Relationship Between HIV/AIDS and Periodontal Health Status among Population at High Risk of HIV/AIDS

Background. In 2017, there were sixty people who identified themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender/ transsexual (LGBT) people in Sememi Public Health Center, and seven of them were known to be people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). People who are at high risk for HIV infection, especially the LGBT people and Female Sex Workers, are at even greater risk of developing a number of severe periodontal diseases. Periodontal problems, such as periodontitis, in HIV patients, are more severe and occur more frequently than uninfected patients. However, data on dental visit in Sememi Public Health Center as the primary health center in Sememi district is still limited, and there is still no data regarding periodontal health status among HIV patients. Objective. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between HIV/AIDS and periodontal health status among the population who are at high risk of HIV/AIDS in Sememi Public Health Center area. Method. This study was conducted with a cross-sectional design. The sample size was determined using a total sampling technique and came up with 30 participants. Conclusion. Population with a high risk of HIV/AIDS in Sememi Health Center area in Surabaya City has poor periodontal status, due to a large number of bleeding on probing (BOP), periodontal pocket depth, and loss of attachment (LOA). There is no significant difference between BOP results and pocket depth between the HIV and non-HIV groups. But a significant difference was found between LOA in the HIV and non-HIV groups. On the contrary, we found that there is no significant relationship between HIV/AIDS and xerostomia in this study

Effect of Blood Iron Level on Prevalence of Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS) in Traffic Police Officers

Introduction: Iron is one of human micronutrients which is the most abundant micro mineral in the body. Iron deficiency can affect the human immune system because this mineral is essential for cell differentiation and growth. In addition, white blood cells that function to destroy bacteria becomes unable to work effectively and will result in changes in oral microorganisms which can increase intensity of oral mucosa inflammation including recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). This study aimed to determine the association between blood iron levels and recurrent aphthous stomatitis in traffic police officers at Surabaya Police Department. Materials and Method: This research was an analytical observational with cross sectional approach. The respondents of this research were 98 traffic police officers at Surabaya Police Department, they were selected by simple random sampling method by fulfilling several criteria. Researchers then performed intra oral examination and anamnesis to know the history of ulceration in the mouth of the respondents. Results: Respondents who had abnormal iron levels experienced RAS more than respondents with normal iron levels. The correlation test between iron blood level of and RAS with chi-square test resulted in P-value of 0.034. Because the p-value (0.034) is less than significance level (0.05), the null hypothesis is rejected. Thus, this means that there is a relationship between blood iron levels and RAS. Conclusion: There is relationship between blood iron levels and Recurrent aphthous stomatitis in traffic police officers at Surabaya Police Department
