Abstract

Gingivitis is inflammation of the gingival tissue without loss of attachment and destruction of the alveolar bone. Many natural ingredients are currently used to treat gingivitis, one of which is turmeric. This study is a laboratory experimental study that aims to determine the effectiveness of turmeric in the form of a gel with a concentration of 12.5% in reducing the gingival index. Wistar rats (Rattus Copernicus) were used as experimental animals for manipulation of gingivitis using wire ligature. The gingivitis was then applied with turmeric extract gel with a concentration of 12.5%. The results of statistical tests using the Kruskal Wallis Test showed p=0.03 (p<0.05), which indicated a significant difference between the study groups. This study concluded that 12.5% turmeric extract gel was effective in reducing the gingival index in gingivitis-induced rats.
