Abstract

Candida albicans is the most common microorganism found in removable denture wearers. Dentistry has utilised natural herbal ingredients as antifungal-clinical alternatives. One of the developed herbal ingredients is ajwa kurma fruit (Phoenix dactylifera L.). This study was conducted to determine the effect of BKA extract on the growth of C.albicans with concentrations of 3.25%, 6.5%, 12.5%, 25%, and 50%. True experimental laboratory research with tests conducted in the laboratory with a research design in the form of posttest only design. The mean value of the smallest inhibition occurred in the 3.25% concentration treatment at 6.87 while the mean value of the largest inhibition occurred at a concentration of 50% at 8.31. With Kruskall wallis test obtained 0.000 (p-value <0.05). The mean value of the smallest killing power occurred at a 50% concentration of 0.00. It was concluded that the concentration of 3.25% ajwa date extract was the minimum inhibitory concentration and 50% concentration was the minimum kill concentration.
Comparison of fruit pulp and seed extracts of ajwa date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L) against the growth of Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans: Perbandingan ekstrak daging buah dan biji kurma ajwa (Phoenix dactylifera L) terhadap pertumbuhan Streptococcus mutans dan Candida albicans Maqhfirah Amiruddin; Mohammad Dharma Utama; Chusnul Chotimah; Amanah Pertiwisari; Eri Hendra Jubhari; Kurniaty Pamewa; Riqzzah Azzuhri

Abstract

S.mutans bacteria were present in 75.4% of denture users; C.albicans was found more, however. Herbal materials that are rich in antibacterial and antifungal content, began to be developed in the field of dentistry, one of which is the fruit pulp (FPA), or seeds (SA) of ajwa which are classified as high in waste. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum kill concentration (MKC) in the comparison of FPA and SA (Phoenix dactylifera L) extracts against the growth of S.mutans and C.albicans were studied. Laboratory experimental research with posttest only design; data were processed and analysed using one-way Anova test. With a p-value of 0.017 which is smaller than 0.05, it is shown that the treatment concentrations of 3.25%, 6.50%, 12.50%, 25%, and 50% have a significant effect. The MIC value of SA extract against S.mutans was 3.25%, while for FPA it was 12.5%. The MKC value of SA extract against C.albicans was 12.5% and for FPA was 50%. It is concluded that 3.25% SA extract can strongly inhibit the growth of Streptococcus, while FPA inhibits with a concentration of 12.5%. SA and FPA extracts of 3.25% have inhibited the growth of C.albicans.
