Efek perendaman rebusan Daun Sirih Merah (Piper crocatum) terhadap kekerasan permukaan resin komposit

The effect of immersion of decoction water of Red Betel Leaf (Piper crocatum) on the surface hardness of composite resin. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of immersion of decoction water of red betel leaf on the surface hardness of composite resin compared to alcoholic mouth rinse. It was a pure experimental study with post-test only with control group design. The total samples were 27 samples divided into 2 treatment groups and 1 control group, each of which consisted of 9 samples. The treatment groups were immersed in the decoction water of red betel leaf and alcoholic mouth rinse. The control group was immersed in aquadest. After the immersion, the samples were measured using Vickers Micro hardness Tester. Analysis with one way anova and post hoc Bonferroni showed a significant difference (p<0.05) on the surface hardness of composite resin after being immersed in decoction water of red betel leaf(79,81±3,76) kg/mm2 and alcoholic mouth rinse (67,11±2,51) kg/mm2. Based on this research, it can be concluded that there was an effect of immersion of decoction water of red betel leaf if compared with alcoholic mouth rinse. The value of surface hardness of composite resin immersed in alcoholic mouth rinse was lower than the decoction water of red betel leaf. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek perendaman dalam rebusan daun sirih merah terhadap kekerasan permukaan resin komposit bila dibandingkan dengan obat kumur beralkohol. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental murni dengan post-test only with control group design. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 27 yang dibagi dalam 2 kelompok perlakuan dan 1 kelompok kontrol dengan masing-masing kelompok sebanyak 9 sampel. Kelompok perlakuan direndam dengan air rebusan daun sirih merah dan obat kumur beralkohol. Kelompok kontrol direndam dengan akuades steril. Setelah itu dilakukan pengukuran menggunakan Vickers Microhardness Tester. Hasil uji One Way Anova dan Post Hoc Bonferroni menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan bermakna nilai kekerasan permukaan resin komposit yang direndam dengan air rebusan daun sirih merah (79,81±3,76) kg/mm2 dan obat kumur beralkohol (67,11±2,51) kg/mm2 dengan nilai kemaknaan (p<0,05). Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa terdapat efek lebih rendah pada perendaman dalam rebusan daun sirih merah terhadap kekerasan permukaan resin komposit bila dibandingkan dengan obat kumur beralkohol. Nilai kekerasan permukaan resin komposit yang direndam obat kumur beralkohol lebih rendah dibandingkan air rebusan daun sirih merah.
