Daftar Isi:
- Fixed orthodontic patient susceptible to gingival inflammation. Plaque retention associated with the use of fixed orthodontic appliance causing the invasion of bacteria and cause inflammation that weakens the defense of gingival tissue during orthodontic treatment that lasts few years. Mangosteen pericarp extract (Garcinia mangostana L.) contain active substances, xanthone, which has antiinflammatory activity that may reduce the destructive inflammatory reaction. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of consuming mangosteen pericarp extract supplements (Garcinia mangostana L.) to reduce gingival inflammation index in fixed orthodontic patient. Twenty subjects of fixed orthodontic patient were then divided into two groups: 10 subjects in the treatment group and 10 subjects in the control group. Subjects in both groups were given an initial therapy (scaling), then the treatment group consumed mangosteen pericarp extract supplements with a frequency of 3 times of 2 capsules for 7 days. Inflammations in both groups were measured on day-0 and day-8 by gingival inflammation index by Loe and Silness (1963). The mean reduction in gingival inflammation index was analyzed using the Independent T-Test. The reduction in gingival inflammation index was greater in treatment group (0,1630 ± 0,10686) than in control group (0,1414 ± 0,10249). The results of the analysis by the Independent T-Test shows the effect of consuming mangosteen pericarp extract supplements (Garcinia mangostana L.) towards a decrease in gingival inflammation index on the fixed orthodontic patient is not significant. The conclusion of this study is the consumption of mangosteen pericarp extract supplement (Garcinia mangostana L.) reduces gingival inflammation index in fixed orthodontic patient. Statistically, the amount reduction in gingival inflammation index was not significant.
