Abstract

Various therapeutic agents can be used to help maintain a neutral condition in the oral cavity, one of which is mouthwash. However, mouthwash uses synthetic active chemical ingredients which, in the long term, may pose risks to health; in certain levels, it has been reported to cause side effects and is toxic. Bangle rhizome (Zingiber montanum) is a natural ingredient that contains various phytochemicals and has antibacterial properties. This research aims to observe the extent of inhibitory property of bangle rhizome against the growth of Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Enterococcus faecalis. The ethanol extract of bangle rhizome was divided into 5 concentrations (60% w/v, 70% w/v, 80% w/v, 90% w/v, and 100% w/v). The inhibitory property test was performed using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test with 3 replications. Chlorhexidine 0.2% was used as positive control and DMSO 10% was used as negative control. The results of this research showed that the ethanol extract of bangle rhizome could inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Enterococcus faecalis bacteria in all concentrations.

Abstract

Black betel leaves (Piper betle L. var nigra) are known to have antibacterial effects caused by secondary metabolites such as tannins, phenolic compounds, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and steroids. This study aims to assess the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract of black betel leaves (Piper betle L. var nigra) against S. mutans, P. gingivalis, and E. faecalis by measuring the diameter of the inhibition zone formed. This research is a type of pure experimental research (true experimental) with post test only control group design. This experimental research was conducted using the disc diffusion method in vitro, the bacteria were treated with black betel leaf extract (Piper betle L. var nigra) with a concentration variation of 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100%. The experiment was repeated three times. The results showed that black betel leaf (Piper betle L. var nigra) had antibacterial activity against two of the three bacteria. This activity was observed through the presence of distinct clear zones around the paper disks. In conclusion, extracts derived from black betel leaf (Piper betle L. var nigra) had antibacterial activity against S. mutans and P. gingivalis bacteria at 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% concentrations. However, it did not have antibacterial activity against E. faecalis bacteria.
