Aloe Veraand Citrus Lemonare herbal plants
that have various properties as antibacterial and
antimicrobial. The combination of Aloe Veraand Citrus
Lemonextracts is formulated in the form of a solution
named ALOEMON that can be used as a natural
disinfectant. Previous research has shown it can inhibit
the growth of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.
Streptococcus sp is one of the most common bacteria
found after tooth extraction. The purpose of the study
was to determine the effectiveness of ALOEMON as
natural disinfectants by testing the Minimum Inhibitory
Concentration (KHM) and the Minimum Killing
Concentration (KBM) test, as well as to formulate and
determine the physical stability. Using Quasy
Experiment pretest-posttest with control group design.
Sampling was done by identifying tooth extraction tools
exposed to Streptococcus sp media Nutrient Agar (NA).
Bacterial testing using spectrophotometry is a fast way to
count the number of bacteria in a solution using the
liquid dilution method. Subjects were divided into 2
groups, namely the intervention and control groups. This
research uses a pharmaceutical chemistry laboratory
and a microbiology laboratory. Statistical test using
paired sample test, One way ANOVA. Results:
effectiveness of inhibition (p=0.001), the effectiveness of
the killing power of 75% concentration (p=0.002), the
effectiveness of the killing power of the concentration of
50% (p=0.007). Conclusion: The formulation
ALOEMON extracts has potential against KHM and
KBM of bacteria.
