Introduction: One of the procedures used in dentistry to address periodontal disease is periodontal surgery,
which can lead to open wounds. Periodontal dressing is a dental material that can help with this issue by accelerate
the healing of wounds. The aim of the in vitro study was to investigate the potential inhibition of periodontal dressing
with the basic formulated from raw propolis Trigona itama bees against Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria at various
rates. Methods: This in vitro study was true experimental study with Porphyromonas gingivalis cultured in agar
plate as sample which sample size was calculated using Federer formula. Periodontal dressing with raw propolis
formulations were divided into eight groups of 85, 80, 75, 70, 65, 62.5, 60 and 57%, which were then compared
with the 100% raw propolis, RESO-PAC™ group, COE-PAK™, and Baer formulations. Antibacterial testing was tested
using zone of inhibition test and was calculated by adding up the zone of inhibition of Porphyromonas gingivalis. The
data results were then analyzed using one-way ANOVA (p<0.05). Results: The Shapiro-Wilk test results for the
normality test show a significance level of 0.05. It means that the data is commonly distributed. the homogeneity
test using Levene's statistics has a significance level of p>0.05. This means the data homogenous distributed. The
results of statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA showed a p-value=0.001 (p<0.05), which means that there was
a significant difference between the treatment groups. The results showed that pure raw propolis had the highest
antibacterial with an inhibition zone diameter of 3.4667 mm after RESO-PAC™, followed by periodontal dressing with
raw propolis 85% with an inhibition zone of 2.9167 mm, and periodontal dressing with raw propolis 80% with an
inhibition zone of 2.5167 mm. However, at concentrations of 75 to 57%, no bacterial inhibition zone was found.
Conclusion: Periodontal dressing with raw propolis formulation 85% had the highest antibacterial activity of
Porphyromonas gingivalis after 100% raw propolis and RESO-PAC™ |
