“…Root canal cleanliness constitutes one of the parameters for effective root canal treatment since research has shown that the smear layer on the root canal walls covers the dentinal tubules. A smear layer constitutes a mixture of organic and inorganic particles that can accumulate during the preparation process relating to the root canal walls 8 and whose cleanliness is observable under SEM, thereby enabling calculation of the number of clean and unclogged dentinal tubules. 11,12 A significant body of recent research has been undertaken into the natural ingredient phytomedicine because of its advantages when compared to the chemical agents currently widely employed within the field of dentistry.…”

“…7 At a concentration of 8%, propolis is more effective at cleaning the root canal walls of smear layer compared to 2.5% NaOCl. 8 In addition to propolis, another natural ingredient whose use is rapidly gaining in popularity is cocoa pod husk extract (Theobroma cacao) which contains in excess of 500 different chemicals and has traditionally been used as an antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, immunomodulator, vasodilator, antimicrobial, and analgesic. 9 Cocoa pod husk extract can impede the formation of Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) bacterial biofilm at a minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) of 3.12% and possesses significant potential as an alternative root canal irrigation agent.…”

Background: The existence of the smear layer, which can be produced during root canal instrumentation, may compromise the bond between filling material and the root canal walls. Therefore, the use of an effective root canal irrigation solution, a commonly employed form of which is sodium hypochloride (NaOCl), is important. Sodium hypochloride has several positive properties including effectiveness as a disinfectant agent and its ability to promote tissue-dissolution, although it is ineffective at cleaning the smear layer. There have been numerous recent studies of the application of phytomedicines in endodontics due to their advantages such as minimum toxicity and cost effectiveness. The saponin contained in both the propolis and cocoa pod husk acts as a surfactant that may lower surface tension and dissolve debris containing organic and anorganic materials. Purpose: The study aimed to provide evidence of the differences between root canal wall cleanliness when treated with 8% propolis extract and different concentrations of cocoa pod husk extract. Methods: 25 extracted teeth with single straight root canals were randomly divided into five categories (n=5). Sample preparation was performed using a rotary file and irrigated with different solutions. The first group was administered 2.5% NaOCl, the second group 8% propolis, the third group 3.12% cocoa pod husk extract, the fourth group 6.25% cocoa pod husk extract, and the fifth group 12.50% cocoa pod husk extract. The samples were then dissected into two sections at the apical third and their cleanliness scores subjected to a Mann-Whitney test with a significance level of p=0.05. Results: A significant difference was identified between all groups (p<0.05) and on the median control test, the highest value of 1.6 was recorded by the 6.25% cocoa pod husk extract, compared to the other four groups Conclusion: Cocoa pod husk extract demonstrates greater efficacy at cleaning root canal walls compared to 8% propolis extract.

“…11 Indonesia is considered to have a diverse range of local bee species, including the honey bee or Apis mellifera that produce most of Indonesia's propolis. 12 The properties of propolis compounds depend on the polyphenol and content of polyphenols, both of which are influenced by seasonal factors, local vegetation, place of origin, bee species and the condition of propolis in either fresh or preserved form. 13 Propolis is made up of resin and balsam (50-70%), wax and essential oils (30-50%), pollen (5-10%), and other components such as minerals, amino acids, vitamins A, B complex, E and biochemically active ingredients including bioflavonoids (vitamin P), phenols, and aromatic compounds.…”

Background: According to Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) (2013) and the World Health Organisation (WHO), caries is still a global problem and highly prevalent in Indonesia. Caries is mainly caused by Streptococcus mutans with virulence factors known as glucosyltransferase (GTF). The GTF enzyme contribute to the pathogenesis of caries by converting sucrose to fructose and glucan, which are then used in the formation of biofilms and dental plaques. Natural propolis compounds containing flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins and tannins, can inhibit GTF enzyme activity. Purpose: This study aimed to determine an effective concentration of propolis extract for inhibiting the S. mutans GTF enzyme activity. Methods: This study used propolis extract at 14 μg/ mL, 16 μg/m and 1 μg/mL to determine the inhibitory effect on S. mutans GTF enzyme activity. The GTF enzyme were obtained from the supernatant from S. mutans culture centrifugation. The GTF enzyme activity was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to calculate the fructose level. Results: The mean fructose concentration at 14 μg/mL, 16 μg/mL, and 18μg/mL were 3.31%, 1.56%, and 0.29%, respectively. Conclusion: The most effective concentration of propolis extract for inhibiting the effect of S. mutans GTF enzyme activity is 14 μg/mL.

“…8 Ideally, irrigants have antibacterial properties, the ability to dissolve necrotic tissue, and have a low level of toxicity. 9 Seventeen percent of EDTA solution can soften root canal dentin because it can dissolve the inorganic components of the smear layer. 10 In contrast to NaOCL, which has a broad spectrum of the antibacterial activities, 17% EDTA has lower antibacterial power.…”

Introduction: The common bacteria found in infected root canals are Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (20%). S. aureus infection can spread to the periapical tissues causing periapical lesions. Pulp necrosis requires root canal treatment. One of the irrigants used in root canal treatment is 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (17% EDTA). This material can soften the root canal dentine making it easier to prepare because it can dissolve the inorganic material of smear layer. The disadvantage of 17% EDTA is low antibacterial power, so an alternative irrigation material is needed. Irrigants should ideally be antibacterial. The green okra fruit extract contains antibacterial properties such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids. This study aims to determine the antibacterial ability of green okra fruit extract concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100% against S. aureus. Methods: This type of research was an in-vitro laboratory experiment with a posttest-only control group design. The antibacterial test used the disc diffusion method consisted of 6 groups, i.e, green okra fruit extract concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 17% EDTA (positive control), and aquadest (negative control). Antibacterial ability indicated by the clear zone around the disc paper Results: The average diameter of the inhibition zone was green okra fruit extract concentrations of 12.5% (12.14 mm), 25% (14.89 mm), 50% (18.53 mm), 100% (21.1 mm ), 17% EDTA (22.08 mm), and aquadest (0 mm). The results were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney test and showed a significant difference between all research groups (α <0.05). Conclusion: The antibacterial ability of green okra fruit extract (Abelmoschus esculentus) increased from concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100%, but still lower than the antibacterial ability of 17% EDTA against Staphylococcus aureus.
