UJI EFEKTIVITAS ANTIBAKTERI PASTA GIGI EKSTRAK DAUN JERUK PURUT (Citrus hystrix) TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN Streptococcus mutans PENYEBAB KARIES GIGI
Abstract
Lime leaves (Citrus hystrix) contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and
essensial oils that can inhibit the growth Streptococcus mutans which bacteria that be
cause of caries dentis. The study was conducted to know the formulation of extract of
lime leaves (Citrus hystrix) and to know the effectiveness of toothpaste extract of
lime leaves (Citrus hystrix) against Streptococcus mutans.
Toothpaste extract of lime leaves (Citrus hystrix) was made refers to the draft
formula by Sari (2014), it tested of quality use homogenity test, organoleptic test, and
pH test. Toothpaste extract of lime leaves (Citrus hystrix) 5%, 15%, 25%, without the
extract and control positive (Pepsodent®) in test using diffusion method using TSA.
The antibacterial power calculation using measurements of the zone of inhibition.
The data of quality evaluation of toothpaste was analyzing with descriptive. The data
were analyzed using One-way ANOVA test and continued with the Tukey test.
The average diameter of the inhibitory zones toothpaste extract of lime leaves
concentrations of 5%, 15%, 25%, without extract and control positive (Pepsodent®)
in row are 2,06; 2,96; 3,83; 0 and 12,50 mm. Toothpast extract of lime leaves
concentrations of 25% is better based quality evaluation test.Toothpast extract of lime
leaves (Citrus hystrix) with concentrations of 5%, 15% and 25% can inhibit the
growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria but it not as effective when compare of the
control positive (Pepsodent®).
