One of the natural products containing dyestuff betacyanin, namely the peel of the red dragon (Hylocereus polyrhizus). This research aimed to review the peels of red dragon betacyanin (Hylocereus polyrhizus) in the mucoadhesive gel formula as an alternative disclosing agent.
Method: Research is done with the manufacture of thick peels of a red dragon extract with the maceration methods. In clinical trials carried out an application red dragon fruit peel mucoadhesive gel 10%, concentration 15 % and Three-Tone Plaque Disclosing Gel. The assessment of plaque was carried out using the O’leary method.
Result: The results obtained were analyzed by the t-test method. The mean of plaque index scores with red dragon fruit peel mucoadhesive gel concentrations of 10% (22.08), 15% (26,29) and Three-Tone Plaque Disclosing Gel (66,21; 64,20).
