Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of periodontal tissue that can be caused by Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa). Adjuvant therapy carried out after treatment of periodontal disease can increase the efficacy of therapy, one of which is subgingival irrigation. Eco-enzyme from squeezed orange waste (Citrus sinensis L.) was produced by fermentation process that result antibacterial compound. The objective of this research was to determine the antibacterial effect of 10?o-enzyme irrigation solution from squeezed orange waste (Citrus sinensis L.) on the growth of Aa.
This study used the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method to test the antibacterial effect of the solution against Aa bacteria. There were three test solutions that we used, 10?o-enzyme irrigation solution from squeezed orange waste (Citrus sinensis L.), positive control (0,2% chlorhexidine), and negative control (aquadest). Each group was repeated for nine times and then the diameter of the inhibition zone was measured using a sliding caliper. The mean of measurement data was analyzed using One-Way Anova and continued with the post hoc method (LSD).
The research result showed that there was a significant difference between the test solutions (p<0>Citrus sinensis L.) has an effect on inhibiting the growth of Aa.
