PENGARUH PEMBERIAN LATIHAN MENGUNYAH MENGGUNAKAN PERMEN KARET TERHADAP JUMLAH SEKRESI SALIVA PADA PASIEN DENGAN DIABETES MELITUS TIPE 2
Abstract: The number of
salivary secretion in patients with diabetes mellitus has decreased. This is
caused by high blood glucose levels, causing thickening of the basement
membrane in the small blood vessels that lead to the problem microangiopathy.
Microvascular damage or microangiopathy also occurs in the salivary glands.
Chewing is a mechanical activity in the mouth that can stimulate receptors of
taste. The stimulus is a stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous then dilate
blood vessels in order to drain the salivary gland saliva. This study aims to
determine the effect of exercise using chewing gum to total salivary secretion
in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who performed in hospitals Sanjiwani
Gianyar. This research is a quasi experimental design (pretest and posttest
with control group design). The sample consisted of 30 patients with type 2
diabetes were selected randomly, and then divided into treatment group and
control group. The treatment group was given exercises to chew sugar-free gum
(xylitol) for 14 days. The results showed an average increase of 0.1133 mL /
min in the treatment group, while 0.05 mL / min in the control group. Based on
Independent T-test test, this difference was statistically significant with the
Sig. (2-tailed) 0.003 which means the provision of training to use chewing gum
affect the amount of salivary secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes
mellitus.
