BACKGROUND: Dental disease is a significant public health problem. Various efforts have been made to maintain oral health by utilizing natural ingredients from plants. One of the natural ingredients often used among the community is Vegetable Starfruit Juice (Averrhoa bilimbi) and Rosella Tea.
AIM: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of Starfruit and rosella tea (Hibiscus sabdariffa L) on the Inhibition of Dental Plaque Formation.
METHODS: Design this research is an experimental study with a post-test design only. The research was conducted in Gampong Batoh, Lueng Bata District, Banda Aceh City, from June 26 to October 04, 2021. The study population was the community of Gampong Batoh, Banda Aceh City. The sample in this study used a purposive sampling technique. The sample in this study met the criteria and was willing to assist in implementing the research by signing the informed consent. The number of research samples was 40 people.
RESULTS: The results showed a significant difference in the effectiveness of Starfruit juice and rosella tea on the inhibition of plaque formation based on time duration (p < 0.05). The group that rinsed with rosella tea solution had more effective inhibition than the group that rinsed with vegetable Starfruit juice solution (p < 0.05). Vegetable Starfruit (A. bilimbi) and Rosella Tea contain bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins that can act as antibacterial agents in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus.
CONCLUSION: Vegetable Starfruit Juice (A. bilimbi) and Rosella Tea (H. sabdariffa L) effectively inhibit the formation of dental plaque.Downloads
