The Inhibition of Green Okra Fruit (Abelmoschus Esculentus) Extract against Streptococcus Viridans Root Canals of Teeth
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Background:Streptococcus viridans is the most frequently isolated bacterium from infected root canals (63%) and the leading cause of life-threatening sub-acuteendocarditis (35%). The use of 2.5% NaOCl as a root canal irrigation material has disadvantages, it is a bad smell and taste, causing allergies, irritating and toxic, so other alternatives are needed.The greenokra fruit extract has secondary antibacterialmetabolites such as flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins,and terpenoids. Purpose:This study aims to determine the inhibition of green okra fruit extract against S. viridans.Methods: This research is an experimental laboratory in vitro with a post-test-only control group design. Antibacterial test using the disk diffusion methodwhich consisted of 5 research groups(green okra extract with a concentration of 1,56%, 3,125%, 6,25%, 12,5%, and 2,5% NaOCl) and 4 repetitions. The resultwasanalyzed using non-parametric statistical tests.Results:The average diameter of inhibition zone of each concentrationof green okra fruit extractis 1,56% (0 mm ), 3,125% (0 mm), 6,25% (14,58 mm), 12,5% (18,19 mm),and2,5% NaOCl(23,55 mm). The Kruskal-Wallistest showed a significance value of less than 0.05which meantthat there was a differencein inhibitionin all groups. The Mann-Whitneytest showed that there were significant differences between the study groups (α<0,05), except for the green okra extract with a concentration of 1,56% with 3,125%.Conclusion:Green okra fruit extract (Abelmoschus esculentus)has inhibitionagainst S. viridans at concentrations of 6,25% (14,58 mm) and 12,5% (18,19 mm) including the strong category.
