PERBEDAAN PENGARUH SUSU KACANG KEDELAI DAN SUSU KACANG ALMOND TERHADAP KEKERASAN EMAIL GIGI
Background: Enamel is the hardest tissue of the human body that covers the anatomical dental crown. Enamel composed by minerals that can be released from the hydroxyapatite when the pH of the oral cavity is below 5,5. The decrease of pH may lead to a demineralization process. Alternative materials that can be used to reduce demineralization process and increase the remineralization process are soymilk and almond milk. Objective: This study aimed to determine the difference of soy milk and almond milk effect on enamel hardness. Methods: Eighteen crowns of upper and lower premolars were divided into 3 groups: Group A (control), Group B (soymilk), Group C (almond milk). Before treatment, samples were soaked in 1% citric acid. Enamel hardness was tested with Vickers Hardness Tester on the initial hardness, after demineralization, and after remineralization. The statistical tests used in this study were Repeated Measures Anova and One Way Anova. Results: The results of the Repeated Measures Anova test showed that both soy milk and almond milk significantly increased the enamel hardness after demineralization. The One Way Anova test showed that the variance of the after demineralization and remineralization between groups has no significant difference. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between soy milk and almond milk on increasing the enamel hardness after demineralization.
