MINIMUM BACTERICIDAL CONCENTRATION OF EAST JAVA PROPOLIS EXTRACT TO BIOFILM OF Enterococcus faecalis (original) (raw)

2013

Abstract

Background. Endodontic root canal treatment is a treatment that can be performed in inflammation pulp or dental pulp necrosis. Enterococcus faecalis (E faecalis) bacteria identified 89,6% in root canal treatment failure. Sterilization and irrigation of the root canal are the bacteria elimination stages of root canal treatment, but materials that used do not killing E faecalis specially the bacterial biofilm, so E faecalis can survive to cause periapical disease after root canal treatment. Propolis contain apigenin and tt-farnesol that have mechanisms for inhibiting growth and development of bacterial biofilm. Purpose. To measured Minimum Bactericidal Concentration of East Java Propolis Extract to Biofilm of E faecalis. Methods. This research was laboratory experimental study. Propolis extract used is East Java propolis extracted by maceration method, and dilution into several concentrations using aquadest. Biofilm formation was observed using the microtitter plate method then contin...
