| dc.description.abstract | Background: Cleaning in denture base is needed to reduce the Candida
albicans colonization and prevent denture stomatitis. Denture cleaning can be
mechanically cleaned with a toothbrush, or chemically cleaned by immersion.
Another natural ingredient that can be used for immersion is edamame (Glycine
max (L.) Merrill) extract because it contains saponins, which contain antifungal
compounds that can inhibit C. albicans. The purpose of this study was to
determine the effectiveness of edamame extract (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) as a
heat-cured acrylic resin denture cleanser with concentrations of 25%, 50%,
75%, and 100% by soaking for 8 hours against the amount of C. albicans.
Method: This research is a laboratory experimental study with 50 samples
divided into 5 groups. The research group consisted of immersion acrylic resin
samples with C. albicans contamination for 8 hours in the control group, namely
sterile distilled water and the treatment group, namely edamame extract with
concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% and then spectrophotometer test to
see the absorbance of C. albicans.
Result: The ANOVA test result showed p <0.005 Based on the results of the LSD
test, it showed that there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in most groups except
the control group against the acrylic group soaked in 25% edamame extract and
acrylic soaked in 75% edamame extract against the acrylic group soaked in 50%
and 100% of edamame extract
Conclusion: Edamame extract at 100% concentration as acrylic resin denture
cleanser was the most effective in reducing the amount of C. albicans by
soaking for 8 hours | en_US |
