Abstract

On the denture base, various bacteria form plaque that leads to caries and halitosis. Small white ginger (Zingiber officinale var. Amarum) containing gingerol and shogaol as antibacterial agents, can be an alternative to a denture cleanser paste. This research was analyze the effect of small white ginger paste against denture’s bacteria on heat-cured acrylic resin. True Experimental Study with a control group using post-test only. Ninety heat-cured acrylic resin plates were divided into three groups. Antibacterial activity was tested using the dilution method and bacterial colonies were counted using a colony counter. Data were analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U tests. The treatment group using small white ginger paste showed no bacterial colony growth. Under the conditions of this study, both the 100% small white ginger extract paste and the positive control showed 0 CFU/mL after treatment. No statistically significant difference in colony counts was observed between the two groups; however, these findings should not be interpreted as evidence of equivalence, as the study employed a post-test-only design and did not include baseline measurements. The results prove that small white ginger paste showed antibacterial action against the denture’s bacteria.
