Abstract

Streptococcus mutans is one of the constituent micro-organisms of dental plaque. These bacteria adhere to the denture base causing plaque that causes denture stomatitis. To reduce the growth of S.mutans, cleaning is done by brushing and soaking with herbal ingredients that can inhibit the growth of these bacteria, namely ajwa dates (Phoenix dactylifera L.). This study dis-cusses the inhibition and minimum killing power of ADE on the growth of S.mutans through experimental tests with disc diffu-sion and dilussion techniques with post test group type using 24 samples. The results of the Anova test obtained p-value= 0.000 (p<0.05), meaning that there is a significant difference between ADE treatments of 1.5625%, 3.125%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 25% and 50%. It is concluded that the MIC value of EKA is 12.5% while the MKC value of EKA is 50%.

Abstract

Effervescent tablets are a type of pharmaceutical formulation; they are a mixture of acids and bases that release carbon di-oxide and produce foam when dissolved in water. This article discusses the water content of effervescent tablets used as den-ture cleansers made from 6.5% cocoa bean shell extract (Theobroma cacao L.). A true experimental study was conducted using 16 effervescent tablets and a moisture analyser. The comparison test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). This in-dicates that there is a significant difference in the water content of 6.5% CBS effervescent tablets and alkaline peroxide ef-fervescent tablets. It is concluded that there is a significant difference between the water content of CBS effervescent ta-blets and alkaline peroxide effervescent tablets, but both meet the requirements for good water content (≤ 10%).

Abstract

Tablet effervescent adalah salah satu formula farmasi; merupakan campuran asam dan basa yang melepaskan karbon dioksida dan menghasilkan buih ketika dilarutkan dalam air. Artikel ini membahas kadar air pembersih gigi tiruan berupa tablet effervescent dari ekstrak kulit buah kakao (Theobroma cacao L.) 6,5%. Penelitian true experimental, digunakan sampel 16 tablet effervescent menggunakan alat moisture analyzer. Uji perbandingan menunjukkan p-value 0,000 (<0,05). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan signifikan kadar air tablet effervescent KBK 6,5% dengan kadar air tablet effervescent alkalin peroksida. Disimpulkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kadar air tablet effervescent KBK dan effervescent alkalin peroksida tetapi sesuai syarat kadar air yang baik (≤ 10%).
