Abstract: Efforts to prevent gingivitis are indispensable; one of them is choosing toothpaste properly. Currently, many toothpastes are containing more than an active material. Additional of herbs in the toothpaste could hamper the growth of plaques. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of siwak toothpaste and non-siwak toothpaste in reducing gingival index in post scalling treatment patients in Periodontology RSGM Sam Ratulangi University Manado. This was a randomized controlled trial group, which was performed to 30 patients. The subjects were divided into 2 groups: One group that used siwak toothpaste and another group that used non-siwak toothpaste. Gingivitis scoring was performed by using Gingival Index (GI) from Loe and Sillness on the day the patients got scalling treatment and then after two weeks. The collected data were analyzed by using Mann Whitney test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between using siwak toothpaste and non-siwak toothpaste in reduction the gingival index with a p value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: There was a difference between the use of siwak toothpaste and non-siwak toothpaste in gingival index reduction in post scalling patients.

Abstrak: Upaya pencegahan terjadinya gingivitis sangat diperlukan. Hal yang dapat dilakukan antara lain dengan memilih pasta gigi yang tepat. Saat ini sudah banyak pasta gigi yang beredar dengan berbagai merek dan hampir semuanya mengandung lebih dari satu bahan aktif. Penambahan herbal pada pasta gigi dapat menghambat pertumbuhan plak penyebab terjadinya gingivitis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan efektivitas pasta gigi yang mengandung siwak dengan pasta gigi tanpa siwak pada pasien post skeling di Bagian Periodontologi RSGM Universitas Sam Ratulangi Manado. Desain penelitian ini ialah randomized controlled trial group terhadap 30 pasien pasca skeling. Subyek penelitian dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok yaitu kelompok penyikatan gigi dengan memakai pasta gigi siwak dan kelompok penyikatan gigi dengan memakai pasta gigi tanpa siwak.Penilaian indeks gingiva menurut Loe dan Sillness dilakukan setelah pasien gingivitis mendapatkan perawatan skeling dan dua minggu setelah pemakaian pasta gigi. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan uji Mann Whitney. Hasil uji Mann Whitney menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan penurunan indeks gingiva yang bermakna antara penggunaan pasta gigi yang mengandung siwak dengan penggunaan pasta gigi tanpa siwak dengan nilai signifikansi 0,000 (p<0,05). Simpulan: Terdapat perbedaan antara penggunaan pasta gigi siwak dengan pasta gigi tanpa siwak pada pasien post skeling.
