This study developed an antibacterial oral gel to inhibit Streptococcus mutans, a bacterium that causes tooth decay. The was formulated using methanol extract of Piper betel leaves, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and glycerin at different concentrations. evaluated for pH, viscosity activity against S. mutans standard methods. showed potent activity, supporting its use in the formulation. In sili...

BACKGROUND Betel chewing has been shown to predispose to periodontal disease and oral cancer. Studies show that people with gum disease are more likely to test positive for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). It is not known if the lesions produced by betel quid and the resulting, chemical changes predispose to colonization by H. pylori. Further the role of this organism in oral cancer is not know...

This study aims to determine the effect of adding betel leaf extract (Piper betle) feed and most effective doses for treatment tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) infected with Aeromonas hydrophila. was an experimental using a completely randomized design trial consisting 4 treatments 3 replications. The tested consisted control (without giving extract), A (giving 0.40 g/100 g feed), B 0.60 C 0.80 ...

The epidemiology and area of the spread DHF is increasing along with mobility population density. One efforts made in eradicating mosquito vectors by using insecticides. This study aimed to examine effectiveness combination avocado (Persea americana) betel leaf (Piper betle) ethanol extracts against death Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. research design experimental post test only control group design...

BACKGROUND Betel quid, chewed by about 600 million people worldwide, is one of the most widely used addictive substances. Cessation factors in betel quid chewers are unknown. The present study explores prevalence and the quit rate of betel quid chewing in Taiwan aborigines. Our goal was to delineate potential predictors of chewing cessation. METHODS A stratified random community-based survey ...

Objective: The purpose of this study is to create and assess edible film formulations from betel (Piper betle L.) leaf extract that may be used treat Streptococcus mutans bacteria-caused halitosis.
 Methods: Using ethanol as a solvent, the extraction process was employed produce concentrated leaf. To find minimum dose could suppress bacteria development, antibacterial activity studied on s...

Objective: To determine the extraction technique and content of linalool, as dominant compound, in black betel essential oil from East Kalimantan using a validated analytical method.
 Methods: Extraction was carried out steam distillation. Essential oils were assessed by observing colour solubility ethanol. Using an Agilent GC-MS with 5977B (GCMSD) detector, DB-5MS column, helium gas carri...
