The results showed that Seeds Tamarind has the ability in lowering OHI-S (p < 0,05); Likewise with the clove on the significance of 5% is able to degrade OHIS (p < 0,05). However, when compared both, However, when compared both, it turns out the ability of Tamarind Seed in lowering OHI-S is no different with cloves (p > 0.05)
