| Abstract | Introduction: Jatropha curcas L. leaf extract can overcome periodontal disease because it contains compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, and tannins that are antibacterial. Objective: To determine the effectiveness and inhibition of Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) leaf extract against Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria. Materials and Methods: Paper discs placed on MHA media containing test bacteria, then ethanol extracts of jatropha leaves with concentrations of 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%. Results: At a concentration of 20% Jatropha curcas L leaf extract compared with a concentration of 40%, 60%, 80% Jatropha curcas L leaf extract and negative control using distilled water had a p-value <0.05. At a concentration of 80% Jatropha curcas L leaf extract compared with negative control using distilled water and positive control using Metronidazole had a p-value <0.05. Conclusion: At a concentration of 40% Jatropha curcas L leaf extract was sufficient to have an antibacterial effect with an average of inhibition zones formed was 7.96 mm while 80% concentration was the most optimal condition in inhibiting bacteria. |
