Abstract

Green betel leaves contain essential oils consisting of phenol and its derivatives, including betlephenol, estragol, kavikol, eugenol, and diastene enzymes. Betel leaf infusion is able to inhibit the growth of bacteria caused plaque. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of steeping betel leaves on plaque index in children aged 12-15 years old in coastal village of Southeast Regency. This is a quasi-experimental one group pre-post test research. The variable measured was dental hygiene using the Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) plaque index. The treatment given to research subjects was giving steeping water and then gargled for 60 seconds. After that, the plaque index was measured. The data obtained were tabulated and presented in tabular form and tested using paired t-test. The results showed that the plaque index before gargling betel leaf stew was mostly in the bad criteria (60%). Furthermore, after gargling betel leaf decoction, the most plaque index was in the medium category (64%). The results of the paired-t test obtained a p value of 0.000 (p <0.05). This value indicates that there is a difference in the plaque index before and after being given treatment, which means that there is an effect of giving betel leaf infusion on the plaque index. It can be concluded that betel leaf infusion is effective in improving the plaque index in children aged 12-15 years old.

Abstract

Background: Plaque is a soft deposit that sticks tightly to the surface of the teeth. Plaque can be controlled by regular brushing and the use of mouthwash. Plaque control by gargling can use traditional plant materials, one of which is lime (Citrus aurantifolia). Lime contains compounds that are antibacterial, namely essential oils that can inhibit the growth of bacteria plaque formation. One of the populations with dental and oral health problems is adolescents. The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of gargling lime juice (Citrus aurantifolia) on plaque index in adolescent girls aged 18-20 years. Methods: This is a pseudo-experimental research. The pre-experimental design used is one group pre testpost test design. This research was carried out in May 2024 in Manado City. A total of 42 female remakami aged 18-20 years were sampled in this study. The variable measured was the plaque index. The treatment given is gargling with lime juice. The instruments of this research are a set diagnostic tool, and a plaque index examination format. The research material is lime juice. The data obtained, tabulated and then analyzed using the paired sample t-test. Research Results: The results showed that the average plaque index before gargling with lime juice is 2.1809 and after gargling is 0.3357. There was a difference in the decrease in plaque index before and after gargling lime juice, which was 1.8452. The results of the paired t-test sample obtained a significance value of 0.000. This value shows that there is a significant difference in plaque index between subjects who gargle with orange leaf decoction and those who do not. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the habit of gargling with lime juice can reduce plaque index in adolescent girls aged 18-20 years in Manado city.
