Abstract

Abstract Dental plaque is formed from biofilm that coats the surface of the teeth and is an indicator of dental and oral hygiene. One way to control plaque is by brushing your teeth. Herbal toothpaste is expected to inhibit plaque growth because it is related to the ability of herbal ingredients to inhibit microbial growth. This study aims to determine the comparison of the effectiveness of herbal and non-herbal toothpaste on reducing the plaque index in children aged 15-18 years (WHO). This type of research is experimental with pretest-postest group design on 30 respondents obtained by total sampling method and divided into 2 groups. A total of 15 respondents in the first group used herbal toothpaste and 15 respondents in the second group used non-herbal toothpaste. The plaque index is measured based on the Loe and Silness plaque index. Paired t test was used to determine the difference in dental plaque index before and after treatment. The results showed that there were significant differences in the dental plaque index on the use of herbal and non-herbal toothpaste for children aged 15-18 years. Keywords: plaque index, herbal toothpaste, non herbal toothpaste

草药与非草药牙科面食对儿童牙菌斑指数的影响比较

牙菌斑是由覆盖在牙齿表面的生物膜形成的，是牙齿和口腔卫生的一个指标。控制牙菌斑的一种方法是刷牙。草药牙膏有望抑制牙菌斑的生长，因为这与草药成分抑制微生物生长的能力有关。本研究旨在确定草药和非草药牙膏对降低15-18岁儿童(WHO)斑块指数的有效性的比较。本研究采用全抽样法对30名被调查者进行前测后测组设计，分为两组。第一组共有15名受访者使用草药牙膏，第二组有15名受访者使用非草药牙膏。斑块指数是根据Loe和Silness斑块指数来测量的。采用配对t检验测定治疗前后牙菌斑指数的差异。结果表明:15-18岁儿童使用中草药牙膏和非中草药牙膏的牙菌斑指数存在显著差异。关键词:菌斑指数，中草药牙膏，非中草药牙膏
