Abstract

Background: Periodontal disease is one of oral and dental health problems that suffered by many people in the world and occurs in 50% of adult population. Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans are the main bacteria that cause periodontitis. One of the plants that is often used as an alternative antimicrobial agent is citronella (Cymbopogon nardus L.) which contains citronellal and geraniol compounds. This study aims to determine whether the essential oils of lemongrass leaves have inhibitory effect on the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in vitro. Method: The production of lemongrass essential oils is carried out by the distillation method and 25%, 50%, and 75% concentration of essential oils are diluted using Tween 20 and distilled water. The inhibition test was carried out by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method on Mueller Hinton Agar media. Result: The analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the inhibitory power produced by each concentration of essential oil of citronella leaf on the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is the essential oils of lemon grass with concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% have different inhibitory properties in inhibiting the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans.

Abstract

Introduction: Plaque is a transparent layer that requires a coloring agent in the form of a disclosing agent to visualize it. Erythrosine, as one of the frequently used disclosing agents, has potential toxic side effects if used in the long term. Therefore, this study aims to compare the effectiveness of color absorption between tablets based on extracts and fractions of mangosteen fruit peel (Garcinia mangostana L.) with erythrosine as a control. Materials and Methods: This study employed a laboratory experimental design with a post-test-only controlled group design. A total of 36 healthy dental samples were divided into 9 groups, which were soaked in saliva for 8, 24, and 48 hours. After plaque formation, tablets of extracts, mangosteen peel fractions, and erythrosine were applied to the teeth. Results and Discussion: The results of analysis using the One-way ANOVA test showed that erythrosine tablets had significantly higher color absorption than the extract and mangosteen peel fraction tablets. Conclusion: Erythrosine is still a more effective option in highlighting dental plaque, but mangosteen peel-based tablets can be a safer natural alternative with potential for further development. Further research is recommended to optimize the formulation of mangosteen peel tablets to improve their effectiveness and convenience in clinical applications.
