Objective: To find out the difference in the plaque index scores of FPD users before and after using a 12.5% VCO mouthwash. Methods:The plaque index measurement of an abutment tooth was taken on 40 subjects with FPD in both test and control groups. Subjects used a 12.5% VCO mouthwash or aquades twice a day for 4 days after brushing their teeth. Statistical analysis of the measurement result of the plaque index scores before and after using the coconut oil mouthwash was done using the Wilcoxon test.Results: There is a statistically significant difference in the plaque index scores of FPD users before and after using the 12.5% VCO mouthwash with a statistically significant decrease in plaque index scores among restoration margin locations and tooth brushing habits, but not among age and gender groups. Conclusion:Using a 12.5% VCO mouthwash may decrease the plaque index of fixed prosthetic denture users.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical effect microbiological of pure coconut oil 12.5% on the decrease in a number of bacteria P. gingivalis and T. denticola on the margin of porcelain fused to metal crown.Methods: 23 subjects, were patients with porcelain fused to metal crown in posterior of Faculty of Dentisty Universitas Indonesia 'dental hospital. They fill the informed consent, clinical periodontal examination. Patients were gargled twice daily with a pure coconut oil 12.5% of 30cc for 1 min performed for 4 days. Sampling of saliva were collected with paper point for calculating the number of bacteria P. gingivalis and T. denticola using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Conclusion:Using Pure coconut oil 12.5% showed decrease amount of bacteria P. gingivalis and T. denticola in the margin porcelain fused to metal crown.
