Antibacterial Effect of Virgin Coconut Oil on (Actinomyces Sp.) That Causes Dental Black Stain in Children

Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of virgin coconut oil (VCO) as a natural antibacterial agent to reduce the viability of the chromogenic bacteria Actinomyces sp., which causes dental black stains.Methods: Actinomyces sp. was isolated from the saliva of a child diagnosed with black stain. Each streak of bacteria was cultured on a selective medium Actinomyces agar and confirmed visually and through a gram staining procedure. Each bacterial culture was exposed to VCO in concentrations of 12… Show more

“…VCO has many medical effects due to the high percentage of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) [10,17]. Several fatty acids have the highest antifungal activities, such as lauric acid, capric acid, monoglyceride monolaurin and monocaprin [8,10,17,20]. The mechanism action of lauric acid against Candida is initiated by entering the lipid bilayer of fungal membranes and physically disturbing the fungal cell membrane, resulting in cell membrane disorganization due to increased fluidity of the membrane.…”

“…Angka iod menjelaskan ketidakjenuhan asam lemak penyusun minyak.. Banyaknya iod yang diikat menunjukkan banyaknya ikatan rangkap dalam minyak (Natalia et al 2019;Dayrit et al 2007) Hasil analisi GC-MS menunjukkan komponen penyusun dari VCO adalah asam lemak rantai menengah seperti: asam laurat, miristat, palmitate, kaproat, dan asam oleat. VCO mengandung komponen asam lemak seperti: kaprilat, kaproat, kaprat, laurat, miristat, palmitate, stearate, oleat, dan asam linoleate (Lavine et al 2018). Abast et al (2015) telah meneliti bahwa kandungan utama VCO adalah asam laurat (47,79%) dan asam miristat (17,17%).…”

“…VCO mengandung asam laurat (53,70%-54,06%) dan asam stearate (2,65%-12,10%) (Suryani et al, 2020) (Sulastri et al, 2016;Maromon et al, 2020). Asam laurat dapat membunuh bakteri gram positip dengan merusak membran sel sehingga membran menjadi lisis (Lavine et al, 2018). Noriko et al (2014)…”
