Abstract
Backgraound. High prevalence of dental caries in children was an important
issue. The main factor that cause dental caries were host, environtment, substrate,
microorganisms (mainly is Streptococcus mutans), and time. Caries is started
with the growth of dental plaque in tooth surface. Brushing teeth is the most
effective and easy way to control dental plaque and reduce Streptococcus mutans
colony growth. Flavonoid addition in propolis toothpaste could decrease
Streptococcus mutans and helps inhibit caries activity. Objective.The aim of this
study was to determine the most effective way to reduce caries activity by
computing and comparing the number of Streptococcus mutans colony in children
aged turning 10 years old after brushing teeth without toothpaste, brushing teeth
with aloe toothpaste, and brushing teeth with propolis toothpaste. Method. The
type of this research was experimental research. The samples of this research
were 10 children turning 10 years old who have been fitted with the criteria of
sample using random sampling techniques. There were 3 group in this study.
Each group had 7 days and must applied on the same child. The first group had to
brushing teeth without toothpaste. The second group had to brushing teeth with
aloevera toothpaste. The third group had to brushing teeth with propolis
toothpaste. There was interlude about 3 days between the second and the third
group. Result. The result of this research shows that saponin, Antraquinon is
contained in aloe toothpaste and flavonoids in propolis toothpaste caused
significantly decrease some number of Streptococcus mutans colony. Conclusion.
Brushing teeth with propolis toothpaste could reduce number of Streptococcus
mutans colony more effectively than brushing teeth with aloe toothpaste.
