Abstract
Background. Physical exercise today has become a healthy lifestyle but
excessive anaerobic physical exercise can lead to excessive fatigue and
physical stressors which can disrupt the body’s immune system, including
the secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) in saliva. sIgA in saliva has been
suggested to play an important role in protecting the oral cavity against
viral infections and bacterial adherence. Low concentrations of sIgA are
associated with certain disease especially caries caused by Streptococcus
mutans. Purpose. The aim of this research is to determine the increasing
number of Streptococcus mutans due to excessive anaerobic physical
exercise. Method. This research was conducted on experimental animals
(wistar rats) aged 120 days, weighing 200-300 grams. Rats were divided
into 2 groups, a treatment group and a control group, and each group
used 7 rats. In the treatment group, rats swam for 80% maximum long
workout (1 minute 46 seconds) three times a week for two months in the
tub of water as deep as 50 cm with a weight of 9% of body weight of each
rat which tied at the base of the tail. In the end of treatment, dental plaque
of each rat from treatment group and control group swabbed, inserted into
the tube of liquid BHI Broth, incubated for 24 hours at 37°C, grown on
TYC then examined Streptococcus mutans colonies visually. Results.
There were significant differences number of Streptococcus mutans
(p<0,05) between rats in the treatment group and rats in the control
group. Conclusion. Streptococcus mutans number increased due to
excessive anaerobic exercise.
