The dataset of 'The effects of 3% binahong (Anredera cordifolia) leaf extract gel on the alveolar bone healing in post-extraction tooth socket wound in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus)'

Background: Binahong (Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) STEENIS) is a widely available herbal plant in Indonesia and has been intensely researched for its healing abilities due to its biological activities, but few studied its capability in accelerating hard tissue healing in post-extraction sockets. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of 3% binahong leaf extract gel on the alveolar bone healing in the post-extraction sockets in Wistar rats.

Methods: In this study, 48 male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to twelve groups. After the extraction of the left mandibular incisor, sockets in Group I to IV were given 3% binahong leaf extract gel, group V to VIII were given base gel, and group IX to XII were given Gengigel® for 14 days. The residual socket volume (RSV) and fibroblast proliferation were observed on the 3rd, 7th, and 14th day post-extraction, while the osteoblast and osteocyte proliferation were observed on the 7th, 14th, and 28th day post-extraction. The RSV data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA and one-way ANOVA, while the histopathological data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA.

Results: The results showed that the binahong group had the lowest RSV and the highest fibroblast proliferation compared to the other groups on the 7th day (p<0.05) and the highest osteoblast and osteocyte proliferation compared to the other groups on the 14th day (p<0.05).

Conclusion: The experiment showed that 3% binahong leaf extract gel could enhance alveolar bone healing by increasing the proliferation of fibroblasts, osteoblasts, and osteocytes.
