Abstract

Aim: Herbal treatment has recently been validated as a safe and effective alternative to antimicrobial drugs due to its safety and efficiency. Eurycoma longifolia root jack root extract (E.L.) has been documented for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Acrylic resin is used to produce dentures. However, due to its porous nature, it is a good site for Candida albicans to adhere and cause infection. The aim of the presented study was to evaluate the effects of adding E.L. root extract to acrylic resin on the properties of heat polymerized denture material. Materials and Methods: Sixty circular-shaped (30 mm × 2 mm) specimens were prepared from heat-polymerized acrylic resin in total. Then they were divided into one control group and two experimental groups, which were prepared by adding 0.5 gm of E.L. root extract to 10 mL monomer. Polymer powder was added to the monomer. The conventional water bath method was used for mixing, packing, and processing. Specimens were polished and finished after processing, and then maintained for 48 h in distilled water. Shore D, profilometer tester and color recognition sensor were employed to measure the surface hardness, roughness and color changes. Statistical analysis was conducted via independent sample t test. Results: The results indicated no significant change in roughness values concerning the study groups. Hardness results showed a higher mean value for the experimental group in compared to the control. However, the independent sample t test showed no significant change between the study groups. In color change test, no statistically significant change between experimental and control regarding red and green colors mean values whereas blue color mean values showed significant alteration and color change tests. Conclusion: The study concluded that E. longifolia root extract showed better surface hardness and no effect on color alteration and surface roughness after incorporation to heat cure acrylic resin, which means it can be used as a natural safe antimicrobial agent incorporated into the resin.

加入 Eurycoma longifolia Jack 根提取物对热固化丙烯酸树脂性能的影响

目的：草药治疗因其安全性和高效性，最近已被证实是抗菌药物的一种安全有效的替代疗法。Eurycoma longifolia root jack root extract (E.L.) 具有抗菌和抗真菌功效。丙烯酸树脂用于制作假牙。然而，由于其多孔性，它是白色念珠菌附着和引起感染的良好场所。本研究旨在评估在丙烯酸树脂中添加 E.L. 根提取物对热聚合义齿材料性能的影响。材料与方法用热聚合丙烯酸树脂制备 60 个圆形（30 毫米 × 2 毫米）试样。在 10 mL 单体中加入 0.5 gm 的枇杷根提取物。在单体中加入聚合物粉末。采用传统的水浴法进行混合、包装和加工。加工完成后对试样进行抛光处理，然后在蒸馏水中保持 48 小时。采用肖氏硬度、轮廓仪和颜色识别传感器测量表面硬度、粗糙度和颜色变化。统计分析通过独立样本 t 检验进行。结果显示结果表明，各研究组的粗糙度值无明显变化。硬度结果显示，实验组的平均值高于对照组。然而，独立样本 t 检验显示研究组之间没有明显变化。在颜色变化测试中，实验组和对照组的红色和绿色平均值在统计上没有明显变化，而蓝色平均值在颜色变化测试中出现了明显变化。结论研究得出结论：E. longifolia 根提取物在加入热固化丙烯酸树脂后显示出更好的表面硬度，对颜色变化和表面粗糙度没有影响，这意味着它可以作为一种天然安全的抗菌剂加入树脂中。

期刊介绍： It is a journal aimed for research, scientific facts and details covering all specialties of dentistry with a good determination for exploring and sharing the knowledge in the medical and dental fraternity. The scope is therefore huge covering almost all streams of dentistry - starting from original studies, systematic reviews, narrative reviews, very unique case reports. Our journal appreciates research articles pertaining with advancement of dentistry. Journal scope is not limited to these subjects and is more wider covering all specialities of dentistry follows: Preventive and Community Dentistry (Dental Public Health) Endodontics Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (also called Oral Surgery) Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics Periodontology (also called Periodontics) Pediatric Dentistry (also called Pedodontics) Prosthodontics (also called Prosthetic Dentistry) Oral Medicine Special Needs Dentistry (also called Special Care Dentistry) Oral Biology Forensic Odontology Geriatric Dentistry or Geriodontics Implantology Laser and Aesthetic Dentistry.
