Abstract

Dental plaque is the cause of gingivitis, namely inflammation of the gums and tooth decay or dental caries. Therefore it is necessary to detect dental plaque, by using a solution material that can color the dental plaque. The solution is beets and red dragon fruit as natural and safe ingredients. The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of beetroot solution and red dragon fruit solution to identify dental plaque by the Quasy Experimental research design. The sample of this research is 142 people, randomly selected, then divided into two groups. Each of 71 people used beetroot solution and 71 people used red dragon fruit solution. Then the dental plaque index was observed. The results showed that the Mann Whittney test showed that the plaque score of the beetroot solution was higher than the plaque score detected by the dragon fruit solution. The plaque index score detected by applying beetroot solution was higher than the plaque index score detected by red dragon fruit. but there are weaknesses in the beetroot solution, which tastes uncomfortable. Beetroot solution is more effective as a plaque detection solution compared to red dragon fruit solution. Meanwhile, the taste for bits is less comfortable. It is recommended to do further research so that it can be used by the community comfortably.
