| dc.description.abstract | Poor denture hygiene could be a risk factor for denture
stomatitis. Tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tabacum L.) can be used as a
base for denture cleaning because tobacco leaves contain ingredients
that are antibacterial and antifungal. Is there any effect of tobacco
leaf extract (Nicotiana tabacum L.) effervescent tablets with a
concentration of 25%, 50%, 75%, as an acrylic resin denture cleaner
on the growth of C albicans and an effective concentration in the
formulation of tobacco leaf extract effervescent tablets as a acrylic
resin denture cleaner against the growth of C.albicans
Material and Methods: The type of this research is a laboratory
experimental study with a randomized posttest only control group
design. The samples were divided into 5 sample groups, namely:
acrylic plate immersed in Effervescent tablet of tobacco leaf extract
with a concentration of 25%, 50%, 75% for 30 minutes, acrylic plate
for the commercially sold effervescent tablet for 20 minutes and
acrylic plate immersed in distilled water for 30 minutes. The acrylic
resin plate contaminated with C.albicans was then measured using a
spectrometer to see the turbidity. Then the data analyzed using one
way ANOVA.
Results: There were significant differences in all groups, except for
the effervescent tablets of tobacco leaf extract (nicotiana tabacum
L.) with 75% concentration and commercially sold denture cleanser
effervescent tablets which was .473. There was no significant
difference.
Conclusion: Effervescent tablets of Tobacco leaf (Nicotiana tabacum
L.) are 75% effective in inhibiting C.albicans with immersion time of
30 minutes. | en_US |
