perahu around West Java and assess antibacterial effectiveness of AMPs against , which contribute to oral biofilm formation.

Histopathological Evaluation of Wound Healing and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Granola Potato Peel Ethanol Extract in Rat Oral Mucosa.

Introduction: Oral mucosal wounds present significant clinical challenges due to their susceptibility to infection, inflammation, and delayed healing. The limitation of standard anti-inflammatory drugs (both steroidal and non-steroidal) highlights the urgent need for plant-derived alternative therapies. Granola potato ( L.

The Effects of Potato ( L. vs. Granola; Solanaceae) Peel Extract Gel on Gingival Wound Healing in Wistar Rats.

Purpose: Phenolic compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties have been identified in potatoes ( L.; Solanaceae), which may potentially contribute to wound healing. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of potato peel extract gel Granola variety on oral gingival wound healing in Wistar Rats.

Chewing and Swallowing Patterns for Different Food Textures in Healthy Subjects.

Aims: This study aimed to determine the patterns of chewing and swallowing in healthy subjects with different food textures.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 75 subjects who were asked to video record themselves while chewing different food samples of varying textures, including sweet and salty food. The food samples were coco jelly, gummy jelly, biscuit, potato crisp, and roasted nuts.
