- Abstract
Oral prophylaxis is the most widely used procedure before fissure sealant and topical application fluor. This procedure was done by application of prophylaxis pumice and paste by rubber cup in the low-speed handpiece to the dental crown. Pumice is an abrasive oral prophylaxis material that is commonly used and has been clinically tested for its effectiveness in removing enamel stain. Vannamei shrimp shell is a waste product that has advantages for its chitosan content. Shrimp shell is widely available and has a chitin compound that can be converted into chitosan powder, which can be used as an abrasive powder to clean and polish the surface of teeth enamel. The objective of this study is to determine the potential of shrimp shell vannameibased powder as a material of oral prophylaxis. This study was a laboratory experiment with a pretest and posttest with a control group design. Twelve post-extracted teeth were used as a sample in this study, divided into two groups, six samples in Group A (pumice powder) and 6 samples in Group B (chitosan powder made of shrimp shell vannamei) for 30 seconds and 60 seconds each group. The sample was observed with the Surface Roughness Tester device, and data were analyzed with a t-test. The result of this study showed a significant effect in Group A (pumice powder) for 30 seconds and 60 seconds, while Group B (chitosan powder made of shrimp shell vannamei) showed significant results for 60 seconds. Based on the study conducted, chitosan powder made of shrimp shell vannamei is effective as oral prophylaxis material.
