Periodontal disease is the inflammation of the supporting tissue in the oral cavity caused by pathogenic microorganisms, one of which is Prevotella intermedia. Periodontal treatment is carried out by inhibiting the growth of bacteria that cause periodontal disease. Propolis contains terpenoids, phenols, and flavonoids which have antibacterial properties. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of propolis active gel (propagel) in inhibiting the growth of Prevotella intermedia ATCC 25611 bacteria.
The study object consisted of five groups, the propagel treatment group with concentrations of 2,5%, 5%, and 10%, Aloclair gel as positive control group, and 2% Na-CMC gel as negative control group. The bacterial suspension was inoculated in each test tube containing the test material and then incubated at 37°C for 24 hours under anaerobic conditions. After incubation, the test tube was measured using a spectrophotometer and the Optical Density (OD) Value was obtained which was included in the formula to determine the percentage of Prevotella intermedia inhibition.
The result of the One Way ANOVA test showed a significant difference (p<0>Prevotella intermedia.
