FKG UNPRI 博士
Unpri FKG 研究项目负责人获得 Cumlaude Predicate 博士学位
Head of Dental Education Unit (Kaprodi) Faculty of Dentistry (FKG) Universitas Prima Indonesia (Unpri) Drg. Hj. Suci Erawati M.Kes successfully passed the open doctoral promotion exam at Universitas Prima Indonesia (USU), November 23, 2014.
Drg. Hj. Suci Erawati, M.Kes., successfully earned a doctorate with cum laude predicate from the USU Dentistry Doctoral Program after defending her dissertation entitled 'Effectiveness of Cardamom Fruit Essential Oil-Based Mouthwash (Amomum Cardamomum L) on Reducing Volatile Sulfur Compound Gas in Halitosis Subjects.
In front of the examination team, the woman born in Jambi on December 28, 1966 said that 0.5 percent cardamom essential oil mouthwash has proven effective as a mouthwash to overcome halitosis complaints, and is expected to be a photopharmaceutical preparation that is beneficial to the community.
According to Suci Erawati, the problem of bad breath (Halitosis) has received attention among health professionals, especially dental health and also the general public. Halitosis is the third cause of someone visiting a dentist, after dental disease and dental aesthetic problems. This, she said, shows that bad breath is very disruptive to personal life, so it needs attention from experts.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Doctoral Study Program (S-3) in Dentistry at the University of North Sumatra (USU) Dr. Ameta Primasari drg MDsc MKes said, Drg. Hj. Suci Erawati M.Kes is the first graduate of the USU Dentistry Doctoral Program. According to Ameta, the Dentistry Doctoral Program requires a longer study period, at least 6 semesters or 3 years.
Ameta expressed her pride in the Cum Laude Predicate achieved by drg Suci Erawati, because she has been able to produce excellent research. "Hopefully the herbal researched by drg Suci with cardamom to eliminate halitosis can be continued and developed," said Ameta. Halitosis is not actually a disease, but it is very disruptive in terms of socializing. "If this bad breath is not treated, it will disrupt the relationship system and so on," he said.
We hope that drg Suci will continue to take care of the Patent Rights so that the results of drg Suci's research can be beneficial for the community.
In a separate place, the Head of BPH Unpri DR Tommy Leonard SH. MKn accompanied by Vice Rector II Ermi Girsang, S.KM., M.Kes, Dean of FK Unpri Dr. H.Yulitas Bachtiar, Sp.A., Vice Dean of FE Hendri, S.E., M.M., photo while attending the open doctoral promotion exam at USU, expressed pride in the figure of drg Suci Erawati besides the figure of an energetic lecturer, drg. Suci Erawati has high motivation and never tires of conducting research.
"Therefore it is not surprising that drg. Suci Erawati received the predicate Cumlaude", said Tommy Leonard. In this case, said Tommy, the Foundation appreciates drg Suci Erawati who has completed the Doctoral Study Program in Dentistry at USU, which will bring a good name to FKg Unpri.
"We strongly encourage drg. Suci Erawati to immediately patent her research results and Unpri to immediately open the Halitosis Study Center which can be useful for the wider community, especially the people of North Sumatra," said Tommy Leonard.
