Abstract

Background: Hyposalivation has a negative effect on oral health such as causing the risk of oral candidiasis and caries, so it is necessary to increase the salivary flow rate by using auditory stimuli such as music. One of the music that can be used is the Kacapi Suling "Ayun Ambing".The Kacapi Suling "Ayun Ambing" music comes from West Java which has a calm, slow and relaxed tone, but its effect on salivary flow rate has never been studied. This study aims to determine the effect before and after listening to Kacapi Suling "Ayun Ambing" on salivary flow rate.

Method: This study used a pre-experimental study with a post-test only design approach involving 20 female students of the Department of Dentistry and Oral Medicine, Sriwijaya University aged 19-23 years. Saliva was collected before listening to music using the spitting method for 5 minutes every 60 seconds. Subjects were given the Kacapi Suling "Ayun Ambing" music stimulus for 15 minutes then in the last 5 minutes saliva was collected every 60 seconds. The collected saliva was recorded as the value of saliva flow rate in g/minute. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test and paired T test.

Results: The results showed that the average saliva flow rate after listening to the Kacapi Suling "Ayun Ambing" music was higher than before listening to the music (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Listening to the Kacapi Suling "Ayun Ambing" music has an effect on increasing the saliva flow rate.
