Abstract

Kombucha is a probiotic fermented drink produced through a consortium of bacteria and yeast known as Scoby (Symbiotic Culture/Colony Bacteria & Yeast), serving as an initial culture that aids in the fermentation process. Kombucha also contains organic acids, including ascorbic acid, which is also found in tomatoes and can contribute to teeth whitening. This study aimed to assess the level of tooth brightness as a whitening agent and the degree of reduction in erosive effects on tooth specimens following the application of the tomato kombucha patch preparation. This study employed the methods of dependent and independent variables. The independent variable took the form of variations in the length of fermentation time for kombucha and tomato fruit kombucha in the preparation of teeth whitening patches. The dependent variable involved evaluations before the patch formation and evaluations after the patch formation. The results of the tomato kombucha patch formulation exhibit an increase in tooth brightness following the application process. Meanwhile, in the erosivity test, the tomato patch formulation exhibits a smaller erosion effect compared to the tomato kombucha patch formulation, as observed in the results of the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) characteristics test. The tomato kombucha patch formulation shows potential in enhancing tooth brightness due to the significantly increased content of ascorbic acid produced during the combination process of fermenting kombucha tea with tomatoes.
