Pengaruh Perendaman Nilon Termoplastis Dalam Tablet Effervescent Ekstrak Biji Edamame (Glycine Max L. Merrill) Konsentrasi 50% Terhadap Perubahan Warna
Abstract
Introduction: thermoplastic nylon is a denture base material that has elastic
properties and is used for patients who are allergic to materials such as resin and
metal. Patients who wear dentures have to be cleans to prevent plaque
accumulation that causes denture stomatitis. Denture cleans can be done by
mechanical, chemical methods, or a combination of both. One method for cleaning
chemical dentures is in the form of effervescent tablets. An alternative natural
ingredient that can be made into effervescent tablets is edamame seed extract which
contains antifungal and antibacterial properties such as saponins, flavonoids,
tannins and phenols. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of immersing
thermoplastic nylon in effervescent tablets from edamame seed extract at a
concentration of 50% on color changes. Method: This experimental study used a
pre-post test control group design. Thermoplastic nylon was manipulated by
injection molding method. Edamame seed extract effervescent tablets with a 50%
concentration were made using the direct compression method, and compared with
immersion in distilled water and commercial effervescent tablets. Results: Group
that was immersed in commercial effervescent tablets had the greatest effect in
color changing of thermoplastic nylon (ΔE = 1,96) among all groups, followed by
those that in effervescent tablets of edamame extract and distilled water, which had
ΔE of 1,49 and 1,13, respectively. Conclusion: Soaking in effervescent tablets of
edamame seed extract at a concentration of 50% for 16 days had a significant effect
on increasing the color changes of thermoplastic nylon denture bases.
