PENGARUH HIDROKSIAPATIT TULANG IKAN PATIN (Pangasius hypophthalmus) TERHADAP KEKERASAN EMAIL GIGI SULUNG
THE EFFECT OF HYDROXYPATITE FROM CATIN FISH BONE (PANGASIUS HYPOPHTHALMUS) ON EMAIL HARDNESS OF PRIMARY TOOTH Ayu Rahma Sari Department of Dentistry Faculty of Medical of Sriwijaya University Abstract Background: Demineralization is a process of hydroxyapatite crystals consisting of calcium and phosphate ions on the surface of tooth enamel. Demineralization can be done by restoring mineral components through remineralization, one of the remineralizing materials is hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite can be synthesized from natural materials such as fish bones. Objective: to determine the effect of catfish bone hydroxyapatite on the hardness of primary tooth enamel. Methods: Twenty-eight incisors were implanted in resin and divided into 2 groups. The tooth enamel hardness was measured (pretest) using a Microvicker's Hardness Tester and then continued with the remineralization process using hydroxyapatite paste synthesized from catfish bones using the precipitation method. The paste was applied to group A (15% HA paste) then soaked in artificial saliva and group B (control) was only soaked in artificial saliva. The surface hardness of the tooth enamel was then measured again (posttest) after 7 days of treatment. Results: The enamel surface hardness in group A (15% HA paste) (71.8±26.6) and group B (control) (-35.1±18.4). The results of statistical tests showed that there were significant differences between the treatment group and the control group. Conclusion: application of hydrocaispatite paste from catfish bone (Pangasius hypophthalmus) can increase the hardness of primary tooth enamel, while the group that was only soaked in artificial saliva did not experience an increase in the hardness of primary tooth enamel. Keywords: primary tooth enamel, hydroxyapatite, enamel hardness, pangasius hypophthalmus, precipitation.
