DAYAHAMBATZINK SULFATTERHADAP BAKTERI Porphyromonasgingivalis PADAKASUSABSES DENTOALVEOLAR

TL;DRAbstract

Effect of zinc sulfate against Porphyromonas gingivalis was examined in this study. Concentration of zinc sulfate at 2.2%, 1.1%, 0.55%, 0.27%, 0.13%, 0.06%, 0.03%, 0.015%, 0.007% and 0.003% was tested on P. gingivalis to check the bacterial growth. The inhibitory activity of zinc sulfate was examined on suspension of P. gingivalis bacteria by dilution, for inspecting the turbidity, and using spectrophotometer assited absorption observations . The inhibitory activity was further confirmed by culture in blood agar and bacterial count. Inspection with direct visual on turbidity increased at zinc sulfate 0.06% and supported by the result of spectrophotometer. Minimal inhibitory concentration against P. gingivalis at 0.13% (p<0.05) concentration of zinc sulfate, proved by no bacterial growth on blood agar and bacterial count. In this study, zinc sulfate had capability to inhibit P. gingival growth at 0.13% concentration.
