Comparison of blood clam (anadara granosa) shell paste, shrimp (litopenaeus vannamei) shell paste and casein phosphopeptide-amorphus calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste as teeth remineralization material

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the comparison of blood clam (anadara granosa) shell paste, shrimp (litopenaeus vannamei) shell paste and casein phosphopeptideamorphus calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste as teeth remineralization material. Material and Methods: This study was an experimental laboratory with cross sectional design. Study sample was 15 maxillary central incisors that were applied with 35% hydrogen peroxide for 2 hours, then assessed with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). Samples were divided into 3 groups: 5 samples were applied using blood clam (anadara granosa) shell paste, 5 samples using shrimp shell paste and 5 samples were applied using CPP-ACP paste every 8 hours for 14 consecutive days then checked with EDS. Data analysis using SPSS test independent t-test to see comparison of blood clam (anadara granosa) shell paste, shrimp (litopenaeus vannamei) shell paste and casein phosphopeptide-amorphus calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste as teeth remineralization material. Results: The result of this study showed P> 0.05 which means there was no significant difference between blood clam shell paste, shrimp shell paste and CPP-ACP mineral composition. Conclusion: Blood clam shell paste and shrimp shell paste has an effective value to be used as tooth remineralization material.

Evaluation of Calcium and Phosphorus content in Scallop Shells (Placuna placenta) and Blood Cockle Shells (Anadara granosa) from Banyuasin Waters, South Sumatra

“…Indonesian society has not fully utilized the potential of all bivalvia, usually eating only the meat, while the shells are discarded and become waste in the environment (Mediarman et al, 2021). Bivalvia shell contains a high potential of 98% calcium carbonate, while shrimp shells consist of 75% calcium carbonate of the total weight per individual, which can be used optimally (Asmawati et al, 2018). According to Jeon and Yeom (2009), many home and fishing industries in the coastal throw away shells of various types of shellfish, being not used as raw material for their industry.…”
