Abstract: Denture plate materials such as acrylic resin can induce adhesion of Candida albicans. Therefore, acrylic resin needs to be immersed in disinfectant. However, disinfectant can change its physical and mechanical properties, hence an alternative material is needed, such as hibiscus flower (Hibiscus rosa sinensis L.) due to its antifungal activity. This study was aimed to identify the effects of hibiscus flower extract and its concentrations towards the growth of C. albicans on acrylic resin plates. This was an experimental and laboratory study using the post-test only with control group design.  Acrylic resins were immersed in suspension of C. albicans, then were divided into four groups, as follows: 62.5% and 75% hibiscus flower extract (group I and II), positive control (sodium hypochlorite), and negative control (sterile aquadest). Acrylic resins were cultured and incubated on SDA media for 24 hours then the number of colonies were calculated. The results showed that C. albicans colonies in the treatment groups I, II, negative control, and positive control were 495 CFU/ml, 571.25 CFU/mL, 1175 CFU/mL, 23.125 CFU/mL respective-ly. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed significant differences in number of colonies of C. albicans (p<0.05) among all groups The post hoc Mann-Whitney test showed that all groups were significantly different, except for treatment groups I towards II. In conclusion, extract of hibiscus flower (H. rosa sinensis L.) affected the growth of C. albicans on acrylic resin plates.Keywords: hibiscus flower; Hibiscus rosa sinensis L.; Candida albicans; acrylic resin  Abstrak: Adanya bahan plat basis gigi tiruan seperti resin akrilik dapat memicu perlekatan C. albicans; oleh karena itu, resin akrilik perlu direndam dalam larutan desinfektan.

ABSTRACTMosquitoes are type of insect that acts as a disease vector. One of them is Culex sp mosquitos which their existence is many around us. In Indonesia there are still a lot of disease cases that caused by Culex sp mosquitos, one of them is filariasis disease. The efforts to control thecurrent population of Culex sp mosquitoes mostly use chemical insecticides. The control becomes difficult because of the resistance to chemical insecticides and adversely affects the environment. This study aims to determine the potential of jackfruit leaf extract as biolarvasida against Culex sp. The type of this study was post test onlycontrolled group design, using 625 larvae Culex sp instar III, divided into 5 groups (negative control group, 0.25% extract, 0.50% extract, 0.75% extract, extract and 1% extract). Observation was performed 24 hoursafter the treatment and counted the number of larvae death.The data were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis test followed by Post Hoc Mann-Whitney U test to determine the killing power of leafy leaf extractusing Probit analysis. The results of data analysis in this study were thedeath rate percentage of larvae after 24 hours treatment was 0% incontrol, 44% in 0.25%extract, 52% in0.50% extract, 60% in 0.75%extract,while in the extract group of 1%, the number of larval deaths was 72%. Itobtained results with significant differencein some treatment groups thatwere concentrations of 0.25% - 1%. Probit analysis showed that LC50 wasat 0.382% concentration.From results of the studyit can be concluded that jackfruit leaf extract(Artocarpus heterophyllus Lamk) was potential as Culex sp mosquitobiolarvacide. So it is necessary to conduct further research on the effectsof compounds that contained in other plant parts such as flowers, stemsand roots which will be expected to have a function asbiolarvasida.Keywords: Leaf Jackfruit, Biolarvasida, Mosquito Culex sp
