“…A previous study comparing betel leaf toothpaste with another non-herbal paste demonstrated the average plaque accumulation in patients having fixed orthodontic appliances and who brushed their teeth using betel leaf toothpaste was significantly less when compared to patients having the same orthodontic treatment. However, they brushed their teeth with regular toothpaste [ 27 ]. Betel leaf contains hydroxychavicol, which has an antifungal effect against many types of fungi in the oral cavity [ 28 ].…”

“…In a randomized triple-blinded clinical cross-over study, the investigators used a self-prepared herbal paste and a conventional paste to examine the effectiveness of both the pastes in reducing gingival bleeding index scores, they found that the self-prepared herbal pastes provided lesser efficacy in reducing gingival bleeding scores when compared to conventional pastes [ 19 ]. To compare the betel leaf toothpaste with the non-betel leaf contains toothpaste on the plaque accumulation, a previous study demonstrated that the average plaque accumulation in the first group (patients who have fixed orthodontic appliances and brushed their teeth by using betel leaf toothpaste) was 25.54 and 41.09 in the second group (patients who had the same orthodontic treatment but brushed their teeth with regular toothpaste) [ 27 ]. A study proposing a domiciliary protocol for oral hygiene was conducted with a six-month follow up using clinical and microbiological parameters using para-probiotics to assess plaque scores.…”

The use of herbal medicine in dentistry has grown exponentially over time. Currently, herbal medicine is considered an effective oral hygiene aid. The objective of the current study is to assess the anti-plaque efficiency and reduction of gingival bleeding of betel leaf and miswak (Salvadora persica) toothpaste. This randomized clinical cross-over pilot study enrolled 60 individuals with mild gingivitis. They were segregated into two groups by drawing lots. The study lasted 20 days and included a two-week washout period between miswak and betel leaf toothpaste. The gingival and plaque index were measured at specific time intervals during the research period. The results revealed that betel leaf and miswak herbal toothpaste significantly decreased plaque index. Nevertheless, betel leaf toothpaste caused a more significant reduction in gingival bleeding scores (p < 0.001) when compared to miswak (p = 0.007). No significant decrease in gingival and plaque index was seen when subjects were asked to return to their conventional chemical toothpaste. The current study concluded that betel leaf toothpaste displayed a more substantial decrease in gingival bleeding when compared to miswak toothpaste. Additionally, more studies should be done on the therapeutic benefits of betel leaf toothpaste.

“…Piper betle leaf oil mengandung komponen fenol seperti carvacol, cineol, eugenol, cariofilen, dan chavicol yang mampu menghambat pembentukan koloni Streptococcus mutans yang terdapat dalam plak dengan cara mengubah protein pada permukaan sel bakteri, sehingga perlekatan bakteri pada plak yang terdapat di permukaan gigi juga menjadi berkurang. 16,17 Hasil penelitian ini didukung oleh penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Cahyanti dan Oroh, yang menyatakan bahwa penggunaan pasta gigi herbal daun sirih lebih menurunkan akumulasi plak gigi dibandingkan dengan pasta gigi non herbal fluoride. Hal tersebut disebabkan karena adanya kelebihan kandungan yang dimiliki oleh pasta gigi herbal daun sirih yang digunakan dalam penelitian yakni ekstrak daun sirih yang dapat menggantikan fungsi fluoride sebagai antibakteri.…”

Background: Dental plaque is a microbial biofilm, it contains a various microorganism that produce many enzymes, toxins, and lipopolysaccharides. The effective way to remove dental plaque is tooth brushing with dentifrice. Nowadays, there were various herbal and non-herbal dentifrices with the advantages and disadvantages of each dentifrice.Objective: To compare the effectiveness of herbal and non-herbal dentifrices in reducing dental plaque index.Methods: This study used true experimental with pre-test and post-test control group design. Thirty four participants were randomly allocated to two groups, the herbal group and the non-herbal group. The subjects were asked to brush twice daily with Ciptadent dentifrices, for 7 days, using Bass technique. Dental plaque index were recorded according to O’Leary Index method. Result: The mean score of dental plaque index at the post-test was found 12.05 ± 6.76 for the herbal group and 26.75 ± 13.20 for the non-herbal group. The independent sample t-test showed a difference in the mean score of dental plaque index in both group was found 14.70 (CI 95%: 7.37-22.03; p=0.007).Conclusion: The herbal dentifrice was more effective in reducing dental plaque index. Latar belakang: Plak merupakan suatu microbial biofilm, terdiri dari berbagai jenis mikroorganisme yang memproduksi sejumlah enzim, toksin, dan lipopolisakarida. Cara efektif untuk menghilangkan plak adalah dengan menggosok gigi menggunakan pasta gigi. Saat ini terdapat berbagai jenis pasta gigi herbal dan non herbal dengan kelebihan dan kekurangannya masing-masing.Tujuan: Mengetahui perbandingan efektivitas penggunaan pasta gigi herbal dan non herbal terhadap penurunan indeks plak.Metode: Penelitian ini bersifat true experimental dengan rancangan pre-test and post-test control group design. Tiga puluh empat sampel dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok pasta gigi herbal dan non herbal. Sampel diminta untuk menyikat gigi menggunakan pasta gigi Ciptadent yang diberikan sebanyak 2 kali selama 7 hari, menggunakan teknik Bass. Pengukuran indeks plak pre-test dan post-test menggunakan metode O’Leary Index.Hasil: Rerata indeks plak post-test pada kelompok herbal adalah 12,05 ± 6,76 dan pada kelompok non herbal adalah 26,75 ± 13,20. Analisis independent sample t-test menunjukkan beda rerata indeks plak pada kedua kelompok adalah 14,70 (IK 95%: 7,37-22,03; p=0,007).Simpulan: Penggunaan pasta gigi herbal lebih efektif dalam menurunkan indeks plak.

Objective: Marshmallow is a soft candy loved by all levels of society, especially children. Sucrose contained in marshmallow increases the growth of Streptococcus mutans and plaque. Betel chew as Indonesian traditional plants add in marshmallow was believed to decrease S. mutans and plaque. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chewing marshmallow containing betel chew in reducing S. mutans and plaque index in children. Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test control group design. It was conducted in the Laboratory of Agricultural Chemistry, Laboratory of Agricultural Technology Department, and Islamic School of Al-Amalul Khair. Thirty students were divided into two groups. Group A was chewing marshmallow without betel chew and Group B was chewing marshmallow containing betel chew. Results: The results showed that chewing marshmallow without betel chew increased the growth of S. mutans and plaque index significantly. Chewing marshmallow without betel chew inhibited the growth of S. mutans and dental plaque formation. Conclusion: Chewing marshmallow containing betel chew reduces S. mutans and plaque index on children.
