| Summary: | Medication for lung Tuberculosis is given within two phase, intensive
phase and continued phase. Its medication will affect the nervous system of
salivary glands. It affects accumulation of dental plaque will increase in a row
and decrease the saliva secretion. The aim of this study was to investigate the
effect of medication phase for lung Tuberculosis to saliva flow rate and plaque
growth.
The clinical observation study with cross-sectional approach was
performed to 88 girls with lung Tuberculosis aged 7-10 years old. The subjects
were selective randomly from the patients medical record at Bontang Hospital
East Kalimantan. The done of salivary flow was taken by pooled the saliva of
each patient in to plastic glass for 5 minutes without induction to measure the
saliva flow rate with syringe and the plaque growth was taken by plaque
scoring.
Statistical analysis was performed with Two Way Anova, showed
significant difference of the saliva flow rate and plaque score at control,
intensive phase, continued I and continued II (p<0,05). LSD showed
significant difference between the saliva flow rate and plaque score in all of
each group phase, except continued I phase and continued II. Pearson
correlation showed that there was inversely proportional correlation between
saliva flow rate and plaque (p<0,05).The conclusion of this study was that the
medication phase of lung Tuberculosis may affect saliva flow rate and plaque
growth, and the decrease of saliva flow rate would be followed by the decrease
of plaque growth.
