Abstract
<span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common ailments in children. In clinical practice approximately 50% of patients with symptoms </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>of rhinitis are diagnosed with non-allergic rhinitis. Positive skin prick test or specific IgE in vitro tests that are relevant to aeroallergens </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>are conclusive diagnostic of allergic rhinitis. However, simple diagnostic method such as "sneezing sign" has already proved to be </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>reliable. Hypersensitive children have humoral immune system (Th2) which release inflammatory factors in the presence of allergen </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>or infection that contribute to allergic response. Immunological reactions occurred and antibodies concentration arise, especially </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>specific IgE instead of IgG because of the isotype switching. A lot of procedures such as allergen avoidance, medication and </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>immunotherapy were done in allergic rhinitis management. However, oral plaque controls were not the point of interest in this case. </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>The aim of this study is to find out the effectiveness of oral plaque control in the reduction of severity of allergic rhinitis symptoms </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>using symptom scores. Fifty children, male and female aged 8–14 years, subjective diagnosed as allergic rhinitis using "sneezing </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>sign" were included in this study. Oral plaque control procedures were done by polishing and flossing followed by 4 days of gargling </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>with 1% povidone iodine. Clinical result showed that after 3 days, oral plaque control 2.925 times more effective than control </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>group. The conclusion was oral plaque control is effective reducing the severity of allergic rhinitis symptoms.</em></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>
