Background: Acanthus ilicifolius L. has antifungal potential and makes it possible to be a candidate for denture cleanser. This study aims to evaluate the effect of effervescent Acanthus ilicifolius L. extract on antifungal properties and flexural strength acrylic after immersion for three duration times.
Method: Extracts were made by maceration method with ethanol. For the antifungal test, effervescent Acanthus ilicifolius L extract was prepared by combining the Acanthus ilicifolius L extract 4% and sodium perborate with two ratios, 1:7 and 1:14. The microdilution method was carried out. Effervescent Acanthus ilicifolius L extract 4% with ratio 1:7 was prepared for the flexural strength test. The fifty-four heat-cured acrylic resin (20x10x2.5mm) were fabricated and divided into 3 groups. Group 1 was immersed in aquadest (control); Group 2 was immersed in sodium perborate; Group 3 was immersed in effervescent Acanthous ilicifolius L. extract. Each group was immersed for 15 min, 8, and 56 hours (n=6). The flexural strength test was performed using Universal Testing Machine.
Result: Effervescent Acanthus ilicifolius L. extract exhibited antifungal activity which increased in an effervescent Acanthus ilicifolius L extract-dependent manner significantly (0.57 to 0.50 OD). There were no significant differences between sodium perborate, effervescent_AI1 (1:7) and effervescent_AI2 (1:14). The flexural strength was found to be within the range of 66.1 - 68.3 MPa. There were no significant differences between groups (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Effervescent Acanthus ilicifolius L extract with the ratios 1:7 had a good antifungal effect and appropriate flexural strength after immersion for 15 min, 8, and 56 hours.
