DAYA ANTIBAKTERI EKSTRAK DAUN TEH HIJAU (Camellia sinensis) TERHADAP BAKTERI Porphyromonas gingivalis
Abstract
Periodontitis is a periodontal tissue inflammation characterized by
migration of the junctional epithelium to the apical, loss of bone attachment and
alveolar bone resorption. One of the pathogenic bacteria that causes periodontitis
is Porphyromonas gingivalis. One of potentially plant on blocking or killing
Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria is green tea with its active compund on its
leaves called katekin.
The goal of the research is intended to test the difference effectiveness of
anti bacteria capacity of the green tea extract (camellia sinensis) to the growth of
Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria
The using of maseri method in getting the green tea extract by using
etanol.The using of diffusion method for testing the anti bacteria activity with the
concentration of 100%, 70%, 50%, 40%, 30%.
The test results showed that extract of Camellia sininesis has MIC against
Streptococcus viridans each at a concentration of 100%, 70%, 50% 40%, and
30%.
There is an effectiveness difference of green tea extract antibacteria
capacity to the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria used to block the
growth of bacteria and the green tea extract with the most effective antibacteria
capacity of 100% concentration.
