Pengaruh Perendaman Nilon Termoplastik Dalam Berbagai Konsentrasi Ekstrak Bunga Cengkeh Terhadap Modulus Elastisitas
ABSTRACT: Thermoplastic nylon
is one of denture basic alternative made by resin polyamide because its high
flexibility and good translutient, but hard to be smoothed and polished causing
food waste accumulation and plaque formation. Clove flower extract proved as
antiseptic used to be a denture cleanser material, but its contens of phenol
essence can break the thermoplastic nylon chain. Purpose: The aim of this study
was to determine the effect of thermoplastic nylon immersion in various concentration:
0,8%, 1%, 1,2%, 1,4% and 1,6%, of clove flower extract to the modulus
elasticity. Materials and Methods: This study was an laboratories experimental
using post-test only control group design. The samples in 65 mm x 10 mm x 2,5
mm size were 30 samples. Those samples grouped into 6 groups immersed in
aquadest and clove flower extract solution that is grouped based on the
concentrations: 0,8%, 1%, 1,2%, 1,4% and 1,6% for 23 days. The modulus
elasticity of thermoplastic nylon measured with Universal Testing Machine
(UTM). Data was analysed using One Way Anova. Result and Conclusions: the
conclusion of this study represented that thermoplastic nylon plates immersion
in clove flower extract at the concentration 0,8%, 1%, 1,2%, 1,4% and 1,6% was
affected the modulus elasticitys. The most effective clove extract
concentration to be use as denture cleanser was 1,6% because it has the lowest
increasing value of nylon thermoplastic modulus elasticity.
