Acrylic resin is commonly used as a denture base material because of its good aesthetics, but it is not antimicrobial, so it is easily attached to denture plaque. Pineapple peel contains substances that are antimicrobial. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of pineapple peel extract (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) concentration in denture cleanser on mucin and Candida albicans (C. albicans) adhesion to acrylic resin.
The main materials of the study were hot polymerized acrylic resin and pineapple peel. The acrylic resin samples were in the form of discs (diameter 12 mm and 2 mm thick) as many as 72 pieces (n=6). Denture cleanser with active substance of pineapple peel extract was made with concentrations of 0%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, and 35%. Acrylic resin samples were contacted with mucin for 1 hour, soaked in denture cleanser for 8 hours. Mucin on the acrylic resin was removed and the concentration was calculated using the optical density method (mg/ml). The attached C. albicans colonies were removed from the acrylic resin and counted on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) media with a colony counter (CFU/ml). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tamhane0.05.
The highest mean mucin concentration in concentration of 0% was 0.757 mg/ml, while the lowest mean was in concentration of 35% at 0.030 mg/ml. The highest mean C. albicans colony in concentration of 0% was 214.50 x 104 CFU/ml, while the lowest mean was in concentration of 35% at 1.33 x 104 CFU/ml. The results of the one-way ANOVA test showed that the concentration of pineapple peel extract in denture cleanser had a significant effect on the attachment of mucin and C. albicans to acrylic resin (p<0>0.05). The conclusion of this study is that the concentration of pineapple peel extract (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) in denture cleanser reduces the attachment of mucin and C. albicans to acrylic resin.
