Abstract

Differences in Teeth Discoloration After Application of Barangan Banana (Musa acuminata L.) Peel Extract Paste 5% and 10% xi + 68 pages Many people come to the dentist because they are dissatisfied with the color of their teeth and want treatment to whiten their teeth. Dental bleaching is a treatment to lighten the color of the teeth which generally uses hydrogen peroxide which can cause side effects on the teeth. Barangan banana peel can be used as an alternative natural ingredient to whiten teeth because it contains saponin compounds. The purpose of this study was to determine differences in tooth discoloration after the application of 5% and 10% Barangan banana peel extract paste. The research samples were one or two permanent premolars in the upper and lower jaw. The number of samples was 32 samples which were divided into 2 groups (n = 16), namely groups with a concentration of 5% and 10%. The extract was prepared using the maceration technique by dissolving the dried Barangan banana peel into powder in 70% ethanol and then rotating the evaporator until it became a thick extract and then made into a paste with a concentration of 5% and 10%. The paste was applied to the lingual surface of the teeth, left for 15 minutes and rinsed. Application is carried out every day for 12 days. The values of L, a, b teeth before and after treatment were measured using a colorimeter. Tooth discoloration (ΔE) is calculated by the formula ΔE= √(L1-L0)2 + (a1-a0)2 + (b1-b0 )2. The mean and SD values of ΔE 5% and 10% are 2.69 ± 0.5 and 4.58 ± 0.29. Independent t-test showed that there was a significant difference in ΔE values (p<0.05) between the 5% and 10% concentration groups. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in color change of Barangan banana peel extract paste between the groups at a concentration of 5% and 10%.
