ABSTRACT
The purpose of the research is to dissect about antioxidant effectiveness of guava leaf extract mouthwash (Psidium guajava L) to increase pH, flow rate, and salivary volume in young adult and elderly subjects. This type of research is true experimental research. The place and time of the research is carried out from June to August 2021. The sample is the subject who will do the treatment totaling 40 people. Statistical analysis is performed using repeated measure ANOVA test, unpaired t test, and paired t test. The results show that clinical trials of young adults and elderly subjects who gargled using guava leaf extract mouthwash (Psidium guajava L) extracted using the maceration method and compared with 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate showed significant results on salivary pH, salivary flow rate, and salivary volume which are carried out for 14 days. The results of ANOVA repeated measure test of guava leaf extract mouthwash (Psidium guajava L) 3.5% and chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% in young adult and elderly subjects with salivary pH, salivary flow rate, and salivary volume type show that there are an average difference. Unpaired t test of guava leaf extract mouthwash (Psidium guajava L) 3.5% and chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% in young adult and elderly subjects with salivary pH, salivary flow rate, and salivary volume type show that there are some an average difference. For paired t test of guava leaf extract mouthwash (Psidium guajava L) 3.5% and chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% in young adult and elderly subjects with salivary pH, salivary flow rate, and salivary volume type show that there are an average difference. The mean significant increase in the measurement time interval of 14 days is because the value of sig < 0.05.
