Abstract

Caries is a multifactorial disease that affects most of the world's population and is a detrimental factor for oral health. The surface of the teeth is covered with biofilm which is a layer of mucus composed of millions of bacterial cells, salivary polymers and food debris. The biofilm that forms, also known as plaque, provides an excellent attachment site for colonization and growth of many bacterial species and promotes demineralization of tooth enamel. Demineralization on teeth can reduce the hardness of the enamel surface which causes enamel to be susceptible to caries and brittle. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving 15% hydroxyapatite paste from goldfish scales (Cyprinus carpio) with Casein Phosphopeptide – Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) as a remineralizing agent on the enamel surface hardness. This laboratory experimental study using 24 samples of post-extraction maxillary first premolars. There were 4 groups of samples, group I samples that were not given the test material were only soaked in artificial saliva, group II samples were only demineralized with HCl solution for 120 seconds, both test groups were then demineralized with HCl solution for 120 seconds before being given the test material. Group III samples were applied with the test material Casein Phosphopeptide – Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) for 2 minutes, group IV samples were applied with 15% goldfish scale hydroxyapatite paste (Cyprinus carpio) for 2 minutes. Both test groups were given treatment for 14 consecutive days. All sample groups were tested for surface hardness using the Microvickers Hardness Tester. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis statistical analysis test obtained a significance value of p <0.05, which means that there was an effect after giving the remineralization material to the enamel surface hardness which was significant between groups. The results of the Mann-Whitney analysis test showed that there was a significant difference in the effect of p <0.05 between each group studied. Based on the results of the study, there was an effect after administration of 15% hydroxyapatite paste of goldfish scales (Cyprinus carpio) with Casein Phosphopeptide – Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) as a remineralizing agent on enamel surface hardness.
