UJI DAYA HAMBAT EKSTRAK BAWANG PUTIH (Allium sativum Linn) KONSENTRASI 25%, 50% DAN 100% TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BAKTERI MIX SALURAN AKAR GIGI

ABSTRACT
Teeth with pulp necrosis require root canal treatment to clean the pulp chamber from infected pulp tissue. The use of traditional medicine from natural ingredients has long been used as a therapy or medicinal ingredient by the world's population. The use of herbal medicines derived from plants and spices when compared to drugs formulated from chemicals has minimal side effects, has a relatively more affordable price and is easy to find. The purpose of this study was to determine the inhibitory power produced by garlic extract against root canal mix bacteria. This research is a laboratory research with Post Test Control Group Design. The sample used was a bacterial root canal mix which was divided into 5 groups, namely the group treated with garlic extract with concentrations of 25%, 50% and 100%, the group treated with ChKM as a positive control, and the group treated with aquadest as negative control, with 5 repetitions each. Garlic extraction was carried out by maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent. Inhibition zone testing was carried out using the Kirby Bauer method. The inhibition power produced at 25% extract concentration was 12.68 mm, 50% concentration was 16.19 mm and at 100% concentration was 19.87 mm. The higher the concentration of the extract, the greater the amount of antibacterial compounds released. Where the identified antibacterial compounds are saponin, phenol, steroid, terpenoid, alkaloid, flavonoid, tannin. It can be concluded that the inhibitory power of garlic extract (Allium sativum Linn) at concentrations of 25%, 50% and 100% can inhibit the growth of root canal mix bacteria, with the most effective concentration in the treatment group containing garlic extract with a concentration of 100%.
