Calcium hydroxide is the gold standard material as a capping agent but it has disadvantages due to its high pH. Haruan fish extract (Channa striata) contains active compositions such as albumin, unsaturated fatty acids and important minerals that are needed in the inflammatory process, those can be considered as an alternative medicine to subtitute calcium hydroxide. To determine the effect of the application of haruan fish extracts (Channa striata) on the number of PMN leukocyte cells and the expression of IL-1 Alpha; in the inflamed dental pulp of Wistar rat. Samples were 24 Wistar rats. Experimental animals were divided into 3 groups: negative control group, treatment group (application of haruan fish extract), positive control group (application of calcium hydroxide) to be decapitated in a period of 12 and 72 h. Data were analyzed using the Kruskall Wallis and Chi-square test. There was a decreased in the number of PMN leukocyte cells and low expression of IL-1 Alpha from strong staining to no staining on histological examination and statistical tests (p<0.05) according to observation time 12 and 72 h in the treatment group. Haruan fish extract is effective in decreasing PMN leukocyte infiltration and reducing IL-1α expression. ER -
