Abstract

To analyze the effectiveness of roselle effervescent tablets inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans colonies on acrylic resin plate. A total of 90 plates of acrylic resin with S. mutans and C. albicans suspensions were divided into three groups of immersion: The first group was soaked in a solution of roselle effervescent tablets 10%, the second group soaked in solution of sodium perborate effervescent tablets, and the third group soaked in a solution of pure effervescent tablets each with an interval of 5, 10, and 15 minutes. The number of colonies of S. mutans and C. albicans was calculated before and after immersion to determine the effectiveness of effervescent tablets. Data were analyzed using t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The roselle effervescent tablets 10% showed a significant difference before and after immersion, thus inhibiting the growth of S. mutans and C. albicans colonies (p < 0.05). Roselle effervescent tablets 10% in immersion time 5, 10, and 15 minutes did not show any significant difference. The effectiveness of roselle effervescent tablets 10% did not show any significant differences with sodium perborate effervescent tablets. Roselle effervescent tablets are ef...Continue Reading
