The Effectiveness Of Corn Silk Zea Mays Saccharata Extraction As The Obstruction Of Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteria On Acrylic Plate
Keywords:
Staphylococcus aureus, RPD, Corn silk Zea mays SaccharataAbstract
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the bacteria that contribute to plaque formation and is often found on the surface of acrylic plates on removable partial dentures (RPDs). RPD cleaning can be done mechanically, chemically, or in combination. Sweet corn silk (Corn silk Zea mays Saccharata) can be used as an alternative natural ingredient for RPD cleaners because Corn silk Zea mays Saccharata contains flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids that can act as antibacterials. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of Corn silk Zea mays Saccharata extract in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria on acrylic plates. Materials and Methods: This study used sweet corn silk with laboratory experimental research type using a post-test only control group design approach. The maceration method using 70% ethanol solvent was carried out to make Corn silk Zea mays Saccharata extract and then diluted to obtain concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 75%. This study used 0.5% Sodium Hypochlorite as the positive control and aquades as the negative control. Results: The lowest average growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria on acrylic plates was when Corn silk Zea mays Saccharata was given at 75%, which was 366.40 CFU/ml, but not as low as Sodium Hypochlorite, which was 0 CFU/ml. While the highest average growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria on acrylic plates was the negative control at 1196.80 CFU/ml. Conclusion: Corn silk Zea mays Saccharata extract using ethanol solvent can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria on acrylic plates with 75% as the concentration that has the highest level of effectiveness.
