Abstract

Tooth discoloration is one of the most common concerns associated with dental appearance or cosmetic issues. Teeth whitening is one of the conservative procedures that may be utilized to overcome tooth discoloration (bleaching). Utilizing natural bleaching agents is a safer, less expensive, and more accessible option. Malic acid (malic acid) and elegat acid (allegic acid) obtained from fruits can be used to whiten teeth. White pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is one of these all-natural components. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of white pomegranate extract gel as a bleaching agent against tooth discoloration. This research utilizes an experimental laboratory design. There were 24 mandibular second premolars utilized as samples. All teeth were submerged for seven days in the coffee solution. Utilizing spectrophotometry, tooth discoloration was measured. After being soaked in a coffee solution and then a white pomegranate extract gel, the item was dried. Group 1: teeth soaked in white pomegranate extract gel with a concentration of 70%. Group 2: teeth soaked in white pomegranate extract gel with a concentration of 80%. Group 3: teeth soaked in white pomegranate extract gel with a concentration of 90%. Group 4: 10% carbamide peroxide gel as a positive control. Each specimen was immersed for 56 hours. Using a spectrophotometer, tooth discoloration was assessed following immersion in white pomegranate gel extract and carbamide peroxide gel. Based on the results of the LSD test, the % group was determined to be the most effective as a teeth whitening agent. White pomegranate extract gel has an influence on tooth discoloration and tooth whitening attempts.

Abstract

Starfruit is a popular fruit because of its sour nature. The acidic nature of starfruit, with an acidic pH of 1-2, has an effect on restoration materials. Compressive strength is a mechanical property of nanohybrid composite resin that is a requirement for successful long-term restoration. Composite resins have their own limitations, such as the physical properties of liquid absorption, which result in the degradation of the matrix polymer network due to exposure to drinks with an acidic pH. This research aims to determine the effect of soaking time on the compressive strength of nanohybrid composite resin soaked in starfruit extract. This type of research is laboratory experimental with a true experimental design and a posttest-only control group design. The sample is cylindrical, with a diameter of 5 mm and a thickness of 4 mm. The treatment groups in this study consisted of the nanohybrid composite resin group soaked in starfruit extract for 9, 27, and 54 hours and the control group treated without soaking. Testing using the Universal Testing Machine tool. Data were analyzed using One Way Anova. The one-way Anova test obtained a significance value of 0.003 (p<0.05), so the research hypothesis was accepted. There was a decrease in the compressive strength of the nanohybrid composite resin soaked in starfruit extract.
