| Summary: | <span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>Graptophyllum pictum, in Indonesian is named 'daun ungu', is one of the traditional plants usually used as haemorrhoids medicament </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>in Indonesia; it is composed from alkaloid, pectin, saponin, tannin, flavonoid and alcohol. Graptophyllum pictum is able to prevent </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>the growth of Streptococcus mutans. The purpose of this investigation is to study the effect of Graptophyllum pictum extract toward </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>the growth of plaque on acrylic resin complete denture. For this plaque growth research, 40 samples of acrylic resin complete </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>denture were used, which divided into four groups. Those samples were first treated by cleansing each denture from saliva with </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>running water. The existence of plaque on the complete denture was known by means of disclosing agent. The plaque was then </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>scored by using modified Quigley Hein index, in this case until the plaque was scored zero. The second treatment was soaking the </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>Group I to IV denture samples in Graptophyllum pictum extract with various concentration 5%, 10%, 20% and 40%, each for 15 </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>minutes. Following this, the dentures were worn by the patients again for four hours, and then removed and washed with water. </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>Then the disclosing agent were rubbed on the dentures and subsequently washed with water. The obtained data were analyzed by </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>One-way variant analysis and t-test. The study result showed there were significant differences among the growth of plaque on </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>acrylic resin complete denture which was soaked in different concentration of Graptophyllum pictum extract (p < 0.05). Regarding </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>this result it can be concluded that Graptophyllum pictum extract could inhibit the plaque growth on acrylic resin complete denture. </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>And it seems also that the highest plaque growth inhibition on acrylic resin complete denture is caused by the 40% concentration </em><span style="font-family: Tribune,Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>extract of Graptophyllum pictum.</em></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> |
