PERBEDAAN KHASIAT ANTIBAKTERI BAHAN IRIGASI LARUTAN PROPOLIS DAN SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE TERHADAP BAKTERI Streptococcus viridans

Abstract

Background. Bacteria is main etiologycal factor of pulpo-periapical disease. Therefore, eliminating bacteria is the important part on root canal treatment. It can be obtained by using irrigation agent that has antibacterial effect and endodontic sterilization agent. Beside of its antibacterial effect, the ideal irrigation agent should has an ability to remove necrotic tissue and less toxic. Propolis is well known as a natural substain that has antibacterial effect and less toxicity. So, it has a potential use as irrigation agent compared with common root canal irrigation agent, sodium hypochloryte. Purpose. The aim of this study was to observed the difference of antibacterial effect between propolis solution and sodium hypochlorite. Method. Nine samples of Streptococcus viridans were prepared and each sample devided into three parts namely group P (propolis solution), group N (sodium hypochlorite), and control group S (saline). Each group was treated with 0,01 cc agent of root canal irrigation, then was stored in incubator 370C for 24 hours. After that, inhibition zone diameter of each group was observed.Result. The average of inhibition zone diameters in sodium hypochlorite’s group was 23,47 mm; in propolis solution’s group was 18,70 mm. There were significant difference of antibacterial effect between propolis solution and sodium hypochlorite, against Streptococcus viridans. Conclussion. Antibacterial effect of sodium hypochlorite is higher than propolis solution, but we should consider the potential use of natural agent-propolis solution as root canal irrigation due to its antibacterial effect.

Inhibition of green okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) extract against Enterococcus faecalis in tooth root canals

“…19 In contrast to 2.5% NaOCl which only consists of a few chemical elements such as sodium, oxide, and chlorine has a complex antibacterial mechanism through saponification, neutralization and chloramination reactions so that is more effective at inhibiting bacterial growth. 20 Based on the research, it can be concluded that 6.25% and 12.5% green okra extract has inhibition against E. faecalis. 12.5% green okra extract is a concentration with an inhibitory strength close to 2.5% NaOCl, but there is no concentration of green extract that effectively inhibits E.faecalis equivalent to 2.5% NaOCl.…”

“…NaOCl hanya terdiri dari sedikit unsur kimia, yaitu natrium, oksida dan klorin sehingga memiliki daya antibakteri yang maksimal. 21 Ekstrak kasar BOH yang menggunakan pelarut organik (etanol) dalam proses ekstraksi seringkali mengandung senyawa yang tidak diinginkan seperti zat warna (klorofil a dan b, karotenoid, antosianin), karbohidrat, lilin, resin. 22 Keberadaan semua senyawa tersebut menyebabkan ketidakstabilan sifat fisika ekstrak ketika akan diformulasikan serta dapat mengurangi kadar senyawa aktif dalam ekstrak.…”

Differences in fracture resistance after root canal irrigation using guava leaf extract (Psidium guajava L.) and lime juice (Citrus aurantifolia)

“…Larutan irigasi yang umum digunakan dalam endodontik, yaitu CHX 2%, karena memiliki efek antimikoba yang luas dan dapat bertahan lama dengan kemampuannya melekat pada dinding saluran akar. [6][7][8] Pemanfaatan bahan alam sebagai obat tradisional di Indonesia akhir-akhir ini meningkat, bahkan beberapa bahan alam telah diproduksi secara fabrikasi dalam skala besar. Penggunaan obat tradisional dinilai memiliki efek samping lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan obat dari bahan kimia, selain harganya lebih terjangkau.…”
