ABSTRACT

Streptococcus viridans is a Gram-positive facultative anaerobethat most commonly found in infected root canals. The biomechanical preparation of root canal treatmentrequires root canal irrigation as it functions not onlyused tocleanser but alsoantibacterial agent.NaOCl 2,5% is the most commonly used Endodontic irrigant, howeverit is still considered to have several disadvantages. Cocoa podshell(Theobroma cacaoL.) are industrial plantation waste which has a source of antibacterial compounds thatexpected to be an alternative to substituteNaOCl’s drawbacks. This study aim to examine the antibacterial effectivenessof cocoa pod shellextract against S.viridans. The researchisposttestonly group control designand the method use broth dilution to examine the antibacterial effectiveness. The results of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Levene's test showed that data set which exhibited both non-normally distributed and non-homogeneous, continued with the nonparametric test using the Kruskal-wallis test, it was found that p <0.5 meant there were significantly differences between all study groups.25%; 12,5%; 6,25%; 3,125%; 1,56%; 0,78%concentration of cocoa pod shell extracthas antibacterial activity against S.viridans. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration to against S.viridansis cocoa pod shell extract concentration 0,78%. Cocoa pod shell extract concentration 12,5% and 25% equal to NaOCL 2,5%
