PENGARUH APLIKASI PASTA CANGKANG TELUR AYAM NEGERI SELAMA 2 MINGGU TERHADAP GAMBARAN MIKROPOROSITAS EMAIL GIGI
Abstract
Background: Chicken eggshells contain high calcium containing 97% calcium
carbonate. Calcium carbonate contained in chicken eggshells can be converted to
hydroxyapatite or calcium composition, which can be used as a composition of
tooth structure that increases demineralization
Objective: To determine the effect of domestic chicken egg shell paste application
on remineralization of enamel using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
Method: This type of research is a laboratory experimental with a post test only
control group design. The sample used in this study was 5 premolars which had
been smeared with acid etching for 60 seconds.
Samples that have been ordered for acid etching are then applied to the chicken
egg shell paste on the buccal part of the tooth for 24 hours 1 time for 14 days.
Tooth enamel remineralization was analyzed using the Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM) with remineralization indicators that compared dental samples
before and after the chicken egg shell paste was applied qualitatively.
Result: Close enamel microporosity occurred after the application of chicken egg
shell paste with irregular surface details, and in some parts of the surface there
was little microporosity.
Conclusion: the calcium needed in chicken eggshells can be removed by tooth
enamel structure due to acid etching demineralization. This can be seen from the
change in surface of the enamel microporosity, including the closure of the email
prism after the application of the country's chicken egg shell paste for 14 days.
Being able to increase domestic chicken eggshells can improve remineralization
of tooth enamel.
